Elizabeth Tucker Says
Boxing Is Cleanest
OF All Sports

BRECKENRIDGE, Tex, July IA
Say, girls! How would you like to
enter the fight game-as manager
ard promoter?
Miss Elizabeth Tucker recommends
it as one of the best sports for Wo-
men.
And she bases her recommends
ticn on experience.
1.-THE fight game offers Opportunl-
ties for individuality, financial re
Enumeration, plenty Of diversion and
requires business ability" says she
Brothers Are Battlers.
Everybody in Breckenridge knows
about Lonnie and frankie Tucker.
They have been battling in the light
weight division and both have mighty
good records.
And recently she took her Two
brothers to Cincinnati in search OF
bouts.
And that is only the first STOP
ping place." says Miss Manager. u

maybe both of them - up againS,

when we fight, we win. ! al
ways use the word 1--WE" IN speaking
of our fights, because | always fight
as hard as the boys do
Miss Tucker laughs at the idea
that the fight game is too rough for
women.
"Cleanest Sport"
at is a mistaken idea" says she,
''to think that prize fighting is be
meath women. It's the cleanest OF
all sports 1t brings out the most IN
a man, teaches him self-defense and
brings into action the best OF his
mental and physical being.
"A man cannot be a winner who
is not clean morally and mentally
and these two sides must be develop
ed as much as the muscles. Our gov
eminent recognized the value OF
boxing at our war training camps.
Miss Tucker is considerable of an
athlete herself. She's an expert
swimmer, horsewoman and motor
cyelist.
Says She's Vet.
1.-The boys and l don't need much
outside entertainment in off-bout

and play together Tor recreation and

Miss Manager was Is when she

figured her brothers needed someone

LADIES OF SENATE
CONTINUE RELIEF WORK.

The ladies of the Senate first
came together during the war to do
Red Cross work and have continued
to carry on rather than lose the
driving power Of such an orgauiza-
tion. The wife of the Vice Presi-
dent is ex-officio president of the
Organization, so Mrs. Calvin Coolidge

CONGRESSIONAL PARTIES
ARE GAINING PRESTIGE.

The Congressional Clubs parties are
gaining prestige from season to sea
son and now rank with some OF the
most brilliant OF the winter. And the
club is doing rather more than it's bit
in the way OF entertaining just now,
for on Tuesday will come the annual
breakfast at Rauscher's-with Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson as the guest OF
honor, and a little later in the week
the club is giving a reception for the
Speaker of the House and Mrs. Gil

Moreover. one might have supposed
that Congressional elections were
over and done with long ago, but no
the Congressional Club held It's
elections on Wednesday and the La
dies of the Senate the day before.
The new officers OF the Congressional
Club will, however, not take office
until March 4, when the new Con-
gress comes in. Mrs. Irwin l. Len.
root, wife of Senator Lenroot, will
succeed Mrs. Ward, wife OF Congress
man Ward, as president-it being q

Myer had luncheon one day last week,
with Lady Geddes sharing honors with
her two visitors; and, OF course, they
were entertained at the Belgium en-
bassy.
The breakfast which the Belgian
AMBASSADOR and Baroness de Cartier
give for them was, indeed. perhaps
the most brilliant of the parties by
which last Sunday was marked. They
were more by way of being functions
than Sunday parties usually are, per-
haps because the weeks are not long
enough to hold all the luncheons,
dinners, teas. etc, which simply must
be wiped of the slate before Lent
shuts down upon US. The Joseph

BELGIAN EMBASSY BALL WAS
GAYEsT OF AFFAIRS.

The ball at the Belgian embassy on
Friday night was one OF the gayest
and most brilliant functions given In
Washington in a notably gay and
brilliant season and brought to town
more interesting visitors" than have
been drawn here by any single func-
tion since the mammoth reception
given last winter in honor Of the
Prince of Wales. Why, fully forty
people came on from New York. some
in their private cars, some coming
down by motor.
Among them were various mem
bers of the Vanderbilt clan-Mrs.
william X. Vanderbilt and Miss
MurieI Vanderbilt; Mrs. George w.
Vanderbilt. in whom Washingtonians
say still feels a proprietary interest
although she has not occupied her
big house here for several seasons.
and her daughter, Miss Cornelia
Vanderbilt. Mrs. Vanderbilt stayed
at a hotel, but Miss Cornelia was the
quest for a few days of Mrs. Charles
S. Bromwell and Miss Mildred Brom-
we'll and several parties in her honor
contributed their bit to the general
measure of gayety.

Another important event on the
calendar yesterday was the marriage
of Miss Alexandrine Fitch, daughter
of Mrs. Henry w. Fitch, to Major
Creswell Darlington. u. s. A. The
wedding was in st. Johns Church,
hallowed by the memories of so
many bonnie brides, and afterward
there was a small reception at the
home of Mrs. Fitch in the Connecti-
cut. Major Darlington, an engineer
officer himself, is the son of Brig
adler General and Mrs. Ernet Gar
lington. and his bride is the daugh-
ter of the late Captain Fitch, u

were equally interested in the we'd

Another OF the delightful farewell
parties was the luncheon which Mrs.
John Hervey Young gave for Mrs.
Josephus Daniels. The most original
feature was talk by Captain
Yoshitake Uyeda, naval attache OF
the Japanese embassy who wound
up with a pretty tribute 20 Mrs.
Daniels 20 which she responded very
charmingly. The thirty-six guests
were seated at four tables, at each
OF which a guest OF honor presided.
Baronss Shidehara was hostess az
one, Lady Geddes at another, ana
Mrs. Cabot Stevens at the third, with.
of course, Mrs. Daniels and the
hostess seated at the fourth. Mrs.

There were so many festivities on
the calendar last week that it's quite
impossible TO write OF them all. A
few things, however, demand at least
passing mention-the Press Clubs
frolic at Keith's Theater, with the
bzrilliance of the audience only
brilliance OF the audience only
of wit; the "navy bail" at the willard,
perhaps the largest ball OF the year.
and the Tuesday evening ride at tho
Riding and Hunt Club. The attend
ance at the last was rather smaller
than usual, both as to the riders and
as to the gallery" but when they
came together after the drill to dance
IL was a merry little company. Later
in the evening some of the guests
went on to the Willard TO the navy
ball. which-to give its official de-
scription-was the last of the series
| of three dances given by the officers

have such an early Lent to shorten
the season in the last winter OF an
Administration. You hear a lot about
the legislative jam up on "the Hill,
but that Is a mere bagatelle-snd any
how it's biennial up at the Capitol
as compared with the social jam
when everybody is trying TO get

about two weeks Topped off from tho

sorts OF farewell hospitalities for
prominent and popular outgoing Off
cials and their wives. who are, on
their side, trying TO get packed In the
intervals of accepting these farewell
hospitalities and paying on all their
own accumulated social debts. It's
maddening, that's what II is.
Add to this an influx of visitors
from other cities and a round OF par
ties especially In their honor, and
well, the brief lull which usually fol-
lows Ash Wednesday should be ex-
ceedingly welcome. Washington now
wears Its sackcloth and ashes jaun-

old fashioned way seems to have gone
out OF fashion. But there Is a notice
able difference in the character Of the
parties which are given during the
forty days which the churchill you
are a Catholic or an Episcopalian-
sets aside for prayer and fasting. And
society Is usually SO glad to draw
breath after the end-of-the-season
whirl that there Is always a measur-
able period after Ash Wednesday be-
fore even the simpler Lenten diver
