AROUND THE CITY BY NANNIE N making a pilgrimage to Mount Vernon you might naturally assume that the Father of his Country would furnish the su- preme interest of your visit, but— not when an Army blimp is around! The mansion one day last week was filled with tourists, up and down each intent upon the colonial hings of the A man, packed be tween layers o! anity wedged did the followed copy until an alled out to a compan t time airship pilgrim pehold a blimp, officially il s 9"—curving around the mar so low in the air that the crew waved to the people massed on the lawn and the people waved back. The big thing sailed around, around and around the mansion, just high enough to skirt the tops of the trees, and there the visitors stood, with up- craned necks, too excited even to put their amazement into words. You may have noticed that most of us take big, strong emotions in near- silence like that. The ever-present exception showed up, of course—this time a girl, who was unselfish enough to remember that her companion somehow ‘had failed to catch on. She was studying a model of the Bastille under glass in the lower hall when the unselfish one raced to the front door and shrilled out: “Come on, Bess—you are missing everything—there's an airship play- ing around—c'mon!” ‘And during the four circles made by that blimp in tribute to Washing- ton and all he stood for the Father of His Country was entirely forgotten by the visitors in the greater and more exciting interest of the dirigi- ble. LANCASTER. the next war is over you will see what a millennium looks like, with the laboring man in full power—in fact, there will be -no laboring man because there will be no bosses. Each worker will be free to help himself to the pleasures and to the leisure that are his due. That bunk about the shelling of historic monuments, and so on—what use are they? What do we want with any- thing the past can give us when we have the future ahead? I wouldn't give a car token for all the old masters and cathedrals you could make me present of. No sir, I am too rich in my own possession of things more important. Where did I put that transfer? Afrald I dropped it, and as I have nothing less than a bill you will have to let me borrow a token— thanks.” The token was passed over with a smile, and when the anarchist had let himself out on the platform the seated man's smile had widened and broad- ened into a chuckle, which he seemed very much to enjoy. And the passenger seated behind deduced that he was amusing himself at’ the thought that a man who wouldn’t give a token for all the monuments and cathedrals devasted by the war sheuld help himself to another man's carfare to save him- self the trouble of changing a bill Which may, or may not, be the way of anarchists in general. * ok ok % SHE was a nice little woman in a new frock she had made herself. And while she was beaming in on another woman at a desk, her talk budget bubbled out—about like this: “Isn’t it queer how many people are always in a hurry? They start out on a pleasure trip at a gait that suggests there is a fire somewhere. “They run half a block. or dart in front of oncoming traffic to catch a crowded street car, risking death from heart failure or brake faflure, when the car behind would take them just as well, and possibly with a com- fortable seat all the way. “One warm Sunday evening recently a couple who had been home all day decided to take a ride on a street car to cool off and call on some friends in the suburbs. As they neared the transfer point on the way the husband went to the front of the car, expecting the wife to follow close behind. But others were in a hurty, too, and got up in time to step be- tween. Husband stepped off, and, vishing to cross the tracks before the var started, hurriedly helped a woman down the steps and grabbed her arm to hasten her along. But the woman Which seems to show the difference between dead-and-gone history that you merely read about and any novel something that catches the interest of your eyes—the difference between the has-been and the mow. * ok E % TWO men were talking in a street car, To be strictly exact, one man did the talking, while the other served as audience—along with a passenger in the seat behind. 'And the man who talked was an anarchist; he said so: “Anarchism s right—and while this war did big work toward killing off began to pull away and cry, “Hold on there!” The man looked up and found his partner was a colored woman. Explanations followed, and everybody laughed. “The wife enjoyed getting even with friend husband, for in the war days, when the ¢ity was full of new- comers thrilled with the wonders our - beautiful Capital, they ha visited a museum. . Deeply interested in what she saw, wife grasped, sup- posediy; her husband's hand, wishing him to share her enthusiasm.. After wandering about for some time. she looked up'and found she had been royalty and the titled class, we need goln‘ from case to case swinging the another to complete the job.
