Black Stockings for Golf
BY MARY MARSHALL.
They are wearing black stockings!
I am not referring to the extremely
transparent black stockings which
when worn show flesh tints beneath
that rob them of their somberness. I
mean honest to goodness thick black
stockings. I was informed of this fact
the other day when I dropped in to
see a recently married friend of mine
and found her in her immaculate lit

inky-black dye. The kettle contained
i a number of stockings—or rather high
socks, for they were her husband's.
‘‘They’re wearing ’em black,” she
told me byway of explanation, and be
fore I had a chance to ask her who
was wearing black she explained that
the men at the golf club were wearing
black socks—black socks, with black
sweaters. It is considered quite smart.
So the gayly checkered and striped
woolen socks that my little friend’s
husband had on hand were all going
into the pot of black dye. She had
got him to promise that he would buy

his hunt all alone. He hunted every
where that he could think of before
going over to the pond of Paddy the
Beaver.
It was daylight by the time that
Peter got over to the pond of Paddy
the Beaver. It was deep in the Green
Forest. It looked just as peaceful as
it always looked. Well out towards
the middle was Paddy’s wonderful
house. At one end was Paddy’s won
derful dam across the Laughing
Brook. It was this dam which made
vthe pond. The dam had been there
no long that now grass was growing
on it and there were even some little
trees starting up on it. Ye* see, mud
and sod had filled in bottveen the
sticks with which the dam was built,
giving things a chance to <row.
But Peter wasn’t thinkfng of the
wonder of that house or that dam. He
looked eagerly for Paddy. He wanted
to ask questions of Paddy. But Paddy
the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy had been
very busy that night and they had
now retired to their comfortable bed
in the house to sleep. So Peter sat
around in vain. It began to look as if
lie should have to spend the day there
if he hoped to see Paddy the Beaver.
. Peter himself was tired, so after a
# bit he sat down comfortably tinder a
low-growing hemlock and went to
sleep. When he awoke some time later
he felt much refreshed. In fact, he
felt so much refreshed that he de
cided to go exploring a little. So he
started around the edge of the pond
of paddy the Beaver. After a while
he came to a muddy place. Right
away he saw a footprint that in
terested him. It gave him a little cold
shiver. You see. it was the footprint
of Yowler the Bobcat. It had been
made only the night before.
"I’m glad I wasn’t here when that
fellow' was around,” thought Peter.
He looked along a little farther and
t there he saw some more footprints.
At first he thought they were the
footprints of his cousin, Jumper the
Hare. Then, quite suddenly, it came
to Peter that these footprints were
smaller than those made by Jumper
the Hare. Hhey were just about the
size of his own footprints. They must
bo the footprints of that strange rab
bit he had been looking for. Peter
felt the hair rise on the back of his
neck; he gritted his teeth; he became
very, very angry just at the sight of
tfcuse footprints. For quite some time
* c ould do nothing but sit there and
stare at them.
At last he hopped over a little
nearer to them and then as he glanced
along the shore he received another
* shock. And it was a shock! The fact
that lie had half expected something
of the kind didn't make the shock any
the less- There, in the mud, were

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.
OCTOBER 28, 1800—Mrs. Thornton,
wife of Dr. William Thornton, who
drew the original plans of the Capitol,
recorded In her diary today that she
visited the “new bridge built over
Tiber or Goose Creek.” This famous
old creek flowed across Pennsylvania
avenue near Second street, and turned
west, crossing S*eventh street just
south of Pennsylvania avenue. It is
celebrated in the verse of the poet
Tom Moore, who spent about a week
in the District of Columbia in 1804.
He satirized local conditions as follows:
In fancy now. beneath the twilight gloom.
Come, let me lead thee o’er the second Rome,
Where tribunes rule, where dusky Davi bow.
And what was Goose Creek once is Tiber
now:
This embryo Capital, where fancy sees
Squares in morasses, obelisks in trees
Which second-sighted seers even now adorn
With shrines unbuilt and heroes yet unborn.
OCTOBER 28, 1802—The first pun
ishment for a capital crime within
the District occurred today when
James McGurk was hanged for the
murder of his wife. He had been sen
tenced to hang on August 28, but had
been reprieved for two months by the
President through the efforts of his
counsel, A. B. Woodward. At the end
of that period he was taken from the
jail on C street to the gallows, which
according to tradition, was erected on
;he Mall at Maryland avenue and First
street.

the boy or girl who swatted the most
flies, and nearly every youngster had
a jar of flies and a swatter?
THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Saturday, October 29.
While a beneflc aspect Is strong
early in the morning, there are ad
verse aspects later in the day, accord
ing to astrology.
This is a planetary government
under which it is held to be especially
unfortunate to speculate, but there
will be strong temptation to dabble in
stocks.
The first work under this sway of
the stars should be the settling of bills
or stabilizing of one’s financial situa
tion. .
There is a fairly good aspect for the
signing of leases or business agree
ments.
Under this rule plans may be
thwarted and there may be a strong
sense of the futility of effort.
It is wise to postpone constructive
work and to delay all important
initiative.
Persons who exercise authority may
be testy and difficult to deal with,
while this rule prevails. Employes
should be careful.
It is not a lucky day for seeking
employment or benefits of any sort
and all solicitation should be post
poned.
The evening is not especially prom
ising fc%- theaters or other places of
amusement. Storms may diminish
audiences.
Love affairs in the evening are sub
ject to the most sinister direction of
the stars. Engagements are likely to
be broken.
Fashions are to be much more
feminine in line and more dainty in
material, it is prognosticated.
Persons whose birth date it is should
be conservative in all social and busi
ness activities in the coming year.
Children born on that day may be
Inclined to talk too much or to em
phasize their own importance. They
may be great social favorites, but
they should be ttught to work hard
if they want success.

