She’s made extra preparations to take care of the Sesqui-Centennial, to be Sure, but normally her nunfber of out-of- town visitors Is about a station­ ery quantity, from year’s end to year's end. Washington ts aeçustomed to a heavy seasonal variation. Now, In her off season, she sees a pros­ pect of a big crop of tourists.
