Mrs. LOngDOrth Present at Party
For Vice President and Mrs. Gam
Wife of Speaker Greets
and Chats With Alleged
Adversaries at Con-
gressional Club

Discrediting the gossips,
who refuse to believe her
feud with Vice President
Curtis and Mrs. Edward
Everett Gam is entirely i'm
personal, Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth last evening at
tended the reception given
at the Congressional Club
In honor of the Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Gam.
Not only did Mrs. Long
worth grace the occasion
with her presence but she
made a point Of psusing on
her way down the line"
and being particularly ami
able to Mrs. Gam. She
Chatted five or six minutes
with Vice President Curtis
and as many more with his
sister. It was very appar-
ent that the Princess
Alice" does not intend to
let the story stand that she
Is not on speaking terms
with the two.
It might be added, however,
that Mrs. Longworth was not
accompanied by the Speaker,
lending color to the belief Of
her friends that it is Nick"
and not "Alice" who is insisting
upon his right of precedence.
Party Popular
The party was quite the pret-
tiest the club has given this
year. The drawing rooms were
crowded. The Senate was par
ticularly in evidence, the mem
bers of that august body turn
ing out in force to do honor to
their presiding officer. Vice
President Curtis has always
been popular with his colleagues
and never more so than since
he has stepped up from the
ranks into the presidents seat.
He is still Charlie" to the men
who have served so long with
him.
Mrs. Gam seemed particu-
larly pleased at the cordial
greeting she received. Her al
ledged tiff with the ladies of
the club has apparently been
Smoothed over and not hint
of their former differences was
visible. It has been generally
admitted in Washington that
the controversy over her stand
ing as her brothers hostess
. has been rather unfair to the
Aady, placing in a most uncom-
Portable position a genial soul
who never before had sought
prominence for herself
Met BY Mrs. Dale
On their arrival the Vice
President and Mrs. Gam were
met by Mrs. Porter Dale and
other officers of the club.
Mrs. Charles P. George, who
II the guest in Washington of
her father, the Vice President,
accompanied him and Mrs.
Gam to the club. The party
was met by Mrs. Porter Dale
and other Congressional Club
officers and escorted to the
large ballroom where they rec.
ceived the guests. In line were
Mrs. Dale, the Vice President
and Mrs. Gam, Mrs. George,
Mrs. William C. Ramseyer, Mrs.
Clarence F.. Lea, Mrs. s. Wal
lace Dempsey, Mrs. Tom Con
molly, all wives of Representa-
tives and vice presidents of

 For town wear Paris shows short fur jackets made on straight lines or fitted in at the Uaistlipe with saucy peplums reaching just to the top Of the hips. The short jackets are sealskin, dyed moleskin or gar den variety lapin.
 The fur beret is an accepted ad- junct of the fur. coat for next win ter.
 A favorite form is q scmi-fitted cap pulled down ct tie back and cl osSed. from back to side front with two tones of narrow grosgrain ribbon.

This is the play so perfect, so inspiring, so to be cherished that columns and columns have been written expressing q fear of what would happen to if in its transition from the speaking stage 10 the talking celluloid.
 "Journsys End is story of British officers in a dug-out at St. Quentin in March, 1918 The story opens with them coming 10 the front for their turn again at six days Of living only 100 yards from the German front line-siX days Of eating and sleeping in q dark, vile underground cubbyhole.

THRIFTY WOMEN SEE VALUE OF CANNING FRUIT THIS SUMMER
Never Before Has Sugar Been so Low in Price and Fruit
 is Plentiful

A glance at the overfowing fruit markets and then at the low price of sugar proves exclusively that 1880 is the year to put up fruit. Of course the more that is canned the bigger the financial gain, but even a few jars of preserves and glasses of jelly stored away will help cut food bills next winter.
 Pickles and relishes made of cu- cumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and watermelon rind are also economical to put up. Their spicy tart-sweet goodness is most welcome when meats and fish are served.
 Canned fruit has a place in the balanced diet. Most of them are rich in vitamins. For children, canned fruit is an ideal breakfast dish or fitting dessert.
 Beyond a doubt, the housewife who puts up plenty of fruit this summer will find that its consump- tion next winter will help keep her family well and save her money. Good food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute.

 He has few visitors-passing fish ermen, the government lighthouse tender, and an occasional chance yachtsman. Once Willard Robinson the playwright, dropped in on him, and later put him in a play. If you saw "The Sea Widow" you can remember Hardenberg as the char acter Charley Watts"

 Hardenberg thrives on his soli- tude and his unvaried diet. He is muscular and bronzeds and is never ill Once, cut off from communica- tion with the mainland by a long cold spell, he had 10 live for 10 weeks on a sach of flour, jar of preserved figs and a pound of lard. When boatmen finally got to the island. expecting to find him dead from starvation. he was hale and hearty, with a few spoonfuls of flour still left. $
 He plays solitaire almost con- stantly. In his 22 years he has used up more than 500 decks of cards.
 Hour after hour and day after day he plays, the same old game.
