Washington Carrying out their pledge ' for a cleaner Washington, "white wings," In the persons of society matrons and others were out in full force bright and early today supervising the clearing the streets of the city of all floating paper and debris not gathered up by the rubbish carts. The scheme, which was inaugurated by the women of the Twentieth Century club, was that at 0 o'clock in tho morning the city should be free from all floating debris. The appearance of the streets of the city indicate that the movement was a success. . Through the efforts of the club the interest of one woman in each city block was enlisted to act as chairman of that block, and she in turn endeavored to interest all the other housewives in the block. In this way each woman attending to her own premises produced in the aggregate a clean city. i The dance given by Mr. George Toschlog, Mr. Robert Mitchell and Mr. Charles Piening last evening, in the Display of Women's

THREE TAFT GIRLS. Daughter mf President and Two Cousins Will Be White Houss Belle. During the next four years three young wooes of the Taft family will take prominent parts in the social life of Washington and especially in all the functions at the White Bouse. They are cousins Miss Helen Taft, daughter of the president; Miss Louise Taft, daughter of Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, and Miss Louise Taft. daughter of Henry W. Taft of New York. Miss Helen Taft will be the most important figure in the trio because of the position her father occupies, and she will be known as the White House
BEX.ZN TAFT AKD HBB COtTSUTS. belle. During the school year Washington will see very little of her, for she will continue her studies at Bryn Mawr. near Philadelphia. She is a modest girl with attractive features and an unusual fund of sound common sense. Her cousin Louise, daughter of Charles P. Taft, is a pretty young woman. She is rather slender, possesses an olive complexion, has masses of black hair, and her eyes are dark. This young woman has a most graceful carriage and a sprightly temperament. She is already known to Washington, having spent considerable time in the capital. Miss Louise Taft, daughter of Henry W. Taft, has only recently returned from Europe, where she spent a year traveling. Her taste in matters of dress is said to be excellent. All three of the Taft cousins were at the inaugural ball. "Dearie" or -Girlie," Which Are You 7 How long can this last? Must we be "dearied" and "girlled" forever? Awhile ago It was the dearie girl that nourished. You were called dearie when you went to buy a suit, you were called dearie when you tried on a hat. and you were told just what was and what was "not becoming to you, dearie," until you felt thoroughly surfeited with affection. And then just as it ceased to be the fashion to be called dearie you found it was quite the thing to be called girlie. So now you are girlie. "See here, girlie; I want to see the manager," she says to you In a confidential tone. "Could you tell me where to go?" Or if you are doing the buying instead of the selling it is. "Say. girlie, now that Is the collar for you," or "You know, girlie, you ought to have a bag like tbat; It's the thing." Yes. you are called girlie if you are little and winsome and sixteen; you are called girlie if you are ttiin and gaunt and intellectual or if you are fair, fat and forty. Let not "forty." Indeed, think tbat she escapes being glrlied. for she doesn't. Before the summer is over she will have been glrlled into buying her new suit and into taking a hat tbat she doesn't want. She will be glrlled when she gets a shampoo, and she will be told that she ought to rub a little cold cream into her nails at night, girlie, by the young person who attends to her manicuring, for youth, age and station are all alike to her. The girlie girl is no respecter of persons. Once in her presence you are girlied till you escape. We thought we had achieved something when we found ourselves rid of the dearie girl, but it begins to look as if we didn't know when we were well off, for now she puts her arm around you and calls you girlie. And what are you going to do? Slapping her really Isn't to be thought of. for It wouldn't be polite not at all. Old Books as Jewel Cases. A new idea was shown In a collection of fine old books scattered in a heterogeneous heap on a glass case In a famous jewelry bouse of New York, which attracted the attention of every book lover who saw them. They were charming books genuinely old, with full leather bindings, some of them hand tooled and gilded and with fine engravings and woodcuts on the inside. They were real treasures for the bibliophile. Tbat was until a doaen or more pages bad been turned, when the secret was revealed. The heart of every book had been cut out and sides of strong paper filled In to make a receptacle of greater or less capacity, according to the sire of the book, for a jewel case. With jewels in one of these It can go Into a bookcase, where It Is impossible for ft to be recognized, for it is genuinely i bookl Then, with the case door locked, as would naturally be done to protect volumes of more or leas vaJue, the chief among burglars is likely to be deceived. The book jewel cases vary in else from tiny volumes of prayer or religious exercises to books as large as the ordinary noreL They are all of a more or less serious nature or historical and the greater number in French. One of these is the "Advice or a Mother to Her Son and Daughter.' Another Is dedicated to a dauphin of France, 1700 and something. There Is a historical volume with fine engravings of Louis XV. and. Queen Marie of France, and a large woodcut of a Biblical scene In the frontispiece In another book. The frontispiece, the title page and a few other leaves are
NEW MORTGAGES MUST BE GIVEN
All School Fund Loans of Five Years Are Being Called , In Now. ! ACTION OF THE AUDITOR NOTICES TO BE SENT TO EVERY; RnRRnwPB wuncc miu u i RUN THE LIMIT OR OVER IN TEREST GOOD. All borrowers of 6tate school funds, whose loans have run for periods of five years or longer, no matter if lutercst payments have been promptly met and the property, on which the mortgages is based, has increased rather than depreciated In value, are executing new mortgages in response to a call being made on them by County Auditor Coe. Where titles were not fully "run" in old loans, a complete abstract of title is being called for. and all land Is being reappraised. The custom always has been In Wayne county to permit school fund loans to run indefinitely if interest payments were made with reasonable promptness, but it seems that unconsciously the letter and spirit of tho statute has been violated In years gone by. Follow Same Rule. Other counties, as a rule, have followed the same course. Some time ago Auditor Coe, after laying the matter before the county attorney, decided to have new mortgages executed In cases where loans had run five years or longer, and this Is now being done. Notices are being sent out and new loans made if not paid off. It is rather a remarkable fact that at the beginning of the present year not a single school fund borrower in Wayne county was a penny delinquent in interest, the demand being made for promptness in meeting the obligations, being complied with. Wayne Makes Record. Wayne county was one of the few counties In the state that was not obliged to make up delinquent interest of borrowers at the time of the laet settlement with the state. Because of the fact that Wayne county now draws interest on its deposits in bank, it Is an actual loss to the county if It l compelled to dip Into Its treasury to make up delinquent interest of borrowers, and the auditor is demanding that payments be met with the same promptness that is demanded by banks and trust companies, or proceedings to foreclose will be instituted. Wayne county has upwards of $2G0,U0Q of school fuhds of the state loaned out at the present time and the amount of funds remaining on hand is less than $4.xm, with applications for loans pending that are far in excessof this sum. Minister Is your father home, little man? Boy Xo. be ain't. lie's employed on a county contract. Minister That's good! I'm glad to hear he has work. What's be doing? ' Boy Six months, with costs.
