evening and came to a close, so far
as entertaining of general nature
was concerned, with the ball at the
Willard on Friday night for the ben
eft of the Children's Country Home.
The committee had hoped that the
President and Mrs. Wilson. might be
persuaded to look in for a few mo-
ments. but the press OF business con-
nected with the closing days OF Con-
gress made this impossible for the
President; and Mrs. Wilson never
goes an where in the evening-and
seldom at any .time-without him.
One of her first acts on reaching
Washington. however, was to send
graceful note expressing her willing
ness to act as patroness for the ball
and her best wishes for its success.
Both Mrs. Wilson and her mother,
Mrs. Boiling, take deep interest in
the home.
This week, wednesday seems to
have been society's busy day. 1t IL
always Cabinet day" and, although
there are some Of the Cabinet women
who don't observe II, and who say
they don't intend to. the general dis
position seems to be to fall back inSo
the old routine established before the
war. Mrs Glass receives on Wednes-
days; so dose Mrs. Baker, and usual
ly, Mrs. Daniels, although she hap
pened not to last Wednesday. Mrs.
Lane and Mrs. Houston are still re-
bellinE against "the system" Small
blame to them! And poor Mrs. Lane
has been shut up in the house for
the last week, anyhow, with a shock
ing cold.
Mrs. Gregory, whose husband will
resign the portfolio of the Depart
ment Of Justice to A Mitchell Palm
er on March 4, had her Anal farewell
official at home OF Wednesday, with
Washington turning out to do her
honor. And it was Lillian Birney's
wedding day, as well as the day OF

singers fortune on the comic opera
stage. When 1t came to FLOATING
Down a Moonlight Stream" described
as serious song" the effect wasn't
quite so good. but the ditty served
very pleasantly to string together
the various dances and diyeFtise-
ments OF the last part OF the pro-
gram, in which the debutantes took
part.
Louisa Hoar danced with much
grace and charm; so did Virginia
EclSles. and Elizabeth GrinneIPs
Spanish dance was given a most en-
thpsiastic reception. Courtney Let's
and Brooke Rassell put on a most
amusing pantomime sketch; Jane
Story did a clever bit as a cold,
proud disdainful beauty; Eleanor
Johnston spoke a piece"-with a
kick in the end-and Margaret Hard
ing sang a funny little verse in a
voice that was a bit reminiscent of
conscience, with the talented Mr.
Grieg to back her up.
The more formal part OF the pro-
gram, Barrie's "The Twelve Poupd
Look" with Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon
Knox Bell, May Ladenburg, and DR.

in most finished manner. and the
actors displayed a real understanding
OF their roles. But, after all. the jol-
liest part of the whole show was
"PierTot's Concert Party" the first
act on the program, in which the cast
spent most Of its time pOking fun at
itself.
Frances Hoar. who has been highl-
successful in private theatricaIs both
here and in Boston. won new lalrels
and, with Capt. Roy Glen, OF the Brit
ish embassy, as her partner, put on
a dance that was graceful IN the eN-
treme. Katherine FOss. who has a
delightful voice; Valentine Mitchell
DR.. George Draper. Mrs. Knyvett, wild
.ow Of the soldier hero, who wrote 80
thrillingly OF the Australians in
action; Henry Getty Chiffon, Of thu
British embassy, and Sidney Breeze
all were droll and amusing in a clever
skit, which gained in effectiveness
from its setting among the chimney
pots, with bold black cats silhouetted
against the sky.
The decorations and costumes were
designed by Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Mus
grave, OF the British embassy. Leslie
Holt put on the dances and Myer

Gill CarrolI was at the piano duriag

the effectiveness of the act.

EAh SUSAN:
The week has gone by in a
whirl, and the impression left
On my mind Is q Kaleidoscope tumble
of dances and debates, politics and
parades, brides and benefits, with 9
few particularly interesting events
FOR instance, Lillian Birney's wedding
and the benefit for the British
American war relief understanding
out ia sharp relief
Whenever two or three are gath
cred together the chief topic Of con-
Fersation Is. Of course, the President's s
return, The question OF what he has
to say in favor Of the League Of Ma
tionE, and the equally important ques-
ton OF what certain Senators and GER
tain Congressmen-and a good many
people more or less certain-haye to
say against it. In consequence, seats
in. the Senate gallery are at q pre-
MUM, and during one of the busies.
weeks OF the winter society folk have
been slipping up to the Capitol to
hear the speeches pro and con on the
League of Nations idea-so far, 1t
must be admitted, they've been most
~. OF the econ" variety-with a cres-
cendo OF interest up to the speeches
OF Senator Lodge on Friday and Sena-
tor Knox on Saturday.

