Mrs. Charles b. Ward. president OF
the club, who looked like a debu-
tante that evening in a short and
very becoming black gown. and
seemed to be having an especially
good time because She didn't have
to stand In the receiving line. OF
, course, she would have headed the
line. but she had been in Atlantic
City and wasn't sure she would
reach town in time for the recep-
tion. She did. but she didn't arrive
at the party until late. and just
passed down the line herself, and
then proceeded to have a good time
Mrs. Medill Mccormick headed the
line and looked very gorgeous in
deed in a stunning gown of fame
colored and gold brocade. Mrs
Lowden. who accompanied her to
the reception. wore gown very
much like II, only It was of green

MAY RETURN TO STAGE.
The general danced with Izetta
Jewell Brown, too. who came there
with her mother. several house
guests and John c. Koons. First As
sistant Postmaster General. who. by
+ the way. looks very much like a
Latin American. He is q, widower.
having lost his wife about a year
IL ago. Mrs. Brown. whose late hus-
band was very wealthy, and a Rep
sentative from West Virginia.
was a delegate from that State to
the d. A. r. Congress, and enter
tained at a tea Thursday for the
other West Virginia delegates. Mrs.
Brown has sold her house on Four
teenth street and will return short
ly to her home in Kingwood, about
the middle of May, to close it up be-
fore sailing for Europe, where she
will study Spanish and dramattcs in
Spain. She will be accompanied by
her mother and little daughter. 1t
is rumored that she Is considering
returning to the stage-has had
many offers-and perhaps she may
decide to go on the Spanish stage.
But those are only rumors. There
is much talk in West Virginia OF
sending Mrs. Brown to Congress
from her husbands district, IL the
women get the vote. She was an
ardent worker for the suffrage
amendment in West Virginia during
the recent warm fight in that State.
1t has been said that she Is the only
candidate who could win on the
Democratic ticket.
Meanwhile, she is going abroad.

for May, but because of the matter
of selling her house, she will now
be delaying in sailing a month or
so. At her tea Thursday Mrs. Brown

Mrs. Edgar Williams and Mrs. Ralph
Sturgeon, with Mrs, Edgar Williams,
wife Of Commander Williams, at the
tea table. Mrs. Brown will appear
in the beneht performance being ar
ranged by Mrs. Henry F. Dimock for
the Washington Memorial.
FRED DENNETTs ENTERTAIN
MORE FRED DENNETTs.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred bennett intro
duced me that evening at the Con-
gressional Club to their house
guests, Mr.. asd Mrs. Fred bennett.
1t seems that though their names
are just alike and also the names
Of their fathers and grandfathers
before them, the two Mr.. Dennetts
are DO relation-at least SO far as
they know. One of them comes al
most directly from England. while
the family of the other has been In
this country for several hundred
years, Yet when Dorothy bennett
visited the daughter of the other
Fred Denpetts at their home, in She
boygan, Wis, everyone thought that
they were sisters, because they SO
| closely resembled each other. 1t
seems strange, doesn't it, and in
clines one to believe that they must
have come from the same family
way back some place. Fred Den
nett. of Wisconsin, is a large manu-
facturer. The D. A, r. Congress
brought them to town, and they left
the end of the week.
rorIner secretary ana Mfs. Lans-
ing arrived late that evening. They
both look so well and SO refreshed
Mrs. Lansing said she Is just having
beautiful time; that she never
stays home and does only the things
she wants to do these days. She
looked very we'll at the Lane -Kauff-
mann wedding Wednesday. That
was a lovely wedding! never
knew st, johns Church, especially
since they spelled II by remedelins
| 1t, could look SO lovely, The altaI
was just a mass of fruit blossoms
and pink rambler roses. There were
palms and ferns and other spring
| flowers, too, but one only seemed tc
