federation. Since its inception the
chapter has had but four presi-
dents-Mrs. Marie w. Hodgkins,
Mrs. w. E. Andrews, Mrs Margaret
c. Buell. and Mrs. Frank Fuller.
Though the chapter has done q
broad philanthropic and reform
work. 1t Is primarily a literary So
ciety, and It has continued Its study
In conjunction with its other activi-
ties. Members began the study of
Shakespeare in the first year of the
chapters formation. Then a two-
year course Of American history was
completed and that subject was
found so interesting that three years
more was spent in studying the his
tory Of this country. Then the mem-
bers spent a season in writing book
reviews. Last year the municipal

REAPING A PROFIT.

That this country is beginning to
reap some advantage from the Eu-
copean war is evidenced by the es-
sablishment between the United
States, on the one hand, and Argen-
una and Brazil, on the other, of a d.
rect exchange of financial credits
The plan was fostered by the Ma
tional City Bank of New York and Is
believed to presage a great increase
of trade.
By the exchange of credits Ameri-
can importers doing business with
the Argentine and Brazil will be able
to pay cash for their purchases with
out having the business done
through London. 1t is expected that
the volume of coffee and crude rub
Der will move direct to the United
States rather than to London and
that it will soon be accompanied by
the export of large amounts OF
American manufactures to Rio and
Buenos Ayres.
1t all means, according to one en-
thusiastic commentator, that the dol
lar and no: the pound sterling will
be hereafter the basis OF South
American exchange. 1t means GER
tainly large additions to our business
with South America.

Starting as College Sorority,
Scope Has Been Broadened
Until All Deemed Worthy
May Be Admitted.

Neatly half century ago seven
girls of a Western college formed a
secret society which was destined
to become a nationwide ohgtniza-
tion Nth more than 10000 men,
bers. That organization is the P
E. o.
A fIounshing chapter of ths P.
E. o. is Chapter B, of Washin gton,
which has found time for much
community welfare work in ,1ddi-
tion to the pursuit of literary Stud
les, which is the main purpose IF
the organization.
Ont of this chapter grew the
Day Nursery and Dispensary Asso-
citation, and the Federation Of
Women's Clubs has found the
chapter a paluable ally in many re-
forms it has undertaken.

Grafton Of women's Clubs. Members
OF this chapter believe that their
ideals find concrete expression in
the broad work undertaken by the
federation.
Tho national society. now 16.000
strong, was the outgrowth Of an al
lance formed by seven girls Of the
University Of Mt. Pleasant. Iowa, In
1869. Though one of these young
women was but sixteen years old.
and all Of them were young, the
constitution they wrote and the
obligations they outlined still are fol-
lowed by the hundreds Of chapters Of
the order.
Begun As College Sorority.
For a while the society corre-
sponded to the sororities existing In
many colleges. But in the eighties.
when fraternities and sororities alike
adopted the Greek letter designa-
tions. the P. E. o. retained Its Eng
lish initials and decided to broaden
its scope Of membership to include
everyone considered worthy to take
the obligation. Membership Is by In
vitation only.

tivity Of the national body IN which

of girls who needed financial aid,
Since that time forty girls have been
kept In school from one to four
years with the help Of this fund.

THE CITYS PLAY
GROUNDS.

One of the most popular features
Of Potomac Park, as far as the
Washington public is concerned, is
the long array Of tennis courts,
which afford playground for men
and women who need relaxation from
their daily labors.
There are ten of the courts in the
park, just south of B street and west
of Seventeenth street. They are in
great demand. Nine more are build
ing, and by next spring there will be
nineteen courts, as good as can be
found, and all for the public use.
Rut-and this is a significant but
these tennis courts, like so many
other valuable features Of Potomac
Park, and of Rock Creek Park, are
conveniently available only to those
fortunate classes who own automo-
lilies or other vehicles. This par
ticular class of our citisenry is the
group that can and does support
country clubs and other outdoor
clubs. They can easily afford their
club for play purposes.
On the other hand, the majority of
men and women who work in Offices
and shops, and who cannot afford
their expensive club, are far removed
from this playground. They must
walk the great distance from the
nearest car line, in reaching the
courts and in returning. 70 most Of
them this long walk is too great a
tax for them to avail themselves of
this healthful play opportunity.
1t would seem that this affords an
other excellent reason why there
should be some cheap and readily
available means of transportation to
these two great parks.
Then, too, in Montrose Park, in
Georgetown, bordering a great resi-
dence section, the oldest in the city,
the Office of Public Buildings and
Grounds has installed a tennis court
for the use of the public. The popu-
larity Of this court is overwhelming
ly attested. Any attache Of the Of
fee or employe of the park will tell
you that this court is going from
daylight until dark every day. 1t
is always crowded. 1t is handy to
ill the residents of upper George
town, but there is only one court,
ard comparatively few can play. An
other, or better still, others are need
ed. A census of visitors to the park |
will show that of all who enter its
beautiful confines a majority go
there to play tennis. Those who play
are considerate. There are few per-
mittees who, having a right to the
court for a given hour, will not vol |
give way to others. 1t has
come to be common practice that
the players there. play set or two
and then rest TO give others chance,
regardless of permits, taking turn
about and giving all slight oppor-
tuiity.
No provision is being made at this
time for another court, or courts, in
Montrose Park. That there is room
for others cannot be gainsaid, but
the general plan as laid out, did not
contemplate big playground.
Wouldn't it be reasonable under the
to change the plan?
