DINING ROOM DECORATIONS
Side Lights and Flower Instead of
Brlc-a-Brac Today.
The day of the ornate, littered,
much-bedecked dining room Is a
thing of the past. The plate rail is
fast disappearing. The heavily load
ed rail has already gone. If you have
a few beautiful plates that harmonize
with the color scheme of the room,
an artistic tray or a bit of rare old
china you can display It on your
plate rail If you wish, but the many
steins, the souvenir plates, and the
heavily ornamented vases and other
bric-a-brac had better be removed
TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP
We find you can bring out the
beauty of jour hair to Its very best
advantage by washing It with can
throx. It makes a very simple. In
expensive shampoo, which cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly of all the
dandruff, dirt and excess oil. leaving
a wonderfully clean, wholesome feel
ing. After Its use you will find that
the hair dries quickly and evenly. Is
never streaked In appearance and is
always bright, soft and fluffy; so
fluffy In fact that It looks more abun
dant than It Is, and so soft that ar
ranging It becomes a pleasure. Just
use a teaspoonful of canthrox which
you can get from any good druggist,
dissolve It in a cup of hot water, this
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so It Is easy to apply It to
all the hair Instead o&Just the top of
the head. Advt.
Nor Is the sideboard any linger con
sidered the place on which to spread
out all yor treasures. A bowl or
basket of china or silver for fruit,
a low pottery bowl for flowers or one
of the very new pieces of Venetian
glassware In the center, with a pair
of candlesticks and a small piece for
either end, 's far more artistic and
attractive than all the cut glass and
silver that could crowd onto it.
The ornate glass dome of many
colors has largely gone the way of
the overdecorated plaie rail. The
best lighting for the dining room of
today, say the professional decorators.
Is the side light, with candles for
the table. If you have a dome, how
ever, you can cover It with a shade
of plain silk to match the color
scheme of the room, finishing It with
a fringe of silk or beads. Make four
smaller shades like It for the candle
sticks. Built-in cupboards with tiny, glass
panes In the doors are much more
popular Just now than thechlna
closet.
If one loves flowers In the house
and Is at all successful in raising
them the dining room windows may
be filled with them. Many of the new
houses are built with wide sills In
this room for that very thing. One
vty clever young woman In an apart
mt.t had a long, low bench built to
set over her radiator fn the bay win
dow, stained to match the woodwork
and with castors so It coul easily be
rolled to the other side- of the 'room
In the winter If the radiator got too
hot. A huge glass bowl stood In the
middle of the bench for her goldfish
and the plants were placed at either
end. Over It hangs a wicker bird
cage.
DR.RITTER"INBAD"
AS GERMAN AGENT
Swiss Minister's Activities Incur
Displeasure of President and
Secretary of State.
An accumulation of activities of Dr.
Paul Rltter. Swiss mlnlsler to the
United States, and Germany's Indirect
representative here, has tended to,
put him In the same near persona non
grata calss as that In which German
Ambassador von Bernstorff several
times found himself, following the tat
ter's propaganda schemes 6f the last
two years.
While Government heads refused to
comment officially on the matter,
some privately admit that th Admin
istration Is coming to believe that Dr.
Rltter not only Inherited Count von
Bernstorffs diplomatic work here, but
has taken up as well certain German
propaganda that may force a flat
showdown between himself and the
State Department.
The first evidence of this 'sort of
work was Dr. RItter's dissemination
of reports, through a press associa
tion, that Germany was anxious for
a German-American conference, at
which all points at Issue between the
two nations could be discussed.
Stale Department Ignored.
This bit of obvious propaganda was
started exactly one week after sever
ance of German-American relations.
What 'chiefly Incensed Secretary
Lansing and President Wilson was
the fact that Dr. Rltter made his
"peace conference" suggestions to
newspaper men several hours before
the State Department had any Idea
of the proposal. It was learned today
that his hurried trip tp the State J)e
partment a few hours after he "per
mitted" the "peace conference" news
to go out was In response to an "urg
ent request" that he call on Secretary
Lansing.
It is understood that his plan
Germany later announced It emanat
ed from Rltter himself and not from
the German foreign ofIce met with
such a brusque rebuff that It fell aS
solutely flat.
Officials believed that the plan, by
the very nature of the method by
which Is was made public, was an
appeal over the Government to the
people chiefly the pacifist element
to urge such a conference.
The latest bit of obvious German
propaganda by Dr. Rltter came yes-
terday, when he once more through
the press let it be known that Ger
many proposed to detain five Ameri
can consular officials until Germany
was assurea an her consular officers
and other officials were not belnir
detained.
Deliberate Otfense Seen.
Diplomatic practice required that
Ritter communicate this to the State
Department. Diplomatic ethics, at
least, also .required that Rltter leave
It to the State Department or an
other branch of this Government to
publish the fact.
Despite these Inviolable rules. Dr.
Rltter deliberately called in the same
newspaper men through whom he had
disseminated his first bit of propa
ganda and gave out the news with
out any consideration of what the
American State Department's attitude
in the matter might be.
Although Secretary Lansing refused
absolutely to comment on the Inci
dent, he plainly showed extreme re
sentfulnesB of Dr. RItter's action, and
It was learned that the department
Is "Investigating the question."

