REAL ESTATE. WUMAN INDORSED FOR JUDGESHIP: Soclety of Natives Favors Miss Taggart for Next' Juvenile Court Place. Miss Etta L. attorney, indorsed for juaxe ot the juvenfla court of the District when a vacancy occurs, at & meeting of the Society ot Natives of the District of Columbia last night at the Was Club. The resolution was offered by Miss Margaret Forbes, preceded by & brief speech highly praising Miss Taggart, both as an attorney and as an active member of the society. The resolu- tion was seconded by John A. Saul fl unanimously adopted by the so- e Pred A. Emery, president of the so- clety, in commenting favorably upon the resolution, stated that it seemed lately to be the practice to appoint to tions in the District, persofis who d come from outside this city. James F. Duhamel, historian of the society, gave an entertaining review of the history of markets in Washington. He_traced especially the development of Eastern Market, Western Market and Center Market. Old Center Market, he said, had been destroyed completely by fire in 1870, but had been rebuilt. In the early days, Mr. Duhamel re- called that it was customary for promi- nent Federal officials, even presidents, and , justices of the Supreme Court to g0 to marke: and carry home food for the next day. The markets, he said, were social centers of much attraction. ‘Was] ton Topham told of seeing the fire that burned old Center Mar- ket, and related part of the history of the market which he said e had compiled for the Columbia Historical Society. Center Market lasted, he said, for 129 years, having started in 1801. He characterized it as the “oldest, and most continuous business enterprise in the city.” The entertainment of the evening, under direction of Mrs. Ella C. Robin- son, who was accom| t for two of numbers, included a play- iss Lila Hicks and Jordan Bentley es the cast; and a musical glmznm presented by Mrs. Pearl auer, pianist; Miss Caroline S. S. rano; Miss Lena Parks, 0 . Willlam T. Reed, con- tralto: and Fritz Hauer, vhunifl.. New members elected were: Willi Alexander Miller, Dr. R. G. Efichll'd- son and Mrs. Zaidee Bullas.
