the Chicago season to look

THE opera was probably the
most significant event Of that
hectic Monday evening. crowded
with social events OF major in-
portance. which set society folk
to cruising back and forth from
the President Theater-or the
Congressional Club, where re-
ception to the Speaker OF the
House and Mrs. Gillett was in
progress-to the Willard and the
Southern Relief Ball or the Pan
American Union, where the Sec
rotary Of State and Mrs. Hughes
were being entertained by the
delegates from the five Central
American republics to the confer
ence now being held here.
For receptions, however bril-
liant, are of frequent occurrence
and of benefit balls there is no
end, whereas the Washington
Opera Company productions are
few and far between. Moreover,
they come to US each time as a
bit of revelation in spite of the
Washington Opera Company's rep
utation for achieving the impos-
sible in the way of putting on
opera OF first-class caiiber with
little money and enthusiastic but
limited backing.

experiences.
Robert Skinner, our consul
general at London, had his plans
a bit upset by the flu. He had
planned to sail with the British
debt commission on the goth,
but is confined to his bed at the
Shoreham instead. Mrs. Skin
ner is at their home in Massil-
Ion, Ohio, but plans to join Mr..
Skinner here before he actually

fore he went into the consular

Is George Horton, consul general
in charge at Smyrna. He has
been here for some time and
doesn't know yet when he will de-
part. smyrna was burned in Sep
TENDER and he left there in Octo-
ser, going by rail to Paris an2
then on to Washington. His
wife, who is Greek, Sacopoulo
BY name, has remained behind in
Athens, her native town.
Horton, who was born in New
York State, did newspaper work
In Chicago before he entered the
consular service some thirty years
ago. He has been in the Near
East about all of those thirty
years and is undoubtedly the best
authority in this country on Near
Eastern conditions. He is a de-
nghtful man, a real American
with a great and most interesting
career behind him, no part OF
which was more noteworthy or
more interesting than that con-
nected with the burning of
Smyrna by the Turks in Septem-
Der.
Mr.. Horton during these thirty
years passed in the Near East,
has returned to this country a
number of times but at long in
tervals, and having been away he
notices changes which we who
remain here don't notice, because
they come so gradually. For in
stance he went away and there
were no automobiles; he returns
and finds automobiles running all
over the place.
The thing which seems to in
terest him especially right now
one of the things-is the change
in women. He finds that they
have invaded every field Of en-
deavor at one time sacred to his
sex and wonders whether the
women will really make the world
better or not. He asked me

do most to improve the world.
One was the wife of a Con-
gresham whose days were made

what she would do if she thought
her husband were wrong about
some matter of voting; would
she vote against him. She an
swered promptly that her hus-
band Is never wrong. (At that
point Mr.. Horton added that

TT looks now as though the Child
Welfare Ball might surpass the
record for attendance achieved by
the Southern Relief-if they did
draw more people than the Chill

they did-for it is whispered that
they have now well past the
