Among the ultra fashionable set in
Washington golf is the latest craze. The
stores have ceased advertising their lat
est designs as cycling suits, now Civ
ing the short skirts and natty jackets
the newer designation '-Solfing gowns
The most popular links are those of
the Washington Golf club on Arlington
Heights. Of which Miss Josephine Pat
ton, q well known and skillfui golfer,
is the president Of the ladies' aux
Hilary One of the most interesting
golfng events is the match now being
played by the ladies for a handsome
cup to be given to the fair winner who
proves herself the most expert in the
handicap of IS holes. The picture pre-
scented by the contestants is well worth
seeing, for the dress is most becoming,
and, like tennis, golf affords the agile
and graceful players an opportunity to
exhibit their skill while striking many
unconscious poses that setoff their trim
figures to advantage. As many of the
ladies in the club are evenly matched,
the result is looked for with interest.
Among those who are best known of
the competitors are the Misses Board
man, Miss Helen McKeever and Miss
Kate Brice, the popular daughter Of
the former senator.
At a recent Thursday matinee given
at the Lafayette Opera House by the
Trinity college students Mrs. McKin-

touched her by reaching out my hand.
She wore a magnificent pair of solitaire
diamond earrings and was gowned in
handsome black velvet, the vest being
of cream white satin covered with
white and gold chiffon. The neck and
sleeves Of the gown were finished with
soft full chiffon ruchings, and through
the slashings of the bodice al the darts
were small puffs of the white satin
daintily veifed with the chiffon like the
vest. Her bonnet was a pretty little
French toGue, all black, except the
white digret and cut steel ornaments,
and it was tied under the chin with
narrow black velvet strings.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
Mrs. Mckinley is very feeble. She came
in leaning heavily upon the arm of Mr..
Dawes, one of the friends visiting her,
and in her hand she carried strong
gold headed cane. She walks with
unusual difficulty, and her pale and
pathetic face proclaims the invalid. 1t
is not generally known that Mrs. Nc
Kinley's hair is cut short. but such is
the case. II has natural wave, how
ever. and curls up prettily at the back
of the neck and is not at all unbecom-
ing, as is so often the case.
Others in the party from the White
House were Mrs. Borden, Mrs. SaXton
and son and Mrs. ]. Addison Porter,
wife of the presidents secretary. Mrs.
Porter looked particularly girlish in

How 70 Put on New Gloves.

First shake little powder in the
glove, then place your elbow firmly on
the table, the hand upright, the thumb
at right angles with the palm. Draw
the body of the glove over the fingers
and arrange each digit in the glove fin
ger intended for 1t. See that the seams
are not twisted. Carefully coax on the
fingers, and when they are fitted smooth
tho bacl. stitching into place. Then in
sert the tlhnb, the back seams again
being pulled up straight and the wrist
buttoned. The seam at the tip of the
thumb should be on line with the mid
die Of the thumb nail. Always fasten
the second button first.
1t is a great mistake to buy gloves a
size too small. Many ladies squeeze
their hands into tight gloves and expect
them to fit. Ladies with large hands
who wish to keep them pretty and con-
oeal their size should buy gloves trifle
larger than necessary.
