'y may be of the pull-on sort with the upper part drawn over the cuff of the sleeve or they may be of the new narrow- cuffed sort—with the cuff tucked under the sleeve cuff and turned down over the wrist. Simple pull-on gloves of fine kid— white or tinted—may be worn with the long-sleeved afternoon dress, while with the short-sleeved afternoon dress one may wear gloves long enough to come to the elbow or just over wrist— and for evening long gloves are worn drawn up toward the elbow or extend- ing well over the elbow.

March 26, 1858.—Another . bloody rlot occurred in the Northern iberties tonight. -Guns and pistols were freely used and it was not the fault of the belligerents that many peacefully in- clined residents of Washington, who took no part in the affair, were not murdered in their homes. The trouble started soon after a fire broke out in Shreve's stable on M street between Sixth and - Seventh streets northwest about 9 pm. The Northern _Liberties Fire Co. was the first_on the ground and extinguished the flames. About this time, and after some of the members of this fire company had left the scene and others were prepar- ing to go, the Perseverance Reel passed up Seventh street and was followed about 10 minutes later by a reel called the Good Will, having three bells at- tached to it. Ths latter reel was drawn by a large party of men, and a fight started just as they arrived opposite the Northern Liberties Market, at Sev- enth and K streets, on the public square “|on which also is located the Northern Liberties Engine House, at Eighth and K _streets. ‘Who began the fight no one seems to know for certain. Many shots were fired from pistols and muskets—some say as many as 150 shots altogether. All parties to the fight seemed to have been armed by prearrangement. It is rumored tonight that several persons have been killed, but this is not verified. It is known, however, that the follow- ing have been wounded: Police Officer Carter, with buckshot in the left leg, seriously; Luckett, shot with musket ball in left knee, dangerously; Steele, struck on head with stone; Henry Du- bant, hit by four buckshot and dan- gerously wounded: James Grady, shot about the groin; Dr. Perkinson of Bal- timore, head grazed by a ball passed through the rim of his ha ‘Two distinterested informants say that the first shot was fired by the man who held the lead rope of the Good Will Reel. Many shots came from the direction of a tavern opposite the Northern Liberties Market house. An- other observer says the Good Will boys began the fight by shouting, “Oh, you swipers!” Others say Northern Liberty boys, se- creted in the market house, began the shootin, g. The whole affair had the appearance of a pitched battle, for which both sides had come prepared. The Good Will Reel was formerly known as the “State’s Hose.” ‘The police were utterly unable to quell the rioters, and are said to have joined in the shooting. NANCY PAGE Restfulness Comes With Simple Furniture. -BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Judith Anderson had just come to live with some new in-laws. She had met her husband in a distant town. ‘They were settled in their new home when business sent him back to the small town in which he had been brought up. There was no house to be obtained, so rforce the newlyweds went to live with Bert’s mother. Poor Judith was put to it. She had taken a course in interior decorating and had had a darling little apartment. She looked around her new home with tears. She wondered whether her mother-in-law would let her make any changes. Strange to say, her mother- in-law did just that. “I am glad you have come, my dear,” she said one day shortly after the ar- rival of the pair. “I wonder whether you will help me do over part of the t‘::uu.“nen tells me you know just how do it.” Nancy heard all about the metamor- phosis the next time she had a letter “I took the floor lamp, it was of bro- caded velvet, with much fringe. In its place we put a simple shade of heavy paper, with a striking but simple de- s ign. “The fussy little pillows that cluttered the good davenport were banished. Two dignified, but eminently usable, pillows took their places. Then we removed the tiny picture that hung in little sisterly step fashion beside the other two. I re- hung the smaller one of the two that were left so that it was on a line with the large one. And, lo, an uneasy cor- ner in the room now possesses poise, charm and distinction!

