MRS. WALTER PENFIELD,


however. things have settled down a
bit, there has been a readjustment of
our sense of values, and we are ready
to take a proper interest in the dis
tinguished men and women who come
drifting into town from time to time.
For instance. Preparations are be-
ing made to make Maj. Gen. Sir Rob-
ert and Lady Baden PowelIs stay a
notable one. Sir Robert, you know,
is the father Of the entire scout
movement, the organizer of the Boy
Scouts in England, and it is in con-
nection with the National Council
meeting of the Boy Scouts younger
sisters, the Girl Scouts. to be held
here this week, that he is coming
to town. Lady Baden Powell is chief
commissioner of the Girl Guides. as
the scout organization among girls is
known in England.
The Baden PowelIs, who landed in
Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Wednesday
last, are due to reach Washington
on Tuesday and for the several days
they are here will be guests of
! Charles s. Hamlin, of the Federal
| Reserve Board, and Mrs i1amlin, who
| is commissioner of the Girl Scouts of
the District of Columbia. The Girl
Scouts convention will open on Tues
day, with Col. Robert NJ. Thompson
to make the address of welcome. and
next day there is to be A pageant
and rally at the Sylvan Theater on
the Monument Grounds. in which the
Scouts of the District will take part.
This is arranged especially in honor
| of Sir Robert and Lady Baden Powell,
! and the members of the national and
local councils of the Girl Scouts.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hamlin will give a
dinner Tuesday evening for their dis
tingUished guests, who are visiting
various cities in Canada and the United
States in the interest of the scout
movement, and later in the evening
Mrs. Henry +. Dimock is giving a big
reception for them. This probably
will be the most brilliant event Of the
week. for, in addition to the Girl
Scout officials from all over the coun-
try, Mrs. Dimock has invited diplo-
mats. officials and resident society
folk 10 meet the British lions. Other
parties are to be given for them. no.

anese statesman, is also here for a
week or so. staying at the ShoTeham,
and with him are DR.. Nitobe, scholar
and authority on "Bushido." and his
charming American wife. The Nitobes
were here several months ago, if mem

Two Grand Opera
ENenfa This Week.


Washington music lovers will come
into their own this week. Galli-Curci
is to sing on Tuesday, and not only
is the San Carlo Grand Opera Com
pany putting on a week of repertoire,
but on Friday afternoon the long
heralded single performance Of the
Scotti Grand Opera Company will
take place at Polls Theater. I'm told
that the house is pretty well sold out.
There's a notable list of box holders
and the matinee will be an event OF
considerable social Importance. Musi-
lcalIy-well, Mr.. Scott is to be assisted
by artists. chorus and orchestra re-
cruited principally from the forces OF
the Metropolitan Opera Company and
the bill is to be a double one, "L'Ora-

The San Carlo Company is putting
on a number of old favorites at the
Shubert-BeIasco, Aida" the Tales
of Hoffman," La Boheme," and
Nine. Butterfly" for instance; and I

for both Aida" and Butterfly" The
performances on Monday and Tuesday

Past Week Was
Somewhat Dull.

GOmCWn3l DuNs
The last week or two, however,
things have been a wee bit dull For
one thing, a good many people are
away
The william Phillips menage is
broken up, for example. They have
given up their house at woodley, and
Mrs. Phillips has taken the children
up to their summer home at North
Beverly. Having established them
there, she probably will divide her
time during the summer between them
and Mr.. Phillips, who has taken a
suite at Wardman Park Inn.
Mr.. and Mrs. Raymond Baker are
out Of town. Mrs. Baker has been
quite i'll in a New York hospital, and
is now at her apartment on Park ave-
nue. recuperating, while Mr.. Baker is
chaperoning her children up at the
summer home at Lenox. Mrs. Houston
who is one Of the Cabinet women
who has left participation on the loan
drive to her husband entirely-is get
ting ready to take her children up to
Woods Hole, where they have spent
every summer since Mr.. Houston has
been in the Cabinet, and then will &C
company her husband to California.
The Breckenridge Longs have been
down at Pinehurst and are keeping
very quiet since they got back.
There is much concern over the re-
port that Mr.. Polk, counselor of the
State Department and Acting Secre-
tary Of State, is far from well. The
strain of his duties has told on him
TO such an extent that it is under
stood he wants to resign as soon
as Secretary Lansing comes home, and
il the objection to his doing that is
too strenuous, will at any rate take a
long vacation. He is not a strong

long residence in Washington, the

when anything OF especial interest is

Anna Hamlin Home
From Visit to Boston,

Anna Hamlin is but recently back
from a series Of visits in Boston and
New York and is bubbling over with
enthusiasm. She had such a good
time! Her Boston visit was arranged
so that she could take in the famous
Vincent Club show, hardy annual"
and always the big event of the
spring season. Miss Hamlin couldn't
have a part in the show, as she
couldn't be present for rehearsals, but
she was one OF the ushers. 1t was a
musical extravaganza, THE Red
wig" quite beautifully done. The
dancing was marvelOus-to quote Miss
Hamlin-and among the bright par
ticular stars OF the cast were two
girls in whom Washington has a
proprietary interest-Frances and
Louisa Hoar. They both dance like

