LITTLE THEATER
GROWS POPULAR.
w TAsHINGToNs Little Theater.
NV q new venture here. is grow
w ing rapidly in popularity. and
a number Of smart thester parties
were given there last week. The
plays are planned with children in
mind. but they are all also Of in
terest to grown people. Now that
the public has discovered that there
is a Little Theater here and have
located in at 1742 Church street.
there is a demand that the perform
ance be given every evening.so from
now on the theater will be open
every evening except Sunday.
A number of rich society women
have been meeting lately and lay
ing plans for a woman's national
civic foundation, and now that or
ganization has just purchased the
huge Dean estate in the heart OF the
residential section Of the city. Con-

acres, mind you. and there is a fine
old mansion on II and many wonder
full ancient trees. The plans include
large clubhouse with space for
offices to be used by women's or
ganizations having headquarters In
Washington. There will be COM
mittee rooms. a ballroom, restsu-
rants and q theater, a rest room
writing rooms, drawing rooms and
an auditorium, where public qucs-
ltions may be discussed and large
meetings held. There will be a syl-
van theater in the grounds also
Everything imaginable. in short. It
will all be done on so large scale
THAT IL can accommodate the social
land educational as well as the bust
ness interests OF the women of the
country-not just Washington. YOU
understand The projectors are all
smart society women with plenty OF
means. The foundation will imme-
Idiately take possession OF the prop
lerty and the first work will be done
on the sylvan thester. for which a
natural wooded dell is well adapted
A garden party is being planned for
this month in order to introduce the
public to the new center Of interest
to women.
The summer address this year for
large number OF Washingtonian'
will be somewhere in Europe" and
this change of address is beginning
already. as the vanguard has begun
to blaze the way for a new summer
playground for society.
Never before has there been such
large quota of Washington people
taking the trip at one season and
the character OF the travellers will
be more or less changed. No longer
will II mean that middle-agec
couples with their families will pre-
dominate among those visiting the
Old World, but groups Of girls, prop
erly chaperoned, of course, viii o'
among the tourists. II will be
.ommon experience for Washington
ians to meet in Paris or in Rome
The lure of Europe has been mad'
stronger by the war and the closel
feeling of mountaineering anS
knowledge OF Europe and Euro
peans. Some washingtonians in
tend to rent cottages and becom'
summer residents in towns o
Southern France or Switzerland
Others have no stated place of resi-
dence. preferring to spend thei
visit in travel. Every day the las
of these sojourners in Europ
grows in number and will continu
2 TO increase. of course. for the mex
e two or three months.
