' 111 Sixth street, near Waahlngton. ; Have you aver been In a ritualistic church oa a lasy, droning June day In vacation and seen a group of newly confirmed girls kneeling devouUy In their pews, murmuring reaponaea In the accepted place and simultaneously bob blng their heada about to ae what la going on elsewhere, but never for a moment forgetting th responses? And have you ever seen the non kneejlng aodltnce sitting there talking in whisper to on another with no at tention to th mumbling of th good people? Her and there yon hav noted a newcomer to whom th ceremonies are all Strang, who watches th pro ceedings with anxious: eyes lest h miss something? And have you noted the usher leaning against tb wall la tha back or engaging visitor In conversa tion, yet always ready to awaken ahould something of interest happen? Though if all have you obaerved th deadly calm and stupor enlivened only by a sort , of expectant air that something may hap pen to break the monotony? , ; -' ' I ,.' Just aa It looks. .' ' . ' ' If you. have you need not go to a city council meeting for you already know it as it appears to an outsider. Mayor Lane ' plays the part of the girl who rumbles her reaponaea unfailingly, and usually -oorrootly. though- no on could prove It, for they are mumbled so that only tb secretary could find tha place ln-th prayer book and ha only through long custom. Th mayor sits twirling a paper lamplighter made by his own deft fingers and takes In from his posi tion of vantage every comer and every speaker and puts In his little "Lord be merciful" when th secretary, th city auditor, drops Ma vole in reading. Gathered in th pews around about him are th non-responding audience of oouncllmsn who now and thsn join in a hymn just to keep from being left out entirely. But they hav a comfort able .chat among themselves while th secretary-priest and tb wide-eyed girl exchange reaponaea ' ' Among them Is a newly elected coun cilman to whoa all things are as a new country and t follows carefully every word of the service. . He will know soon and will loin th ranks of ths ex perienced. And a band of outsider In terested la certain parts of th srvie lean against th wall and engage aach other la conversation - and semi-occa-alonally direct another visitor as to whst be Is entering. 1 ', .

"Petition of so-and-so la th matter of this-and-that, to." -. "Commute on ways and means." '' "Petition of tnls-and-that In th mat ter f so-and-so."- "Commute on treets.", Now and then on f th congregation moves that th courtesy of th pulpit be extended to Judgs Somsthing-or-other. . And to aa onlooker th courtesy of tb floor seems to mean a chance to talk while th council men rock In their chairs and yawn or go calling on their friends, th secretary and clrk chat comfortably to man with new petitions, th' mayor surreys his audience and listens with on ear as he twirls his lamplighter, th reporter throw their leg over their chair and nap lastly, and ths only ones listening are a few nf th visitors who hav no vot in th matter anyway. , -.

And now and then th blue eoated officer salutes th mayor and Is requested to gather th attendance from tb ball, which h goes out to do and eomea back with a smile of eatlafaotlon at a duty wall par formed but with no attendance. . Visitors walk up and dowa between th handsome marble pillars or sit on th radiators or come la dragging a chair and patiently wait for whatever haa brought them there.
