WOMAN'S PAGE. The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. It was the end of the first half last Baturday afternoon in Griffith Sta- dium. The competing teams had scampered off the field for the brief Tespite preceding the final half. Thirty - five hun- dred spectators chatted while some sang. It was 8 (=7 typn:‘{ foot ball | B Across the grid- dron a band played. A special stand had been erected for Georgetown students and B groaned with their ers, as graceful as Pavilova, twisted their lithe bodies as they led their school companions in mighty yells, at the conclusion of which they executed handsprings. Then the band formed in marching order and, headed by a gayly caparisoned drum mafor, sWuLg down the field to the strains of a lively tune. Halting before the Georgetown stand, they “left-faced” toward the college men. The student body rose as one man. In the upper and lower tiers of the steel structure others stood with hats in hand. Old men and youngsters alike bared their heads. It was a pause of solemnity. The band leader elevated himself on the top of a chair and waved his baton. From the great brass throats of the instru- ments sounded the college hymn, the ‘words of which were sung by the men of town. In our humble opinion there is nothing so impressive as sight and sound. “I have missed the greatest experi- ence in life,” bewailed a middle-aged man sitting near us. “When I was a youngster I left school to go to work, and today I am comfortably well off. I have read the best books and in a general way have contrived to educate myself. If I had my life to live over I should go to college if for no other reason than participate in the fellow- ship which only university men ke ‘The songs and yells I have just heard will be remembered by those boys over in the stand when the result of this particular game is forgotten. “My own boy will graduate soon from an Eastern school, and I do not care how proficient he is in translating from the early Greek or how able he may be in mathematics. He will have absorbed something that his old man missed.” Then the teams dashed out once again for the concluding half.™ * % k % more or less sumptuous repast.

A few weeks ago I- took two busi- ness acquaintarice§ to a night club in a. Eastern city, and. before I got out of the place the burglars extracted $40 from me, not including the cover charges. From my observa- <l tion, and I travel constantly, the ‘sucker places’ are slowly going out of isiness. bus It used to be considered ‘smart’ to entertain friends tn a place where the passwords were necessary to break in and where one was flattered when ad- mitted. You were a riot with the girls and the admiration of man friends from the ‘sticks’ when your party was escorted to a table adjacent to the dance floor where hundreds of other boobs were trying to two-step on a postage stamp. It was a clear case of trying to show off. Men are willing to pay an absurd price for the privi- lege of being flattered. One night I saw an industrial giant- beam like a kid with a circus ticket merely be- cause a club hostess singled him out and asked -the guests to give him a hand. His wife wasn't so pleased When her spouse rose and acknowledged the ovation. The man's genius and a complishments are nationally known, but I believe that he was more tickled by the recognition of strangers that night than by any of his achievements.

October 25, 1861.—Hospitals in Wash- ington and Georgetown are being made ready today to receive large numbers of Union soldiers wounded in the Bat- tle of Balls Bluff, near Leesburg, Va. four days ago. Word was received to- day that the first of the wounded would arrive at any moment. A list of the Union killed and wound- ed in all the fighting this week on the Virginia side of the Potomac River above Washington is being prepared at the headquarters of the Union forces, Jocated at Poolesville, Md. The names will be telegraphed to this city in a few hours. T A few of the wounded en to the Union Hospital in Georgetown and the remainder will be taken to the Government Hospital for Insane, where they can have very comfortable quar- ters and at the same time be. entirely separated from the usual inmates of that institution. Some convalescents from these two Jocal hospitals are being removed to the infirmaries at Annapolis, where at present there are 200 vacant beds. During the Winter, as the convalescent soldiers improve, they will be moved northward to Philadelphia and other cities. ‘The Pusey of the Potomac flotilla came up the river during the night, and today is anchored at ‘the navy yard. She reports that the Confed- erate steamer George Page harbors in Quantico Creek, Virginia, and occa- sionally runs out into the Potomac, keeping always under cover of the Con- federate shore batteries. The Confed- erate gunners “amused themselves,” the Pusey reports, by throwing a few ghells yesterday at the Union men on the Maryland side of the Potomac. The Union, the Iceboat and the BSatellite, of the Potomac flotilla, which were between Shipping Point and Mat- thias Point a few days ago, were or- dered to retire below Aquia Creek as soon as the additional batteries at Matthias Point opened fire. This they did under cover of the darkness, and the next night the Confederate steamer Page slipped out of Quantico Creek unmolested. The Yankee, Resolute and Reliance are now stationed at Stump Neck to watch her movemeénts, how- ever, and keep her within the limits of her present contracted cruising ground. ‘There are now, therefore, no Union wvessels between Matthias and Ship- ping Points, but above and below this stretch of water there are a number of United States war vessels, BAB-O malies - - THE- EVENING STAR.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. Robert Shivers was on the jury that brought in a verdict in favor of Johnson in_the case of Johnson vs. Miller. While on his way home from court, Shivers was suddeniy accosted by Miller, the defeated party, and questioned threateningly about the jury's verdict. Shivers tried to appease the angered litigant, but his efforts were in vain, for Miller proceeded to avenge his loss by pummeling the bewildered juror. Shivers, on the following day, in- formed the court about the affair, and a warrant was issued for Miller charg- ing him with contempt of court. Miller contended that he had not been in contempt and that Shivers’ only remedy was to prosecute him for assault. The court, however, found him guilty of contempt and fined him $100, stat- ing: busing a juror for the verdict he has rendered tends to impede the pro- ceedings of the court and to impair its respect and authority.

