PAGE SIX THE CITIZEN, TUESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1913. fcB mmmmr Gossip From IC&Pashington I "T is not generally known that the mild nntured, gen- ial senator from Mississippi, John Sharp Williams, was once a participant in a duel. Nevertheless ho was, and n principal at tutjt. The aXtalne d'honnour occurred whllo the present statesman was a student at Heidelberg university, in Germany. In same way ho offended one of his fellow students nnd was promptly challenged. As sabers wero the weapons ie rtgoour, ac cording to the code, the challenger was greatly disturbed whan John Sharp, being the challcngod pcipon and hav ing tho choice of weapons, chose United States army re volvers. In fact, be was so upset that when the meeting came off ho missed his opponent by several yards. Whereupon John Sharp calmly shot his weapon Into the air nnd shook bands. Den Tillman, senator from South Carolina, once tbe fiercest radical in con gress, but now in old ago a gentle spirit, finds his tastes nnd longings going back to the simple life. The pleasures or tue wwe in which be once indulged ne now barred by a limited diet and one meal a day. "Where can If get a good chicken?" plaintively oskod tho senator. "The kind wo used to get out in tho barnyard a tender, yellow legged pullot. Tho doctor says I must eat chicken, but the stringy skele tons of ancient fowls bought here in Washington are an abomination. I want somo fried chicken, tender nnd tasty. I suppose I must go back to South Carolina to get if ! Vioo President Marshall's first days in office brought him keen disappointment because his official rooms wero bo open to tho public that he had to sit in dignified state behind his desk. "An Indiana lawyer has to get his feet up on tho desk tn order to think," ho is quoted as saying- So now be has added two sequestered office rooms in tho senate office building, where he can "think'' In peace nnd quietude.

Senator Bristow of Kansas has a buzzsaw temperament that runs to keen sarcasm und biting comment The only way his follow senators can get back at him is to mention golf. Bristow is a whalo of a driver. lie can send the ball off tho too 200 yards or more with a wonderful swing. But ithat is all. "I'm never scared, even when Bristow drives the green," said his senatorial opponent, "because it is certain that he will take four or five puts to run down the hole. He's always strong on tho start, but therQ,is usually a long wait for the finish." . n Thov are carrylnx economy to Its uttermost limits in Photo by American congress.

Today's Short Story 1 A Plot That Failed SEVERAL) young men wero sitting around a table In tho cafe of a club In New York. Some one in troduced tho subject of matrimony in order to start Cutler nartsough gab bling, for being a woman hater, and, possessing a vein at dry humor, bo in variably vxnal entertaining on mar riage. He was especially caustic on this occasion and kept the party in a roar of laughter. The next topic was as to tho time required to muko a Journey around the globe. This occnsloood an animated discussion which led to a bet between nartsough and Foster Oonant of a lxx at the opera for the coming season that nartsough would make tho trip in sixty-eight days. nartsough left tho nest day at noon and, meeting with no delays, arrived at San Francisco with time to sparo to reach Now York before tho close of the sixty-eighth day, which ended at 12 o'clock noon. When tho traveler reached Chicago, he had two days in which to uiako tho distance to New Yovk. IIo left Chica go on a Thursday morning and was not duo at his dub till Saturday noon. In the parlor car sat a young lady dressed In a fashionable traveling cos tume. Sho sent tho porter to him to ask if ho was Mr. nnrtsough of New York. Upon his reply that ho was sho sent him her card. "Miss Ethelwyn Wboawlll." nartsough Joined her, raised his hat deferentially and waited for an expla nation. Tho girl's face broke Into a delicious flush as sho said: "My aunt, Mrs. Clinton, telegraphed mo that you would bo on this train. Knowing that I dread traveling alone, she suggested that you might consent to take mo under your charge." "Mrs. Alexander Clinton of Madl son avenue?" "Yes." "I know h,er very well. Sho has placed me under an obligation In giv ing mo so cnarming a -traveling com panlon." Miss Wheawill knew of hla bet, nnd nartsough gallantly told her that la cose lie won it he would beg the honor of her acceptance of the box for the season. This offer occasioned a mid den cessation of that liveliness with which sho was attracting bun. How ever, this passed off, and tho twenty hours of the Journey seemed to Hart sough but so many minutes. Mrs. Al exander Clinton met them at tho Grand Central station wltiti her carriage and insisted on Ilnrtsoagh driving home with them to dinner, an invitation he was only too glad to accept. After dinner ho w.ifl left with Miss Wheawill, and at 11 o'clock ho requested the but ler to call a carriage. Mrs. Clinton in sisted on his remaining In tho house for tho night, and bo consented. He had no sooner entered his room than ho heard the sound of a key turn ed from tl