Noted Woman Doctor

Another visitor due in town this
week is DR.. Rosalie Slaughter Nor

OF the American Women's Hospitals.
that splendid organization through
which most of the work OF American
women physicians has been done dur
ing the war. DR.. Morton was the first
woman to volunteer for war work in
Serbia, and was the head Of a hos
pital unit there during long months
Of that little country's martyrdom.
She is to speak at the headquarters
OF the District OF Columbia Auxiliary
Of the Red Cross, 1890 Connecticut
avenue, tomorrow afternoon at .
o'clock, and it is of her experiences in
Serbia and the great struggle Of that
gallant little country TO stand between
civilization and the Hun that she will
tell.
DR.. Morton has been in Washing ton
several times in the last year or two
She spoke once in behalf of the Amer
lean Women's Hospitals something
over a year ago before a group 1T
notables, who were asked to meet her
at the home of Mrs. Walter Pcnfcld,

delphia, and her brother, Capt. John
H. Potter, who is just back from
overseas. For the rest a good many
interesting visitors have recently
come and gone. Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Lee, who were here for a brief stay
with her sister, Mrs. Stephen 3. Ell
kins, after spending the greater part
of the winter in the West have left
for their home in Elkins, w. Va. Maj.
Gen. and Mrs. George w. Read and
pretty Margaret Read have gone on
to Boston after stopping OF here fer
a few days and giving their friends
an all too brief opportunity to make
much of them. And Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam T. Payne, of Yokohama, Japan.
have left town after making a short
stay at the Grafton.
The Reads came to Washington
principally to see Mrs. Reads father,
Lieut.. Gen. S. B. NJ Young, u. S. A,
retired, who lives at the Soldiers
Home. General Read has been over
seas serving with the famous Rainbow
Division, and during his absence Mrs.
Read and her daughter helped run the
Hostess House at Camp Dix. New
Jersey.
The Baynes have a lot of friends
in Washington, and were enter
tanned pretty continuously during
their brief stay here. Mrs. Payne is
president of the Womens Auxiliary
Of the American Red Cross in the
Far East and has Travelled all over
Eastern Siberia in connection with
her relief work. Consequently, she
was able to give some interesting
side lights on the situation in that
Oart of the world in the little address
she made one day at the George
Washington University chapel. This
was one of the really brilliant courses
of lectures arranged by the univer-
sitys progressive president, DR.. Will
lam Miller Collier.

Altogether our grand opera week"
should have a fiillip OF interest to the
waning season. The President and
Mrs. Wilson will not be here to at
tend, as they did last year. but indi-
cations are that everybody, as is
anybody" now left in town, will be
present at some time during the
week.
New Spring VOgueS to
Come Out With Opera.
I'm wondering what the opera will
bring forth in the way Of spring
fashions in frocks, cloaks, and jewel
ry. In New York Wilson red" is
being worn generously at the opera,
and there is much turquoise blue,
taupe and some splendid green's.
Women wear gloves or not as they
see fit. The stickIer for convention
ality has ALWAYS cOntended that
gloves are indispensable with An
evening gown OF a formal character,
but the fact remains that bare arms
have the sanction Of some OF the best
dressed and most conservative women
in the country-and it's fashion too
comfortable to be lightly discarded.
Opera clOaks are very generally won
derful things of satin and rich bro
cades combined with wonderful furs
but, why give you a secondhand
dissertation on New York opera fash
ions when next week 1 can tell you
all about what smart women are
wearing here?

~ EAR SUSAN:
Washington heaved graf
IL sigh of relief at the news that
the President hsG finally called the
lonred-for extra session-and a whole
week earlier than the earliest date
heretofore suggested. Opinion had
been divided as to whether it would
he called for the last Monday in May
or the first in June. So the announce
ment that the call was out for May i9
was hailed with unconcealed satisfac-
ton.
For nearly three months the city
has been vibrating between apathetic
indifference and almost hysterical in
dirnation over the fact that it was
hampered at every turn by the lack OF
funds: Just as members of the incom-
ing. Congress have alternately sat
around kicking their heels and wasted
much energy-to say nothing OF IAN
szuaEe-straining at the leash and
champing the bit in their impatience
to get into action. Ut is hoped that
Won like your pickles, and your meta
phors. mixed No animal less accom-
plished than a national legislator
kicks his heels and strains at his
leash and champs his bit)
At all events Washington will lake
q new lease on life when Congress
comes in. And then after little the
President will be home from France
and presumably he'll be willing to
stay home for a while and will have
TO devote the greater part of the sum-
mer to digging his way out OF the
mass of work which is piled up wait
ing his return.
In the wake Of Mr.. Wilson will come
most of the group OF officials VINO
have been in Europe to attend the
peace conference, with their train CT
secretaries, experts, etc. And before
we are used to having them all back
home again I'll wager that well begin
to entertain a steady stream Of i'm
portant visitors from overseas. Alto
Eether it would seem that for con-
tinuous social activity and genuine
briIliance the coming summer should
put last winter to shame.
