Curtains or screens at least glvo the

Tablecloths should be discarded for
he summer bungalow season. Dollies
can bo used for the table with Just
as good results, If not better. Dollies
may bu mndes of flno roller toweling,
white or the natural tint, with a little
'olored edge. Paper dollies and cen
terpieces are enslly managed, being
especially suitable for bungalow pur
poses. Plated silver Is best, and It Is a good
plan to have as little of that as Is
absolutely necessary. The bungalow
Is a method of simple living for tho
warm summer months, and this Idea
should be fully carried out in the dining-room.
Even the food should bo
blmplllled to a certain extent.
It Is a wise plan to furnish the bun

low life resembles life In a camp. In
most instances tho living-room and

"Not Jim!" Mr. J. declared emphat
ically. "He's on the Job all the time
ho represents hli people and he
works like a plough-horsa! I know
he's at tho Capitol but 1 meant how
do I reach his commttteo room?"
The clerk's mouth opened wldo
agapo In sheer amazement and he
strove valiantly to suppress a smile.
"Indeed I can't tell you, Mr. Just
wed," he said. "Just go over to the
Capitol and ask somo of tho watch
men you'll see on duty In tho House
OIllco Building. There aro so many
Congressmen hero that we can't keep

"What!" Interrupted Mr. J. "Do
you mean to say that you don't know
Jim Votersprlde! Why why he
carried our county tho other year with i
the largest majority ever polled j

"Shall I call a taxi?" asked the

from screaming right out loud. j
Mr. J. hesitated a moment he had I

"Surely," ho said, quite as though he
hadn't even dreamed calling upon so
Important a personage In anything
but a taxi.
It was about half-past nine when
Itomer-dear entered the House Ofllcci
Building. Tho huge place with" its
tremendous corridors seemed almost
as deserted as a public school build

rooms ho passed Mr. J. beheld sleepy
stenographers dawdling over their
machines or spruce, dapper young
clerks reading the morning papors
with their feet propped up on their
desks, finally, a llttlo down the cor
ridor, he espied a uniformed watch
man tilted back In his comfortable
revolving chair.
"How do I reach Congressman

"Votersprlde--Votersprlde?" the old

Tho room was empty! Mr. J.
stared around in surprise. Presently,
over In one corner, half-hidden In the
shadows, he beheld a lad curled up
asleep.
Just then tho boy came out
of his daze. i
"Will Congressman Votersprlde be