If women who do housework would
take a little thought before they be
gan work, their faces and hands and
arms need never show the results of
their hard labors. For those fortunate
enough to be able to buy them, there
are electric dishwashing machines:
and for those not able to get some
thing so fancy, arrangements with a
hose that fastens on the hot water
faucet: and for those without an ample
supply of hot water, soap shakers,
dish mops with long handles, and rub

There are electric washing ma
chines—expensive, but they save their
cost in a hundred ways. And for the
women who can’t afford them, pat
ented soap powders and flakes, so that
clothes can soak themselves clean over
night or during a morning spent with
other sorts of work. I know one
woman who soaks her week’s laundry

BY JENNY WREN.
This oak cupboard-chest is one of
the many very tine modern reproduc
tions of old furniture masterpieces
which are on the market today. It
follows exactly the line of the early
seventeenth century original.
This fine and sturdy furniture was
an honest expression of the mode of
life and thought of its period in Eng
land, and it brings to tjie modern home
a note of age-old romance.
Furniture of this type is at its best
against oak paneling of the sort indi
cated in the sketch. Walls and floor
should present a solid effect of rich
ness and permanence, and color must
be supplied by wall hangings, window
draperies, chair cushions and perhaps
by Oriental rugs on the floor.
For upholsteries and hangings the
bright orange, red-and-yellow brocades
and velvets might be used, or Jaco
bean crewel embroideries.

I OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri I
Teasing.
* Once more I rise to protest against
teasing a child. It is a game particu
larly offensive. One never sees the
little helpless child teasing the big
able-bodied ones. The teaser usually
picks somebody weaker than himself,
the more helpless, the better. When
he torments his victim to tears ho is
happy. Even full-grown men and
women have been known to indulge
in this primitive sort of sport, the
more shame to them.
A baby is seated on the rug, playing
happily with his ball and his fluffy
rabbit. An older person comes along
and snatches up the bail and pretends
to toss it away and puts it behind his
back. The baby looks about him
anxiously, holds up his hands for the
ball, anil tries to ask for it. The
teaser smiles and shakes his head.
‘‘Gonie gone,” says he with a charm
ing smile at his own sweetness. The
baby begins to cry. Then the teaser
will return the ball. The game is
finished when the child weeps.
A little lad is so unfortunate as to
be lame, or feeble-minded, or marked
in some way that sets him apart from
his fellows for his lifetime. The teaser
is upon him at first sight. He fits a
neat name to his misfortune and dis
covers just what trick of voice or
manner, just what gesture will hurt
the child most and ever after harp on
it. The more his victim squirms the
happier he is.
Sometimes parents and teachers say
to the weeping child, “He's only teas
ing you. Don’t mind him. Laugh at
him arid he will soon stop.”
So far, so good. This unhappy child
will have to erect a defense against
his mates, and the sooner he learns
how to do it the better. He is forced
to carry his burden through life and
on the road he will meet many a one
who will smirk and nod and make
sport of him. Ho will have to learn
how to adjust himself to the condition
so as to suffer least.
But what about the teaser? Has
my one said anything positive to him?
He is in a very bad way and should be
corrected at once. He is to be told the
right name for his pastime and to be
made ashamed of it. He is to be
taught the fine old rule—“As you are
strong, be merciful,” and the older
one, “To whom much hath been given
much shall be expected.”
Teasing helpless ones, is the mark
of the old man within us. It is an
ugly mark, a brand upon the soul of
him who has it. In the end the
teaser is far worse off than the help
less one he tormented. It is the duty
of the teacher and the parent to get
him to understand just what he is
FEATURES,
doing and what it must mean to his
own soul.
When you discovor such a situation
take the mistaken one aside and try
to make the sin of his conduct clear.
And if you can’t, you are fully justi
fied in taking any measures necessarv
to protect the helpless one. Right
needs might behind it and should
never fail to find it.

What Is Effect of Foreclosure
of Mortparje on Ten
ant's J^eascf
BY THE COUNSELLOR.
Harold Wilson leased a property, 0.1
which the owner had an outstanding
mortgage, for a period of five years,
and established a drug store on the
premises.
Wilson was an occupant of the build
ing lor a year and had developed a
paying business, when he learned that
th mortgagee had instituted foreslos
ure proceedings to sell the property
because the mortgage was in arrears.
Shortly thereafter, the new purchaser
of the house gave him notice to move.
Explaining to the new owner that
his lease had still four more years to
run, W ilson declared that he was un
der no legal compulsion to move. The
owner's reply, however, was that the
foreclosure had voided the lease.
To save the business he had started.
Wilson brought suit to restrain the
new owner from ejecting him. using
his lease as the basis of his right for
protection.
Wilson lost his case, the matter be
ing governed by the following rules:
“Leasehold rights acquired after the
execution of a mortgage on the prem
ises leased are extinguished by the
foieclosure of the mortgage. In some
jurisdictions this is dependent on
whether the holder of the lease is or is
not made a party to the foreclosure
proceedings. In other jurisdictions
th question as to whether the tenant
has been made such a party to the
proceedings is of no importance for
the rule to apply.”
