Large Attendance at
Pen Women'H Meeting.

" -A--4-A AAEEAAAHa
The League Of American Pen Wom-
en- held its first regular meeting Of
the season last Week-on Monday, I
think IL was-in It's new clubhouse,
1922 II street. with the president, Mrs.
Isaac Pearson, presiding. Quantities
Of flowers and open-grate fires gave
touch Of cheerfulness TO this home,
which women writer's, artists and
musicians have established for them
selves, and there was a large attend
ance Of women engaged in literary
and kindred pursuits.
Following the business meeting
Mrs. Vernon Kellog, the only woman
who held an official position on the
Belgian relief commission, made a lit
tie talk, giving personal reminis-
cences OF the early days Of the war
and Of the final evacuation Of Belgium
by the Germans. She also told Of her
association with Edith Cavell, and at
the end Of her speech an appeal was
made for the contributions to the
Edith Cavell-Marie De Page memorial
fund. In addition to the generous

short story Writing
Courla Il Planned.


The league has all sorts OF plans
for q brilliant and active season and
one thing which sounds interesting
to me Is the course in short story
writing which % to be inauguFateds
classes to be held IN the club rooms
every Tuesday morning at 1880
o'clock The course will be conduct
ed by Mrs. HarriettC Gum Robertson,
author, Chautauqua lecturer and pres
ident Of the National Correspondence
School Of salable Short Story Writ
ing, and will be under the auspices
OF the league and for the beneht OF
the club house fund. However,
classes will not be confined to league
members, and both men and women
may attend. Information in' regard
to the course may be obtained from
Mrs. J. Cunningham, chairman short
story classes, at the league head
quarters.
Apropos Of clubs and classes I'm
minded to tell you a little bit about
the club which Mile. Sine Reuthe
IS organizing. II Is a small informal
social club for officers who have
learned 10 speak French overseas and
who are anxious to keep Il up, and
Il is to meet on Tuesday evenings at
o'clock In Mile. Reuthe's studio in
the Richmond Hotel. French news
papers will be read, also modern
French plays; politics will be discussed
and an effort will be made to keep
the conversational ball rolling and
to induce everybody present to con-
tribute something to the discussion.
Don't you think the idea Is a good
one?
Mile. Reuthe Is a Partisan, a grad
uate Of Paris University, and has
been living I'm the United States since
shortly after the war broke out, en-
gagged as French military instructor
to American officers and soldiers go
ing overseas. And now she has es-
tablished her studio at the Richmond
and gives private lessons and has
classes for children and grown-ups.
Her family lives in Paris and she
went home twice for short visits dur
ing the war.
New Invasion Of
America Begins.
A new invasion Of America has be-

The committee Ia charge OF the ban
for the benefit Of Trinity Community
House, Of which Mrs. James Carroll
Frazer Is chairman, displayed con.
siderable canniness in selecting Hal
loWeen, October 80, for their party.
Everybody waits TO be doing some
thing that evening and then it's an
undoubted advantage to have q bone-
ht early In the season before the
cream Of society's enthusiasm a
skinned. The big ballroom at the
willard will be reserved Tor the
dancing and the small ballroom for
bridge, which latter, BY the way, %
included IN the price Of the ticket.
Two hundred can be accommodated
at the card tables, OF which Ara.
Charles B. HOWry is In charge, and
this ought 70 take care OF those who
prefer cards to dancing. For the rest,
theren be corking music, the best 20
be had, and an excellent supper-and
what more IS necessary TO make Q
ball a genuine success?
Another important ball for which
the date has already hepn Geleefed
Is the annual November dance Of the
Stonewall Jackson Chapter, U. d. O.,
which will be held at the willard On
November 10. Mrs. Charles Hamilton

RIO DE JANEIRO, June 5 (Corre-
spondence of Associated Press) As
sociation football is the popular out
door sport of Brazil. In fact, it is
virtually the only outdoor sport tOI
which the Brazilians have taken with
much enthusiasm. There is some in
terest in tennis, swimming and row.
ing, but football is to the younger gen
Grafton of Brazil what baseball is to
the people of the United States. Bra
zilians are not interested in baseball.
The game was adopted in Brazi
about fifteen years ago. Interest aWak-
ened by the games played by the Brit
ish residents was quickened by the re-
turn of Brazilian youths from school
in England A few of them Joined the
British teams and later formed teams
of their own. Today there are as many
clubs in Rio de JaneirO as there are
amateur baseball clubs in one of the
large cities of the United States. All
are amateur organizations, and many
leagues exist in this city under the
supervision of the "MetrOpOlitana de
Desportos Terrestres." The clubs OF
the entire country are governed by the
Confederation Brazileira dos Despor-
tes."
CITY, state and national champion
ships are held, and then an "all-star"
team is picked to represent Brazil in
the annual series for the championship
of South America, other countries
participating being Chile, Argentina
and Uruguay.
This international championship has
been held three times only, beginning
lin 1916 in BuenOs Aires, with Uru-
quay victorious. In 1917 it was held
lin MOntevideO and Uruguay won again.
The 1918 series was postponed owing
to the Spanish influenza epidemic in
Brazil in October, and did not take
place until May, 1919, Rio de JaneirO
being the city and the victorious team
Brazil. The next series for the year
1919 will be held in Santiago late this
year. A plan to have the United
States enter this championship has
been frequently discussed here, with
view to making it an "all-American'
affair.
