moonlight more alluring than long
sessions in the ballroom.
From 3 to $50 o'clock each day,
the smart world attended the Horse
Show. Some few lovers of sport
came earlier and remained longer,
but those intent on viewing society
en- masse found the later hours more
profitable, since such an arrange
ment gave milady ample time to
visit the Octagon House fete and
enjoy a short spin in Potomac Park
before dining. From all outward
appearances, and judging by the
smart equipages which lined the
curbs around Octagon House of an
afternoon, the British benefit was
an immense success. The bit of a
rainstorm which marred the opening
hours was succeeded by the very
best brand of garden party weather
and the moon was a faithful con-
tributor to the loveliness of the
evening entertainments. Seldom have
such distinguished patrons been
identified with a charity benefit as
on this occasion, when the very
creme de Ia creme of the society
set devoted, not only their influ-
cnce, but their active services as
we'll, to the success of the affair, and
the array of professional talent
cuIled from the theatrical world
was OF the highest order.
St. Johns Orphanage was the
beneficiary at a tea and sale yes
terday when a smart attendance pur-
chased lavishly that the little ones
OF the home may have the direly
needed playground accessories to
complete the equipment of their new
abode. The Daughters Of the Con-
federacy also contributed to the
events of yesterday when they
staged a charming little innovation
in entertainment which is called a
Vaudeville tea" The idea was
borrowed from Pacific coast func-
tions and met with an immediate
success here, since it offers some
thing diverting to the most exacting
and blase taste.
An engagement in the Diplomatic
Corps which interests the society set
at the Capital is that of Miss Sara
Raybaud and Mr.. Abel V. Ezeyza,
of Argentina. Miss Raybaud is the
charming daughter Of the Military
Attache of the Argentine Embassy
and Nine. Raybaud, who took such
a prominent part in the social &C
tivities of the season, The wedding
will take place on Saturday, May
20, at high noon at St. Matthew's
Church, and a breakfast will follow
at the Raybaud residence in Mas
sachusetts avenue. In the bridal
party will be Miss Raybaud's sis
ters, Miss Alcira Raybaud, as maid
of honor, and Miss Grynga Ray
baud and Miss Zelena Raybaud as
bridesmaids; Miss Ellen Bruce Lee
and Miss Halle Elkins Davis will
be among the other attendants.

PERSONAL. - Now that Allen
Steven has informed the other read
ers of The Day Book as to his name,
address, views on the question of sex
and the fact that he is still unat-
tached matrimOniaIly, our gratitude
to him will be beyond description if
he will relieve our tortured minds by
stating his present occupation, for
we are under the impression that he
is not a common wOrkingman.
Our idea is that he holds a college
prOfessOrship and is making a spe-
Cialty Of the question relating to the
moral conditions of his fellow men
and women.
We cannot realize, naturally, that
Allen occupies his very brilliant mind
on manual labor, for he would be
only too glad to relax both body and
mind after his arrival at home each
day by reading on subjects that have
not puzzled some of our greatest aU-
thOrs on the still UnsOlved question
Of the why's and wherefOrs of the
attractions of the opposite sex to-
ward each other. Still, if it does re-
ieVe his mind, we presume it is not
for us mere mOrtals to criticize his
methods of amusement.
L for one, was sure glad to have
him state that he is single. Take my
advice, Mr.. Stevens, and keep away
from the sex that causes moral ruin
alton to the superior sex, for I am
afraid that some day some poor old
maid" will take you unaware and the
very catastrophe that you fear will
Overtake you. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
But please tell us your means Of
livelihood and age, and mine will not
be the only mind at restless n.