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX- DE MISS DIX: I am a married woman with two children, have a good fome and a good husband and was very happy until a short time ago, when I found out that my husband was paying attention to a little married flirt in our town. He has taken her riding at night and given her boxes of candy, and has been seen sitting in the store talking to her instead of being in his own office. I taxed my husband with it and he said that he took her riding because she was so cute, and that her own husbanid was too busy to take her out. This woman has broken up several homes, for tife men all seem to fall for her, although they all know that her husband is a fine man who works himself to death to give her the money to buy clothes in which to vamp other men, and they know, too, that she neglects her little children, who run the streets. ‘What must I do? Shall I leave my husband? A MISERABLE WIFE. Answer: Of course, you mustn’t leave your husband merely because he has become entangled in a silly flirtation. It's just a brainstorm that will pass if you will give it time. Many men, along toward middle life, are afflicted with a femporary mental eclipse. They have the hallucination that they are tired of their wives and children, of domesticity and decent living, and that they have fallen in love with some flapper. But it doesn't last. After a bit the man comes to his senses, and he is ashamed and repentant, and glad enough to come back home to his wife and thereafter be as domestic as the house cat. The whole episode may be written down in the comic annals of the family history, unless the wife has been as foolish ‘as he has and has broken up her home and made a tragedy of it. For we are talking of mere flirtation now. That is bad enough, of course, and it naturally tortures the wife with jealousy, but if she is wise she laughs at it and réfuses to take it serlously. She doesn’t wreck her whole life over it. It's pretty hard to see anything humorous in your husband making a ‘fool of hlmul? and falling for the wiles of a cheap little vamp, who flatters him and makes eyes at him while she digs her predatory little fingers into his pocket- book, but it is one of the occasions upon which a woman must either laugh or cry, and the wise wife is the one who doesn't cry or nag or reproach her husband or point out his duty to him. Most wives, when they find they have a rival, surrender without. firing a single gun. They simply pack T their doll rags and quit without making an effort to hold their own, thus leaving the fleld clear for the enemy. They should have more spunk and backbone. Instead of running up the white flag, tgfiydrshould dig in and fight to the last ditch for their own sakes and their children’s. After all, the wife has a great advantage merely in being a wife. A first love, a first romance, never wholly dies. And all the forces of society and convention and property rights are fighting at the wife’s back. And a wife knows her husband’s weaknesses and how to work him as no other woman ever can, 50 nine times out of ten she can outgeneral the other woman if only she has the grit to carry on. > So, my dear lady, if you want your husband, fight for him. Begin by cutting the ground from under his fcet by writing to the lady’s husband. Tell him that your husband feels called upon to entertain his wife because he neglects her, and that you think he had better look after his own fences a little. ’x'_hen decoy the woman's poor little neglected children across your hus- band's vision and get your friends to turn upon him a barrage of ridicule for being simple enough to be taken in by a cheap little man-chaser. But don't give up your husband and your home and your living because your husband makes a few sweet eyes at another woman. DOROTHY DIX. e s EAR DOROTHY DIX: Should a man tell his real financial condition before marriage to the girl he desires to make his wife? PERPLEXED ED. Answesz of cougse he should. There can be no question about that. Every woman has a right to know before marriage exactly how much money a man makes and what his prospects are for the future. Then she can take him or leave him, but at any rate she knows just what she will have to live upon, and that will save both of them many stormy scenes and bitter quarrels. For, s?nnge as it may seem, many men deceive girls on this point and lead them to think that they are far better off than they are. The girl marries thinking she is going into a life of ease, and that she will be able to have the luxuries she craves. Then, when she finds out the truth, as she is bound to do almost_immediately, and finds that they have not even enough to live decently in the humblest way, she naturally feels that her husband has played a dastardly trick on her. \ A wife's well-being is bound up in her husband's. If he is poor, the hardest part of poverty falls upon her, for she must do the contriving to feed and clothe a family, and hers is the keenest anxiety for the future, for she must depend upon her husband's efforts instead of her own. If this is to be her lot in life, it is certainly only honorable:of a man to warn her in time and not commit her to it blindly. . No woman who loves a man will fear to face poverty at his side, but nothing would kill her love sooner than for him to inveigle her into a life of hardship under false pretense. P e DOROTHY DIX. . DEAR MISS DIX: My husband is a fine man and he treats me with kindness and consideration, but he is very careless about his appearance. He wears soiled linen, won't shave, won't bathe, won’t care for his nails; in short, is utterly slovenly. I feel he should be neat and clean if only for the sake of his busi- ness. I have tried appealing to his vanity, coaxing, getting angry and nagging, but nothing does any good. How can he be cured? A READER. Answer: Slovenliness is nothing but the ultimate expression of laziness. Your husband neglects the care of his person because he is too indolent and shiftless to make the effort to keep clean. And I fear laziness is an_ incurable vice. Certainly a slouchy, slovenly man has small chance in business these days, and he would probably brace up and wash up if a few of his customers would tellLhim that théy would not deal with him unless he did. As far as the clothes are concerned, you can manage by following the example of & woman in a plight similar to yours. Every night when her husband went. to bed she removed' all the clothes that he had worn and put fresh linen and.a newly pressed suit and freshly polished shoes in their stead. It being no more trouble to put on the new clothes than the soiled ones, the lazy man donned the glad raiment and was well dressed. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1928.)

