The high tide on the sea of gayety has

have plunged In to make tills month one
round of pleasure, and even Old Sol's dis
appearance was greeted with jeers, for
who cared whether he smiled or frowned
while the logs blazed in the great tire
I places and the music of a fine orchestra
drowned the sighing and howling of the
winds, and one could take a hand at the
ever-popular bridge. Never in the history
of this hotel has the month of August
been such a busy one. over thirty people
being turned away last Saturday, tor the
fame of the pleasure to be enjoyed at this
beautiful resort has spread throughout
this country.
This is one of the most popular resorts
along the coast for motorists, and there
is never a day that from five to twenty
parties do not stop here for luncheon or
dinner, many remaining over night before
resuming their tour through the country.
It was a charming innovation that was

Around the City
A breeze had fanned Its way from the
dear Rockies, and. Io, the hot wave was
not! Wilted men and 'women fresh
ened up into spryness, newsboys took on
an extra agility and bounded along streets
I and around corners like so' many human
J trap-balls. And the e's no tell ng what
| cart-horses thought of the relief, 'way
i back in their long, dejected heads. May
be they were thankful to some power they
know as their Creator. Maybe so. No
body can deny ii, anyhow.
So the breeze had come, and in the
evening women went troileviag without
w:aps. They always do. And until they
[ grow more sensible they always will.
In one big, open car that went straight
through to Glen Echo the seats were
jammed full of peek-a-boo girls, with
escorts attached: giggling young persons
with, now and then, a chaperonic ma. who
didn't count, and a spr.nkle of sedate,
oldish women out for an airing?the kind
that wear black lawn buttoned in front,
and sit in a car seat as if it were a
pew. . -
And 'way down on a rear bench sat the
one wise woman in the crowd, with a
jacket on her arm.
When the car had whizzed over the
Georgetown bridge and into the open
country the breeze had d -veloped a chilly
streak that made the black-lawr* women
shiver- One of them sh.elded her chest
with an evening paper she happened to
have along. As the track cut through
windy fields, with more wind blowing up
from the river, the blast fairly whistled
through the car. The motorman turned
his coat rollar up to his ears, and one of
, the escorts tried to raise the glass front
window?and failed. His girl?a brunette
girl?oh, so very thin!?laughed at his sug
gestion that she should have brought
all up something to put around her.
"La. you cold? You must be getting
old. I never wear a wrap?I'm no mummy,
thank you!"
The wise woman, who had already slip
ped into her knitted jacket of soft white
wool, smiled as the young lady made
her little remark. It is rather amusing,
you know, dear world, that sensible cov
ering should be a sign of age.
A lingerie matron with a baby in her
lap, who was sitting next to the wise
woman, spread her handkerchief over the
; little one's head and cuddled it in her
half-bare arins. The baby whimpered.
Then the mother cooed at it in the foolish,
beautiful way that only mothers know
about. The baby was too cold to ex
change amenities. It cried?aloud.
Then the wise woman exchanged her
jacket for tiie mantle of charity. She
took off the warm, fleecy-knitted thing
and spread it over the baby, covering it
from top to toe.
No one can be expected to remember all
the little happenings of a day. The wise
woman has probably forgotten the In
cident by this time, never to recall it,
until?sometime, somewhere. Some One
will say to her:
"That which ye did unto my little one,
ye did It unto Me."
A man. his wife and two children?a girl
young ?enough for haT' hose and a boy old
enough for long trousers?were going
along the avenue yesterday afternoon.
The man was sullenly silent while the
woman nagged at him in a voice off key.
The youngsters behind them scrapped
every step of the way?as if they were
used to i!.
It was not an id^al family party, but.
with all the sullenness, the nagging and
the scrapping, there was one bond of
union between them. Each of the four
was chewing gum.
And the one point of this Incident is:
What has become of that scientist who
told the world?in a magazine?that gum
chewing produces a sweet disposition.
As the films unreel:
A man sat in an aisle chair at a mov
ing picture show. There were saveral
vacant seats on the inside and when a
ponderous blonde and her nondescript
woman companion came alongside the
man condensed himself so that the two
could pass over. The ponderous blonde
having plumped herself in the seat next
to 'the man?leaving the nondescript to
scramble over to the other side?proceeded
to bestow upon the man's unsuspecting
profile a prolonged stare of contempt. And
when, after a bit. he got up and went out
the blonde remarked to her iriend:
"Why couldn't that fellow have moved
up Instead of making us pass over?"
Then she moved into the man's seat and
the nondescript took the one next. And
when two more people came alongside
they had to pass over.
Which shows that there is one woman
in this town, anyhow?a ponderous blonde
?who considers the man in the aisle chair
at a nickelodeon show twin brother to the
end-seat pork person in a car.
"One minute, please,, until we change
the reel."
A woman who had come in from the
noon sunshine made her way in the semi
darkness of the hall until she camo to a
seat where she could reel the rushing
whirr cf a fan wheel. My the time she
had removed her hat the shadowy blurs
all around had materialized into people?
the two just in front of her being bovs
She particularly noticed the boys, because
they were trying to pry open the candy
boxes fastened to the chairs in front ot
them.
When the pictures began to unreel the
woman forget about the boys until, hav
ing to rest her eyes for an instant from
the flickering films, she noticed that the
two were still trying to do things to
the candy boxes. It wasn't a moral pro
ceeding, but, after all, they were only
two tiny street lads, who probably had
no gcod mother to teach them better.
In turning from this sordid phase o.
childlife, the woman noticed a batch o<
half-grown girls in stylish frocks anc
with prodigious bows in their hair.
They were trying to open the candy
>oxes fastened to the chairs in front o;
them. ,
Of course, they wro doing it in fun.
but they went about it right earnestly.
Then the woman looked at more pic
tures and gave no thought to things
around her, until, having to rest her eyes
again, she chanced to glance across the
aisle at a sedate and most respectable
man.
He was trying to open the candy box
fastened to the chair in front of him.
Then it occurred to the woman that a
candy Iwx, with slot restrictions, must be
a very fascinating temptation, not for it:
nickel's worth of goodies, but for its
value as a puzzle, which the managers
defy the public to solve.
A big. empty church Is a silent place on
a week day, but one woman who likes
big empty churches on week days went
through an ever-open door and slipped
into a pew from down the aisle. There
was one other person in the church.
He knelt rigidly upright, his hands
clasped as a little child is taught to pray;
his eyes raised as if. somehow, he sa.\
things not of this world above the mar
ble altar.
II s face was old and lean and brown,
and from his shuu ders hung a queer dark
lobe striped with gay braids and studded
with many buttons. In the pew beside
him lay a glass-faced box.
When you are In a big, empty church J

