W. ohol Rece TSIDELGHTSOIN A woman red to camouflage a bar tender Into selling her a drink. She went dressed as a man, into a Ninth street barroom and asked for an Old Jordon highball. "Alright, scout I gotcha" said the barkeep. He winked his eye at me eral barflies and set down the glass with a spoon in it for the "man" to drink. "Phew" she said and let loose a mouthful of salty water, colored with vinegar. "That's awful stuff, no wonder they are closing up. "'Alright sister'' shouted the barkeep. "Merry Christmas." A man stood taking one long linger ing look in front of Castelli's restaur ant. "'Those boys closed up early." he remarked mournfully, "I thought I was going to get one last drink In there tonight." Just then a woman, evidently his wife. came up and said excitedly. "Webb, meet Miss Anderson, I was just telling her how glad you were to see all this horrid liquor go. She is one or the women who helped the bill to go through." The man swallowed hard and shook hands and said "yea" to everything Miss Anderson said. "I tell yer boysh. Imsh glad ash can be that thesh shaloons are clushing." said one man who wore a high silk hat. He was standing with his back to a show window on Thir teenth street just off the Avenue. "Looksh at me.' he went on. "Yes" said a bystander, "It Is just for such as you that we all have to do without our booze. "Yesh," said the drunk, "I guesesh sho, but look at how many bartenders children feet I helped put shoesh on an' how many ownersh are riding in Fords on my money-h? ''hell ain't it?. "Ah jes' cain't lib widout mah gin," said an old colored woman. who had just come from a ierge office building, where Phe had been cleaning up.

"Well," answered the one with the high hat, "I sold liquor here for six years. Maybe you are right." . . 6 1 The little Ford failed to ramble along last night for at the corner of Eleventh and Pennsylvania avenue northwest. Henry had become ex hausted and stopped. Naturally a crowd formed and every one was giv ing instructions to the driver how to start it. The climax was reached when one of the Halloween revellers, taking advantage of the occasion, yelled in a deep base voice, "Dress it up like a Buick, everybody's doing it tonight." Along H street between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets noithwest, four girls, whose ages ranged from four to fourteen, were having a "bully time" all to themselv's, as the street was practically deserted. They con- I tented themselves by blowing beans at the windows of the fashionable shops. Two laborers on a (leorgetown car discussing the prospects when John Barleycorn was ushered out, dwelt long on calling Congress many names that we can't print. Finally becom ing Ured of talking, one turned to the other and in way of a closing re mark said, "This town A ever was much, now in aint nothing." Two negro women standing at the corner of Ninth and F streets north west, waiting for a car, was dressed as a clown and the other was carry ing her "party dress," which by the way, was made of paper, on a coat hanger. The clown turned to the one carrying the dress and made a wish that the car would hurry along. The party carrying the dress replied, "Deed, honey, 1 nint worried 'bout no car, I'm just thinking when I get this paper dress on and my man drops a spark from his cigarette. Deed honey I am afraid that I would get lots of flowers, but wouldn't be able to smell them." As the night wore on the youth of this city semea to have gone bug house in its observnnee -f All Hal loween, pranks taking almost every form of extreme, notwithstanding the bNetle-browed-like admonition of the head of the i-ice depart mernt to the contrary. The boys probably figured that Maj. Pullman. superintendent of the Metropoiltan police, was a kid himself once upon a time and that his proclamation putting the kibosh on Halloween fun was more of a joke than a threat. Anyhow. it didn't seem to produce much effect. from all accounts. Along Penrsylvania avenue north west, from Ninth street clear ip to Fifteenth and around the corner into Fourteenth again, was the main cen ter of nttraction so far as the genu ie article of merrnint was con etrned. To put it mildly, it was the "ubmarhie sone" for i edestrians. and woe he unto any person caught napping along this thoroughfare, be cause it was the open season for one continuous round of pleasure for everybody in general and the youtn ful in particular. Away out on Fourteenth street. fron Clifton to Park road especially, there was a perfect riot of sport, the affair deeloping finally Into a full fledged Mardi Gras, with bi-products on the side streels. Here staid and sedate couples. long In their affection for each other but shy on discretIum, were shocked beyond measure by the rude interruption of door-bells or the fervent admonition to "pull down the Winds." and it is more than likely some gilt-edged romances were shat tered by this process like unto the I talighting of a rlasted hope. It Pathetic figures last night: The ticket seller, a female of no oncertain bewitching qualities, at a Ninth street theater about 9:31). The kid with mamma's hand in his, t looking after the crowd of whistling. young bloods. The newspaper reporters, to whom It was all routine I?) busineas.

One little ragaed kid in the gutter watching the crowds of befurred and t bemuffed ladies accompany richly overcoated gentlemen into a ertain large theater. The gentleman who arrived from I Virginia on a train four hoUrS latO at I o'clock-one hour too late. The crowd which was at Ninth and the avenue at 10:30 turned to look at q the cop who took a growler from the b hand of a celebrator. i It was filled with light, foamy sub-1o stance. To all appearances it was the . liquid fruit of the malt and hors, But when the cop threw it into the gutter a thin. sIckly-looking stray cat I made a be line for the apparent beer. a Then, when one joy-intoxicated pas serby hailed his companion to stop and look at the s;.ectncle of the cat n which would soon be "floating around a with three sheets in the wind," the policeman broke it all up by saying,e "Move on, please; it's only milk." And immediately the crowd moved on, uninterested. Such Is the metropolitan police de-Ih partment's reputation for veracity. ;b Two detectives were standIng at the 'e corner of 'Ninth and the avenue when a costumed spindled-legged reveler e passed in skin-tight lights., t "There's a, case for you." one of the'g detectives remarked to his friend, e laughingly, "No visible means of i support." si Major Rtaymond Pullman personally h mixed with his scores of trusties and h was repeatedly recognized.b Some plain-looking gentlemen on Ninth street were continually walk log into a group of revelers and dis persing them wIth a, few detective like words, Then a plainer-looking gentleman walked up to the two plain-looking ones and asked to see their badges. When he showed his and they could rot show theirs, a mighty roar went up. And the two crumpled up, Every saloon in the city was .elosely scrutinised by the galetous crowds as they made their rounds about the downtown section of the city. One bar, which "rarely failed to win hearty laughter, was to Ninth street which was barricaded with barrel hoops on which was lettered: "Closed on account of death." Several of the smaller boose par lors which lasted it out, were soon t filled with their regular habitues and the doors closed save to those who desired to leave, r It is doubtful if there was ever a t< funeral celebration which was at- A4 tended by more mourning friends- I a or maore jubilant enemies, fa Poanemean were stationed at ahort si 0 as Wo Good-by, John By L Yer death kell has snoud And perhap 'ti bettor so.
