her stay at the cottage are not very

source OF great pleasure. They had their pic

bright career.

Mr. Russell Harrison Is here TO spend Sunday

other day, said that she would return the middle

Home Lawn tennis, another charming way to
kill time, is not abandoned yet by any means,
although the players present such wiited spec
tacles after a vigorous game that it takes all of
one's strength OF mind to suffer and make no
sign. The court at the British legation is gen
orally in active service every AFTERNOON. Sir
Julian himself, with a couple of his young Sec
retaries, with young lady or two, manage to
get great deal of pleasure upon these occa-
sions. There are chairs drawn up I'm a corner
OF the garden, around lemonade pitcher and
glasses, where not only the PLAYERS but the
guests may refresh themselves. Sir Julian
makes a rather picturesque figure himself on
these occasions. being robed in white linen and
his genial face shaded BY q wide Panama.

Inc washington CiuD mas caught the con-
tagion Of the lazy existence popular at this
season Of the year, and its threshold is not as
frequently passed over as II WAS during the
first weeks OF its organization. Out of its
membership Of 160 or ITO only about fifteen
enjoy the advantages OF the club. There was
bit of a scare and good deal of sarcastic
crincism IN the start that the formation OF
among a class n, wonaan who:s ararnnio oa ,e

no danger OF that, for whatever visits the men,
bers have made to the club rooms during the
day, never a woman Of them has crossed its
threshold at night OF course the more enthu-
