Mrs. Mann and Bessie Hickey
Finally on for Cuba

Mrs. 1. T. Mann and Bessie Hickey
were to have sailed from New York
over a fortnight ago for Cuba. Pan
anna and a trip through the West In
dies. Instead they have been idling
in Florida and only sailed yesterday
for Cuba.
They went TO New York to sail as
pre-arranged: their trunks were
aboard the steamer and all details set
tied for their sailing when Germany
withdrew her pledges made to this
country. Thereupon, Mr.. Mann hur-
ried to New York and escorted them
of the steamer, trunks and all, al
most while the farewell whistles were
blowing.
After several days frolic in New
York, the ladies bade Mr.. Mann fare
well and took the train to Charleston,
S. C. From there, they went to st.
Augustine for a short stay and almost
the first person they ran into was DR..
Earkin Glazebrook, who has been In
Florida for a fortnight or more.
They found St. Augustine so crowd
ed that they did not tarry long, but
moved on to Palm Beach. whore they
have had a beautiful time.
They left there yesterday for Ha-
vana. where they plan to remain
about a week, after which they will
visit Capt. and Mrs. S. J. Bayard
Schindel, in San Antonio. Mr.. Mann
plans to join them there oil return
ing to Washington about March 10,
when. Billie Mann will come home
from school for his Easter vacation.

Dorothy declares that Richmond
appealed to her asa particularly
happy city-Everybody was smif

perhaps their arrival, encumbered
with shields and bucklers, shepherds
crooks, and such impedimenta- may
have had something ITO do with the
general smile which greeted them.

What 'Srhey, Say About
The Palm Beach asToddle."

They tell me-not Mrs. Mann or
Bessie Hickey just "they" that
Palm Beach is "toddling"
That is a new dancing step, some
thing of an osteopathic fox trot As
it is performed there, a couple takes
a few straight steps, then there is a
sudden turmoil in the music and they
turn and pivot
They" also added that stoutness or
a skirt longer than sixteen inches
from the floor makes the dance prac-
tically impossible.
A bathing skirt, and bloomers have
been pronounced the ideal costume
for that dance. Do you suppose IL
will survive Palm Beach and come to
Washington? Well, somebody told
me just yesterday that bloomers were
to become fashionable once more.

Champ Clark Congratulated
AT White House Dinner.

The international situation was not
allowed to interfere with the last Of
the White House functions scheduled
for the season-the dinner to the
speaker-which Nas made notable by
the congratulations showered upon
the guest Of honor on the arrival a
few hours earlier of his first grand.
son, Champ Clark Thomson. The
Speaker having been through the sane
thing, only more SO, on the floor of
the House in the afternoon, was able
to bear his blushing honors with
eQuanimity, even with enjoyment.
or the guests asked to meet the
Speaker, the majority were either
Senatorial or Congressional, the
names calculated to arouse the most
interest being that of Congressman
and Mrs. William Kent of California
For II will be remembered that, al
though MH Kent campaigned vigor-
ously for the President last summer,
Mrs. Kent campaigned just as vigor-
ously against him; and that Mrs.
Kent was more recently among the
most enthusiastic OF the Congression-
al Union picketers at the White House
gates. Not only has she several times
done her bit as sentry there, but she
has continually lent comfort and sup
port, even to borrowing her hus-
bands aYctics and hunting coat for
half frozen sentinels.

Something May BE
In the Wind Again.

Do you remember my writing you
several years ago anent the rumor
that a number OF rich men, mostly
New Workers, were buying up by do
grees properties bordering on koclS
Creek, from the District line to the
northern part of Montgomery county?
It's never been announced who the
owners were nor what their plans.
I have my own ideas on the subject,
but the war began, political changes
came about, and 50 far as the'public
knows the plans were dropped and
people have ceased suurmising. Late
ly, i have thought there might be
something in the wind again.

Spanish Ambassador
Didn't Go Home at Once.

