Washington Wayside Random Observati ons of Interesting Events and Things. DOG AND TAIL TALE. OU just can't kecp the name 5/ of Buddy Fuss out of the ‘Wayside coluron. Buddy, if you don't recall, 1s the 12-year-old son of Carl R. Fuss of Lyon Village, Va., who broke into print about a month ago in connec- tion with a snake story. ‘The latest episode in Buddy’s rather exciting life does not involve the snake, but his tiny toy bull pup, Butch. As master of the dog he re- luctantly assumes responsibility for the misdeeds of the animal. And that’s one reason he says his face wlil turn red every time he sees his music teacher. It seems that Buddy was taking & lesson the other day. Both he and his teacher were engrossed in a rather difficult etude. Buddy did not see Butch when he jumped into a nearby chair and grabbed his teacher’s fur meckpiece. Neither did the teacher. But when the lesson was over, Bud- dy and the teacher discovered about the same time that Butch had the tall of that fur piece in his mouth. ‘The remainder of it was under the piano stool. * % ok % LAZY LATIN. Glimpsed at the Washington- Mezican game Friday was a lack- adaisical Latin combining com- fort with patriotism. Sitting in the front row of an upper boz, he was surrounded by three com- patriots who were constantly on their feet cheering and encourag- ing the Mezicans with shouts of “Viva la Mezico.” The lazy one merely sat with feet flapping over the rail and “showed his colors.” Striped an inch wide, his socks displayed the colors of the Mezican flag—green, red and white. TOO PALIFIC. ‘As AN advance Christmas prasenc,‘ for the whole family, a Wash- ington man recently purchased a new refrigerator. His wife thought she would test 1t out for a few days with nothing in | j it but ice cubes before filling it up with various kinds of food. This she did with wonderful success. Bhe finally became alarmed and tele- phoned to the refrigerator office man- ager and pleaded for help. “I have so many ice cubes in my “But,” she protested, “the teacher says that's vulgar and shows that you're just ‘common.’ " H! ‘WAS just a forlorn-looking old colored man standing on the corner. His eyes were downcast, seeming to be fascinated by ragged holes in his shoes. He was bare- headed, but a long, ragged overcoat hung in lugubrious folds from his scrawny shoulders. Yet the crowds of early Christmas shoppers stopped and stared. His one big attraction was a police whistle which he blew intermittently. With each blast of the whistle he changed the flow of trafic at Thir- teenth and F streets. Nobody seemed to mind except one cab driver, who blocked traffic on busy F street to watch the waving hand of the inno- cent traffic director. Mrs. Kleeman Guest At Democratic Club Mrs. Rita Halle Kleeman of New York, author of “Gracious Lady,” re- cently published official biography of Mrs. James Roosevelt, the President’s| mother, was guest speaker at'today’s| weekly forum luncheon of the Woman’s | National Democratic Club in the club| house on New Hampshire avenue.

C. 17 years | ago, is all a-dither these days, won- dering whether saying “yes” about her | | Past couldn't have meant a glamorous | Future. | The opportunity occurred the other day, when an oldish man, handsome and well dressed, embraced Beulsh F—— as she was leaving her residence | | &t 900 Nineteenth street northwest. “Beulah, my niece,” he exclaimed. “At last I have found you!” Beulah stepped back. “Now see here, don’t you kiss me,” she expostulated. “I don’t know you and never had an Uncle George.” ‘That was the name he gave. “Uncle George” insisted she was || the niece he had been searching for since Wilson's administration. She was to have received through him 8 considerable portion of her grand- mother’s estate. Couldn't she possibly remember her dead father’s brother, George? Beulah couldn’t. . . . But now she spends her leisure hours thinking bacl | i over her childhood. Was there an Uncle George or wasn’t there? * x * % NO TIPICA. A local music lover, who really should have known better, missed one the other day. She was taking a great deal of interest in the va- rious instruments brought here by the Merican Tipica Orchestra. She examined this one and that one curiously, asking the name of each and how it was played. Finally, she turned to Maestro Lerdo de Tejada and sprung this teaser on him. “But please tell me,” she said, “which one is @ Tipica?” Invites You to View Her Mural “A Pageant of Beauty” On display at the Little Theatre of Frank R.
