Every one at the National Horse
Ssow up at the Squadron A Armory
seemed suddenly to discover yesterday
shst the tearoom was the coziest place

ssorded the very best view of the

gjss Beth Evans. In her train were a
l,ren of the prettiest debs in the city,
III wearing Martha Washington eos
tsnss of grey and white. The table,
cloths are pale blue and white, the
solsrs of Squadron A, and the whole
effect is most delightful, especially
as you get the idea that you are
sitting under huge blue and white
striped tent, with the azure ozone blow
ing in at either end. OF course, this
has nothing to do with nature. 1t Is
simply clever effect gained by the
decorator, who held the mirror up to
nature.
To the little bungalow, which repre-
sented Mount Vernon at the east end
Of the ring, has been. added two new
buildings. They are the dairy and the
schooihouse, presumably. The lunch
cons and teas, which Miss Evans serves
In her dainty tearoom, are donated by
the different big hotels, so that every
thing in the way of currency may go
TO the A. 1, G. p, and underneath the
tearoom is toy shop, which holds
everything from trains of cars to hrer
rabbits. There are various articles,
which are moro or less useful, too,

for three-score years and have then
been painted to represent cats and owls
and horses and giraffes. There is
nothing crude about these things
sither, though old hands have an an
noying way of trembling, sadly, some
times even at the accustomed tasks Of
ftty years. The things which these old
men carve out and decorate, themselves,
are whimsical, beautiful and artistic,
and those who stop buy them are not
inspired alone by philanthropic spirit
The things are worth having.
Enthusiastic Over Show
We spoke to Edwin Cook, who Is
seventy-eight, and to Richard Heffer-
nan, who is mere infant of seventy
one, and they are both terribly en-
!husiastic over being at the Horse
Show They not only sell the horses
and dogs and rabbits, but they can get
about a bit and mingle with society.
We looked for the old man named Mr.
ssan,whon we met last year, but Mr..
Hsssrssn said he amt feeling so good
ssis week and couldn't get. out to the
show The place is called "The Old
Mems Toy Shop" and these old men
AZ snployed by the society to make
asays. OF course if no one should

sages So, whatever you do, do not
mss the toy shop. Some one has dedi-
atsd poem to the shop The last
ysne reads:
gust where would they be, how might
they have Jared
Had nobody bothered, had nobody
cared?
The Islandl' Speak softly; they hear it
with dread
TO them it's the line twixt the living
and dead"
And then there was tho luncheon
which Mr. Reginald Vanderbilt gave in
the tearoom TO half hundred mem
bers Of the organization. Before the
luncheon the annual meeting of the
society was held and all of the old
oihcers were reelected, of course. The
outcome of the election was as certain
as was the recent one for Governor of
New York
