Some Baltimore Girls.

bVtuC b8Athnhtht .
The girls from Baltimore. and there
are such girls as Valerie Marburg. sis
ter OF Theodore Marburg. and Christine
van starkenborgh- stach6uwer. and
Eleanor Jencks among them. will ar
rive IN body tomorrow morning. IN
uniform, be 1t known. and will proceed
immediately to camp.
Several Of the state delegations are
also arriving in company formation. all
IN uniform, and It's all quite military.
Just one thing I'm wondering. and
that IL how Francise williams. Frances
Moore. Elizabeth Harding. all those
girls who love horses and are keen for
the Horse Show. will be able to stand
missing all the gay doings of Horse
show week.
And scarce peep at the ring will
they hive. for discipline Is to be strict
and "town leave" decidedly scarce.

Some Wonderings.
Ever since the Mall was made CHEEKY
by the blossoming OF the cherries and
everybody has felt under the necessity
of motoring-even walking, II there
wasn't a cut-rate gasoiene store handy
down to the river front to say Oh! and
All! ut 'em. have been indulging in
some wonderment with regard to the
lincoln Memorial.
The other day some of US walked
clear around It, and the artistic mem
Der OF the party talked learnedly about
the Acropolis and the Parthenon and
the Invalides and other old-time houses
around Europe. We were assured that

For had been very automatically
looking for the door. and. after circum-
navigating the pile twice. had convinced
myself that there wasn't any: not a
sign of an entrance. Back behind the
rows Of pillars that look like the Treas
ury front or the illustrations In Stod-
dard's Lectures, could see nothing
whatever but n solid white marble wall.
! guess they've forgotten to leave q
hole in IT, and II worries me awfully.
As the Memorial looks now. there Is
no contemplation OF anybody. going in
side. unless he climbs over. There may
be hole in the roof. or maybe no roof;
anyhow. there Is an immense derrick.
and it's possible they're going to pick
UP and hoist us in when We want to
pay our devotions at the shrine.
Do you happen to know whether the
Pericles Greeks. and those other old
chaps. used their temples for other than
decorative purposes? It seems TO me
an Immense lot Of good space Is going
TO be wasted unless they provide a way
TO get In and OUT.

May Power was telling me, too. OF
the troubles OF the Junior Auxiliary OF
the Providence Day Nursery. This was
organized a year or so ago with thirty
Ave members and 1t was resolved that
no married woman should be permitted
to serve. Now, by reason of that clause,
the association is being automatically
disbanded. as eighteen members have
already been married. Which would
seem to put the bridge club and the
Day Nursery Auxiliary in the class
with the White House.

A Bevy of Brides.


At Wyndham Riker's tea party on
Friday afternoon. found myself In a
very bevy OF brides and brides-to-be.
Two of them were the guests OF honor.
May Power and Dorothy Brooks Hol-
Combe, and in the group of pretty as
sistants were Dorothy Taylor, whose
enga cement was announced last week;
Hanna Taylor. who like May Power.
has chosen the month of May for her
wedding, and Julia Heyl colquitt who
may still lay claim to being bride.
Curiously enough all of these girls
are members of a little bridge club
which has been meeting regularly for
the past two or three years, and all OF
them have announced their engage
ments within the last year or so. It's
one of the unwritten bylaws of the
club that its members shall be told first
OF the engagement of one of their num-
Der; and 1t SO happened that Dorothy
Brooks and Hanna Taylor sprang their
bits o. news at the same meeting. On
that day. too, May Power was discov-
cred with suspicious looking ring mark
on the third finger of her left hand.
Now there are but two members OF
the club who are neither married nor en-
gaged-and it's whispered among those
who should be Sin the know" that they
are not--well, disengaged.

Young stock should always be
trained to handle readily before going

all four feet, with head up, makes a

PLY for Mr.. Marshall, the errors which

will figure largely in the canvass, are
not of his committing. Wilson, the
democratic record, the misdeeds of
