lied golf club and the wearing of
the knickerbockers or breeches-
KNICkERBoCKER CUP
TO BE TROPHY.
The trophy will be the Knicker-
booker Cup. The match Is said to
be the first of its kind planned in
the United States, where one Of the
rules in the contest required the
wearing of that particular costume.
Though the first of its kind, the club
members firmly believe that 1t will
not be the last and prophesy the day
when all women golfers will seek
the comfort and modesty of the new
garments. The members insist thar
the 'knickers" are much more mo-
est than the wind-blown, awkward
skirt worn generally today.
The match is to be staged at the
Bannockburn Club, and II Is safe to
prophesy that it will be attended by
large and interested audience.
One of the very incest parties of
the week was the tea Maj. George
Oakley Totten gave Friday after
noon at that beautiful studio home
of his in Sixteenth street. The
guests were asked to meet Ernest
Brenot, of the French Opera Com
pany, which will appear at Polls
under the auspices of the Washing
ton Opera Company, during the
week of December IS. In the first
place. all of George Oakley's par
ties are a great success: one al
ways has a good time there, for he
makes a dandy host. Then just to
be in that house is a Joy; 1t is so
beautiful and artistic-truly artis-
tic. That big living-room-I haven't
words to describe 1t to you with
justice. SO won't try. It was par
ticularly lovely that gloomy after
noon- with its soft lights and big,
roaring open fire.
1t was a distinguished company
that gathered there. too; a number
of diplomats and others, including
Mrs. George Barnett, Mrs. Randolph
Miner, Mrs. Wilbur j. Carr, Mrs.
Cornell Wilson, Mrs. Peter A. Dru-
~, Miss Jamie Hearon, Roger Tred-
well and his sister. Miss Tredwell;
RRlph Totten, a cousin of the ma
Is; Miss Rosamond Starr and her
fance, John W. Belt; Mrs. walms-
Icy and Betty Walmsley, Col. ana
Mrs. F. T. A. Junkin, Mrs. Mitchell
Carroll, Mr.. and Mrs. John W.
Thompson. Miss Natalie Magruder,
Capt. and Mrs. Carlo Huntington,
Mrs. John Dillon, Judge lives, Miss
Katherine Foss, Mr.. tahovary, Ma
rian Trumbull. Mr.. Van Lennep,
Gen. George o. Squier, Franklin
Clark, the miniature painter; Com
nander and Mrs. Robert Henderson,
Mrs. John B. Henderson, Louis
Thompson, who sang several lovely
solos; Commander and Mrs. Claude
had a small dinner
PARTY last evening, taking their
guests later out to Chevy Chase 70
Claude Langlais and
many others.
But I'm saving the sad news for
last-M. Brenot didn't materiallze.
Not that any missed him much ex-
cept the host and Mr., and Mrs.
Edouard Albion, who were respon-
sible for his appearance. Mr.. Al
bton, you know, Is that clever art
ist who organized and is running
the Washington Opera Company.
which is doing such marvellous
work, and which has SO greatly in
terested Maj. Totten. The guests all
had such a good time visiting with
esch other that they didn't miss the
singer, and then Louis Thompson,
tenor, sang, which always a treat.
Mrs. Louis Potter, soprano, too,
sang delightfully."-. They are both
resident members of the Washing
ton Opera Company.
Finally and most reluctantly At
about the guests drifted away
that is, most of them did. though a
few stayed on for dinner. when
the Abions returned to their apart
ment there sat NJ. Brenot-he had
gotten his hours-not his dates
mixed in some way and had ar
rived after they had left for Maj.
Totten's- So back they all went
to the majors later in the evening
and had some party, I can tell YOU.
The dinner guests were already
there and the major telephoned for
others. and by 1880 his place was
again well filled with notables. Al
whole party Of diplomats came I'm
together; think they had dined |
together some place, but am mot
sure. Ny, what a good time every
one had, NJ. Brenot proved to be
delightful; his recital was charm
ing and the audience appreciatiye.
