Patterson in Suit Charges Corporation Misrepresented In- come of Apartment She Bought. Asserting that 34 of the 66 apart- ments in the Faraday at 1460 Irving street were filled with “straw” tenants and that the defendants or some of them notified these tenants not to pay rent to her, Olive E. Patterson, who bought the house for $310,000, today sued the District Apartment Corpora- tion, Capital Apartment Corporation, Maddox, Marshall, Moss & Mallory and Courtland Nixon and George J. Moss, trustees, She charges misrep- resentation in connection with the purchase of the property and for the cancellation of a third deed of trust note for $16,500 and for damages of $35,000 in which amount she claims to have been damaged. Because of failure to collect rentals, the plaintiff says, she was not able to pay the sum of $3,000, according to her agreement of July 27, when she bought the property, and the holder of the note ordered the trustees to sell'the property, which was *knocked down” to the District Apartment Cor- poration. The plaintiff also claims that the District Apartment Corpora- tion is only another name for Maddox, Marshall, Moss & Mallory. Through Attorneys Seal & Dice and George L. Boswell, the plaintiff says, it was represented to her that the apartment building, if fully rented, would provide a gross rental of $37,860 and that all but 12 of the apartments were rented to bona fide tenants, while she declares that it could fot yield more than $32,472 and alleges that she has been damaged to the extent of $35,000 by the alleged James A. and ¥ Arthur Carr of Hyattsville, Md., will take place this evening at 8 o'clock, in the home of the bride's parents, 2901 Sixteenth street, the Rev.

THE EVENING STORY A Colorful Affair. USTIN BIRCH lived alone in the old Birch homestead, as it was called by everybody in Centerville, He was a fine, middle-aged man. In fact he was just the kind of man who might have been expected to win the heart of any woman he sought. But, strange to say, this was not the case. ‘When Austin Birch was 20 he had fallen desperately and finally in love with Culla Cath. He still ioved her and he had tried to win her by every art known to 2 lover. Culla would have nono of him. She 'ived with her mother in a _pretty white house which stood directly across the street from the old Birch homestend. Culla was a pretty woman only a year or two younger than Austin. She, 100, might have married any one of a dozen ad- mirers, but she shook her head to all their pleadings and continued to iive on with her mother. Of course, Culla was always friendly in a weighborly way. She was also duly appreciative of the many gifts of grapes, gpples and fresh vegetables which stin was constantly carrying across to the Cath home, but her thanks were usually pomely couched in such phrases as: “Those grapes you brought over were perfectly lovely, Auxtin. _ Mother enjoyed them 80 much. She wished me to thank you for her.” Surely even the most ar- dent lover could get but small com- | tort from this. Finally in desperation Austin took *| his problem to old Mr. Burns, who had had three fine wives and was sup- posed to be an authority on matri- monial subjects. “‘Oh, I say,” Austin tried to keep his “Just how can a man go to work to win the only woman in the world?” “The only woman in the world?” chuckled old Mr. Burns with a sly twinkle in his eyes. “Wall, Austin, that's a pretty big order seeing that I've already had three of the very best women in the world myself. And I guess every man feels the same way. Who's bothering you?" “The only woman in the world, Zack for me,” Austin sald, quietly, “and so far as I can learn she don’t even know I exist.” “Then you must make her,” Zack Burns sald firmly. “Judging from ‘| what I've seen and heard the woman you're talking about is Culla Cath. Now she ain’t in my line at all, but every man to his taste. She's a fine woman, all right, but she’s got some fool notion that she’s a little too good for common use. If I ain’t mistaken it's all her ma’s doings. She raised that girl first, lJast and always to be her daughter. She's educated her in art and drummed it into Culla that a Y. W. C.

That our lives are made or marred by the color of our surroundings—harmony in color—bah!” After a moment spent in deep thought Zack said: ‘“Austin, my boy, you've got to jar them Caths out of their colorful religion.” “But how?” » “Set tight,” Zack said. “I'll think it out. And then you do just exactly as I tell you.” Two days later painters were secn about the Birch house, and they be- gan to apply yellow paint assiduously. it was a great improvement, for the house had long had quite a_ shabby look. Different people stopped Austin to comment on the imprcvement of the place. Even Culla paused to say in passing: “Great improvement, Austin.” “Thank you, committally, returned Austin non- | When the body of the house was all painted the whole neighborhood was shocked to see the men spreading bright blue paint on cornice and casings. But to all comments Austin turned a_deaf ear. The passers-by thought the very worst had happened, when the painters began to hang the blinds back on the windows. The blinds, too, were blue, and such a . €. glaring, brazen blue had never been seen before on the outside of any house. Culla refused to speak to Au: tin when she met him on the street. Two more days passed and Culla still refused to speak to Austin. Old Mrs. Bu watching from behind -losed blinds, confided to her crony, Mrs. Coons, “that Austy Birch ain’t | carried a single offering across the | t to the Caths in more than 10 days.” One morning when the sun was ling the whole street with an un- usual warmth for that time of the vear, Austin appeared with paint pall ind brush and began to paint the big | double front doors of his house. After he had applied the brush vigorously for a few moments he stepped et apparently to view his handiwork and it was revealed to all watchers that he was painting the door a' glowing. burning scarlet! He stood a moment in grave thought. Just as he re- sumed his work Culla Cath came run- ning across the street. “Austin Birch!" she cried, “are you crazy? Don't you know that you are doing a horrible thing? Oh, it's per- pectly awful!” She actually wrung her hands in the stress of her agita tion “Don't you like 'em, Culla?”" Austin spoke calinly h his heart was heating like mad to my notion it's meat, but not gaudy. Something different, you know.

Culla drew a long breath. She stood in confusion. Then swiftly turning, she raced home. Austin looked at her from over his shoulder. He felt doubt, gloom. Was it indeed true, as old Mr. Burns sald, that Culla really cared for him and it was all her mother's doings? For a week Austin saw nothing of Culla or Mrs, Cath. The shades of the front windows on the Cath house \\m e drawn down until not even a light shone forth, even at, night. One early morning Austin, harassed b the witticilsms of his neighbors, w heginning to feel he had merely made himself ridiculous. He was on the verge of summoning the painters back to undo their work when he was called to the telephone. “Austin,” it was Culla’s voice, “Mother wants to see you. She wants you to come right over—will you come?” “Well it all dener Austin an SOCIETY ~ . swered evasively. lo come, Culla?” —yes—I do," tremulously. Austin snapped the receiver onto the hook. He was half way across the street before the sound had ceased to reverberate through the house. (Copyright 1027.) (THE END) LEE QUARTERS BURNED.
