Even a Presidential Stag Party.
However, Mr.. Roosevelt has
asked Mrs. O'Day to the recep'
ton for the new Representa-
tives on March 13.
Mrs. O'Day has accepted the
invitation. She plans to go to
the White House. Shake hands
with the President. Look about
pleasantly for a few minutes.
And then go far away.
The Spring Drive is on. The
Long Spring Drive!
See daily papers:

p, in informal conversation, is
petrified at the thought Of pub
lie speaking.
She gets completely tongue
tied, she says, the instant she
faces an audience. And can't
think of one word to say.
Between the former Asso-
ciate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, Oliver
Wendell Holmes, and his wife,
who was Fanny Dixwell, Of
Cambridge, Mass, existed a
deep affection. Mrs. Holmes
had a spontaneous wit. Her
husband depended on her
humor and sympathy.
Every week since her death
in 1929 until he became i'll,
Mr.. Holmes had visited his
wife's grave.
To have Mrs. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes as dinner COM
panion was a gorgeous piece
of luck at a formal Washing
ton party.
Mr.. Swagar Sherley remem-
bers the delightful time when,
as a. new Representative from
Kentucky at his first public
dinner, he found himself seated
beside Mrs. Holmes. Mrs.
Holmes with the first course
said:
SIN order that you may be
rec0mpenSed for having drawn
such an aged dinner partner,
must be so interesting that
you will forget my years."
Mr.. Sherley says he never en-
joyed dinner as much as that.
Donald Richberg, in his quiet
hammered way, said recently
that, although the Blue Eagle
sometimes had nested among
the crags and brought forth fine
eaglets, often it had nested in
low places and brought forth
just snipe.
Mrs. Grimsley Anderson has
been telling us about the Naval
Relief Show that the Naval
Academy people are producing
Saturday night in Annapolis.
We coaxed Mrs. Anderson into
writing this light-hearted &C.
count Of a naval rehearsal:
'Beer, cigarettes, and pleasant
conversation are certainly aids
in watching the rehearsal Of an
o m a teur performance. The
other night at Annapolis the cast
of the Navy Relief Show
frOlicked from Chinatown to San
Francisco drawing rooms while
assorted husbands and wives and
Q few chosen critics drank beer,
knitted, and gave more advice
than mental SOlace.
The principal leads, Ann Wal
lace and John McKillip, sang
COnvincingly of broken hearts,
china dolls, and young love.

talk, Captain McCandIess' very
gOOd-lOOking offspring of some
18 summers was giving Bill Pye

"When the play is put on for
