Mrs. Lindsay entertained the wom-
ans Club, of Bethesda, at their home

The day before Laura and Ruth
Tuckerman, the two small daugh-
tiers of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Tucker
man. gave a little fair on their lawn

arranging everything themselves
They dressed little dolls and sold
them: sold pets such as chickens and
turtles; had grab bags, candy and

and all the money they made they

quite clever, too.
CHEVY CHASE CLUB
MAKES CHANGE IN RULES.
There seems to be general re-
joicing among the members of the
Chevy Chase Club that it has re-
Taxed a bit on its rules. Members
can take guests there any evening
after o'clock and on Tuesday and
Thursdays can take their friends
residents of Washington even-aIl
day for tennis or golf or bridge OF
tea or anything. Heretofore, the
members could not thoroughly en-
Joy the club because of its strict
rules and the majority Of the mem
bers were very much against them
but they prevailed until very re-
Gently
A notable gathering Of worth
while people met at the home OF
Maj. George Oakley Totten, that
beautiful studio of his on Sixteenth
street. which he loaned them for
the occasion. They met to form
some sort OF an organization to pro-
mote arts and crafts in Washing
ton. There was not much accom-
plished but at least a start was
made. Henry K. Bush Brown was
appointed chairman and the names
of all those present were taken and
some few details discussed. Then
Mrs. Vicken Won Post, the charm
ing Swedish sculptress, who has
been in town for several weeks,
showed some motion pictures OF
herself at work in her art studio
in Sweden.
Washington certainly owes a debt
of gratitude to George Totten for
his various efforts to aid in any
way within, his power any move
ment made in the city to promote
any of the arts. Which brings to
my mind the Washington Opera
Company which is planning now to
put on its first opera early in De-
cember. In November the COM
pany is going to give an opera cos
tune ball for the benefit of the
company. 1t is to be a very
unique and unusual affair and a
number Of opera stars will come
here from New York for the occa-
sion. Miss Alice Miriam of the
Metropolitan Opera Company, a pro.
tege of Col. and Mrs. Junkin, and
who sang so delightfully."- at their
home recently, is planning to come
to Washington to sing for the
Washington, company next winter.
