that they bring out all the natural

One Bathtub for 500
Women Of Navy.

Somewhere in the United States,
near where the major portion Of the
fleet has its Northumberland I
don't suppose even the navy press
OF suppress-bureau could object to
my admitting that II Is somewhere
on the Atlantic coast-5O0 women,
wives OF naval officers, are camp
ing out in order to be near their
husbands.
Uncle Sam, in a truly benevolent
spirit has provided them with tents
and is doing all in his power to make
them comfortable. But there is one de-
cided drawback.-Whispe it!-Bath-
ing arrangements are decidedly
sketchy. As a matter OF hard, cold,
unromantic fact there is but one
bathtub available for the whole 500.
At least that Is the tale as IL was
told TO me by one who had just re-
turned from a visit in that neck o.
woods.
However, women are ingenious
creatures and 1t hasn't taken them
long to find solution OF the problem.
or at least a way of making II less
acute. Now, whenever. Saturday
comes round, two or three OF the
women journey over to a big hotel
not too far from camp, each engages
a room and bath for the week end
and before Monday morning dawns
each has offered the hospitality OF
her tub to relays Of her friends.

Mr.. CrOsby's Varied and
Interesting Career.

Interesting Career.
Mr.. Crosby IL a member OF most OF
the important Washington clubs, was
once mentioned for governor general
OF the Philippines and has had va
ried and interesting career. He mas
climbed ice-bound peaks rearing their
heads 1880 feet above the sea; ne
has scrambled In mountain torrents
whose chilly waters swept men and
horses from their feet: he has en-
dured for months a temperature which
frequently went to IS degrees below
zero; he has encamped in an aired
waste, unable to travel further, view
ing what appeared to be starvation's
Inevitable approach. These are some
Of the experiences as an explorer ana
geographer in an expedition on the
Tibetan plateau.
He also explored the Abyssinian
plateau, forming the acquaintance OF
King Menelik and gaining knowledge
OF that section Of Africa and Its PEG
pie that few white men possess. Val
liable results followed that trip; ge-
ography learned of new places and
archaeology and the kindred sciences
gathered a new inspiration. Mr.. eros
by's rewards were the satisfaction he
derived from such unusual Journeys
and a fellowship in the Royal Geo
graphical Society.
The Crosbys are as well known and
prominent in New York society as
they are here. When Miriam ana
Conte Caracieolo were married In
the fall of 1915, Mrs. Crosby and the
Misses Crosby sailed for Italy, where
the ceremony took place. after which
they went to Brussels, where they

LETTER.
DEAR SUSAN:

DEAR SUSAN:
The largest and most representative
social gathering seen in Washington
for some time-excIusive, OF course
of Mona McAdoo's wedding and some
of the functions given in honor OF the
British and French Missions-is TO be
found at the reserve officers training
camp at Fort Myer this afternoon
yesterday, tomorrow, and any after
noon in the week.
A steady stream of handsome mo-
tors entering the gate, justices OF the
Supreme Court, Cabinet officers ana
other high officials hobnobbing with
the rockies, handsome women and
pretty girls, clad in the most becom-
ing of their spring frocks, paradinE
proudly with sons, brothers or sweet
hearts in khaki-the scene Is at once
gay. inspiring and touched with
pathos.
The proper thing is to motor over
about 5 o'clock, when the boys are
free for an hour or so and can sip
on to chat with their friends ana De
led from the boxes of goodies with
which most of the visitors seem TO
be armed. Then, about 9, comes re-
treat, when the soldier boys must fall
in. all spick and span-and l never
saw a more immaculate and clean
shaver lot of men. The little cere-
mony which follows is very pretty
and lust long enough for the specta-
tors to take in how extraordinary
well the men drill. with so little train
ing to their credit
y
1t is intensely interesting to visit
the camp-there is so much % sec
and so many thrilling visitors to see
It. The Speaker and Mrs. Champ
Clark were there one afternoon, visit
ing their son, Bennett Clark, and on
the same day / saw Justice and MRS.
Pitney, Senator and Mrs. McCumbeT
and their daughter. Mrs. Harrison
Brand. whose husband is one OF the
instructors at the camp. likewise MI.
and Mrs. A. B. Butler and DR.. and
Mrs. Larkin Glazebrook, each OF
whom has a son at Fort Myer.
Frances Moore was there driving
her own car filled with young people,
.Eaxerly Sinclair among 'emf also
auline Kindleberger, with her bull
pup under her arm, and a bevy of
young people at her heels. Edward
Dove was there with very pretty
girl, also the Bob Doves, who had a
party in their motor; Mrs. Hampson
Gary, Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell
Mrs. David Fairchild, Miss Anne
George, Frances Effinger, Mrs Nal

