and, as the music seemed to strike
the fancy Of the dancers, and the floor
was good and not too crowded, every
body had a good time. The sight of
the convalescent boys from the

guests Of the committee. some with
empty sleeves, others on crutches,
many with decorations on their
breasts. brought a lump to, ones
throat; and 1t was a real inspiration
to us all. to note the spirit of fun
rampant among them and the keen
enjoyment they got out OF attending
a party.
Another inspiring thing was the
singing of the national anthems Of
France, Great Britain. and the United
States by the assembled company, led
by Martin Richardson. tenor Of the
Royal Opera Company. Of Milan,
Italy. Leaflets printed with the words
OF the hymns had been thoughtfully
provided by the committee, so the
chorus swelled out strongly at the
end, and there was none of the trail

One Of the most significant events
of the week, to my mind. was Mrs.
Herbert Wadsworth's reception on
Thursday night. significant because
IL marked the resumption of her IA
nous Thursday evenings at home.
Mrs. Wadsworth has been away from
Washington for several years and her
great house in Massachusetts, avenue
was for many months occupied by the
District of Columbia Chapter Of the
Red Cross. But for several years be-
fore she went away her Thursday
evening receptions were among the
most delightful events of the mid
winter season.
The invitations always read "At
Home, Thursday evenings until Lent
and consequently her friends were
privileged to drop in any Thursday
or every Thursday as the spirit moved
them and engagements permitted. Al
ways there was music, with dancing
for those who cared for the pastime;
frequently bridge tables were set UP
in one of the smaller drawing rooms,
and it was all very jolly and infor-
NAL. The reception last week ran
true to form and indications are
that Mrs. Wadsworth's Thursdays
will be as popular as ever this sea-
son.