MODEST “IT'S GETTING RATHER COOL. YOU D. C., WEDNESDAY. MAIDENS TWO HAD BETTER COME IN NOW.” SPRINGTIME. BY D. C. PEATTIE. If rarity means anything (and to the | antique collectors it seems to mean e\'el’ythlng), then the lover of wildflow- ers will delight to go afield in search of the first wildflower of Spring that can really be called rare. For most of the little flowery faces that first show themselves—bloodraot and anem- one, Spring beauty and skunk-cabbage —are common enough. But the moss- | pink is less common in the woods than | in the gardens; the toothwort, with | its dainty leaves and its drooping flow- ers washed with a faintest purple, is almost as hard to find, and the quaint little pennywort, along the rills, under- neath the high woods is a minute bit of beauty unknown to most. ‘Truly rare, perhaps, indeed the only early Spring flower of the District that can be so called, is the yellow cory- dalis, member of the jocund family of the Dutchman’s breeches. Only in the rich woods along the Potomac will you find it, and though the books say that it ranges widely, I have looked for it in many States in vain. Only here have I ever found this delectable small flow- er, with its pale, yellow flowers bearing their fringed crests, its ferny leaves of a strange blue-green. It is already now in bloom, two weeks ahead of its cous- ins, the Dutchman's breeches and squirrel corn. —_— Hydroelectric installations projected in Canada for the next three years total 1,600,000 horsepower. MARCH 26, 1930. Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. Few things are so calculated to start the day out htly as a letter pat- terned on the following. No one can expect that all mothers will have such outstanding success, but we are happy to hear of those who do. “Your feeding leaflet has heen a won- derful help to me,” writes Mrs. W. K. B., “and it is almost beyond repair from so much handling. My 2-year-old has never had a sick day and neither has his 18-months-old brother. I want to thank you for your share in it, Now I am wondering if this will help you. “So many mothers complain of the difficulty in getting their first babies to play alone. I had a terrible time until we built a very inexpensive fence of lath and put in a sand pile. We fenced in an area about 30 feet square (finding out afterward we need not | have fenced so much) and used for that three bundles of lath and 2-by-4s for posts. The total lumber bill was about $7. We found this muech more durable than chiéken wire would have been, which was what we first con- sidered. Two 7-foot-1-by-4 boards in one corner were enough to hold a load of sand, which cost $2. We used a plece of canvas over one side instead of the shade tree which we didn't have. “Even then the little boy was lone- some until I provided him with a big pail of water besides his coffee cans, spoons, shovels, and so forth. “Of course, he was a sight each noon, wet and sandy, and instead of taking him in the clean bath room and over the clean kitchen floor I gave him @ bath in a tub we have in the garage. It was an easy thing to do—just to slip off his one garment and give him a quick shower, and he loved it. “It is a shame to keep children so clean that they can never play hap- pily, and I can remember that my hap- p:est recollections were of making mud pies.” We have a leaflet on outdoor play equipment which gives full directions, material and approximate costs for fix- ing a back yard play yard, sand pile horizontal bars and flying rings. This may be obtained (for use by any ama- teur carpenter) by sending the usual self-addressed, stamped envelope with your request. It, too, suggests laths for the uprights of the yard. The sand best liked by children is called “kid sand” and costs just a trifle more than ordi- nary sand, which 1§ not so fine and clean. & None of us who remember sand | piles but will remember the absolute |Joy of making things with wet sand, | which is part of its legitimate use. In | those days we were always warned not to sit on it, but we aren’t so scared of a little hot dampness these days. Most mothers could manage a tub in. the basement or the garage or the back yard, and the quick shower is fine. Let the children enjoy their sandpile to| the utmost. FEATUR A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. FROM the banks of the Rapidan comes new evidence of man's swift rise to fame—this time in the person of Ray Burraker, the 12-year-old moun- tain lad who gave a m to President of the United States. ‘This alert, fear- less young chap, who wears “store- bought” clothes and a bow tie since his widely heralded | be visit to President Hoover’s fishing camp that Sunday morning, is mnot awed one whit by the place he has attained. A source of in- come for the young mountaineer was a broken gate at the entrance of the school which President Hoover built for the mountain children. ‘The contractor who built the school was in the habit of giving Ray a nickel for holding the gate open for him &ach day. When newspaper men, photog- raphers and others visited the school, Ray exacted a toll of 5 cents. However, the gate has been repaired now and this source of income is lost to him. He talks to newsp~per men with an amazing ease and fearlessness.

Ray evidently inherits much of his astuteness from 69-year-old Gi Burraker. Grandpa admitted to news- paper men, the day the school opened, that he didn’t come up the mountain for the school opening particularly. “I thought President Hoover would here,” he said, “and I wanted to have a few words with g Grandpa also said the school was a good idea “if it is run right.” He was asked what he meant by the e: “run right” Grandpa looked ques- tioners straight in the eye, and replied: “Aw, you know what I mean—-" George Burraker, Ray’s _younger brother, 9 years old, is overshadowed by the more famous member of the family, but is none the less interesting.
