Or perhaps you did not know about
the invitation to the Mexicans Well.

be held in Potomac Park and possibly
at Fort Myer, giving the city its first
real taste of high goal play.
AS you recall, the American Army
sent a delegation of mallet wielders to
Mexico not so long ago. with great
success. 1t seems only proper now
that the defeated should have a
chance to redeem themselves, at the
same time supplying new impetus to
the already broad interest in the gal
loping game here.
Doubtless the home team would be
made up in part of imported officers.
as only one or two now stationed in
this vicinity are ranked at the top in
the Army. This would by no means
detract from the pleasure of Wash
ington spectators who have developed
their favorites among local players, for
no crowd is quicker than a polo audi

sympathies naturally lean toward the

not hold a time when they did not

their dogs ever been a matter of

dogs as carefully as If their lives as

Most of their dogs have been bought

prefer q male dog that is between 8

Barefeet may be barred from courts
in Reno, New, but stockingless, sandal
ed feet walked right into the White
House front door, and swiftly through
its lobby to warm welcome in the
Roosevelt family quarters.
Miss Slade expected only five min
utes with Mrs. Roosevelt. She was
held more than half an hour by the
First Lady's interested questions.
Then out she went again into the
busy city, to the clicking Of cameras
on the White House steps.
Certainly America beats every one
else for press people" she laughed.
Cant you tell me of place where
one may get a simple vegetarian
lunch?" she appealed, as she neared
the White House gate.
And so, about a block away, she
got her first introduction to an Amer
ican cafeteria, where she hand-picked
her spinach, grapefruit, lettuce and
tomato salad and carrots and ate
them with hot water, favored with
cream, talking American impressions
all the while.
hHid1iuS, really! was neT COfH-
ment on the cafeteria. Such a good
idea, I think, to be able to see your
vegetables, instead of trying to fnd
them on the menu card"
Miss Slade doesn't like the heat of
American dwellings or the cold of
American ice water, but she does
thoroughly enjoy the American peo-
pie.
Il do not like the headlong rush
that the machine age has brought
about. The wonderful thing Is that
people here are so delightful in the
midst of such mechanical life," she
said.
Her brown eyes burned with the in
tensity of her convictions as she
briefly reviewed the war fear that she
feels is lowering over Europe; and the
kidnapping tales in American headlines
both, she feels, due to the imper-
sonal cruelty of mechanization.
