SOCIETY IN
WASHINGTON
BY FLORA G. ORR


WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Nick
Longworth is back in town. Like
wise General Pershing, who is home
from the American Legion conven-
ton in Paris, and says he was
charmed by the spirit in which
France received the boys.
Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall, widow
of the former Vice President, who
has been here for some time visit
ing her old friend, Mrs. Thomas F.
Walsh, is planning to go back home
soon. Her visit to Mrs. Walsh has
been reminiscent, she says, OF her
days in official Washington life,
when never a Sunday passed, that
she, accompanied by the then Vice
President, did not eat the Sunday
evening meal with Mrs. Walsh.
$50
Dancing classes are quite the
thing in Washington society, but
they are not always classes, strictly
speaking.
First OF all there is Mrs. Hender-
sons Monday afternoon class, which
usually meets at Henderson castle,
or Boundary castle, as the Hender-
sons call it. Membership in this
class awaits the invitation of Mrs.
Henderson. There is no age limit,
either way, but she makes her own
selections, much in the same way
she issues invitations to her friends
to come at will during the summer
months to use the swimming pool
and the tennis courts.
Young diplomats circle the floor
with dowagers at these Monday
afternoon functions, there are a few
debutantes and many young mar
ried couples.
Then there is Friday afternoon
dancing class, and still another one
which usually picks Friday for its
date, but has evening dances. This
last dancing club is planning its
three winter functions at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Letter. 1t
forms its membership more from the
resident society than what is known
here as official" however The Sec
rotary of War and Mrs. Dwight
Davis are members, and Miss Alice
Davis, debutante this fall. is to be
taken into the fold. If one can pass
the membership requirements, 1t
then costs $40 per person to belong.
Bringing a guest costs $40.
A new sort of Dutch treat enter
tainment. with ones company
selected in way which would be
impossible at a night club.

SAFETY IN CHECKS

One of the subjects most prolific in the way of texts for
comment is that of the safety provided by banks to persons to
engage in financial transactions of any kind. Many more per-
sons should adopt the plan of making payments of all kinds by
checks instead of in currency.
Every few days the newspapers publish accounts of thefts
which have been committed in cases of persons who withdrew
sums of money from the banks, or use money they have kept in
their homes for payments on property or other transactions.
A bank check eliminates all possibility of loss of money in
making payments. Bankers are particular to- know that persons
presenting checks for payment are entitled to the money, and
even if the check is stolen it is highly improbable that it can be
negotiated by the thief. Banks require Identification before
making payment on checks, and the writer of the check can
Immediately stop payment on it if it is stolen.
Persons who keep money in considerable amounts in the
home do so at their own risk. Would-be thieves have means of
securing information which may not be suspected by the person
who keeps money in his home, or they may even take a chance
of finding currency hidden about the house. The resulting loss
is the same.
There is no reason why any individual should draw currency
from the bank when a check will complete a financial transaction
neither is there any excuse for a person who receives money
undertaking to be his own banker
, 1927-02-02
THOUGHTS

Ancient tradition says that on February 2, the grounding
or %woodchuck, comes out of his hole, and decides whether or
not to remain out by the weather conditions of that day.
The Sophisticated American passes by such a superstition
with a smile. Perhaps there are some city bred folks who
never heard. of it. Yet those of US here in Cody who were
brought up in country homes, find these ancient sayings very
interesting.
In pioneer times people were close observers of animals
and of the weather and changing seasons. They did not have
many books. Nature was their book. 1t gave them a certain
serene contentment, and was a subject Of perennial interest.
The instincts of animals must have interested them greatly.
They observed that certain species have a power for foreteIing
weather conditions and discerning other matters hidden to hui
mans. No doubt the grounding tradition came into existence
as a result of attempts to interpret the perceptive powers posses
ed by animals.
Those simple old habits of our ancestors would seem ter
Tibly dull to us now. But the men and women who watched
the woodchucks and other dumb beasts, found infinite pleasure
in observing their froics and struggles and labors, and thereby
became better able in many ways to use their eyes and wits
than we are.