outside. Trying tho door, ho found it lockod. "Tricked!" ho cried, starting. Meanwhile a party of men nt the club, who had had an intimation from ono of their number that something was In tlie wind, had met, eager for news. Tom Bond entered and reported that Hartsongh was under lock and key. It was 10 o'clock the next morning when Ilartsough heard a tap at his prison door. "It's I, Mr. Ilartsough." "Miss Wheawill?" "Yes. I am very much ashamed of tho part I have taken, tliough it was all your fault. My cousin, Tom Bond, heard your strictures on woman and your bet I bet htm the price'' of a the ater party that I would delay Vou." "ITm! There's tlmo for repentance. It's only 10 o'clock. I'm duo at tho club at 12." "I'd lose my bet" "I'll take care of that and keep my promise about the opera box." Tho door was unlocked, and the pris oner spent an hour in tho drawing room with his Jailer. At 11:55, as tho gentlemen at tbe club wero waiting for the stroke of 12 to celebrate, In walked Hartsough. There was bland astonishment on very face. - ' "now did you get out?" asked Bond. "By bribery. Tho lady who trapped mo will have tbe use of tho box I have won." "Yes, and she'll have you, too,"" said Bond with heat "Tho minx not only bet mo she would delay you, but that she'd imnke yon propose, to, her.? Hartsough flamed to tho foots -of his hair, "By thunderl She's won that bet al ready." , ' VACATION DON'TS FOR THE $ UNWARY. 4 Don't read on tho beach unless shaded by au umbrella. Tho glaro on tho sand Is bad for tho eyes. Don't stare out at sea too long if .tho sun Is shining on tho waves; also bad for eyes nnd may create nausea if tho dlgcs- x tion Is weak. Dont sit on damp sand under V tbe impression that salt water dampness cannot hurt Tbe wo- , man who carries a yard or so of y thin rubber sheeting In her hand '1 bag will save herself stiff bones and rheumatism and not find It burdensome. .j Don't haunt that part of the f beach where tho "salty" smell of f tho ocean Is strongest. It prob- J ably means decaying vegetation y somowhese near or possibly sur- face drainage from some nearby cottage. Don't fall to rinse your hair free of salt water after bathing. It will save terror of baldness and halnJresslng bills in tbe fall. Also don't fall to dry your hair well If you do not want neural gia or a bad cold In tho head. Don't bo foolhardy In your tramps. Remember that nothing Is mow trying than to have a party of good climbers kept back by a weakling. Know your strength and gaugo your dis tances accordingly. If you lakeg wains tnnt overuro you an goou , In them is lost Dont lxj foolhardy on moun tain streams or lakes. Nothing is so treacherous as sudden rough water on apparently placid lakes. If you cannot swim never go In a canoe or boat without a good swimmer with you, and even then a life preserver will be a comfort. Don't go to tho mountains without n sweater and don't fall to take It out with you On your tramps, on the water, on drives, nnd have it convenient for morn ing and evening use. Like n salt water cold, ono taken in the mountains sticks long. THE VOGUE OF THE SASH. This season brings tbe npotheosls of tho sash. It is used on every type of costume, from tbe lingerie frock of embroidery to the carriage wrap fit satin, and sashes are tied everywhere Just below the bust, around the waist, over tho hips nnd at the knee. The ultra fashionable sash at tbe mo ment however, is tbe hip sash. Many striking costumes worn at Auteull nnd ut Longchnmps recently have shown wide, soft sashes of black satin draped over the hips, with flat ends falling ei ther at the front or nt the back. A most interesting wrap worn nt Auteuil recently was very wide and loose across tho shoulders, but tapered to a close fit at the hips. About four inches above tho lower edge of tho wrap and directly over the widest part of the hips was a sash of black satin, drooping nt the back and falling to the ankles far below the edge of the short wrap In heavily weighted ends. The wrap was also of black satin and was embroidered richly over tins shoulders In an oriental design done in red, blue and orange threads, the embroidered pattern tapering into a narrow panel at the back of tho garment and tbe sharp point of the panel reaching to the drooping knot of the sash. Two gowns worn by mauiklns at Longchamps showed the Ideas of fa mous designers In regard to tho fash lonablp sash. These pretty mani kins kept close together, presumably because they wore friends not be cause the rival couturiers so willed it and, as it happened, one costume was an excellent foil for the other. One gown had a draped skirt of Chinese blue crepe do chine, over which hung a queer little peplum frill of cream not embroidered with huge Chinese hieroglyphics in dull blue. The sur plice bodice was of tho crepe do chine with a saucer shaped motif in flesh pink and rose embroidery over each bust and inturnlng frills of plaited white net within the V shaped neck opening. A very broad sash of white moire silk encircled the waist above the laco peplum and was raised high at the center front to meet the V of laco frilling, a pink and white cameo pin holding It in place.
