Such a tennis devotee is Sir
Ronald Lindsay, the British Am
bassador, who, with Lady Lind
say, attended the Davis Cup
matches at Chevy Chase Club
yesterday, that he fingered after
the tourney to play few sets
himself, as did Major George
Thenault, of the French EN-
basSy.

Gallery Thrilled
Members of the gallery while
witnessing the thrilling doubles
match with Bell and Mangin
up" against Lott and Doeg
had little difficulty in keep
ing" their minds on their work,
when an enormous explosion
echoed across from Bradley
Lane. This sent the Junior
leaguerS," who were perched
up on the stands like so many
rail birds, taking time out from
the, selling of soft drinks ETC.,
Scurrying out to see what was
the matter. But the answer
was just another flat tire.
Countess Szechenyi, tucked
away under a huge parasol,
was with Sir Ronald and Lady
Lindsay in their box. The Span.
ish Ambassador, Mr.. Padilla,
occupied the adjoining box with
his two daughters.

Jacket Suits
For General
Utility
By Wilma La Vile

In this suit season, when any
thing with a jacket is smarter
than it has been for many years,
we find many types accepted.
Among them when the weather
gets really hot will be the
"dreSsmaker" suit of linen.
No matter how many other
suits you have, tailored, in
formal, silk or otherwise, you
will find many uses for the cas-
ual, informal suit of linen that
is so very cool and comfortable.
It's smart for country wear, and
for wear in town if the occasion
is not formal. Undoubtedly a
great many women will wear
linen suits of this type to bust
ness in Washington, for, after
all, they have a jacket, and for
that reason are as correct Tor
street as a frock, either with or
without sleeves. Then they're
fresh and crisp to slip on for
very informal evenings at home,
with or without the jacket.
These suits are all diStin-
guiShed by "dreSSmaker" de-
tails, tucking or a frill here and
there, a jabot, intricate cutting,
or other trimming that is simply
done. They are of a medium
weight linen, usually trimmed
with white if they are in color,
and, of course, following the
feminine lines of the season,
fitted over the hips, with normal
waistline. Skirts are more often
pleated than gored, which
makes them look a little newer.
The blouseS with these suits
are attractive in themselves
and offer a chance for variety
when you wear them with
other skirts or suits. And, of
course, you can wear other
linen or batiste blouses with
these linen suits. One We are
Sketching has the new square
neckline, others have equally
good details. The other suit in
the illustration has O sleeveless
jacket, smart and unusual as
we'll as cool.
Of course, these suits. which
we sketched from a Washing
ton shop, are IN many and
lovely colorS: brown, blue.
green, yellow, rose, and so on.
The blouses are mostly white
for contrast.

NJ 'Kee WEEDS
Minneapolis
Girl in Paris

Vying with local affairs for
the interest Of Capital society,
the marriage of Elliott Bates
Mckee. son of Mrs. Frederick
H. Brooke. of Washington, to
Miss Katherine Stevens Pills
bury, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Stinson Pillsbury. of
Minneapolis. took place at noon
today in Paris.
Wearing the same dress in
which her sister was married
to Oswald Lord last December,
Miss PillSbury was married
at the American Pro-Cathedral
Of the Holy Trinity, with the
Very Rev. F.. w. Beekman,
dean of the cathedral, per-
forming the ceremony.
A wedding breakfast followed
in the Plaza-Athenee at 1890,
with Mr.. and Mrs. PillSbury as
hosts.
Bridal Party
Mrs. Oswald Lord was matron
of honor and another sister,
Miss Helen Winston PillSbury,
was maid of honor. Mr.. Lord
was best man.
The ushers included Allen
Murray and Cornelius Agnew,
jr., of New York; John Utter,
of Washington; John Quarles.
of Idaho; Robert Buell.. of
Rochester, N. Y, who is secre-
tary of the American Embassy
at London; Robert Fisk, of
Boston; James Greenway, of
New Haven. Conn, and Edwin
Lord, of Wynnewood.
Home Next Month
Mr.. and Mrs. Brooke arrived
in Paris last week for the wed.
ding, and the brides brother,
Philip Pillsbury, and Robert
Colgate, of New York, arrived
several days ago. The Brookes
are returning to Washington
early next month.
Mr.. Mckee was graduated
from Yale in 1925 and attended
Christ's College, Cambridge, for
two years. He and his bride
will make their home in Paris,
where Mr.. Mckee is employed
by the National City Banks
Champs Elysees branch.

