A garden party which is as much a

any other event is that in the Cathe-

this year taking place May Is, from
to 7 o'clock.
Probably one of the most interest
ing outdoor events of the season will

uled for Friday, May Is. Mrs. John
R. Williams, chairman of the Thrift
Shop Committee, announced plans
yesterday for this gala event. Que
street, between Connecticut avenue

off from O'Clock in the afternoon

known attraction for young and old

Shop-the Children's Country Home,
the Children's Hospital, the Child

According to Mrs. Williams, there
will be Master of the Street" who
will police the block during the carni-

to make the affair a financial sue

Close on the trail of brilliant week
Just closed with seven days filled with
delightful events. including embassy
and legation affairs, garden parties,
dinners and luncheons and a horse
show that even gray skies could not
vanquish, looms a week even more
alluring in its well laid plans. White
House garden parties, of which the
first will be given tomorrow. White

much interest and much sprightlier

the couriers. The Secretary of State,
Mr.. Hull, will be host at luncheon
Friday for the visitors and the Under
secretary of State. Mr.. Phillips. will
entertain for them at dinner Friday
evening.
Many mistresses of the White House
have gracefully filled their official role
without going much out of their way
in originality. but Mrs. Roosevelt has
set a pace that will be difficult to
follow. Almost every thing she does
bears its stamp of originality, and at
each of the official events of the sea-
son just closed there was something
given the guests to remember. At the
diplomatic dinner a charming girl of
20, Miss Nancy Archibald of New
York, student of honor and graduate
of Spence School, was given the task
of furnishing the place cards, each
bearing some charming sketch to re-
mind the distinguished guests of their
own country.

young artist to make sketches on most
of the cards, having travelled in the
various countries, and for Denmark

SURPRISE.

IT WAS nearing lunch time. The
junior with the walrus mustache
chewed on a twirled end reflec-

at his pocket where the bulge of a
tobacco can showed.
The very saneness of her explana-
tion seemed to reach the jury and
Lampere realized it. He waited a
moment, then said thoughtfully -
And of course man with millions

On the Rice roof, where she went
with her party for lunch, Judith
saw Mathile and Mrs. Bevins with
Lampere. Again she was struck with
the new beauty of the girl. She had
DOTTED her grieving manner and was
talking with animation.
Judith was not recalled to the
stand after the luncheon hour. In
stead, Mathile, again dropping with
grief, took her place, was sworn, and
eyes lowered, handkerchief gripped
in apparently tense fingers, awaited

Judith stared at Mathile Bevins in
horror. How dare she intimate a
thing like that of Big Tom Bevins
OF her own part she thought noth-
ing.
How dare she talk like that of
him?" she asked Mrs Cunard pite-
ously. HE rarely ever took a drink

ment, Thomas Scoggins, senior, was
introduced and told the true story
of the oil well venture. Several dam
workers appeared and said that, aside
from outside interference, there had
been no mutiny among the men and
that Mrs. Dale had not attempted to
boss" them. but had said from the
first she was merely acting as Big
Tom Bevins' secretary, carrying out
his instructions.
Max Larson also testified, and one
of the women. who told Of Judith's
attempts to make life comfortable for
the workers families.
Judith was amazed, overwhelmed,
as one after the other took the stand.
Their appearance came as complete
surprise and her manner proved it.
A brace" of engineers testified to
the saneness Of the dams position and
construction.
| You don't wish to cross s-examine? 2"

crushed as Lampere would have you
look. This is the beginning of your
day."
Judith wondered If it were when
she reached the courtroom. She
was glad OF the frock; somehow it
gave her the assurance of still be-
ing clean, fragant and fresh, not
the soiled person of whom Lampere
had talked.
Judge Morgan opened his case by
putting a trio of medical men on the
stand, three psychiatrists who testi-
fled that Tom Bevins had come to
them on the day he drew up his
new will, and asked for a thorough
test.
Why did he do this?" Morgan
asked the first man.
He said he felt there would be
an attempt made to break his will.
on the grounds of his being of un-
sound mind, and wished to prevent

"A senile psychosis," whispered
Lampere in a stage whisper.

"he was ready with written proof
to show us that his enemies were
already at work From the proof.
Mr. Lampere," continued the doctor,
''he was wise in his precaution. I
Judge you wish to 60 no further
into this proof"
"Of course" interposed Judge Nor
gan, IF Mr. Lampere wants to cross
examine my witness before I have
finished"
Il beg your pardon" came in surly
tones.
The other two went unchallenged,
nor did Lampere accept the privi-
lege of cross-examination.
This completed. to Judith's amaze
