Chevy Chase organization is a sub

master the grace of walking well in
their youth seem to lose it in old age.
Watch an old woman walking; in nine

is half the battle.
But-there will be many dissent

Alsatian Bows.

One of the most fashionable acces,
series to bridesmaids costumes at
present are the Alsatian bows for the
hair. These are especially suitable for
young girls, either for the occasions
of weddings or for evening functions.
They are exceedingly dashing in ap-
pearance and yet very simple, and are
much more becoming to young girls
than feather or aigrette ornaments.
while they are also newer though not
more becoming than the leaf or flower
wreaths.
The bow goes directly in front, a
twisted piece Of the material going
around the high couture as a snood.
The bows may be made either of gauze
sprinkled with crystals, gold spangles,
ETC., of liberty satin or velvet to match
or contrast with the costume, or of
cloth Of gold or silver. The bow is
quite large and very jaunty.

Most of the big pins hold a single

the brooch, for the setting is simply
a narrow rim about it. Transparent
stones are not, as rule, backed with

TT has developed that the Perry Bel
i monts have suffered a rebuke in
their attempt to break into" Wash
ington society. Mr.. Belmont has been
rejected as a member Of the Chevy
Chase Hunt club, and this action has
brought to a climax a sensational So
DIAL situation.
The fact that there has been all
winter a social campaign for and
against Mr. and Mrs. Perry Belmont
into which. all their New York connec-
tions-the other Belmonts, Sloanes
and Astors-have been drawn, makes
this social tempest of wider proper
lions than those which are ordinarily
discovered in teapots.
What is, perhaps, the most curious
part of the situation lies in the fact
that Mr.. Belmont is an active men,

teacher would call on a pupil to
make the answer. Although more
! than a score of questions were asked,
In no instance was an incorrect an
5wer given. The principal was so
pleased at the result that he made
| special reference to Miss Dash's pro-
dciency as a teacher in each of the
class-rooms he visited.
Probably envy was caused by the
fact that in no other classroom did
the pupils seem to be so well up in
their studies. One of the teachers,

tigation and succeeded in gaining the
confidence of one of the boys under

Now, Johnny" said she, how is it
that all you boys know the an

If You did"
Miss Dash tells us all to put up
our hands when the question is asked.
We boys who don't know the answer
put up our left hands, and the boys
who know the answer put up their
right hands, and then Miss Dash only
asks the boys who have right
