librarian of Congress, addressed the Wom-
ans National Press Association at the Octo-

sonal Observations in SPAIN
DR.. Spofford returned recently from
spending the summer in Spain and his re-
marks contained much that delighted his
hearers they followed him through the
Straits of Gibraltar, to Granada, Seville,
Toledo, Cordova, Madrid and other cities
According to his impressions, the gentlemen
of Spain are more polite and better dressed
than those of Paris, while the women are
more beautiful than their clothes, which
are of Partisan make.
In the library of Madrid DIR. Spofford was
told that women were scarcely ever ad-
mitted as readers, and though according to
statistics the Spanish are amply provided
with educational advantages, the funds
therefor are usually confined to paper
THE people of Spain are the Mark Tap
leys of the human race" said DIR. Spot
ford land few of them emigrate to other
lands"
AS the speaker had refused to see Span
ish bull fight, Mrs. Charles NJ. Pepper de-

FORT MYER ENTERTAINMENTS.
Women's Army and Navy League Ar
ranging for Gala Day.

The members of the Womens Army and
Navy League are making preparations for
an entertainment at Fort Myer November
II, which will be the biggest thing of the
kind that has been given in the District
since the war with Spain. 1t is probable
that even at the many fairs given for the
benefit Of the soldiery at that time there
was not such complete program arranged
nor such varied list of attractions pre-
pared for the entertainment of the visitors
The work of this organization is for the
enlisted men of the army and navy. Its
purpose is to give the soldiers and sailors
of the United States such comforts as the
government does not provide and which are
calculated to make their service easier and
more attractive. The league covers the
entire army and navy. and the things 1t
does are for all posts garrisons and ships.
and not for those located in this section Of
the country
The entertainment to be given at Fort
Myer will be the first this season. and will
set standard for others that will follow.
Advantage Is being taken of the fact that
there are two squadrons of cavalry and two
bands stationed at the post now, and the
rough riders of both squadrons are to be
used in providing entertainment for the
patrons of the league Two drills will be
given in the enlarged riding hall during the
afternoon, at and o'clock. respectively.
The crack troop of the 18th cavalry will APP
pear on one of these occasions, and the
crack troop Of the 9TH will appear at the
other 1t Is probable also that the two
batteries of artillery regularly stationed at
Fort Myer will have returned from target
practice by that time, and that one of these
will take part in the drill.
These drills will inaugurate the exhibition
drill season in the enlarged riding hall.
Since last winter contractors have been at
work on the riding hall. and it has been ex-
tended twenty feet. A new gallery has
been erected at the south end of the hall.
and the capacity of the hall for spectators
has been doubled. In addition to the drills
that are to be given in the hall. concerts
will be given by the bands of the It'll and
18th Cavalry Regiments. and there will be
dancing in the administration building. A
vaudeville entertainment will be given at
the administration building, and booths
will be erected in the gymnasium at the
post exchange for the sale of fancy work
Here will also be rummage sale, fortune
teller's stand and many other like attrac-
lions. The entire day and evening Is to be
given over to the members of the league
by the army people and the post.
