w dSnlnStOn, OCt. IL lSlo'
past week
w has not been dull one, IN
w spite of the closing of the
theaters, the churches, the schools,
the movies and abandonments of all
club meetings and other meetings
for the purpose of stamping out the
flu" 1t only goes to prove that
Washington can be busy and can be
interesting on her own resources.
The visit of the first lord of the
British admiralty, Sir Eric Geddes,
and his distinguished suite has been
the signal for several brilliant dim
ner parties. He and his party are
occupying the palatial gold mount
ed mansion of Captain and Mrs.
Perry Belmont, which was offered
the government by Captain Belmont.
Admiral Benson, chief of the u.
S. naval operations and the charge
daffaires of Great Britain have en-
tertained them at dinner, and Vice
Admiral and Lady Grant, who came
over in the admiraps flag ship, name
not mentioned because of war ne
cessities, but which is anchored off
Washington barracks, had a great,
brilliant tea on board for his ad-
miralship, when all of distin-
guished diplomatic and official So

esting occasion. Colonel Thompson's
houseboat, the Everglades, came up
the river during the tea with a load
of our wounded conyalescent sol
diers aboard, who had been taken
down the river for an afternoon
taste of fresh air, and ran up close
to the British flagship. The boys
were all called to attention" and

whistles and bells Of the Everglades

Notes of Interest.
The retirement of Major General
Gorgas as surgeon general of the U.
S. A. is matter of the greatest re-
greet, almost universally. General
and Mrs. Gorgas are equally beloved
in Cuba, Panama and in Washing
ton, Mrs. Gorgas having taken the
lead in the matter of practical work
for the Red Cross. Their successors,
General and Mrs. Ireland. are
charming people and destined to
make an enviable place for them
selves. Mrs. Ireland has been for a
year or more member of Mrs. Cor
gas Red Cross unit and is woman
VI great capabilities.
Among the newcomers in Wash
ington are Mr.. and Mrs. Ward Bur-
CESS of Omaha. They have taken a
house on Connecticut avenue, be-
tween Q and R streets. and are rap
idly getting settled there for the
winter. Mrs. Burgess came down
here recently from Wianno on Cape
Cod, where they have summer cot
tage.

girl, have returned to their home on
