Happy Easter to you!

Lent and Holy Week are things
OF the past and the Easter season
Is here; season which gives prom
tse of being a close second to the
winter for brilliancy. Balls, din
ners. receptions, luncheons. paper
chases, horse shows, races-every
sort of indoor and outdoor enter
tainment are already crowding the
social calendars, with more func-
tions developing every day. not
which are always feature of the
spring season.
Spring is already several weeks
old but is only beginning to display
its spring dress The willow trees
seem to be among the first of the
trees to burst forth into the fresh
light green of spring. notice
along the Speedway that the willow
/ trees are in full leaf while the bas-
ket willows are still quite brown.
But the warm rains of the last few
days will make them all blossom
forth very soon now. The home of
! Capt. and Mrs. Charles Harlow, of
Massachusetts avenue has had for
some days now, a brilliant border
OF bright colored tulips and hya-
cinths in full bloom and just be-
yond them the terraces of wendall
mansion are a golden mass of
forsythia in full bloom. The parks
seem to be a bit behind the private
gardens but probably will burst
into bloom over night. / know the
willow tree on my lawn was dreary
and brown one day and in full leaf
the next morning.
COUNTRY CLUBS
SHOWING LIFE.
The country clubs are taking a
new lease on life. The golf links
are alive with players and the tennis
courts occupied by worKmen rolling
and putting them into shape. The
terraces and tea rooms are fiIled
with parties. They will be even
gayer in a few days when the folks
who slipped out of town to spend
Easter elsewhere, begin. to roam
homewards. Quite a number of peo-
pie have departed during the last
few days for some resort or to visit
relatives or their own home town.
Many of those who remained have
guests for the holidays: usually,
relatives and the children of the
family are enjoying the spring va
=.
And many of the parties of the next
few days will center about the
school children. Lots of them
brought classmates home with them
or have grasped this opportunity to
have some of their little friends
visit them. The Baker children
have had guests for more than a
week now; old friends from their
Cleveland home. Mrs. Mcmillan
Gibson has her young son. James
Mcmillan Gibson. with her: the
school girl daughters of DR.. and
Mrs. Gerry Morgan are home with
several young visitors and the

week, but he mas departed again.
