-" Not kind are the fates, either,
In this business Of allowing Saturday
to sneak in so soon for day after
tomorrow Helen Hamilton closes her
Club Troika for the Summer, move
which will be blow to many men,
Der of the social and diplomatic set
=. not to mention whole raft of
Senators and Representatives, who will
miss their favorite rendezvous for hold
ing night sessions of Congress :. Yep,
Senator Herring. Representative Ryan,
Representative Collins and q whole
host Of others who come often to look
upon that Cossack show, will have to
find another spot to relax and
pretty Jerry Embrey will miss the
Troika this Summer and so will
lot of other people, including at least
five citizens who have upbraided Mrs.
Hamilton in no uncertain terms for
yielding thus to Washington's heat n
humidity go.
49, OF course, a lot Of the Nations
lawmakers have found already another
manner and place for relaxing >.
and when you see one after another Of
the gentlemen from the hill bounding
into the Wardman Park Of a Saturday
night, you'd never in the world guess
where they are going :. Not toward
the pleasant Metronome room are
their footsteps guided cat least not
all Of them, but rather toward a
certain suite upstairs -. Where every
Saturday night a new congressional
club meets for goings-on, the like Of
which you'd never conceive :. Such
goings-on as checkers, dominoes, rock,
monopoly and other games OF that ilk
80. BY which the Senator's and Rep
resentatives in this new club forget
the woes of budgets, crime, labor and
daylight saving time e.
80 And if you ever happened to
think in an off moment that Ida
Clarke, out at the Shoreham, didn't
have raft Of melodies in her pretty
little head you would have changed
your mind on the spot . Had you
been at the next table when Capt
Ear and that party from the Argentine
Embassy dined in the Shoreham ball
room And each guest asked Ida
for different song . Not one Of
them stumping her with such things
as "Estrelhta,' "Adios Muchachos,"
LA Camparcita" and such Italian
ditties as "Cielito Luido" -.
That blaze Of glory and
6pringtime out at the Wardman
Park the other day really was Theon,
the maitre d. (. . AL decked out in
q new light brown sport suit, natty
fedora, sport shoes and one Of his
own home grown gardenias >. Plenty
Of competition for New York's Lucius
Beebe 80.
80 Some poor midshpman from
Annapolis, dancing away part of his
leave at the Madr1llon the other
night Cor maybe it was five months
ago the other night, was a pretty
frustrated citizen for a couple Of sad
moments Lieut.. Latane Lewis, I'd,
Of the Army Air Corps Reserve Gin
civv1es) strolled in the door to be
greeted with the Army song where
upon the middle Gin uniformly became
the guy at whom everybody looked and
smiled, thinking he was being given
what Is known as the rib and
he wasn't real happy about 1t until
explanations were made and into
the open came reasons for the Army
chant. =.