"A FOOL THERE WAS"
WHOSTOLEFORHER
But She, in the Century Chorus,
Cared Not When He --
Landed in Cell.
NEW YORK, March 1. In a dress
ing room at the Century Theater the
girl had finished beading her eye
lashes (one might have curled them
around one's little finger) and was
dipping In and out of the make-up
box with quick, deft, professional
touch.
There was a knock at the door. She
replied with an Invitation to enter
an Invitation put In pretty voice,
though a voice that was a shade too
shrill, a degree too hard for ears
tuned to agreeable modulation. A
man with a message for her stepped
over a pink frock which seemed to
begin at the waist, hesitated a mo
ment, and then, observing her obvious
Incuriosity, gave the news without
frills:
"Young Kent has been let off by
the court on his promise not to see
you again says he won't."
The girl lightly touched her cheeks
with rouge, caressed her lips with
rouge stick, regarded the effect with
perfectly sincere admiration, and then
laughed softly. -
"I should worry," she said. "He
won't be bothered by me In his uplift.
Life Is too short to worry about kids
kids from Chicago But he la a nice
boy, at that. If he had .had a good
stake "
The Big Brothers up In their Mon
astery of Good Will say Dick Kent
wasn't altogether to blame for losing
his head over a remarkably pretty
coryphee, following her across the
continent and back a,ga!n. trying to
play the spender on Broadway and
eventually tempted to theft when
funds ran dry.
His father. Richard P.. Kent. Is secre
tary and treasurer of a corporation In
Chicago, and Richard, jr., who Is twen
ty years of age, had worked for his
father until. about fourteen months ago.
At that time be Joined several boy
friends In attending a famous ''girl
show" at the Auditorium Theater and
promptly from that evening was off at a
tangent, lost to well, all sense of the
fitness of things. There was a girl the
girl who so lightly laughed when she
was told that Dick had promised not to
see her again In the front row, the kind
of girl that Is a natural magnet for
flowers and silly notes ; the kind that Is
partly able to get along on PS a week
because she- almost never has to pay for
her own meals. ,
Sent Flowers and Notes.
Young Dick began with the flowers
and the notes and passed through the
usual apprenticeship at signing restau
rant checks. The girl liked hlm, was
amused by his extreme youth and fresh
ness of mind. Possibly she was not sm
prised, after the show packed up and
left Chicago, to find Dick In a front seat
at the next stop, Milwaukee. And "so It
went for months, a kid lovesick for a
pretty but thoroughly experienced
chorus girl, roaming wild over the coun
try, timing his movements by the Itine
rary of the big "girl show," caught be
tween mlserableness and the thrill of
what he firmly believed was a great and
only love.
Of course he ran quickly out of money.
but his name his father's rather
counted for something. Pretty soon bills
were arriving at the office of Richard,
sr., and the anger of that gentleman
rose proportionately. Eventually, some
three months ago, Dick came to the end
of his string at Fort Worth, Tex.

lob In a store, stuck to It until he had
saved enough for railroad fare to NeV
York with 0 on the side, and then
came East.
Fifty Dollars Soon Gone.
The $50 went like well, every one
knows how fast 30 goes along
Broadway between suns'. Young Dick
was up against it as never before In
his easygoing career. He was living
at the Hotel Navarre which, as Is the
habit of hotels, expects a guest to
step up to the cashier's desk 'once In
a while, and Dick had gotten out of
this habit. Also there was the girl.
If he didn't take her to Rector's
somebody else would. Money had to
be found some way Just had to be.
A week ago last Sunday an Italian
citizen negotiating for a ticket at the
Pennsylvania station whirled from
the wicket at the. moment when a
young man was making off with his
suit case. Some one tripped the
young ftian. grabbed him and held
him for Gaetano and the police. It
was Dick, nabbed as a thief.
It Is not every accused thief that
weeps bitterly on his way to the
lockup, and It Is not to every ac
cused thief that the case hardened
detectives attribute good qualities. In
Dick's case both were true. They
held him In Jail until yesterday, when
bis case came.
"Young man" (nobody on earth can
say "young man" quite as severely
as a cloaked Judge), "I am going to
place you on probation for a year,

from Broadway and the white lights.
It is unsafe for boys of your age to

Every Worker Visible.
Immediately back of the officer's
aesas is & large space lor tne oillce
force, which Is Inclosed on three sides
by the various tellers cages, the en.
tire layout being so arranged that
every worker Is visible .from the en
trance. In order to avoid all the
noise possible which would detract
from tne efficiency of the workers,
the floor of this office space is of
cork. m
The llghtlmr system throughout
the offices is indirect, thus eliminat
ing the glare and resultant injury
to the eyes of the direct lighting
systems. An abundance of daylight
Is afforded by the huge plateglass
windows which occupy approximate
ly a seventy-foot front on E street.
The new vault, which opens Into
the rear of the office, occupies an
enclosure of heavy bars of polished
steel, and the massive door, which
safeguards the bank's assets, weighs
more than seventeen tons. The front
of the vault Is devoted to safe de
posit boxes, 2,000 of these small steel
cases bejng arranged along the
walls. Passing through this space
another gate of steel bars the way
to the extreme rear of the vault,
where the bank's cash and papers are
stored.
All Furniture Mahogany.
To the rear of the vault Is the
board room, rooms for storing sta
tionery, and files and other materials,
ant a handsomely furnished confer
ence room.
The furniture throughout the entire
offices Is of mahogany, and Is In keep
ing with Its splendid surroundings.
The walls and columns of the main
banking room are of beautiful Botta
clno marble from the famous Botta
clno quarry in northern Italy, the rich
tint of which blends artistically with
the branze fixtures and tasteful furni
ture. The new offices carry out In beauty,
comfort, and stability the character
of the new Munsey building.
Many prominent bankers, local
business men, and Government offi
cials have Inspected the quarters and
expressed their admiration.
For the convenience of patrons and
others who wish to view the new of-
nee. Ine management of the bank has
decided io keep 1 open until 11
