COLBYs HOSTS At
LUNCHEON TODAY.

The Secretary of State and Mrs.
Colby were hosts at luncheon today
and their luncheon parties are al
WAYS something to look forward to.
Moreover, this Is the first entertain
ing they have done since the Secre-
tary got back from South America.
Mrs. Augustus T. Gardner also had
a luncheon today, and tonight Mr.. and
Mrs. George T. Marye are giving
dinner-a party for the young mar
ried set, with the Spanish Ambassa-
dor and Nine de Riano as the ranking
~ests.
Also "the General"-Pershing. of
course-is to be at home again and
this is the last time. Consequently
those who have missed calling before
will flock out to Highover and
rather suspect that there'll be some
"repeaters," for the generals recep-
tions have proved to be exceedingly
enjoyable.
Monday continued the pace which
last Sunday had set, naturally ac-
CELEBRATED a bit since there are still a
good many old fashioned enough to
prefer Sunday as a day of rest That
was the evening upon which the Con-
gressional Club gave its annual re-
ception for the Vice President and his
wife-the last time that the invita-
tions will read ito meet the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall" 1t was
also the evening upon which the
Pennsylvania Society held its annual
reception and ball and there was
further competition from the gala
opening of "way Down East" at
Polls Theater which brought out a
singularly brilliant audience.
Nevertheless, the Congressional
Club was crowded all evening. The
club house provides a lovely setting
for a party, with its graceful stair

ROUND OF DINNERS PRECEDED
FUNCTION.

Frank L. Polk, sometime Under
Secretary of State and Mrs. Polk
came down from their home in New
York for the occasion-their first
visit since they severed their connec-
ton with official life-and were made
royalty welcome. And the Ernest
Schellings, who came on for the ball,
remained to visit Mr.. and Mn. Robert
Woods Bliss and to take part in
numerous other festivities. The
Blisses gave a dinner before the ball,
a rather larger dinner than they
usually have, with many of the New
Workers here, for the embassy party
numbered among their forty guests.

an attack of grippe, they decided
that they would not impose upon her

CHINESE BALL TO
AID RELIEF DRIVE.

A large fund was raised on the
spot-I wasn't able to learn the exact
amount pledged-and plans were out
lined for a Chinese ball to be given
on Easter Monday evening for the
benefit OF the famine relief--a beauti-
full and brilliant ball in one of Wash
ington's handsomest private homes.
The guests are all to be in Chinese
costume and the ball will open with
play put on by honest to goodness
Chinese actors in the genuine Chinese
manner.

MANY LOVELY GOWNS
FROM PARIS SEEN.

Many lovely Paris gowns made
their first appearance at the ball
and one suspected that some Of them
had been ordered with a view to
being worn at the inaugural ball.
Velvets in the loveliest and richest
Of shades, gorgeous metallic bro
cades, pailetted robes and flmy
tulles blended in a lovely colorful
picture, with the flash of jewels
for high lights; and in all the
throng no one was more handsomely
and appropriately gowned than the
hostess. Baroness de Cartier's
clothes are always the last word in
elegance and, on her return from
her trip abroad last summer, she
bought with her quantities of lovely
gowns with Paris writ in every line.

How to Know Good Muslin

Ifyou could look at muslin through
a microscope, as a scientist would,
you could judge the quality almost at
a glance
Coarsely woven muslin is often filled
with chalk to make it appear fine and
smooth when new. 1t looks better
than it really is, because Of this adul-
teration. But after it is laundered it
looks as thin as cheesecloth, because
the chalk washes out
Sometimes the chalk is added SO cum
ningly that washing is the only test.
At other times it is done so crudely
that you can make this simple test at
the counter: Rumple the muslin brisk
ly between your fngers-the fine white
powder will fall out.
Try any test with Fruit of the Loom
You can see for yourself that it is mus
lin Of high quality. For it is all cotton.
No chalk IS used.

Red Squirrel so far away that it was
very faint. Whitley heard it, too. Once
more he looked all around. Then he
spread his broad white wings. and
without a sound flew off in the direc-
ton in which he had heard Chatter
er's sharp voice. Not until he was
out Of sight did Peter breathe as
freely and easily as before he had seen
Jumper race for his life. He waited a
few minutes, then hurried over to that
Little thicket of crowded hemlock
trees to tell Jumper how glad he was
that he had escaped.

ORNAMENTAL COAT FOR SPRING.
by ANNE RTTyTENHoTsE.

two years. 1t was worn by smart
women during the end of the war. and
the public followed suit as soon as
the armistice was declared. The rea-
son for the cape was a bit pathetic.
II was used as a shield for frocks that
lad seen good service and could not
be renewed because of lack of money
! md the feeling of the French that no
woman should indulge in the extrava-
eance of new clothes when bandageS
were needed for wounds America,
be il said to her everlasting credit
and ii should be said constantly and
with vigor in the ears of the English
and F'rench-took the same attitude.
France was cold and France was
poor. and the cape came back into
fashion to fill its century-old mission.
II is the earliest of all garments to
form n covering for man and it was
quickly adopted in the early centuries
as a covering for women. Women.
you know, had very little invented
for them in apparel They merely
took the left-overs from men.
The cape became a Fashionable gar
mcnt after Franco ceased to be cold
and poor. 1t was the reason for the
disuse of the tailored suit. 1t is
strange that Paris held on to the Sc
we're coat and skirt after America had
abandoned it; hut Paris was copying
the English. 1t was they who in
spired most of her fashions during
the war when clothes were not typ
ically French.
We are concerned. however. with
America and her preferences. The
women in this country turned cold
shoulder to the masculine suit. May
be the abandonment of it was a
phase; if so. it has lasted a long time.
The effort to reinstate the suit
through the Introduction of circular
skirt and an ornamental box coat is
to be the determined work of the
n 70 n l. hnt in FRAN
The circular skirt was introduced in
December along with the full gath
cred skirt which France had thrown
| like a bomb shell into the field of ap-
parel.
| The very fact that the manufacture
ers were putting out such clothes as a
| bait to those who wanted a change is
| good evidence that the fashion will
succeed in the spring. 1t may be that
women will adopt the box coat for the
street and hedge bit on the circular
skirt, but it will not be long before
they accept both. The short. narrow
| skirt is doomed.
| Next in Importance to the box coat
and the oriental cape is the new kind
| of coat worn over a one-piece frock or
! blouses. 1t is a compromise between
a Russian coat and a cape. The
sketch shows one. 1t is built Of blue
twill. There is one-piece frock fin
ished with yoke and sleeves of gray
I georgette. The coat, which is the
significant part Of the costume. is in
tended to serve for all other costumes
as a substitute for cape on the fig
ures of those to whom capeS are an
| domination.
This coat is loose. the sleeves i'm
portantly large, with picturesque cuffs
of gray faille. The large collar is
also of the corded silk. There is a
thick gray cord at the waist to keep
J the coat from being a CAPE
