But, even 50, everyone seems ex'
cited and happy. .Milady with
new hat and gown and high hopes
can display them after church to-
morrow. there's something so
grand about Easter. The season
Of Lent is over. and 1t Is surpriS.
ing how many people do lead quiet
and meditative lives in those 40
days.
That Is now over, however, and
now comes perhaps the gayest and
incest time Of the whole year. =.
the "little season" with grand
spring weather, which turns into
glorious summer. and a spirit Of
informality, with BLACK ties
taking the place Of white. and,
in q little while. cool mess jackets
and light summer things that add
to the Joy Of this time Of year.
We dropped into the Mayflower
Lounge yesterday. and the ex-
hibit there Is worth seeing. {.
truly rural" If you can twist your
tongue around that one. with
chix and teeney ducks and the
adults getting as much Of q kick
out Of 1t as the youngsters.
BY the way, we think Col.
Ralph Polio, who manages the
MayflOwer, deserves q great deal
Of credit. 1T was Good Friday
when we went in. and In place
Of the usual hot music. there
was Sidney's orchestra giving -
concert. we sat down and
heard that wondrOuS Good
Friday" music from "Parzlval."
., And then some classical mu-
sic. and we think that this Is
one of the finest innovations. ;.
and 80 did scores Of others who
sat there listening.
I'VE also dropped into the
lounge the other afternoon for .
bit Of . rest. and wondered
Just what all the gathering was
over In the corner. three heads
close together. So we took an
other look and decided they were
Senator Walter F. George. Sena-
tor Joe Guffey and Senator +.
Ryan Duffy-and it must have
been very heavy and deep what
ever they were talking about.
Wish we might have had micro
phone planted under the table.
Said hello to Earl Christian

other table, but not alone

charming Mrs. Senator Long
from Louisiana.
Col. and Mrs. HOratiO b.
Hackett were lOunging that
afternoon, and 50 were Mr..
and Mrs. Walter O'Hara, down
from their Rhode Island home
for Easter week. and scores
Of other persons.
And while we are ON the
subject Of Easter at the May
flower, the George Washing

Presidential Room with the
orchestra tomorrow.
Speaking of things collegiate
there was a grand session in the
Hi-Hat at the Ambassador the
other night. .centering about
the greatest kicker in the world,
although he didn't find anything
to kick about so far as we could
determine.
We mean, Of course, the man
who single-handed-we should say
probably single-footed-beat Yale,
Meaning none other than good
old Charlie Brickley. Of Harvard
and if you remember back 1t
was his educated toe that kicked
five field goals in one game to
humble Old Eli.
Well, it seems that Charlie was
sitting there, and at an adjoining
table was none other than Sylvan
King, who is a leading merchant
and brother Of Phil King, who
upon a time played a nightly
good game of football for dear
old Princeton.
Mutual friends brought the two
together, whereupon the con-
v"rsaticn turned quite naturally
to football with memories
flooding up, and it was a very en-
joyable evening.
There was another footballer
seated close by, but he seemed
much more interested in a
charming young lady whose name
we did not learn. He was Don
Jackson, who was so good down
at the University Of North Caro-
lima that they named him all
American.
Kitty, the charming little sing
ing cigarette girl. is displaying
more interest in bottles than in
smokes these days-but in bottles
of liniment only. Kitty, it seems,
likes to ride horSeback-but the
other afternoon she had a particu-
larly skittish mount. and you
can guess the rest. Right, and it
still hurts, admits Kitty. But
even so she still likes to ride, she
says.
Saw Jean Boardman, the law
yer, sitting over there and asked
him If he was going to sue the
horse for Kitty. But he said no.
He was just deep in discussion
with Les COlVin.
