OTHER COSBY TOPICS

1t would be very unappreciative person
indeed who would not be stirred by the at
tractive features of the Easter program
after the past six weeks, when only din
ner-giving broke the stiffness and nothing
more thrilling disturbed the quiet than the
meetings at which were arranged the spring
charity performances. OF course, the last
few days have contributed more than their
share of topics toward lubricating the wag
ging tongue, for during that period one Of
the QuieteSt Of Washington homes has
been suddenly transformed into a center
from which may now be expected daily
statements, platforms, plans and other ag-
gravating forms by which the ambitious
must always WOO the object they desire.
Like other great folks and following dis
tirguished precedents. the newest aspirant
for White House residence has provided
a retreat from the madding excitement of
the city, and much of the interest which
has been expended on the famous home on
Rhode Island avenue will now be diverted
to Woodley Lane, where Admiral and Mrs
Dewey expect to reside until their departure
for the west.
The main interest, however Of the Easter
revival will naturally be given to the brides
and grooms. The sentiment for Wednesday

those so far announced will take place on

already long. is being daily heightened.

that pleasure with large gathering Of
relatives and intimate friends of the groom

There is city in this country where
,x,at 10
life lasts longer in the public mind Or re-
quires less to reanimate 1t than here. The
ups and downs which come to the average
mortal strike keenly where persons come in
frequent contact as is possible in a city
the size of the capital. One of the dis
inguishing traits of the diplomatic corps is
a remembrance of the courtesies which are
due Its members or their memories. This
