Then there are city editors in al
most every large city in the coun-
try-all of these editors. you know.
Of course, are members of the vari-
Gus Junior leagues. Mary Schief4
felin frequently comes to Washing
ton to visit her cousin, Alice B.
Shepard. I heard the other day
that she was trying to persuade
Arthur Yencken of the British En-
bassy staff to write something for
the Bulletin. but he said he thought
he would postpone his contribution
until about time for him to go
back to England. Mrs. Kirk is Mrs.
Frederick L. Chapin's daughter.
The Bulletin Is beautifully Illus
trated-all these magazines are. for
that matter-and includes almost
entirely articles on subjects con-
cernin- the junior leagues and
their work and plans in all of the
big cities.

YOUNGEST PUBLICATION.

Like the other two, 1t Is gotten
out in New York. All OF the
articles in it seem to be written
by members of various younger
sets including one by Ruth Hitch
cock. Senator Gilbert Hitchcock
daughter, in which she tells of the
members of Washington's smart set
who ride horseback. The frontis-
piece of the last number Is photo
zEEz IIifahn4rE in her
riding habit with her police dog.
she has several dogs of several
sizes and descriptions, ranging from
a T.ekinese to the German or Bel
Cian or something of the sort
police dog.
In its foreword is an appeal for
material.
"As regards the material that
has been and is being offered to
us, there has been a great scarcity
of short stories. Is the younger
set not writing fiction, or are they
not sending 1t to us? We are
anxious for good stories; they need
not be timely" they may end un-
happily: they may even deal with
the war, a subject which. we un-
derstand. has been taboo with other
magazines.
The Diary of a Little Girl in
Old New York" has been so favor
ably commented upon that we will
publish further extracts from it at a
later date.
"One of the papers waxed a
trihe sarcastic over the statement
in our last issue that we hoped to
become a medium of expression for
the younger generation, adcing
that at present we were an ad-
junct of society 1t would be
bromidic to call the writer's at
tention to the history of oaks and
acorns, so we content ourselves
with reminding him that the world
is before US. and time on our side;
also that we believe in hitching
our wagon to a star"
COMMENT ON PLAY,
"HE WHO GETS SLAPPED,
The last number-which is the
second published-contains some
fiction, some fashions, notes on
current plays-including a very in
teresting one on Andreyev's He
Who Gets Slapped" which the
Theater Guild is offering in New
York and which Is much discussed
and which l saw and greatly en-
joyed the last time l was in New
York-art notes, some poetry. criti-
cisms of new books, lessons in
wireless. a social calendar of the
large cities, and a cunning pic
ture of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt,
jr., in the costume she wore at
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt's ball re-
Gently.
There is also a stunning photo

pretty Miss Elizabeth Gordon
Hanna, granddaughter of the late
Mark Hanna. and an interesting
set here. She Is quite literary
I've been told, and has recently
written a play, Chinese char
acter play dealing with the Chinese
family life and customs. l think
1 have not seen it but have been
told about tit deals with the
old-fashioned Chinaman who looks
backwards to his ancestors, wor-
shipping them, and the modern
Cinnamon: a conflict between the
young and the old which seems to
be taking place more or less all
over the world.
Elizabeth Hanna is staying with
her aunt. Mrs. Medill Mccormick,
wife " Senator Mccormick. l have
heard that she has, to the vast dis
appointment of many friends, de-
c!ded to sell her fine home in the
hills near Briarcliff and adjacent to
the Sleepy Hollow Country Club
within comfortable motor trip from
New York City. This estate was the
pride of the late Dan Hanna, Eliza
beth's father. and he spared neither
time nor money to bring it to the
perfection he sought. The house is
not extensive. but it is a fine gabled
