just at present. The only person in
any way connected with it that l have
observed having at all an exciting
time was young Morrison Marshall at
the ball park early in the week. II
was really a pretty lively game and
the grandstand was cheering and
shouting Justify. The Vice President,
who is, by way of being a fan" was
there with Mrs. Marshall. and they
had brought their little adopted son
with them. The general uproar was
infectious. and the youngster got so
excited that he had TO be taken out.
The President and Mrs. Wilson
seem to have lost their taste for base
ball. It will be remembered that it
was the frequent appearance of Mrs.
Norman Gait in the Presidents box at
the ball park that gave Washington
its first hint of (which way the wind
blew" back in the summer of 1915,
before his intention OF marrying had
been announced, or was generally
even suspected. And in the interven-
ing summers they have been quite
frequently in attendance. But they
have not been out there as yet since
their return-party, no doubt, because
of the pernicious activity of ST. Swith-
in for something like ten days re-
Gently, and because for several days
the President was not well and kept
to the house.

Afternoon Tea Was Only
White House Social Event,

The nearest the White House has
come TO entertaining of any sort was
q little afternoon tea that Mrs. vii
son had there last Tuesday afternoon,
chiefly for the women of the Cabinet,
and a few who had been in France
with the peacemakers-Mrs. Benson,
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt, (who either
just happened to be in town, or cana
down from Long Island for the coca
sionl, Mrs. Hurley and a few wives
OF Senators.
1t was not a big party. and notable
only as the first White House enter
tanning that was anything more than
a strictly family affair since Mrs
Wilson returned from France. And
after all. it was family in a way
official family. AS might have been
expected. with about half of those

other side-there were some rather
interesting gowns shown in that lit
tie group. Mrs. Wilson herself was

or the Cabinet ladies who were in
town-probably, indeed, of the entire
rather exclusive little group honored
with an invitatiOn-the only one who
did not go was Mrs. Baker. She was
sorry-really sorry-Io miss it: 1t was
a distinct disappointment not to be at
Mrs. Wilson's first little party after
her return; but, as already noted. Mrs.
Baker has a way of doing her duty
and she had a previous engagement
for that afternoon. AS between her
own disappointment and that of lot
of sick and wounded soldiers there
could be but one choice. She had
promised to sing for the boys in the
army hospital at Fort McHenry-so
she made her excuses to the First
Lady and motored over to Baltimore
to keep her engagement with the sol
der bows. She missed a very pleasant
little party-a trif1e perfunctory. per-
haps. and absolutely without thrill
but pleasant.

sing with Mrs. Baker to the accom-
paniment of her brother, Mr.. Ralph
Leopold, who has been her guest late
Iy since his release from the service.
But the bad news from Brest knocked
that plan completely on the head
Mrs. Townsend was only in town
about a week. She was waiting for
Mr.. Townsend to finish up some busi-
ness that had kept him in New York,
and then they were both to go up to
their summer home at Schroon Lake
in the Adirondacks, where their daugh-
ter. Miss Yyonne Townsend, and their

Wilson's Indulge In
OId-Time Picnic.

They did, however, indulge in a lit
tie picnic last Sunday which carried
one back to the period OF their en-
gagement. when they were more than
once discovered having lunch or tea,
picnic fashion, in some quiet nook Of
Rock Creek Park, when they had
started out sedately to take the air in
one of the White House motors. They
did that same thing last Sunday af-
ternOon, only that-perhaps naturally
they have been nowhere where the
party than they ever took with them
in the days when they were counting.
They went TO church in the morn
ing (the Central Presbyterian, which
is the Presidents church, not Mrs.
Wilson'S, and the usual mob was
there waiting to see them arrive. And
in the afternoon they took one of the
largest White House motors, and
with Miss Margaret Wilson. Admiral
Grayson, and John Randolph Boiling
and a hamper-went off for their
customary Sunday afternoon automO-
bile drive through the parks and out
into the country; and, finding a suit
able place for a quiet little family
picnic. had their tea served al fresco
even as you and J."
If some of the crowd that had
gaped at them entering the church
in the morning, had known of that
party. II would have been still more
interested. But except at church and
at their beloved Keith's-they went
very late last week. not until Satur-
day; and again on Tuesday this week

ODER IFS Plans
~EAR SUSAN:

IN EAR SUSAN:
Washington had a mad idea
IL that when the President comes
home" all its questions were to be an
swered. In that happy time ii was
TO know where il was at-socially as
well as politically. The President has
been at home for three weeks now
and never, il seems to me, was Wash
inEton so completely up in the air"
To the casual outsider, and, to GER
tain extent, to those of the innermOst
circle, everybody seems to be running
round in rings" It's a bit bewilder-
ing.
SociaIly-when the President came
homo there was to be an orderly
procession OF royalties and notables
from the nations OF the earth, return
ing the visits which the Wilson's had
paid them. They were coming as
guests of the nation and were to be
entertained at the White House first,
and then by a series OF brilliant Of
fetal fetes. After Washington had
welcomed them these distinguished
visitors would probably travel over
the country and be entertained both
publicly and privately wherever they
went. There was a good time COM
ing-and a brilliant and a gay
one IL was 70 DSBih IN iN-<Aub
ust with the arrival of the Prince of
Wales. for which the State Depart
ment was definitely laying plans.
weIl-they're all still coming; but
like most good times, not quite 50
soon as had been expected. And as
for anything like a resumption Of
social activities at the White House,
there seems to be no indication Of
it-until after the. President has
made that projected swing around
the circle-the 10,OOO-mile trip ne
plans in the interest Of the peace
treaty and the League of Nations.
AS his start on that trip seems to be
being put off from day to day, AMI
week to week, in an effort to get the
Senate sufficiently tanned for it to be
safe to leave it, so everything is
hanging fire.

Margaret Wilson
Wears Fetching Gown.

To return to their gowns-Miss
Margaret Wilson wore a most attrac-
tive and very Frenchy little frock
of green organdy with powdering OF
embroidery, and all sorts of little
crisp friIIs by way Of trimming. IL
was a fetching little costume, and as
coot looking, in quite different
way, as Mrs. Wilson's. Mrs. Mar
shall has not been sabrOad, but I
shouldn't wonder if her gown had.
1t was a curious and tremendously
becoming costume of ecTu lace, with
touches OF rather strong blue, show

Mrs. Baker and
Children Leave.


Children Leave.
Mrs. Baker and the children got of
safely on Thursday-and expect to
stay at Chautauqua Lake for the
month of August Secretary Baker
did not go with them, and so they
gave up the idea Of motoring and went
by train. He could not be with them
at both ends of their vacation, and IL
seemed better for him to join them
for the latter part than for the be-
ginning. And Mrs. Baker certainly
had her hands full during the begin
ming of the week-and her heart, too.
For on Monday they received word Of
the death by drowning Of her young
cousin, Richard Freas-of Pottstown,
I believe-whOse sister, Miss Eliza
beth Freas has made her home with
the Bakers for the last year or more.
1t was a sad blow to little Miss
Freas. who is not very strong, when
the Navy Department notified her Of
this beloved young brothers death. She
has several brothers, but this young
est one was particularly close to her.
He enlisted in the navy as soon a. he
realized that the country was calling
all its ardent youngsters, and, OF
course. his family shared the general
anxiety while the war was on. His
ship-lilke most of the ships-had been
doing transport duty Of late, and while
details are lacking, he was apparently
in a tender in Brest harbor when In
some accident It was upset and he was
drowned.
There had been an informal musi-

purse has been open to any suggestion
that seemed likely to add TO their
comfort.
