COMMUNITY SERVICE
DOES SPLENDID WORK.

The pageant was net as serious
or as difficult an undertaking, Of
course. as the tremendous pageant
the Navy Relief Society put on. That
pageant was formed by about 500
people and was very elaborate,
though Mfs. Marie Moore Forrest
who wrote, designed and directed IL.
says that il was quite a small un-
dertakinG compared to some of the
huge things she has done. She
enjoys her work so much; her work
Is making pictures with human be-
tngs instead of the brush. But her
way Of making pictures requires ex-
ecutive ability as well as artistic
talent and she surely has both. The
Community Service loaned Mrs.
Forests service to the Navy League
for that occasion. We are surely

OrioIe Ball.
The Humane Society was kept on
the jump last week owing TO the
fact that Washington papers pub
lished an article stating that an
oriole bird was to be released al
the Oriole Ball given by the Mary
land State Society at the New
Ebbitt hotel. February II. Officers
Of the Humane Society. probably
under the impression that oriole
birds are extinct, jumped to the
conclusion that those in charge OF
the ball were going to paint a can
airy and pass IL of as an oriole
When approached on the subject
indignantly denied they
were to paint a canary and inform
ed the Humane Society that Mary
landers were as much interested in
the humane treatment of birds as
the Humane Society.
Several weeks prior to the ball
arrangements were made with Ed
ward Schmid. proprietor of a bird
and pet animal store. to obtain a
Baltimore oriole and on the day OF
the ball. Mr.. Schmid produced the
real article.
Mr.. Gumpert. manager Of the New
Ebbitt hotel, had read about the
substitution of canary for an
oriole. and as a matter of self pro-
lection. Immediately began the
study Of 'birdology." as he termed
ii, via one ofthe famous correspond

brought to the hotel on the night
of the ball, Mr.. Gumpert asked "a

FOUNDING OF, THE
CONVALESCENT HOUSE,

Two years ago this month ground
was hrst broken for the Red Cross
Convalescent House at Walter Reed
Hospital. OF the volunteer women who
served with the relief organiza ton
there at that time, only two are still
on duty today. They are Mrs. ]. ].
Rogers and Mrs. Charles Warren. Sim
guiarly they are both from Massachu-
setts, though they have made Wash
lngton their home for several years.
Mrs. Rogers. who is the wife of the
Representative from the Bay State, is
a native of Lowell, and Mrs. Warren,
whose. husband Is Assistant Attorney
General, Is from Denham. .s.'
Many prominent women have come
and gone since these two ladies
were sent to the hospital from the
comforts section OF the District chap
ter. American Red Cross, by Mrs.
Henry r. Rea, of Pittsburg. who later
became the first woman field director
of the department of military relief
in the country. Mrs. Hugh Wallace,
wife of the present Ambassador to
France, was among the best known,
though there were numerous others,
whose names are familiar to dipIo-
matte, Congressional and local society.
At the. present time the volunteer
ladies In the service of the Red Cross
at Walter Reed Hospital are divided
into four groups. Mrs. Rogers. who.
like Mrs. Warren. is known as a ward

MISS MOCK'S
| lRECEPTION.

Miss Marie Clotilde Redfern will
pour tea at Miss Mock's studio cele-
bration OF George Washington's Birth
day on this afternoon in the old brick
Capitol built soon after the war of 1912
to house Congress while the Capitol
which had been burned by the British
was being rebuilt. II is one of the
most historic building in Washington,
and is especially appropriate for n
George Washington celebration, since
the Father of His Country WAS
so deeply concerned in its con-
struction. and he owned acres of
land adjacent to its vicinity. 1t
! is almost trite saying that
the statue OF Freedom on the new
Capitol faced that way in order to
keep the crows out of George Wash
ington's corn field. which does not
speak well for the beauty of the
statue. The building is listed among
American Bastiles," as it was used
during the civil war as an army prison.
Many Southerners of note having been
confined there.
Miss Mock's studio is the former As:
sociate Justice Fields library, and
she has recently installed n frieze of

hold some of the most picturesque

tree story written about fifty years
ago by Representative John Ford
House for his young nephew to re-
cite in an oratorical contest. Mrs.
Mock believes she has the only
copy of the verses extant. The Sc
lection gives a different motive to
the youthful hero Of the cherry tree
story than that generally ascribed,
to wit:
But he never reported the mis-
chief, you see,
TIL the old man discovered the
death of the tree.
And had the dead wood on him,
plain as your nose;
When twas safer by far the plain
truth to disclose.
Had he added a lie to the mischier
he'd done
He knew that his father would
whip him like run.
There was really no place for a
falsehood to stick;
And he came down with the truth
