CAPITAL COSMOPOLITAN.. ‘Washington’s cosmopolitan make- up is reflected in its death records. Figures made public today by the Bu- reau of Vital Statistics of the District Health Department show that 56 per cent of the persons who died here aur- ing the calendar year 1925 came from other sections of the United States and 8.23 per cent from foreign coun- tries. The birthplace of 8.23 per cent of those who died is unknown. The statistics for 1925 follow closely those of the preceding year.

She really wanted P. B. Phoenix Hose in the new light shades, $1.95. There was a time when folks made the terrible breach of mixing presents to the extent of sending Uncle Jeremiah Bonecutter a set of poker chips. Horrors! What would the Ladies’ Auxiliary think! And besides, Uncle J. B. has a weak heart. He wanted warm underwear. And there was a time (thank goodness it’s no more) when Aunt Sophia sent her nephew Frank a frilly lace edged thing called a Tie-Ring. Frank registers utter blankness. Why didn’t she buy him a Fashion Knit scarf—$3.50 VIA PARKER.BRIDGET’S CHRISTMAS Morning—and the Brown family is one of the hap- piest in Washington. Every Christmas “Thank you!” comes from the heart— for the Browns are very modern people in more ways than one. ¢ They have the same old-time Christmas sentiment and spirit — ask Grandma Bfown, and she’ll tell you so. But the old-time idea of giv- ing inappropriate things is conspicuous by its absence. Mr. Brown (at the left), receives, among other practical gifts, a Man- hattan Shirt—couldn’t please him more. Mrs. Brown, at his side, is exclaiming “What beautiful handkerchiefs!” while Cousin Bill, visit- ing for the holidays, is delighted to possess a silk muffler for evening wear. Grandma Brown (of the Van Ressenger Browns, bless her heart) is fondly patting the warm robe she will use the next time she rides in the open car. Twelve-year-old Richard had the “thrill of a lifetime” when he re- ceived his new Patrick Mackinaw, and Jackie Brown is hilariously happy as he pictures himself with Bill Hart and Tom Mix ropmg cows in Texas. And see the smile on the face of Mr. Brown, Sr. Today he will stroll ((1:own Sixteenth street with his beautiful silver-trimmed Malacca ane. And below are pictured the other Practical Gifts the Browns received: Handkerchiefs — three in a box, col- ored initials—$1. Domet Flannelette Pajamas in all sizes, Soft leather slip- rs, priced from g 50 to $5. Collegiate striped ties, hundreds of pat- terns—$1.50. Collar attached fine madras shirts— $3.50.

And nice belts and buckles are so inexpensive. And not so long ago little Willie, the barefoat, care- free sort of boy, was pre- sented with a beautiful box of woolen underwear—made by the “You-Can’t Help But Scratch” people. And Willie was longing for a big sweat- er and a football. (Sweaters, $6.50.) Not so very long ago father tells the prize Christ- mas story of how his very rich elder sister in Denver sent him a “rare old antique” (as she expressed it). Father expressed it right back again. He'’s the sort of man who likes a Dunhill pipe. ($10, first floor.)