Uranus is in sinister mood, how- ever. Under this sway music should benefit greatlv and the stars are read as presaging a rarely successful opera season. It is an auspicious sway for women- and their artistic ambitions. Actresses should benefit and new stars are fore- told. Love affairs again come under a sway, making for serious wooings in contrast to the Summer’s flirtations. This is a favorable rule under which to enter into engagements to marry. Under this rule entertainments of every sort are likely to be successful, for the vibrations are supposed to im- part gayety and high spirits. There is a sinister sign supposed to indicate much muddled thinking and distorted logic regarding many things, including edu- cation and public affairs. There is a good sign for the young in which are forecast many playgrounds and other s(;ulrces of right training for boys and girls. As the younger generation matures it will be apparent that super men and super women have been preparing for the work of the world, the seers prophesy. This is not an ially favorable day for aviation and it may be wise to defer hazardous starts. Once more food is to be much discussed, for the stars presage a decided rise in prices. The women who use their varied knowledge in managing home affairs will benefit greatly at this time, when great events are near. Astrologers foretell a new world spasm that will be of moment to dwellers evervwhere on the globe, but they are vague in outlining it. Persons whose birth date it fs have the augury of a happy year that bring many pleasant surprises. They should be aware of intrigues and flirtations. Children born on this day are likely to be successful all through life. The subjects of this sign often have won- derful persuasive powers and are able to become leaders in big enterprises. These subjects of Scorpio often are ex- ceedingly fickle.

Investigate if you wou'd know ‘Why this is thus and t] It was the most lonesome part of the Green Forest. Peter Rabbit seldom went there. He was there now simply be- cause he had been trying to take a short cut to another part of the Green Forest. There was a strong odor in the air. Peter didn’t have to be told what that odor was. It was the odor that only Jimmy Skunk can produce from that little scent-gun of his. And because Peter could smell that odor so strong he suspected that Jimmy or one of his family had been attacked some- where around there. Now, Peter felt nervous all the time. Any one who would attack a member of Jimmy Skunk’s family would not hesi- tate to attack a plump rabbit. So Peter remembered what his eyes were for and what his ears were for what his nose was for, and he used all three to the best of his ability. But his eyes saw no one and his ears heard no one and his nose—well, his nose was_just filled with the odor of Skunk. Péter hopped about cautiously, always ready to run at the slightest hint of danger. But all his hopping about discovered nothing. Peter sat down under a hem- lock tree to study and think. Presently it came to him that that odor was the strongest when he was in a certain place where the wind blew in his face. Therefore, it must be coming “I'VE GONE_PAST,” THOUGHT PETER. from the direction from which the wind was toming. He hopped over to that guticuhr place. . Sure enough, the wind lew in his face and the odor of Skunk was stronger than ever. Peter hopped forward just a little way and found smell as strong as ever and perhaps a little bit stronger. He did the same thing again with the same result. A third time the result was the same. But the fourth time, although the wind was still blowing in his face, he got only a faint scent. “I've gone past,” thought Peter. “I must have gone past. Yt anything to indical back and look again. So Peter went back a little way. Then' he turned so that the wind blew in his face and once more the odor of Skunk was very, very strong. Now, it chanced that Peter happened to look up just then. What he saw caused him to duck for cover without waiting for a second look. Up in a certain tall tree sat Hooty the Owl taking a nap. Peter re- membered then that this was where Hooty the Owl nested in the Winter and early Spring. 3 “Why didn't I think of it before?” ex- claimed Peter. “It was Hooty!- Of course it was Hooty! He was the one who tried to _cat Jim Skunk, Jimmy must have thrown some of his perfume at him and that is why it smells so strong ‘here. No one but Hooty .could stand it, but he doesn't seem to mind.
