er. is the taking of "health dances"
in the open-air roof garden of her

says she intends to take these dances

them she is clad principally In a smile,
which shows some very fine white
teeth, and a Greek robe of white tulle,
or something of that character, and
sandals or bare feet. She says she
depends entirely upon the circulation
of her blood to keep her warm. Mrs.

where the foundation te now being
laid. There was a good deal of trouble
over selecting a design for the statue.
One made by O'Connor and accepted
by the congressional commission was
very seriously objected to by promi-
nent members of the Irish-American
society. So the O'Conner plans were
rejected, nnd a design which Is the
work of John J. Boyle, a New York

by the national commission of fine

too much education.
GREATEST PUBLIC LIBRARY
Washington Ahead of Other Cities in
Results Obtained, but Behind
in Salarit*.
The annual report of the District
public library, which was given out
the other day. is of literest for two
reasons the economy shown in the
local system, as compared with other

ployes. The growth of the institution
and the spread of its work are also
noticeable features.
The available cost of *iome clrcula j
tion of books In 2(1 < it'les of more
lhan 200,000 population is placed at j
13 cents, according to the report, while j
he similar item in this city Is placed I
at ten cents a volume. The librarian

Charwomen are still paid $180 a year,
as against a minimum of $240 a year
elBewhere; many regular assistants,
professional librarians, are paid $480
and $540 a year, when the minimum
pay for merely clerical work else-
where In the government service is
$720."
The treasurer's report shows that
the total expenditures during the
year amounted to $68,307.08, with re-
ceipts, mainly from congressional aj>-
