Mrs. Byrns Holds First
Reception as Speakers Wife.

The cordiality and hospitality of
the South was much in evidence yes
terday at the home of Mrs. Joseph w.
Byrns, wife of the Speaker of the
House, when she received for the
first time since the Speaker was
selected by his colleagues to succeed
the late Speaker Henry T. Rainey of
Illinois. Mrs. Byrns, a tall and stately
figure, her smiling face framed in
softly waving white hair, stood at the
foot of the steps of the Chinese room
at the Mayfower to receive. She
wore a gown Of soft black crepe, the
skirt falling in graceful folds to the
floor. The bodice had deep yoke
of gold embroidery with touches of
torquoise blue and deep cuffs almost
to the elbow of similar embroidery.
At the waist line she wore a cluster
of taliSman roses and lilies of the
valley, while behind her were several
bouquets, evidently sent the hostess
by her many admirers.
Receiving with Mrs. Byrns was her
daughter-in-law, Mrs Joseph w.
Byrns, jr, who wore velvet gown
of American beauty red, the bodice
having high neckline and long
fitted sleeves. At the back the bodice
was slashed part way down and
held together at the back of the
neck by a diamond ornament. On
one shoulder Mrs. Byrns wore spray
of gardenias.
The attractively decorated tea table
was laid Just inside the ball room,
which was partitioned of to make a

charming alcove for the tea. In the
center Of the table was large mound
Of pink snapdragons and pussywillows,
with gypsophelia, purple iris and other
Spring flowers, and at each end of the
table were tall silver vases filled with
pink snapdragons and pussywillows.
Tall silver candelabra were at each
side of the center mound and held
tall lighted pink candles. The large
round cake, iced in white, had in
the center the State flag of Tennessee,
with the three white stars representing
the East, West and Central sections
of the State standing out against the
dark blue field, and about the edge the
narrow band of red and white diagonal
stripes.
Mrs Cordell Hull, wife of the Sec
retary of State, for many years Sena-
tor from Tennessee. was among the
early callers, as were Mrs. Henry
Morgenthau, jr., and her guest, Miss
Sydney Thompson, and Nine. de La
boulaye.
Mrs Farley, wife of the Postmaster
General, VINO is making one OF her
rare visits to the Capital, received in
their spacious apartment in the May
flower Hotel. She was wearing a
bright sea green sheer crepe gown
made on long straight lines with a
split skirt. A large diamond brooch
and a cluster Of orchids were her
only ornaments. The drawing room
where Mrs. Farley greeted her guests
was decorated with pink roses ar
ranged against a background of ferns
and palms.
In the dining room the tea table
was decorated with large centerpiece
of Spring flowers, pink roses, euphor-
bia, narcissus and gypsophelia. At
either end of the table was Candida

candles, which softly lighted the room.

Mrs. Roosevelt was hostess at lunch
con today, entertaining Mrs. Garner.
wife of the Vice President, and the
hosteSSes of the cabinet circle.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt have
as their house guests Mr.. and Mrs.
Fulton Oruslar, Miss Mary McGusty,
Miss Caroline Stauton, Mr.. Harrison
Blair and Mr.. Woodford Rhoades Of
New York.
Vice President Garner does not like
late hours, in fact 9 o'clock is his
usual bed time, but 1t was well after
! o'clock last night when he said
good night to his guests at the dinner
he and Mrs. Garner gave in honor of
the President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
While the Vice President and Mrs.
Garner have not entered into the
social whirl in the Capital they have
a host of warm friends. They are
gracious hosts, although infrequent
ones and when they do entertain their
parties are marked with a genuine
cordiality and originality not too often
found in the Nations Capital.
Last night Vice President and Mrs.
Garner received their guests in the
drawing room Of the roof garden of
the Washington Hotel, where they
have a spacious apartment.
Mrs. Garner wore becoming gown
of black satin made on severely plain

liant clips, and bands of the material
lined with white fell from the shoulder
line to the waistline in the back
That Mrs. Garner gave much
thought to the arrangements for the
annual function last night for Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt was quite
evident, from the effective floral
arrangements, the menu and the
lively program Of entertainment fol-
lowing the dinner. A profusion of
deep red roses were used on the long
table at intervals down the center
and Southern smilax and ferns with
sprays of euphorbia were scattered on
the snowy white tablecloth. The
silver candelabra were filled with red
taperS and there were boutonnieres of
red carnations for the men and cor
sage bouquets Of gardenias for the
ladies.
Will Rogers was a guest at the
dinner, which fact in itself tells much
of the happy atmosphere which pre-
vailed. The famous comedian-phi-
losopher was at his best, entertaining
the company for more than three
quarters of an hour after the dinner
Shortly after o'clock Will Rogers
left the dinner to make an appeal by
radio for the talking books for the
blind, which he was asked to do by
Miss Helen Keller. There was much
amusement when the comedian bor-
rowed a watch from one Of the bell
hops of the hotel so he would not
run over his allotted time of five min
utes, and even more when upon his
return he told the company of FUN
bling" and breaking the crystal of
the timepiece.
In addition to Rogers, who incident
ally wore his customary blue serge, the
program included group of songs by
a male quartet who sang without ac-
compartment; Cordina, noted ma
gician, who gave several clever card
tricks which intrigued the President,
and Halle Stiles gave several solos,

