them to have to send last-minute re-

fashion. But several of the members
OF Washington families, those old
enough to know better. too. have been
suffering with that childish disease
lately. Carl Voorman, for one, has had
to miss several dinners and several
speaking engagements because Of an
attack of the mumps. The worst Of

II you want to see some real lovely
things that are being sold for a song

Box. Where is it? Right around the
corner from Footer's, on Twelfth
street. first door above q. 1t is a
dainty little shop-and such an inter-
csting one, too-which Mrs. Robert
Lansing. Mrs. Albert Ruddock, Mrs.
Wilbur ]. Carr and all those ladies

1t is almost unbelievable the number
Of garments that one organization has
shipped to France. One woman alone

sent abroad. Those who do not know