In the sundry stories 1 have read
of the taking over of our affairs in
Germany by the Spanish Ambsss sador,
Polo y Bernabe, who was Spanish
minister at Washington at the out
break OF the Spanish-American war,
have seen no mention OF a rather
picturesque fact
When he was handed his passports
Senor Bernabe did not set sail armed
with safe conducts "all same like"
Count Won Bernstorff, but went TO
Canada. There he engaged in various
activities. undoubtedly helpful to his
own government but prejudicial to
the United States, until Uncle Sam
asked Canada to send him away. And
Canada did, gently but firmly.

the sins she never permits herself

DEAR SUSAN:

DEAR SUSAN:
Having somewhat recovered from
the shock of the German rupture, we
took a long breath and plunged once
more into the business Of crowding
as much pleasure as possible into the
days before Lent.

President; the women are going IN

forms of service as they have not
since the civil war; the Laywomans
Service of the Red Cross has grown
to enormous proportions; there is
waiting list for the classes OF the

House. But still the fashionable
world seems to find plenty of time to
amuse itself.

the famous Hunt Ball on Shrove Tues
day rings down the curtain on the
season, a Substitution of informal
parties for big balls and receptions
and an even greater assiduity In de-
votion to work for preparedness.

Tribute to MiIlspaugh.
At the morning service Dean Kaye
read a tribute to the late Bishop
Frank r. Millspaugh, telling how he
had visited the building every day
and talked to the workmen; how he
brought from England the glass of the
rose window which was a part of the
material from which the famous rose
window of Westminster Abbey was
made. The stone beneath the cross
in the altar he brought from Lindes-
farne, one of the early seats of Chris
tianity in Great Britain. The altar,
part of which is in his memory was
given by his efforts; the litany desk
was his gift in memory of his parents;
the gift of the pulpit was the result OF
a promise made to him by the doner;
the wainScoting in the chancel was
memorial to him, and a great deal
of the money in the building was
raised by him. He is with us today
in double sense. His body rests
beneath the altar, and his spirit, l
am sure, hovers near u.s."

SCORE SECRETARY
Leading Berlin Newspaper De-
nOunceS Zimmerman Plot.
German Press Divided-SOme
Sustain RetaliatOry Act.

Berlin, March 4-Via London
March 5.-While some of the German
papers have received the news of the
German Mexican intrigue with COM
paratiVe indifference, others have Wig
orously denounced the policy of For
eign Secretary Zimmerman. Among
the latter is the Tages Zeitung. Count
Won Reventlow formerly one of the
most ardent advocates of unrestricted
submarine warfare and a general sup
porter of extreme measures, writes
in that paper:
"As a result of the publication of
the German offer to Mexico. senti-
ment, which has heretofore been di-
vided in America, is now solidly be-
hind the president. This circumstance
or it's possible results are hardly cal
culated to arm us with pessinlism.
Those circles who have been basing
hopes for the preservation of peace on
divided public opinion in the United
States, are now forced to deplore the
turn things have taken and to doubt
the wisdom of the German policy
which so far as Mexico is concerned
may be stigmatized as bringing a
lighted match in contact with a pow
der cask.
Mexico is a frontier neighbor of
the United States and the German Of
fer will not be forgotten soon"
No Reason TO Kick?
The Lokal Anzeiger, however.
strongly supports the policy of Secre-
tary Zimmerman. 1t says:
americans have not the slightest
reason to be provoked at our inten-
tons. Without trea cherry which
brought the German offer to the
knowledge of the United States gov
eminent the Mexican government
would not have learned of it until
after the United States had declared
war on us. 1t is wall known that Presl-
dent Wilson tempted not only one
but every neutral state to break off
diplomatic relations with us. This
was a time when Germany had not
committed single hostile act
against the United States But merely
because we were finally forced to
make use g a weapon calculated to
hasten the conclusion of peace, he
has now no right to complain when
we too are seeking allies who might
possibly help US to thwart the step
he aims to undertake against u.s."
