Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Woman of It A Woman you ought to know sat watching the mild eddy of a hotel lobby in Washington. It was one of the smaller hotels - overgrown boarding-houses in reality - which cater to the more domestic members of the House of Representatives. The proprietor, according to his lights, had even made certain decorative attempts in keeping with the official character of his patrons. The Stars and Stripes topped the rear alcove where the clerks had their desk; steel engravings of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and the President in office hung here and there; and a stuffed eagle, presumably emblematic, perched jauntily above the telephone-booth. That national institution, the rocking-chair, was also in marked favor. There was rather too much red in the walls and rugs, and a too lavish use of electricity; but the effect as a whole was cheerful.
