BRnLINT RECEPTION GIVEN
BY ARMY AND NAVY CLUB

II was warm at the beginning Of
last week, and Monday evening
threatened to be a most unfortunate
date for the army and navy reception
In honor OF the Secretary of War.
John w. Weeks, and the Secretary of
War and Mrs. Edwin DENLY. But as
IL happened all conditions were just
right for one OF those rare social
events that remain always in memory.
A shower cooled the air and a perfect
June night invited the hundreds OF
guests to pass the greater part Of the
red-letter evening out on the roof,

Ever since Monday evening I have
believed more than ever In military
discipline, for the reception was con-
Quoted with the perfect system that
distinguishes the army service. From
the moment that the guests passed
through the doors of the fne club
house until they reached the outdoor
ballroom there was no crowdins, no
wondering where to go next or what

were there uniformed men to point

naval and marine corps officers and
the olive drab of the army, but. with
few exceptions, the walters wore the
dress suits. IL was no wonder that
the pictorial side of the reception will
remain ever in the memory. As the
guests In single file slowly progressed
toward the receiving line. making
many a turn, there was abundant
chance TO greet friends and by the
time that the lounge was reached this
interesting dress parade seemed all
