Washington Wayside Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. CELEBRITY. INAH may never win 8 prize at & show. Her ancestry is doubtful. Though her mother is a full-fluffed Persian, her father, rumor hath’it, was just & gay boulevardier. But Dinah, none the less, is Washington's most feted cat. She goes to all the night clubs, all the cocktail rooms, and many parties are given in her honor. Last Thursday evening she was the honor guest at & party at the Carlton, where a new cocktail, “Dinah special, was made and named for her—you essed it, pure cream., 'uWhenever she appears at the Shore- ham Night Club, which is often, Bar- ney, the orchestra leader, strikes up the tune, “Dinah,” in her honor. She has her own wardrobe of hand- made party clothes for all occasions shorter. More drivers were getting wise. e officer was mildly exasperated. He ‘couldn’t order them to move on, for they still were on the move. And he couldn’t pass out tickets, for none of the cars was parked as yet. So the procession continued to make the circuit of the block until 9:22. At last, just plain persistence won. “Oh, all right,” the officer called to the nearest driver. “Go ahead and park if you must; you can have the extra minutes today, I can’t stay here all day.” And off he went, with a burst from his engine, as cars in the procession moved into the coveted parking spaces, to idle there awhile before being locked up for the day. * X x X SEASONAL SALUTE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O. WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1935 In confirmation of this supposition, Garfinckel's department store has moved its deck chairs, sun shades and luncheon tables out on their spacious roof. At noon time, hard-working newsmen in the National Press Build- ing may watch the smart salcsgirls lounging around this imitation Lido deck while polishing off their lunches. And during business hours an ex- ecutive occasionally slips out to dictate & few letters under the warm Spring sun. * K K K CURBSTONE ANGLER. 'OU'D have thought they were giving away gold pieces to see that crowd on F street. But when you shouldered your way through the jostling mob & stranger sight awaited you. She was young and she was pretty and she was sitting on the curbstone. In her hands she held a fishing pole from which a line dangled into the gutter, where a tiny wooden fish seemed totally disinterested in the proffered bait. Beside her was a jar of water in which several live gold fish besported themselves. “How's the fishin’, girlie?” some one blurted out. Ah, thought we, an item for the| being initiated into? She would not. “I'm getting publicity enough,” she said, with a glare at the crowd. AN ABATTOIR BY ANY NAME. *| HAT ain’t no slaughter house, Iriends, that's an abattoir.” This is the answer one mem- ber of the Alexandria City Council made to foes of the proposal to estab- lish a slaughter house in the nearby Virginia city. Much grieved at “mis- representation” of the project, the councilman appeared at a meeting a few nights ago to voice the above ex- planation. He neglected to expand on it, however. * % ¥ A Limit to Boldness. FEW harassed landlords and real estate owners made bold to at- tend the mass meeting of indig- nant rent payers recently at the new Government Auditorium. Their boldness, however, did not ex- tend to a point where they dared stand when the chairman of the| meeting called for votes in opposition to rent-control legislation.

JOB With his eyes sparkling and a smile on his face, Mike Sullivan, 64, who says he has been a soldier, sailor, singer, composer and philosopher, ar- rived here yesterday seeking a job with the Civilian Conservation Corps. Last year he was refused because of his age, but he has decided on another try.

PR MORNING PARADE. | ES, there was that same line of i cars making the round of the block with all the speed of a' terrapin. These drivers were getting too clever for any use. It had hap- pened the day before and the day| before that. It was getting to be a regular thing. ; But duty is duty, so the motor cycle | officer assigned to see that cars did | not park there until the mystic hour | of 9:30 am. joined in the procession. It was 9:05. The line ‘“crawled” around the block a half dozen times, but the procession grew longer, not JACKETS.,. ..., c.noe: have t00 many of these casual swagger jackets.