having a bit OF renovating and re-
modelling done preparatory to taking
possession about the middle OF June.
Both these young people are fond OF
horses and out-of-door life, and they
are looking forward with a great deal
OF pleasure to having their own home
in the country.
Since their marriage they have
spent most OF their time with Ruth's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Wharton e
Lester. at their home In Massachu-
sets avenue. or with General Blu
chanan, at "AyreshIre," his beautiful
estate at Upperville, Va.
Their little girl, born early last
winter, is poisoning like a rose. and
bids fair to be as pretty as her moth
er, who, as Ruth Lester. was one Of
the beauties OF her season. Ruth'B
younger sisters, Edith and Kathleen
Lester, are also unusually lovely.

Advises No Extravaganee In
Buying Or In Economics.
With one-half the world crying
that we must cut down waste and
expenditures or starve. and the other
half cautioning against extreme
measures, lest we disorganize Indus
tries to an extreme degree. Il Is hard
to know just what course TO pursue
these days. It would seem. however,
that the advice not to be sxtrava-
CANT either in our expenditures or
our economies is.singularly good ad-
vice.
War on waste, well. OF course, that
Is a movement which deserves the
support OF every man, woman and
child in America: and certainly we
should cut down on the excessive use
OF foodstuffs, particularly such food
stuffs as can be shipped to our al
lies and saved to meet the smer-
gency in our land. But clothes,
flowers, books, candy, all the little
luxuries OF life-why each represents
q great industry which will go to
pieces IL we stop buying all OF a.
sudden.

Delos Blodgett the other day for the
quantity Of cut flowers which she
always has in her house and talking
of Red Cross, relief and the like.
Now. Mrs. Blodgett has subscribed
literally, not only to the Red Cross
but to all manner OF other deserving
charities, and l felt that she had a
right on her side when she commended
that 1t was up to the people in her
position to keep UP in some degree
the demand for the luxuries which
the rapid rise in the prices OF neces-I
stiles have put out OF reach OF people
in moderate circumstances.

over. and after that she devoted her
self to enjoying her sisters wedding.

frocks and more befiowered hats at
the Observation-Disclosures wedding
than at any wedding have attended
in many months. Most of the women
had on handsome and elaborate after
noon gowns instead of the dark suits
and simple costumes which seem to
have been the. correct thing in wed
ding garments of late.
To those who remember the amount
OF space which the newspapers de-
voted to the preparations for the mar
rage of Edith Root, the last Cabinet
brioe, and Lieut.-now Major-Ulysses
s. Grant, Sd, the restraint with which
the present wedding was treated was
a bit surprising. That this was due
to no lack OF interest was proved by
the size of the crowd that gathered
about the chruch at the time of the
ceremony. The sidewalks were jam
med and one little group had even
Communicated reserved seats on the

Never have l seen historic old St
Johns Church look so lovely. The
little chapel formed by screens OF
of palms and Australian ferns within
the church was one fragrant mass OF
dogwood, lilac. and other Towering
shrubs. The bride was smiling and
nodding right and left to her friends
as she came down the aisle on the
arm Of her good-looking bride
groom, and I very much liked
her simple pearl-embroidered tulle
frock and the little bandeau of
pearls which held her veil in place.
This was Russian in design and looked
for all the world like a miniature
edition OF the kakoshnik, the Russian
national headdress, which was intro
duced to Washington at the famous
Russion ball winter before last.
