Cathedral school several sessions. and.
with her parents and sister. Mr.. and

most as much time in Washington as
they do In Warrenton. The Charring-
tons-that is TO say Mrs. charrington
and her son and daughter-willb be in
Wsrrenton at Overbrook in few

Mrs. Gilbert Green Is also there

Eleaor-and Mrs. Pete Lees (nee
Mazie Stone) and Anne Gordon Stone
Mrs. Lees has been in North Hatley

DREAM OF ENLARGING
wARRENTON LIBRARY,

And now what tinre is not given up
to talking about the horse show is de-
voted to the discussion of the dream of
a hospital in Wsrrenton and to the pos
siblc enlargement OF the Warrenton
library. Yes. that's being talked up.
too. A certain prominent citizen, who
has made splendid gifts OF books
from time to time is interested-and
who knows what might happen? The
library is really quite remarkable for
a little town, with a large number of
volumes and a wide selection. I re-
call there are some very, very old and
rare volumes, as well as the classics,
and grist of modern, up-to-date
books.
The institution boasts also some
valuable old papers and photographs
notably a letter of Thomas Jeffer-
son's--as we'll as the autographed
photograph presented to the town by
Theodore Roosevelt, President VIII
sons autographed photograph, etc.
There are 1000 volumes in the Ii
brary-they get, It seems to me. doZ-
ems OF the best magaZines-and they
have but one general room and
small reading room, and what won
derful thing 1t would be to give
library building or for that part
donate toward a building which
would be an ornament to the town,
Also the committee is hoping to add
to the children's department, owing
to the increasing Juvenile member
ship-this will also be increased Il
the gods are favorable. The library
has a splendid mombcrship-but 1t is
hardly elfsupporting-thls duo to
the large number of books purchased
each month. They are lucky. how
ever. for some one is always doing
something for them or giving bene-
ft performance" as Mrs. VICES
called 1t, to help them with their
finances. The most prominent people
OF the town are associated with the
library, though there have been but
three Librarians and one assistant,
who. by the way. has held this POSI-
tion since the library started.
As for tho hospitsl-but there, I'm
sworn to secrecy, so I'll have to stop
before / let cats out of bags. ! sup
pose I may say. however that when
the STORY breaks" It will have an es-
pecial interest for Washington.
While on this subject, do you re-
member my telling you of meeting at

In general conversation. There would
be screams OF dismsy II anyone were
TO suggest that the department could
dispense with his services. For he
knows more about the details of the
various treaties that the United
States has signed in the past half
century.-when history was rather
actively Sin the making, AS well as
various other activities I'm which the
department has had part, than any

Also he knows more about the
proper neutrality-suspicious. and

than Mr.. Cooke, one of the head men

all such matters. In fact there are
many matters about which he is AL

no longer be postponed. will be
serious one to the department.
