Then the Georgetown Assembly
gave one of its dances last week.
The old Georgetown Assembly-all
old washingtonians know that
those dances have been given here
for about seventy-fve years and
a,s>elmong the most select and aris-
tocratic of Washington's social in
stitutions. They are now given in
old Linthicum Hall in Georgetown,
and the members of the receiving
line now were girls who used to
go to the assemblies as soon as
lney Uldue their ucDut, anu lHe
| same was true of their mothers be-
fore them. The dances were drst
started when Georgetown was a
thriving city and Washington was
a mere infant town, and all of the
diplomats. officials and social lead
ers had their homes in Georgetown
just as many of them are now re-
siding there again. Georgetown Is
| surely taking a new lease on life,
and I don't NOW of any more
charming part of the city to live in.
Then the Percy Thompsons of
| Georgetown gave two parties last
week; a dinner and later a dance
for their daughter, ,-Elizabeth, and
Ann Woodville. another George

him more good than all the doctors
in the world could have done. Ger
tainly the public's interest in Mr..
Wilson has not lessened one bit: it
has been my impression that lately
it is on the increase. He had his

now without Mr.. Wilson seeing
