WINTER PLANS
 OF SOCIAL WASHINGTON

Washington society is wondering just now how far the hand of death is to blight the capitals winter season. The War ,n Europe will be the means of throwing a decided damper over the spir- it's of many who were wont to brilliantly entertain during the winter season. The embassies of France, Russia and Ger many, for example, foremost among the ceHters of hospitality last year, will doubtless be an unknown quantity in the social life of the winter The etiquette of court circles in Europe is so strict in regard to such matters that the pro cipitated by the war is nicely laid down, even if the personal feelings of the di- lomats were not narrowed as they are by the daily reports from the battle fields of Europe, which convey tidings of the terrific toll of death. It is out of the question to suppose that there will be any actual social life al all in the Eu- ropean colony so long as the war lasts. Some of the women were leaders in the fashionable affairs of the colony and will probably not return to America at all this winter. Lady Spring Rice wife of the British ambassador is still in Eng land, .where she went early in the sum- mer and has set no date for her return here. Mime. Dumba wife of the Austro- Hunga rian ambassador is in Europe and her return is among the many uncer- tainties of the times.

 My brother and l did q lot of gymnas- ties, and finally we went to see Sandow, and he was the main inspiration for us becoming professionals. We studied the Sandow system and one of the ramark- able features of this system is the de- velopment of soft muscle instead of a hard muscle.
 I thought it was always just the other way" I observed.
 That Is a mistaken idea entirely, said MT. Bellclair "A hard muscle has no endurance whatever; it cant last any time, but soft, pliable muscle can stand the test of endurance, strength and ev- e1ything that is necessary to make the perfect athlete.''
