In Davenport. Iowa, annexing a bride, the
Treasury team has suffered a bad slump
which has finally displaced 1t from the
leadership of the Departmental Bowling
League. The money counters. never reck-
oned championship possibility, have made
gallant stand. They have always occu-
pied lowly position in every race for tie
championship, and when they assumed
the lead this season the opinion Of many
experts was that they would rapidly fade
away" They held on gamely, however,
for several sets. covering over months
bowling, but In the last two weeks they
have lost their stride. while the Interiors
in their last two sets have shown the form
which won them the championship. and
jumped to the front in the race for first
honors and the cup. The ex-champions have
been fortunate In coping the winning end
OF the score with low totals in many games,
but recently their opponents have had no
hard luck" tales, as the Interiorites have
bowled great ten pins and won on merit
their present exalted position.
BY their recent spirit the Commissioners
have pulled up into third place. being only
one game behind the Treasury, and incl
dentally have increased their team average
several points.

erages Charlie Lennon Of the Interiors by

Leaders In the League Tied-Complete
Roster Of the Teams Of
the League.

A genuine surprise was sprung In the
departmental chess tournament last Mon
day night, when the State Department de-
feated the strong Interior aggregation by
score Of 2h to IA. This outcome was
totally unexpected. even by the most
sanguine supporters of the four picked Dip
lomats who represented the foreign office,
and a tie score was the best that was
looked for by any one. Great. therefore,
was the excitement when II became appar-
emit not only that State could easily secure
a tie. but that a win was more than prob
able. Interest finally centered at the board
over which Aten OF State and Beatty of
Interior were engaged In belated game.
This. II won by the latter. would have tied
the score. When. after a series of exciting
maneuvers, Mr.. Aten pushed matters to "a
draw, thus landing the victory for his side,
he was the recipient of many hearty con-
gratulations from his team mates.
The result of this match makes IT appar-
ent that State is a potent factor in the race,
and must be reckoned with by any team
which aspires to land the pennant.
The adjourned game between Webster of
Navy and Hitchcock Of Agriculture was
continued also. and won By Navy, this be-
ing the deciding game of the unfinished
match between these two teams. The final
score was Navy, 31a; Agriculture, "a.

Brilliant Card Party Marks the Decline

One of the first of the social affairs
small and informal took place yes
terday afternoon at the Woman's

Frank, Mrs. M c. Adler and Mrs.
Fred Sterns, were hostesses at a bril-
liant card party.
Since the society folk returned from
the summer outings there has been one
delightful round of social informality,
and small teas and card parties have
been popular. The order of affairs will
be changed during the weeks to come,
and many large functions will add
briliance to the season.
Nearly 100 guests were entertained
at yesterdays affair and all appoint
ments were elaborate.
Miss Waite had charge of the deco
rating and many unique features were
introduced. Chrysanthemums were
the blossoms used on the lower floor
where the whist tables were arranged.
Blossoms of the large yellow variety
were used in the middle parlor, ar
ranged in baskets and banking the
mantel. Pink flowers decided the color
tones in one of the other parlors, and
bronze chrysanthemums were effective
in other of the rooms.
In the banquet room above stairs re-
freshments were served. The guests
We're seated at seven large tables,
places being laid at each for twelve.
The room was canopied with smilaX
and the lights were shaded in delicate
colors, carrying out the color ideas of
the various tables. Upon every table
a distinctive decorative scheme had
been perfected. On one a mound of
maidenhair ferns and pale green tulle
occupied the central position. On three
there were beautiful baskets, one of
Mamon Cochet roses, a second of yellow
chrysanthemums tied with yellow satin
ribbon and third of pink carnations
White tulle and white chrysanthemums
were combined on another table, while
ar. equally effective arrangement was
a basket of blue delphinium. yellow
marigolds and red daisies. The most
elaborate design was star-shaped af-
fair in liberty roses and ferns.
The hostesses were all elaborately
gowned and many handsome costumes
were worn for the first time by guests.
