Mrs. George Sloane has the
most delightful way of en-
tertaining during the War
renton Horse Show. Usually
her parties are so methodical-
ly thought out and planned,
but this time-knowing how
one runs into not-seen-for-
ever-so-long friends at the
Warrenton show, she has
given the servants orders for
so much of this and so much
of that. So tomorrow, with
her mind free from place
cards, seating and what-not,
she will sally forth to the
gathering ground - then
lucky are those who chance
to cross her path and receive
a bid to enjoy her hospitality.
She won't be just wander
ing about, far from that, for

It is regrettable that the three

adjoining the front, or the west

States Supreme Court building,
were not accompanied by the first
Chief Justice, John Jay, who
served from 1889 to 1898: Chief

What's the Matter
With the Fights?
To the Editor Of The Times:

To the Editor Of The Times:
Washington has had legal box.
ing now for about q year and 1t
hasn't had q decent fight in all
that time. No wonder We won't
pay our money to get in to the
fights. The promoters think they
can put a couple of buns in the
ring and that we'll pay to see
them waltz.
Washington fightdom needs one
good bang to set it off on the right
trail. A really good fight would
lure thousands and thousands to
Griffith Stadium or to any other
place that was chosen. But the
type Of fighters we have been get
ting will drive more and more OF
us away.
The promoters, or whoever Is re
sponsible, should wake up. II they
did, they would realize what a gold
mine Washington is. There are
lots of fight fans here who have
never been to a local bout. And
nobody can blame them. The
fights have been punk and many
are still spending their money to
journey to New York when they
want to see q decent scrap.
