OFFICERS CLUB
HAS CLOSED UP.
Another result of the end of the
war is the closing of the Officers'
Club at Dupont Circle. the club
that filled such a great war need
in this city. As our army and navy
were enlarged. the Army and Navy
Club here was just swamped with
members until it just couldn't alb
sorb any more. Then a group of
regular officers and reserves got to-
gether and formed the Of1cers' Club
first called the United Service
Cluo-leased the old Blaine man
sion in Dupont Circle and there the
club grew and fiourished for over
two years. officers in Washington
could dine there inexpensively, live
there and be amused there. The
town was full Of strangers who
would have been lonely except for
the friendships they made at the
club. Lectures. motion picture
shows. dances and other forms of
entertainment were given there
every two or three evenings.
Then as the army was demobi-
lized the officers decreased in num-
Der and scattered to their homes
so that the club membership shrank
until finally on December It closed
its doors, the few remaining MEM
bers joining the University Club.
Once more the old Blaine house is
dark and empty as it had been for
a period of about twenty years be-
fore the club leased it. 1t was
rumored that Miss Alice Bristol had
bought il to use as the Bristol
School next season but the deal fell

SECOND SON IS
A FAvORITE.

The duchess second son, Lord Ivor
Spencer Churchill. was born on Octo-
Der Is. 1888. and he. like his older
brother. is also a great favorite in
London's younger social circles. He
was christened in the same chapel as
his brother. and his sponsors were the
Marquis of Londonderry, the Marquis
Of Camden, and his grandmother, the
Marchioness of Blandford.

at the present time than she has
been since the day she became the
wife of one of England's most

Vanderbilt heiress and the Duke
was. as nearly everyone knows, far
from successful. For a time after
their marriage they took a leading
part in the social affairs of Eng
lands mightiest set. but it was not
long before the tabbies began to
notice that the Duke and Duchess
frequently appeared about at func-

Mrs. Belmont Is of course ex-
tremely proud of her daughter

every reason to be proud of her
own career. When I look back to
the days when she was Alva Smith,
to those days when the Vanderbilts
were unknown socially. and I see
the wonderful success Mrs. Belmont
has made Of her life, I cannot but
think how wonderful it all is.
Little did she think, in those by
gone days down South, that the
time would come when her grand
son weuld be sponsored for by a
king and later become one of the

Again, truth is stranger than fic-
ton.
Queen Mary is credited with the in
| auguration of a reform in court life
which Is nothing less than revolution

most Of her predecessors on the
throne Of England to turn in horror
In their graves. 1t is nothing more

which from u.ne immemorial has been

Is A BLOW TO
DRESSMAkERs.
Queen Mary is known to strongly
deprecate undue extravagances in
dress in this present era Of financial
stress and trouble. She has decided
so it Is reported, that henceforth or
dinary evening dress will suffice for
women attending entertainments Of
one kind or another at her court.
This will be blow to the dress
makers. and will certainly deprive the
state functions Of some of their more
decorative features. But it will prove
welcome saving to those women to
whom few hundred dollars is a mat
ter or consideration and who find It
| difficult to turn to any useful and sub
| sequent account their costly court
dresses and. above all, their terribly
expensive trains-trains which are
carried over the arm throughout the
entertainment save when courtesying
before the sovereigns at the steps of
the throne.
Queen Victoria was terribly strict
about full court dress. including ost-
rich feathers. full decolletage and
court train. Throughout her widow
hood her courts. or, as they used to
call them in those days, her drawing
rooms for presentations. were always
held in the afternoon. so as to enable
her to return to Windsor castle Cor

at Buckingham palace, which she de-
