whatever. The next day, Gen
eral March called the Comman-
dant and told him he wished to
see the soldier in charge of the
newsstand and suggested that
he be promoted. The Comman-
dant told the General that he
had already attended to that.
You see, what both General
March and the Commandant
knew was the sad fact that this
intellectual magazine had hung
behind the newsstand for prac-
tically three months, with none
, of the soldiers showing the
slightest interest in it.

MAJ. GEN. CLAUDE v. BIRK
W1 HEAD, of Texas, is in town
very briefly, but long enough to
appoint Harry Crookes lieu
tenant colonel on the staff of
the Governor of Texas. How
ever, the General, who is a life
long friend of Harry's, has ar
ranged things so that Harry can
not get too military, at least
with him, for Lieutenant Colonel
CrookeS Is under the direct COM
mand of General Birkhead.
General Birkhead is a delightful
person, tall and slim, with twink
ling eyes, an attractive speaking
voice and a manner that leaves
one thinking what a pity we
didn't know him years before"

Frederick Coleman, is in town
for a longer stay than he antici-
pated, especially with the kind
of weather Washington is hav-
ing, but business must be at

MRS. JETER HORTON, lovely
W1 wife of Colonel Horton,
USING, is always beautifully
turned out and the other day.
very cleverly so. It seemed that
Mrs. Horton had to go to a gala
tea, to a wedding and a recep
ton, so she arrived at the tea
with the most exquisite pale rose
lace dress, topped by a heavy
ribbed white crepe jacket. The
tricky part was the fact that the
jacket could be removed later.

NOMDR. AND MRS. ARTHUR
" ROBINSON are one Of those
fortunate couples who don't care
whether Washington Is hot or
cold. Their charming house in
Georgetown, which boasts a
brick terrace open to any small
breeze, has never yet been hot.
And their garden, with its white
furniture and blooming flowers,
is actually cold at night. Mrs.
Robinson, who desired bit
more terrace than her house
possessed, tried valiantly to get
someone to come over and add
to it. She had no luck, so, be-
lieve it or not-and you would
believe it If you knew Mrs. Rob
inson-she turned hard worker
for a day and proceeded to lay
the most perfect portion Of a
brick terrace one has ever seen.
OoL. AND MRS. JOSEPH
" FEGAN gave one Of the
incest parties Of the summer
last Monday in their quarters at
the Marine Barracks. Guests
came for the parade and then
stayed for the buffet supper.
Mrs. Fegan, who has that rare
gift of being the perfect hostess,
was exactly that. Her house was
filled with fresh bright flowers,
the inviting table was done in
white and silver, with everything
delicious that one could think
about.
The piece de resistance, to
most of us, was a fruit salad.
Not just the ordinary fruit
salad, but one in which every
available fruit was used. Then
a huge melon was followed out,
the fruit salad poured into it,
decorative sprigs of mint put
around it, and suddenly there
was a symphony of brilliant
color.
