The Washington times., 1914-03-22


Jean Eliot I've been this week
gathering up bits of news for you.
On the street car the other day heard
that the Vice President and Mrs Marshall
were going to the Orient, but know this is
not so. Mrs. Marshall said it was moi. She
is only sorry they are not going. However,
the Secretary of War and Mrs. Garrison will
probably go They are going to the Philip
pines and will doubtless visit the Orient as
well.
That the Secretary of State and Mrs.
Bryan are going for trip through South
America is another ruInor that | rather sus-
pect has fundamental, elemental, essence
of truth" in it. That is a pet phrase Of Senator
John Sharp, Williams, used by finI at the
suffrage debate at the Capitol the other day,
SO Lora tells me. She was there, of course.
Then, the other day at a tea party, some
one told men t1at Colonel and Mrs. Karmany
would undoubtedly leave Washington this
summer for Mare Island. I'm very sorry to
have them 60, for Mrs. Karmany is charm
ing woman and has made so many friends
here. Unfortunately, do not know the
colonel, but those who do, admire him. Of
course, suppose Mrs. Karmany wants to 60
because California is her home Both she
ard the colonel are inveterate solfers and,
you know, Susan. what golf is here and whzt
it is there. One can golf every day there.
Yes, Mrs. Burleson has gone to Texas
to visit her daughter. All the other Cabinet
folks are in town now. however
And, speaking of the Cabinet, must
not forget 10 tell you about two parties that
are to be given at Single Oak next week.
On Monday night the Secretary and Mrs.
Daniels are going to have dinner party,
followed by dance for their young son,
Josephus, who is home for the spring vaca-
tion from the Tome Institute School. think
these young folks parties that they give for
their boys are ideal. They are "sure-
enough young folks parties, too. None
of the sort where everyone has to be on fine
behavior with a lot of grown-ups sitting
about having all the fun, but party with all
the nice boys and girls your own age, whom
you like, and all the sort of games you like,
and the sort of sandwiches, ices, and candies
that you like. That is regular party. And
that is the sort the Daniels boys give. They
usually attend to the invitation list, the pro-
gram of events, and the menu themselves,
too, T., told.
Then there is another entertainment to
be given by Mrs. Daniels on Thursday after
rf,y m he
and certainly would like to be among the
guests. The party is for her mother, Mrs.
Bagley, and four of the latter's college
mates, who are in Washington. Years be-
fore the war Mrs. Bagley, who was a Miss
Worth, went to a little college up in Morris
town, Pa.-Oakand Seminary She made
special study of music, and one year, when
the spring festivities were given Miss Worth
was the queen of the cantata The music
that was played and sung for that occasion
will be given by Mrs. Bagley at this party
1hursdaJ. Another feature of the afternoon
will be reading a memory book which one
of the girls will bring. They are all over
seventy In this book each girl of their
graduating class wrote her name and an in
scription.
The Chevy Chase Club will come of age
on tuesday. Did you know that Susan? |
just bet you cid not. On March "a, 1898,
the club came into existence. 1t was just a
little hunt club with tiny little wood build
ing for the clubhouse. The incorporators
were Senator Newlands c. c. Glover, Henry
May, A. clifford Barney, Guy Fairfax Whit
ins, John B. Hooe, William H. slack, Will
liam M. Stewart, Carroll Mercer, H. Roz er
Dulaney, Craig W. Wadsworth, Henry M.
Earle, AMI Harvey Nj. Page. Thomas Hyde
was the first president with Frank A. Denny
as the vice president AM, George Howard as
secretary; then Senator Newlands was the
second pres dent, with Henry Earle the sec
retary-trcasurcr.
After while tie clubhouse became more
prosperous aid took the house which be-
tonged 20 Mrs. John Rodgers, and so on, until
