popular of all the Robinson daugh-

she and her sister, Mrs. George
Mordecai, the one-time Champ
Robinson, are the only Robinson
girls who still live in Baltimore.
Lota Robinson can be Classed, af-
ter all these years, as a fuIl-fledged
New Yorker though Washington
claims her, too. Florence Robinson
married. much against the wishes
of her parents, Richard Barry, of
Baltimore. She died shortly after
the wedding, and it is said Mrs.
Robinson never really recovered
from the shock.

her mother was attempting to stir
up" American society, and what was
more natural than that she should
do something exciting, such as
eloping?
The man in the case was William

Delaware and some two years later
were separated. Mary Robinson
Boykin is now Mrs. John NJ. Gross.
and for time lived in both Pitts
burgh and Philadelphia.
SURPRISED
AT CLOSE FRIENDSHIP.
None of these married daughters
of Mrs. John NJ. Robinson ever
gained social prominence equal to
that attained by herself and her
daughter Lota, and it is said the
real old Maryland aristocracy was
bit surprised at the manner in
which they became closely identi-
fed with the late Mrs. Fish and the
late Mrs. Astor. There is nothing
strange in it. after all, as the Rob
inson family certainly possess a
creditable family tree.
Charles NJ. Robinson. Lota's uncle,
has played a more or less prominent
part in the fashionable world in
New York for a number of years.
and he tells many interesting anec-
dotes of the era when his late sis
ter-in-law was trying to put life
into society both here and at Bar

The two children Of the late Ran
dolph Robinson, the late Moncure
Robinson and Mrs. Putnam. also
achieved the social spotlight, eS-
pecially Mrs. Putnam, whom one en-
counters so frequently at the Ritz,
Delmonico's, the Plaza and other
haunts of the smart sets.

little court. which included Harry
Lehr, would prove a sensation in
these days If they were able to again
attempt their unusual antics.
We have advanced much since the

There will never be another Mrs
Robinson or another Harry Lehr.

on Tuesdays are to be especially
good ones: they are to be Planned

for the dancing is fine.

interest in them seems to be greatly
increasing, too. The arnfx- officers in

polo matches here this spring. They
are to start as soon as the ground
is suitable. The officers are prac-
tising three times a week now at
the riding hall at Fort Myer; are
working hard and are going to put
on some great matches. They plan
to bring teams-not just army
teams-from the different parts of
the country here. They are trying
now to arrange for the teams at
Pinehurst and Southern resorts TO
stop here en- route home. They're
going to have tournaments just like
they did before the war-msybe bet

be staged at the Potomac Park polo

 The Odd Fellows hall, which holds considerable swarm, was packed to near suffocation, but in the merry making mood. nobody gave a deli cate little darn. Way Out West was still in the air, and the same spirit that animated the jazz show at the fair grounds had held out to cover the evening-so to speak-festivities.
 The management of the w. O. w. put Mister Jimmyson, the amiable clothier in charge of the soft drink concession, and he mopped up. The dance was a financial success and did lot of good on that old deficit.