To the Woman it seemed that tnough her
earth, earthy eyes saw only a tiny 1 ght,
glowing crimson before the marble of a
veiled tabernae'e, perhaps?just per

again, and that once .move he was fol

was standing at a corner pedd ing candy.

"There was a scheme all right," re
marked the jewelry salesman after the
woman customer had gone. "And the
thing that made a hit with me was that
she was so frank about it. She had a
eood-sized solitaire diamond that her fa
ther or uncle or somebody had given her.
it seemed, and she had been weariing it
on her right hand. She said she was goiur
to wear it on her engagement finger and
wanted a plain band wedding ring to go
with it. She didn't try to four-flush
about it, thoujeh?didn't tell me she was
married or going to be or anything like
that. She said she was going out to
Seattle to take in the exposition and visit
a friend, and she thought a wedding
ring worn along with an engagement
ring would be a protection to her in
traveling. And I don't doubt that she
was right. I never knew of a woman
frankly telling of just that sort of a
scheme before. I have known of a lot
of women, though, who would buy or
borrow lodge Jewelry to wear on a long
railroad Journey on account of the safe
guard such Insignia might throw about
them."

ANTS PROTECT PLANT.
How Thev Defend It Against Leaf
Destroying- Insects.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A standing army of ants for defensive
purposes is kept and provided with food
by a sensitive plant of Nicaragua. In
this acacia there are two large thorns at
the base of each leaf inhabited by colo
nies of ants whiMi bore into the thorns
and make si home for themselves by eat
ing out the soft inner tissue. On the ie^f
stalks there are honey glands, and at tho
tip of each leatlet there is a sausage
haped body, about sis large as a pin's
head, consisting of albuminous fo.">d. Tho
ants .ip the nectar and eat the food
bodies, and, being contented w.th their
lot, remain on the p ant without doing it
any injury.
When the plant is threatened by an In
vasion of leaf-cutting ants which would
damage it the ants composing tiie plant's
army or police force rush out and repel
the intruders. Many similar arrange
ment ? exist in tropica! plants.
In ore of the most remarkable of these
a tit plants the female :mt bites a hole in
thw stem and brings up her broo*l inside
it. The stalk of each leaf is swollen at its
base and bears food bodies wh.-ch are
eaten by the ants when they emerge to
tind for them elves. As tiie old food
bodies sire <-aten new ones are formed,
thus keeping the tints, which are of a
tierce disposition, in the plant's employ
ment. Plants of the same species which
do not happen to b<- inhabited by ants
fall an easy prey t.. leaf-cutting kinds of
suits, wli oil sire only too plentiful ia tiie
tropi.- In other case.- the defensive ant
arc provided only with shelter in equities
of the stem, ami various naturalists hav.
observed tlisit these suits jiour out in
troops whenever leaf-cutting enemies a
tempt to attack \he foliage.
The ants which thus defend ti:e-( plan
are Mnall, but sting with extreme viru
'ence, their stnali s;zc mak'ng them t'e
more formidable. The leaf-cutting ant
cut off the leaves and pile them up in
heaps, forming a sort ?f kitchen garden <>.?
leaf mold, upon which they cultivate a
fungus belong.n? to the mushroom fam
ily. They suw the spjres of tiie nin-h
room and make a pure culture oi the fun
gus, nibbling at it to prevent the develop
ment of mushroom hea s. and thus pi >
mote the growth of spawn.
On the Jump.
From the Catholic Staixianl anJ Timet.
"Is it really only ten minutes* walk t<?
the station from your house?" a.-k.-d
Citinian.
"What a ridiculous question!" exclaim-)
ed Subbubs. "Nobody in lovely Swamp
hurst ever "walks* to the station. 1 may
say, however, that It's only about eight
and a half minutes' run."
"Have you forgotten you owe me $5?"
"No, not yet. Give l > time, and S
will."?Judge.
