Long after his father and mouher retired Little Boy Blue would sit up and play the latest modern selec- tions. The neighbors in the same apart- ment building were cranks and objected to the nocturnal wails of the instru- ment, with the result that the landlord wrote a most unusually impudent letter to Boy Blue's father . Well, for several weeks the father and the landlord wrote each other notes, HIS YELLOW TRANSPARENT VEL- VET BLOUSE MADE WITHOUT | SLEEVES, WITH SHIRRING AT | THE WAIST, IS WORN WITH A BROWN VELVET TWO - PIECE‘ | SUIT. ery wrinkle of perplexity appeared in | the saleswoman’s brow and she made | no move to show me what I wanted, | “you know—one of the new evening blouses.” 7 ‘,, She turned to an older woman in the | department—possibly the buyer. “This | lady wants to see an ‘evening blouse.’ Do _vou know what she means?” | The second woman shook her head. | eyeing me critically, and the first girl | shook her head in unison.

Mrs. A—The blood vessels in the noses of children are quite near the surface in the mucous membrane and the consequence is that the bloody noses are frequent occurrences. If they are more than ordinarily frequent or seem to arise without adequate cause, you should take your child to a children’s specialist or a clinic for a thorough check-up, for they may arise from some constitutional disease or lo- cal ulcers. Mention the fact that he | has frequent nose bleeds, so he can | be given an examination of the nose. | Don't forget that children not in- | frequently find it interesting to use the | nose and ears for hiding places for pebbles and other small articles.

A college woman was recently de- crying the use of Mother Goose books for chi'dren. “Most of it is stuff and nonsense,” she complained. “Even small children do not care for it.” (As a matter of fact Mother Goose is still one of the bes: sellers.) While not edmitting the correctness of her observation it might be suggest- od that the stories be embellished with more facts.

When- | Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. November 20, 1855.—An ordinance | was enacted by the City Council today | | directing that the ecity printing !hlll; | hereafter be given to the Daily American | Organ, publisned in the interest of the Know Nothing party, which made a | | clean sweep of the local offices in the | | recent election. | The first issue of the American Organ appeared November 13 last year. The procecedings of the City Council have been printed in the National Intelli- gencer for more than 50 years, but are now to appear in the Know Nothing newspaper and to be paid for, accord- | ing to the established practice, out of the city treasury. Never before has the National Intelli- | gencer felt the financial effects of a | political defeat in its local relations. Many persons regard the action of the council today as evidence that the busi- ness prestige of this long-established | newspaper has at last begun to melt | |away. Before the Daily American Ornn; | began publication the National Intelli- | gencer lost its position as the naowspaper | of largest circulation in the National | Capital. The Know Nothing party carried the | city elections last year, when Mayor John W. Maury, Democrat, was de- feated and John T. Powers was chosen mayor. Mr. Powers is a one-time Whig | and was formerly publisher of a daily | newspaper called the Whig Standard. He was selected by Congress in 1852 as the first superintendent of public print- | ing. For many years he had been at | the head of a book and job prlnfing; | After Election | = - $ The smoke of battle clears away: we survived the deadly fray, and we | . 28 wight to wight. “Whatever is is doubtless right.” So let the good | old flag be waved: our famed palladiums ' | are saved: the bulwarks of our liberties | | still stand triumphant in the breeze. | | The future seems so bright and fine, | 50 many blessings are in line that w< | | should all be wildly bent on cheering |our great Government. The man who works and saves his coin may buy the }ste:k called tenderloin, may order oys- | ters, game and veal, and call for pie at every meal. The man ambitious to ad- vance will find himself denied no chance; if he gets down, with pep, to tacks, and plies his hammer, saw or ax, as though he meant to earn his wage, the boss, who is a wise old sage, will watch his curves and say, “Ods bones, there is no rust on Jasper Jones. I see I'll have to raise his pay, or he will be enticed away.” The man who squarely plays the game will find he has a pleasant fame. He keeps his word, he pays his bill exactly when he says he will, and life's made easy for the man who follows up this honest plan. We have elected able men who've pledged themselves, with voice and pen, to give us all the chance we n to pian and labor and succeed. But if we do not plan and work, dark perils in the future lurk; if we just loaf and fool away the golden moments of the day, the statesmen in exalted place won't rescue us from dire disgrace.
