Nor was the week just past a dull
one. There was the dinner party on

and Sonora de Riano as hosts and the
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall as
guests of honor; the musical at the

Long are entertaining for diplomats
on Thursday evenings; one of a most
interesting series of senatorial din
ner parties in honor of the Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Marshall on Friday
evening, which had for hosts Senator
ana Mrs Henderson, and there were
q number of interesting dinner par
ties last night.
Concerts and lectures filled many
OF the afternoons or evenings, and
the talk which former President Taft
gave at the Congressional Club on
thursday night: the Bishop lecture
on Tuesday. and Maj. Ian Hay Beith's
lecture Thursday afternoon, brought
food for thought. Mrs. Thomas f.
Walsh was the only society woman
to occupy the entertainment boards
during the week, and her talk on the
reconstruction of garments at the
club of the Penwomen's League was
exceedingly interesting. 1t is serious
enough to be first fairly begging old
clothes, then making them over and
finally delivering them to cover shiv.
foundly serious than that is the sug-
gestion which Mrs. walsh's recon
struction shops in her own drawing
rooms carry to all social settlement
workers.. for they will there find a
poor of great cities with decent and
comfortable clothes
