Not even the most confirmed pes

which smiled upon the outdoor fes-

were two garden parties, one out at

And the Kauffman's were entertain

Society of the Archaeological Institute.
The regular meetings are over for the
season. But Mr.. and Mrs. Kauffman's
roses, too, are in bloom, and they ex-
pressed a desire to entertain the
society-why, the society was more
than delighted to be entertained. The
British Ambassador and Lady Geddes
were the special guests of the organ
ization, which numbers many OF the
most prominent men and women In
washington among its members.
There were likewise two garden
fetes on Thursday quite as diverse as
the two of yesterday-GeneralP PERISH

At this time of the year

weather. when II behaves so badly as
II has this season, comes in for con-
siderable "cussing and discussing.
Consequently, decided that the
,'peaker, pretty Mrs. Reeve Lewis,
vas right. particularly as she then
stood under a dripping COAX tree
struggling to hold an umbrella over
herself and huge, aspiring cluster
of gay red and blue and green and
gold balloons.
She went on to explain laushingly

though to explode perfectly good
theory, comes succession or days

and at least one garden party for

. 1t was at the Cathedral Close on
TUESDAY on the occasion OF the garden
party for the beneft of the House OF
Mercy that encountered Mrs. Lewis
and her balloons and even this fiesta,
despite it's bad beginning, came TO a
trium oh al close. The prayers OF the
righeous must have availed much Tor
the showers were stayed at the
psychological moment; and they really
manage, in spite of the weather to
have a very successful party there at
ST. Adams. The grounds were crowd
cd all afternoon and 1t was high
Testimonial to the esteem in which
the work of the House of Mercy is
held that so many of the really not
able people of Washington made
their way out to the Cathedral In
spite of threatening skies.
A good many came late. having
taken up the suggestion that thcy
could go to ''The Craft of the Tor
toise" and still be in time for the
garden party and many took advan-
tsge of the delicious salads, ices, etc,
which were served by a corps OF
pretty girls under Mrs. Lee Philips
direction to make sort OF a picnic
supper under the trees. The House
of Mercey's annual party is the one
benefit for which the Bishop allows
the lovely grounds Of the Cathedral
to be used and this gives an added
fillip of interest to the event.

while at least despite such opposition

The presentation of THE Craft of

so many other things on the carpet.

I had never heard of this daughter
of Fighting Bob" Evans going in
before for theatricals, even of the
amateur variety, but she proved her
self an actress of no mean attain

the dialogue that she didn't bring
out nor a gesture nor an expression
to enhance the value of the role that
she didn't make. Moreover, she has
grace and stage presence and she
made a wildering lovely picture in
