TRIP TO BERMUDA.
Mr.. WiIlard's Personally Conducted
Party Success.

Mr. "llIarda Personally Conducted
Party a Success.
A large party made a delightful platform
trip Saturday evening to Bermuda and the
Windward Islands. The leader and con-
ductor was Mr.. Henry K. Willard, who
demonstrated that he not only knew how
to travel, but he had the ability to talk in
an interesting fashion about what he had
seen and heard. Mr.. Willard served the
double purpose of entertaining his friends
by an account of his recent cruise to the
West Indies Islands, and of making a SUBJ
staItial contribution to the treasury of
Garfield Hospital. The entertainment was
for the benefit of the Ladies' Aid Society of
the hospital, and the arrangements were
made by Mrs. Miranda Tulloch and Miss
Lena Burchell, Miss Jessie Vivian Kerr,
Mrs. Jennie Cooper Wilson and Mr.. H. L.
Murdoch contributed musical selections,
and Mr.. B. H. Warner. who accompanied
Mr.. Willard on the trip, presided and said
a few Introductory words and also sand
WICKED in few remarks when the occasion
seemed to demand it. He encountered very
happily one of those incidents which are IL
able 20 happen on such occasions, for after
the audience had assembled and the en-
tertainment was about to open the electric
lights suddenly refused to shine. Mr.. War
ner utilized the incident to make some
witty and otherwise pertinent observations
on the SUBJECT OIL corporations. In the
meantime the janitor hustled around and
lit the gas. By the time the latter had
been accomplished the electric lights fash
ed up again, which caused Mr.. Warner to
observe that this showed the effect of COM
petition for soon as the gas was lighted
the electric light improved.
Mr.. Wizards appearance on the platform
was the signal for hearty greeting on the
part of the audience, and after few pleas
ant words of acknowledgment he began his
account of the trip. The lights were turned
down and a series of interesting photo
graphs of the scenery and of the people in
those islands of the sea were projected
upon a screen. Mr.. Willard gave an inter-
esting description of the various islands,
the beautiful scenery and the customs of
the people During the trip Mr.. Willard
kept a daily journal, which was largely
utilized in his lecture. He touched upon
the little incidents which mark the appear
ance of q traveller, and also gave much in
formation of value in regard to the various
islands which he visited.

EASTER SUNDAY CROWDS.
The Weather Was Unpropitious for .
General Display of Finery.

General Display of Finery.
Easter Sunday was not propitious in
meteorological sense for the display of
spring finery, with which the female, as
we'll as large portion Of the male popula-
ton. ordinarily make it notable. The early
morning was raw and chilly. and as the
sun got higher its warmth was not suffi-
cient to induce the wise to don thin duds
fresh from the dressmaker. There were
many, however, who ran the risk of a cold
or the neuralgia in order to do the day it's
full honor. and at late church there were
many striking toilets seen. In the matter
OF hats. however, the weather was not
taken into consideration by the gentle sex.
Every woman seemed to have a new crea-
ton on her head. and every creation ap-
peared to be a section Of the brightest spot
IN a luxuriant conservatory. Looking
uCWn from the gallery on the congregati ton
OF any OF the fashionable churches gave
enc the impression of viewing a parterre
OF mowers, so generously were the bonnets
and mats decorated with their ornamental
ton. The churches were crowded, too at
all the services. At the early masses in
me Cathohc and the early services in the
episcopal churches thousands of persons
partook of their Easter communion, and in
the catholic churches particularly, whose
parlsnloners regard the partaking of the
molly sacrament at Easter as necessary
something tremendous. At IL O'Clock every
church in Washington was crowded to its
capacity, and in those where the musical
portion OF the service was made feature
II was impossible for late corners to secure
even standing ROOM
Ihere were large crowds on the fayorite
promenades during the early afternoon.
but the 5 o'clock throngs that usually make
the uptown avenues so picturesque on
Easter Sundays were kept indoors by the
ram ana the threatening appearance of the
SKIES that preceded 1t. Many who had the
nard1hood to scorn the weather signs had
their new toggery ruined, and two young
girls who were caught umbrellaless in the
shower on 14th street near Franklin square
We're clad in light plaid dresses, in which
the dyes were not set and when they
reached nearby drug store they had a
run-together appearance that would have
made color impressonist have a fit of
ecstasy.
Those who ride in their chaises and those
VINO had the means and the inclination to
nlre vehicles. were out in unusual numbers.
ana all the drives around the city were
crowded with carriages while rapid driy-
ing was out of the question. A big thronR
visited the zoo. and most of it there In the
evening got wet The children were the
most disappointed of the local Inhabitants
over the weather end of Easter Sunday,
because every drop Of rain that fell drown
ed their hopes Of a glorious egg-roIling
time In the Presidents grounds today.

Thomas pretends to be fortune teller.
He canvasses from house to house, en-
deavoring to reveal to the inmates their