has also the surplice line in the
blouse that's so kind to the Older
figure.
The second is the dress with
the matching Jacket.
There are many kinds of Jack
cts being worn with dresses.
We think the straight line car
digan very good for the older
figure. But so are bolero jacket
effects.
Longer BOleros
Not the very short. saucy ones
that the subdeb prefers. But
the longer, waistline length bo-
leroS, or the boleros that dip
down below the waistline in the
back.
The jacket dress we've had
Sketched is in one Of the fash
ionable pin dot prints. 1t might
also be a small conventionalized
flower designer a plain ma
terial.
Wrap-Around Dress
A third dress . one that
many elderly women are wear.
ing is the wrap-around
type with the surplice closing
in the blouse. We like this sort
of cape effect. too. Because it
does pleasant things to the
figure.
The coat with the jabot or
revers is a splendid fashion for
the older woman. She can wear
the cape coat, too-when the
cape is one OF the longer ones.
And she can wear her coat
belted, if her figure allows it.
Or if mott is usually held
closed with a button.
Can the older woman wear
1880 suits? Many of them. ES-
pecially the softer, dresSmaker
types-the ones with cardigan
jackets or jabots.
With all these fashions to
choose from and many
others just as lovely, just as
smart-we think the elderly
woman will have an easier
time assembling a becoming
wardrobe than she's ever had
before!

JUDGES boost
BOND SCALE

A new scale of bonds for cases
involving several major crimes
has been drafted by Judges Of
the Police Court and will shortly
be distributed to the police pre-
cincts.
In announcing the new scale,
which will increase the amount
OF bond required in many cases,
Presiding Judge Gus A. Schuldt
declared that the judges have for
some time. felt that cases inVolv-
ing major offenses should be
more severely dealt with than
minor violations. This is done,
OF course, in court, but it has
Tor some time been felt that the
public should also be protected
before trial.
Bonds announced are:
Driving while drunk, $500 to
$1,000: assault, $500 to $1,000:
bad checks, $500 to $1,000; big
amy, $1,000 minimum; grand
larceny, $1,000 to $4,000; house
breaking. $1,000 to $4,000; rob
berry, $1,000 to $4,000; rape, $1,000
to $4,000; receiving stolen prop
erty, $500 to $1,500.
1t was pointed out the the
amount of the bond will depend
on the individual case. In some
cases the minimum bond will be
required, while in others the
maximum will be taken.
Almost simultaneously with the
announcement of the new scale
OF bonds, it was learned that pro-
fessional bondsmen of the city
are seeking an increase of per
cent on the premium of bonds.
Milton Kronheim, professional
bondsman, admitted that such a
move has been on foot for some
time, but declined to say whether
or not the increased bonds set
out in the new schedule would
result in abandonment Of the
campaign for increased premiums.

VOTE ON VETERANS
MEASURE BLOCKED
Plans for Adjournment by
Middle of Next Week
Believed Upset.

Efforts to get agreements for final
votes on the veterans relief bill and
the rivers and harbors measure failed
in the Senate today, clouding the pros
poets for an early adjournment of this
session.
Senator Reed. Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, killed proposal by Senator
McNary of Oregon, the assistant Re-
publican leader, for a vote today on
the veterans bill. Reed said he favored
many provisions, but was so opposed
to others that he wanted more time
than would be presented by today'S
debate to discuss the legislation.
This left the rivers and harbors
measure before the Senate and Chair
man johnson, of the commerce COM
mittee, moved to bring it to an early
vote. The controversy over the amount
of water to be allowed from the Great
Lakes for the Illinois waterways route
remains to be settled before this bill
can come to a showdown.
While overwhelming support Is evil
dent for the veterans relief measure,
Reed said he believed two days of de-
bate necessary. His stand was believed
to have disrupted plans for an ad-
journment by the middle of next week.
The end of the week was regarded as
the earliest possible date for ending the
protracted meeting Of Congress.