but women from the embassies and

not to mention innumerable less i'm
portant persons.
Among the most regular attendants
az the Senate gallery have been Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth, whose husband
doesn't want TO be Senator, thinking
he can have more fun in the House.
and Mrs Medill Mccormick, whose
husband graduates into the Senate
next week Those two frequently
hunt in couples. but on Wednesday
night Mrs. Mccormick had to so to
Indianapolis and left lamenting that
she did not see how she could get
back in time to hear Senator Lodge
on Friday.
And I saw, Lady Willert there on
the day when Senator James Hamil-
ton Lewis spoke in defense Of the
Presidents program. She was ac-
companied by Colonel Sparl1es. c. NJ
G.. who had just arrived in Wash
fngton-his FIRST visit-from active
. service overseas. and upon whom i'm
pressions were crowding 50 thick and
fast that one wondered how he would
ever be able 20 untangle them. He
is little Paul Willert's godfather.
Colonel Sparkes' chaperone - cicer-
one, either or both-was anxiously
looking forward to the return OF her
husband, Sir Arthur Willert, whom
she had not seen since they acquired

Sir Arthur, who has been CORE
spondent for the London Times here
for ten years or more, and who is
regarded as Lord Northcliffe's right

women as Miss Lydia Biddle. Mrs.

And IL in this case the realization
rather surpassed expectations the one
person most responsible was AlgeT-
non F. NJ. Grieg, one of the secr,-
tries Of the British embassy, under
whose direction the entertainment
was produced.
Mr.. Grieg, suspect, must be one OF
the cleverest young men in. captivity.
Not only did he plan the entire per-
fOrmance. work out \ the delicious
foolery with which IL was filed and
direct the whole production, but, as
sisted by Valentine Mitchell. he wrote
the extra lyrics and the sparkling
dialogue. Moreover, he handled the
publicity. which was really good pub
licity and a godsend to harassed
society editors; and. methinks, 1
recognized his clever hand in the
programs which were full OF apt
quotations and bristIed with such
amusing information as Mr.. Alger-
non Greig can't sing (but we are
afraid he will try.)"

Finkenstnedt-Birney wedding
Followed by Reception.

~ ANECCpAAOhs
Miss Birney and Capt. Edward r.
Finkenstaedt, Of Cleveland, arranged
their wedding with real consideration.
The ceremony. to which only a few
family and intimate friends-were
asked, was set for 4:15 in All Saints
Chapel Chevy Chase, and the recep-
tion, to which almost everybody was
asked and quite everybody came. was
at the house at 8 o'clock-the house
being the Harold Walkers, with
whom, since Mrs. Walker is sister,
the bride has made her home.
The little chapel was fairly smoth-
cred in Easter lilies, snilax, and ferns,
and even il the company invited to it
was small, the service was carried out
with due pOmp and ceremony. The
bride, who is looking prettier than
/ ever saw her-and that's amazingly
pretty-had on the Ioveliest wedding
gown I've seen this year. simple to a
degree, but fashioned of the richest
ivory satin brOcaded in creamy velvet
flowers; and all veiled in the mist Of
a voluminous tulle veil banded with
wonderful old point lace.

Capital Audiences StiII
Colby ApathetIc.

The influx Of new blood has done
something toward warming up Wash
ington's proyerbially cold audiences;
but apparently IL has had slight -ef-
feet on the street crowds. The news
Of the signing Of the armistice did
move the people until they were al
most beside themselves with enthu-
siasm, but, although the streets were
thronged for the parade on Thurs
day, the crowd was distinctly apathe-
tic. The Presidents reception was
only mildly warm and whenever
heard shouting with real steam be-
hind il 1 discovered that ii came
from a GROUP of negroes cheering
the men of their own race.
AS for the parade-well, perhaps
the feelings il stirred up were too
deep TO be expressed in noisy demon
stration. Certainly one could but feel
choked with emotion at the sight Of
the banner commemorating THE
Boys We Left Behind U.s." and the
little cortege following the caisson
with fits burden Of blood-red tulips
bringing to mind Flanders fields.

crosses, row on rowland the al

On Thursday there was another in
teresting wedding, the marriage of
Dorothy Whitridge. daughter of DR..
Roland Barker Whitridge, and Nor
ris T. Raymond, OF Albany, sometime
lieuteuant in the navy. Only a few
close friends had opportunity to wit

Mrs. Walker. who was matron Of
honor, looked her Ioveliest in a Lu-
cille gown of periwinkle blue chiffon,
while Elaine English and little EVELYN
Walker-but, there. if 1 get started
on the subject of clothes I'll never tell
the tale of all that has been happen

tion was an exceedingly merry party
from the time the first guests arrived
until the favored few, who remained
for an informal wedding supper, show
cred the bride and bridegroom with
rice and started them off on their
wedding journey. And afterward Mr..
and Mrs. Walker took the bridal party
and several out-of-tOwn guests, twelve
in all, to the British benefit.
The one touch Of pathos about the
wedding came from the brides grand
mother, Mrs. Mcclellan, of Atlanta,
who could not keep from bewaiIing
the fact that Catherine could not lie