Russell VS.. GrumbIeS

The lanky West Side boy had a B.
up lead at the halfway mark, being
IS, one under par, for the first nine
holes. He snagged two brides with
puts of four and IS feet on holes
Nos. 4 and 5, but lost one of the
strokes by being short on No. 9.
Grumbles was three over par at the
turn, being strong on his approach
shots and three putting one green.
Grumbles Gets Hot
On the trip home, it was Grum-
bles who was hot" Russell took
P penalty for being out of bounds
on No. 10 and he lost the twelfth
with a three putted green. He won
the fourteenth when Grumbles
banged into the woods. Bits lead
was cut to one hole when he was
unable to get around a stymie on
the green and the match went all
square when he was over the green
with his approach shot on No. 10.
The seventeenth was halved in
pars. To the eighteenth tee they
walked. followed by a fast-collect-
ing gallery and facing into a heavy
bank of humanity that lined the
back of the green. 1t is one of
those holes that afford sweet OPP
portunity for a deuce or par 3
and lots of chances for five or six.
Grumbles drove first and reached
the short edge of the green. Bill
hit and the shot was on the pin all
the way, barely missing the flag
staff as it passed and bounded 20
feet past the cup.
Grumbles putted first. He was
short four feet. Bill putted. He
tried fol- the cup. Undoubtedly he
had figured it all out. He missed
but the ball went past and stopped
in line with Grumble's putt for the
cup. 1t was a perfect stymie.
MasterfuI Shot Past Stymie
The young fellow from the South
looked and studied. He started to
hit, backed away and sized up his
chances again. TenSeness ruled the
huge gallery. He putted. He had a
slight hook on the putt, it passed
Bills ball and curved to the cup
and fell The match was still even.
A mighty cheer went up as if peo-
pie we're glad to see the young
Iinksmen battle extra holes under
such unfair weather conditions.
Both drove we'll on the nineteenth
hole. Grumbles bit farther. Bill hit

Nordstrom VS.. Tones

The NordStrom- Tones match was
one in which the players were far
off their games as they battled the
heavy rain on the outgoing nine and
each took 44s to be all even at the
turn Nordstrom struck his stride
and Topped in a four-foot putt for
birdie on No. Is and a 35-footer for
a win of the twelfth. He missed
short one and lost No. IA and they
halved the fifteenth in birdie Is.
Tones dropped 35-foot putt for his

The fact that Mayor Kern con-
ferred at length yesterday with A.

lieve that Mr. Mayer was to be ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy caused
by Mr. Marott's resignation. No in
dication was given. however. that
the post had been rendered to Mr..
Mayer and Mayor Kern said ne had

Stray Links Shots

MORE than half the contestants
1V1 have departed already. A
glance at the lot where the players
park their automobiles tells that
story. AS soon as many of
them determined they had failed to
qualify in the select 81 Tuesday
night they took leave of the city.
Too disappointed to remain
and watch the others in match play.
OF course, there are many
teams still here, since one or two
members qualified and remain in
match play.
Then there were many who re-
manned for the driving and pitching
contests staged late yesterday and
postponed for completion until to-
day because darkness interrupted.
But the tournament now be-
comes strictly spectators affair.
The first two days of the week
found the contestants and their cad
dies forming the major portions of
the crowd.
HARRY ScHooP, city links
l. l. supervisor, is planning to close
Coffin course Sunday, depending
upon whether the tournament ex-
tends over for the playoff of the
team championship between Louis
vile and San Antonio. Harry
feels that the green's should be
soaked, the tents and concession
stands removed and other cleaning
up work done before regular GUS
toners are accepted.
TOOD old Hoosier hospitality,
" always trying to please the
visitors and make comfortable their
stay in indianapolis, that is the slo-
gan of the many men who are COM
mittee members assisting in the golf
championship at Coffin course.
For example, listen to this.
Mrs. Charles Kimmell of Chicago,
who is assisting Ger husband at the
scoreboard near the first tee of the
course, caught the heel of her shoe
in a grating and wrenched it loose
. That was long after the last
player had left the course; dark
ness had settled and Charlie had
written all the names on the cards
and made ready to start todays
work. =. Like wise, all business had
ceased for the day throughout the
city.
Kenny Hoy, one of the commit
tee members, loaded the Kimmells
in his car, rushed them over to the
residence of a shoemaker who does
lot of calking work for the Coffin
players, and interrupted shoe
makers bath and retiring program.
=. He dressed, opened his shop and
fixed the shoe. How's that for
Hoosier hospitality?
