' WOMAN'S PAGE. The Sidewalks of Washington BY THORNTON FISHER. The four of them sat in the lobby of & downtown hotel. They were ob- viously tired and visibly wilted. Two small children sat between the mother and father, one of them looking as if he were about to break out into a cry of protest against this business of sightseeing. Mother—No, Allen, I'm not going to move a step from here. We'll visit the library the next time we come to Wash- ington. Eddie, stop that squirming and twisting. We're going to take the train soon and go home. ’ Father—We ought to see Ford's Theater b-fore we go. The book says it’s on Tenih street. Mother—What's the use of seeing a theater. It's probably no better than our new Elite on Main street. Father-—But this is the Henry Ford —mno, I'm wrong. I'm wrong. This is the theater in which President Lincoln was shot. Little Eddie —TI wanna go home, I do. Mother — We're going home soon, dear. Your father seems to think he must see every- thing in one day just because he got excursion tick- ets. Father — Well, the sights of the Nation's Capital will instill patriotism in_the boys. Mother—I don't want them to grow up to be soldiers. Father — Who said anything about them being soldiers? You don’t have to be a soldier to be patriotic. Eddie, Jock at the big soldier coming in the door there, carrying his suit case. Don't he look grand? Mother—He's not a soldier. That's the door man. Eddie—I wanna go home. Father—The book says we ought to see the Ellipse. Mother—I don’t care for them. The last time I saw an eclipse of the moon, I wasn't impressed. Father—We ought to see the State, War and Navy Building. Mother—I don't want to see any battleships. Little Eddie—I wanna see cowboys. Mother—Allen, I'm nearly suffocated. Get me a glass of water. Eddie, take your feet off this chair. Robert, if you don't stop whining I'll slap you. Father—We've got two fllms left in the camera. We ought to finish up the roll. SPRINGTIME BY D. C. PEATTIE. Every true Nature lover can remem- ber his first experience in all of Na- ture’s brightest manifestations. The ornithologist begins to love birds from his earlest childhood; he will remem- ber his first eagle, his first whippoor- will, his first white-throat sparrow’s song or meadowlark as well as his first party with ice cream or the first Halloween when he rang people’s door- bells or the first time he thought he fell in love. And every Spring there comes back to me my earliest recollection of the chorus of birds’ voices and the luscious way that I became attentive to it and familiar with it. Listening to that chorus now, just at this season, the whole scene comes back to me with laughable vividness. And here’s the secret: I did my first ornithological work in church! My protest that I did not want to go to Sunday school ended in my be- ing taken to church—where nobody got any prizes and I was the only child and had to sit very still. I am not sure that I was taken to church every Sun- day. Looking back on it now, it seems quite certain that we only went on beautiful Spring mornings, just when it would have been nicest to be play- ing outside. But this I know—that I heard no human creature sermonizing from the pulgit, but only the sound of bird voices through the newly opened church windows. Mother—I won't move out of here until we take the train. Eddie—I wanna pm of peanuts. Father—I should you'd want the children to see the public buildings. Mother—I'm dizzy already looking at public buildings. - “Egdle—l'm hungry. I wanna sam’- ch. Mother—Allen, open that parcel and give the children a sandwich. What time does the train leave for home? Father—Not for three hours, and I'm not going to sit in this hotel lobby any longer and waste time. Suppose the folks at home ask you if you saw the President and the Washington Monument, what are you going to say? They'll wonder if you saw anything. Mother—Eddie, stop dropping those crumbs on the floor. your hat. Father—Eddie, wouldn't you and Robert like to see the Government Printing Office? Big building. Ooh, 50 big and nice and everything. Eddie—I wanna see printin’ office. Robert—I wanna see bye-bye-go home-bye-bye. Father—I spent $12.75 to come here today and this is what I get for my trouble. Mother—You and Eddie go and see the Printing office and Il wait here with Robbie. until you come back. Father—We'll do nothing _of the sort. I should think you would want to see the Printing Office. Eddie—I wanna i see Printin’ Office, too. Robert—I wanna g0 bye-bye. Mother — Eddie, take your feet off my dress. It looks bad enough as it is. Robbie, stop lolling all over the gentleman next to Now, there goes you. Father—We haven't seen the Treas- ury Building. I think the children ought to see it. Mother—All right, you take the chil- dren. It'll give me a chance to rest for awhile. Eddie—I don’t wanna see Treas'ry. I wanna see Printin’ Office, Mother—For _goodness _sakes, take him to see the Printing Office, Allen. Father—It says in the book that it's closed on Sunday. Mother—Well, that’s & help. Is it near train time, yet? Eddie—I wanna see Printin’ Office. Father—I's glad you can’t see it now. I'm glad you've ruined my day. I'm glad—oh, I'm glad—well, what am I glad about? Get your things and let's 80 to the station. And o they had seen Washington. Lessons in English BY W. L. GORDON.

She lived in Ohio with their only daughter and every little while appeared here and started a new suit of some kind against him. And in addition she made the most terrible charges against him, which the neighbors repeated, though they them- selves knew nothing against the man. George Bennett has never been a burden to any one. Somehow he' has managed to get along. I frequently met him hobbling to and from the shop where he worked at his trade. I in- quired among his associates and they all spoke well of him. They gave him work when he was able to do it and said he was a good workman. For two or three years he had been nflnl rapidly and occasionally had been ill. His wife died a year ago, and old Geor? had had peace since then, but with 1t he had iliness, old age and pov- mlie did not want for anything during his last iliness.

She had been hearing from her mother that he was rich and would do nothing for them because of meanness. His daughter was not well off herself, but she did a great deal to make her father more comfortable. And after she went away a number of us sent him all sorts of things and sald they came from his daughter Mary. He_had almost become blind lately, and I pretended to read letters to him from his daughter inclosing money in my care and making suggestions for his comfort. ‘The neighbor men did it, but old George will never know. And the kindness of his daughter Mary always pleased him. The women said they supposed the old wretch should be taken care of in spite of his mean- ness, but the men contributed without comment of any kind, except that they had known him many years and knew no harm in him.

First, Bond Bread upset things by making good a promise to housewives to use only the purest and finest materials. I've sold Bond since it came into this market. I have never had a customer question the bond of purity printed on the wrapper of each loaf. Keeping that pledge to the housewives, Bond Bakers got others to thinking that purity in bread was mighty important. Secondly, Bond Bakers’ fresh-from-the- oven delivery helped grocers overcome the housewives’ feeling against “store bread.” When women learned that fresh bread was to be had so easily, they changed their ideas about home-baking, with its worries and many upsets. As a grocer who believes in real service to customers, I appreciate what these things have meant to me and my customers. But these are only two reasons why I recom- mend Bond Bread. The big reason is that I know customers will like it MAX C. RUBIN {Sigued) After all— there is no bread like N THE midst of play, a heart-rending cry!
