JOHN CUNNINGHAM

II was a large party It was nice
to see John Cunningham again. He
has been abroad for three or four
years, you know. He was married
several years ago (rather to the
surprise of his friends here though
he had been contemplating the step
for long time and had known the
lady all his lifc), and went to Hong
Kong where he remained about a
year. He was in the navy during
the war. but is out of the service
now and is connected with the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce and is to live indefinitely in
Chicago. He is just here for week
or so on business and left Mrs. Cum
ninsham in New York, but she witt
join him here if he is delayed here
much longer. There isn't a more
popular man in Washington than
John Cunningham and it seems 100
bad he isn't going to settle in
Washington. He hailed originally
from New York State-Glens Falls,
l believe-but lived here for some
years before he received his COM
mission in the navy. He was al

Miss Jackson has already inter

in her scheme, including Gen. Will

of a number of others, also, whose

The tournament will probably run
about ten days and the meet will
consist of two principal events-the
open championship, without handi-
caps, and the handicap event.
Selection of both mounts and
players for places on the represen-

APPEAL FOR
OLD CLOTHES.

Then last week Mrs. Thomas p.
Walsh and her devoted assistant,
Mrs. Allan Dougherty, made an ap-
peal to the people of Washington
an appeal for children's garments
of all Kinds to be used for the needy
children Of the District as they have
already started their work-rooms
again.
During the war Mrs. Walsh turned
her palatial residence into a minia-
ture factory for the making over of
clothing for women and children
particularly the children--of Bel
gium and other devastated coun-
tries. She was decorated by Queen
Elizabeth of Belgium for the won-
derful work she had done, the pres
entation of the order taking place
on that historic occasion when the
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
entertained the King and Queen of
the Belgians at dinner in Mrs.
Walsh's great drawing room-the
very apartment which had so long
been used as a work-room.
Now they ask, entreat everyone
to send children's clothes of all
sorts to Mrs. Walsh's home, 202e
Massachusetts avenue, so that they
can put them into condition to be
worn by the needy children of our
own city. They want clothes for
babies and for older children, par
ticularly those suitable for children
under the age of 10; shoes, under
clothing. hats, everything children
wear. Just now, for example. they
have needy family of six children
ranging from babies up to 10 years
which they want to clothe for the
winter throughout. If you once saw

children that clever pair OF women

PLAN TO ORGANIZE
HUNT IN MARYLAND.
The riders at the popular Jumps"
last Sunday had their heads to-
gether gossiping over a scheme to
organize a hunt in Maryland for
horsemen and women from wash
ington. Maryland and Virginia.
Elizabeth Jackson is chiefly re-
sponsible for the plan and is ener-
getically pushing II with the hope
of holding the first meet in Novem-
Der.
Can you imagine anything more
delightful? November is the ideal
hunting month and IL the weather
continues to be as delightful as it
has been so far in October it will
be simply perfect.
The plan is to borrow Mrs. Cy
Cummings dogs for a time until the
hunt is able to support a kennel of
its own. You know, Mrs. Cum
mings has a fine kennel and she has
kindly offered the use OF her dogs
to help further the plans for the
hunt. She is a frequent visitor at
the Jumps" though she had gone
before I got there last week. She
rides quite splendidly, you know,
and always has the most wonderful
horses.
Miss Jackson was saying that her
fathers place out near Avenel.

place to hunt. 1t is about 600 acres.

COUNSEL FOR PRISONERS.
Court Appoints Only in Cases OF Murder
or Manslaughter.

The Court of General Sessions never
appoints counsel for prisoners except
in murder or manslaughter eases and IN
those in which assault with intent to
murder is charged. In this the court
follows the practice of very many years;
The three Negroes who were sentenced
to twenty years in the New Castle County
Workhouse yesterday by Judge Boyce
for conspiracy to rob at Claymont, were
given every opportunity to get counsel,
the court even acting upon It's owl
initiative in postponing the case from
time to time 10 aid the Negroes
1t was pointed out today that the
prisoners must have failed to realize
the seriousess of the charge. They were
sentenced under an old common law,
under which the court might have given
a great deal more time had 1t chosen TO
do so.
