Mrs. Coyle is planning to wear
some very lovely cotton gowns
especially designed for her in
this material, in Difference to
the cotton crops Of the Southern
States. Her interest in cotton
found dramatic expression dur
ing the World War, when as a
debutante in Mobile, she, to-
gether with other debutantes,
picked a field of cotton-th1rty
pounds Of it, in a day-and auc-
toned it off for the Red Cross.
It might be interesting to
mention here, that Mrs. Coyle's
mother was the first All-Time
Volunteer Red Cross Worker in
the South, and honorary life
chairman of the Mobile Chapter
Of the American Red Cross. She
was a chaplain general of the
D. A. R., and national president
of the Children Of the American
Revolution. Her father, Rhett

We have had here in the
county this spring a celebrity,
Howard E. Smith, Of Boston, an
artist of great talent. Horse
lovers cannot fail to appreciate
his horse portraits.
The number Of artists who can
paint or draw animals, espe-
cially horses, is limited. Some
of Mr.. Smiths equestrian sub
jects are now being exhibited at
White. Sulphur Springs until
June 5.
He is one of the few who can
place the horses and surround
ing figure groups, which are
after all, quite incidental to the
main interest, zen plein air."
There is a feeling of space and
distance that makes you believe
that the next moment the
Jockey or rider may mount or
gallop off out of sight.
Mr.. Smith has many orders in
Virginia. Among them he will
paint Melita II, winner Of many
races this season. He has also
put in a bid to do Mrs. Jock
Whitney's famous grey hunt
team. He does groups of horses
wonderfully, and his portrait,
In the Paddock" a group Of
four horses, is my favorite.
These horses look so at home,
standing there, with the rolling
hills beyond, and the lovely big
oak tree and little spring house
nearby.
His Ely Time" is a well de-
signed study of horses, too.
Then his polo pictures give the
feeling OF swiftness and action.
Some OF the best of these are:
Polo at Myopia," "A Sharp
Turn" and 60" "A Saddling
Scene in the Paddock" is excel
lent.
Among the pictures he is
showing :. at White Sulphur
Springs, which are some of his
best, are Miss Lydia Fuller on
Runnymede," mfr. Gordon
Pfince on King Neptune" Jack
Grant" 'Myopia Hunt Club"
Schooling" Belmont Park"

LOSES SUIT ON WAGES

Appeals decided today in reversing a
ruling by the Municipal Court.
The decision was made In the case.
of Fireman Warren w. Smith, who
was appointed in 1924 at $1,000 a
year. He received the 500 annual
increases fixed by law until 1891, when
he resigned, In 1882 he was re-
appointed, his salary being fixed at
the original 81 900 figure.
Contending he was entitled to the

Municipal Court and received judg-
ment for $44226 against the District
government. The Court of Appeals,
however. agreed with the contention
Of Assistant Corporation Counsels
Francis H. Stephens and Thomas @.
Walsh that, under the law fixing
