told. The Garrisons will be in her box party
Monday night.
Do we have lenten diversions that are not
charity affairs? Of course we do Why, at
the Chevy Chase Club every Tuesday even-
ing you can see MT. and Mrs. Ornlsby Nc
Cannon, closely followed by the Fleming
Newbolds, the William Payne Merediths, the
George T. Wheelers, the Charlie Hagners,
the James ]. Mitchels, the George c. Min
nigerodes, and'some others whom l cannot
think of, making for the bowling alleys.
They have standing date to bowl during
Lent and they are very enthusiastic about it
too. The McCammons are the leadins spirits
and organized the party, think.
Music as sung by Mme Julia CuIp and
played by Katherine Goodson has charms
that even policemen and footmen cannot re-
sist
At the Culp- -Goodson concert in the New
National the other afternoon | was amused
to see the big, good-natured looking police
men followed by the White House footman
tip-toe in to catch few strains. So fascin-
ated were they (for even policemen and
footmen have the soul of music in them)
that for a brief half hour or so, that particu-
lar locality was without guardian of the
law and the White House chauffeur sat in
state and solitude
It's an i'll wind that blows no good. Did
you ever think that? 1t is so, Susan, be-
cause little Mrs. Edgar Logan Hill, of
Worcester, Mass, who has been passing
the last six weeks in town visiting her nus
bands mother, Mrs. Gillett-Hill in R street,
was unable to depart Monday as she had
planned on account of the heavy windstornr
here
Little Mrs. Hill (eveyone calls her that
had dandy time here and she made no end
of friends. She is very pretty, of the slender
blonde type with beautiful blue eyes,
Two of our charming visitors did leave
Washington Tuesday in Mrs. Pruym, of AL
bany, N. Y, and her daus shter Agnes Pruym.
They have been here nearly all winter at the
Willard and they are now visiting Agnes
brother down in Galveston, where he is sta.

Agnes Pruym is beautiful dancer
Monday night at the supper dansant at the
Willard she and Garrett Carlisle, otherwise
known as Billy White (why, | don't know
did the maxixie so we'll that before they
realized what had happened all the other
dancers had stopped and were watching
them do a little exhibition dance of their
own. Mrs. Pruym, Miss Pruym, Mr.. Car
Isle, and a number of other folks were men,
bers of a great big party that Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hight were entertaining that night.
At another table was Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Daniell of Portsmouth, N. H., and their
brother, Warren Fisher Daniel, of Franklin,
N. H., and some other guests. The Daniel
party arrived in Washington the latter part
of last week from New York, where they had
been having their usual winter visit, and
they expected to return on Monday but that

last week, when she came to Washington to
visit her nephew, say that at the White House
al reception recently. What wonderful
aigrettes and jewels and flowers they wear.'
Just then Countess Won Bernstorff passed
and her superb diamond tiara which is
veritable crown, fairly dazzed the little
woman.
Pretty soon the Viscountess day stroIled
down the red corridor, and she wore the dia-
mond and platinum butterfly which you al
ways admired so much, then a little woman
with wreath of flowers that reminded me
of Ophelia somewhat, and then charming
young girl with pert white aigrette, fasten-