A WORKERS WORTH. - Under
normal conditions good goods COM
mand their prices, but talent or pro-
fessiOnaI aptitUdes, although ocCa-
siOnally recognized, are often ignOT-
ed and Underpaid.
Take, for instance, the workers of
the catering industry whose profess
siOnal knowledge has been acquired
by long years Of training. Most of
the time they are handicapped by IN
sanitary conditions and surround
ings, to say nothing of the long
hours Of working, and, after all, are
treated as dumb animals or mere
machines.
Some of those workers, to make
up for insufficient remuneration,
have to depend upon the generosity
of patrons, but what is a pecuniary
tip. Just bride, the rendering of
which is generally resented as an in
suit by all self-Tespecting persons?
A large proportion of such work
eTs who have not occasion to be so
much in evidence or to come in per-
sOnal contact with the patrons have
therefore not such financial consoIa-
ton to cheer them up and encOur-
age them in the performance of their
duties.
Workers Of any other profession
do command their hours of working
and also their prices and generally
execute their work in their own good
time, but in the catering industry it
is different.
Unfortunately, the majority of
those workers, in their ignorance or
Obstinancy, patTOnize literature that
has an interest to deceive them. It
is up to those workers to choose be-
tween refusing to perceive the bene-
fits to be gained by joining a union

An Easy Surrender.

'"The trouble with my wife," said
Blathers, ''is that she always insists on
having the last word"
"Ha-hum!' said the philosopher
Lets see-what is the last word ?"
He turned to the dictionary. 1.-The last
word here" he continued. lis zyxom-
ma meaning an Indian libellulid drag
on fly, having a large head, narrow
face and very large eyes. Seems to
me, Blathers, that, considering how
little call you have in the ordinary con-
versation of the ordinary day for a
word like that, you might, for the sake
Of peace, let her have it. | am sure
that If had wife and she wanted a
word like 'zyxomma,' rather than give
rise to zymotic disturbances in the fam
lily I'd give in. John Kendrick Bangs

Two Men Who Think as Ono.

In his book, Contemporary French
Dramatists." Barrett Il. Clark, writing
of the famous collaborators, Flers and
Caillavet, quotes the latter In describ-
ing how their work is done:
Our system of collaboration works
so well that | am really unable to say
which part Of play is my own and
which my partners. In fact, we talk
a plot over, one of us rejecting an idea,
the other arguing In its favor. 1t is
curious, but often one of these discus
sions ends by my accepting my con-
frere's proposal and rejecting my own.
while he does the same with mine.
When we come to the dialogue we talk
1t to each other. Thus it is made, not
written. We have come now, partly
as result of our constant working to-
gether, partly as result of our com
mon tastes. to think as we'll as write
as single being"

No lnvulnerable Forts.

It will continue to be physically pos
sible no doubt to build a fort so strong
that no shell could penetrate it, wheth-
er fred directly at high angles or to
fan upon 1T vertically from the clouds.
1t would require merely to calculate
the force of explosives and the resist
ance of steel and concrete and make
the steel and concrete thick enough.
But 1t may have ceased to be worth
while. A fort would still be vulnera-
BILE from below ground. Its foundation
could not be laid so deep that an en-
envy might not drive tunnel under it,
and then it would be necessary only to
put enough high explosive there to
blow the fort away. So perhaps in the
future military strategy will adjust It,
self to the idea that Notifications can
not be permanent, wherefore they had
better be even more impermanent,
serving only as temporary bulwarks
against an oncoming enemy.-New York
Times.

The fire Of naval gun is directed
from the fire control station, a small

finder. a large telescope pointed at
right angles to its object This tele-
scope consists of series Of mirrors Of

his lenses so that he can gauge the cor

Information is telephoned to the gun

expert officers in the fire control watch

COUNTING Pulse Beata.

TT Is strange how few people know
what their normal pulse is" said q
physician They know the average
pulse Is about seventy. and imagine
that they are well or otherwise as their
pulse approaches or departs from this
standard. 1t Is true that an average
OF all pulses would give a result of
about seventy beats, but in no other
physical popularity is there such q
wide individual variation.
Il had two students In my ONCE at
the same time. both very strong and
remarkably healthy young men. The
normal pulse of one was forty-seven
and the other ninety three This differ

low sixty or rising above eighty In a
healthy subject, but an unusually slow
or rapid pulse is no indication what.
