FANS DISAPPOINTED

Though some Showmen in the
past have felt that the predomi
nance of Whitney horses among
blue ribbon winners in the circuit
has been discouraging to competi'
tors with smaller strings of en-
tries, spectators were genuinely
disappointed that the purple-and
lavender colors were as far behind
their usual perfect performance as
they were this year in the Wash
ington show.
Washingtonians have become
familiar with a new equine name
and a new type of show ring per
Torrance, which drew more gal
lery applause than any other va
riety of event at Meadowbrook
The horse is Worthy Forbes
speedy high-action trotter. and the
event is known as a roadster di
vision. Worthy Forbes, owned by
R. C. Flanery. Of Kansas, Illinois
State where harness shows and
harness racing are no novelty, took
three roadster events and placed
second for roadSterS under saddle
He won the $500 stake and the
roadster championship Of the
show.
Star of Them All, owned by S
M. Ross, another MiddleweSterner
presented a picture of elegance
speed and consistency, winning the
$3.50 championship five-gaitec
saddle horse stake and the rib
bon for five-gaited champion Of
the show. Smoothest performance
by rider in this class was made
by Miss Mary B. Llewellyn, Of
Rockville, Md, who sat her dainty
Kings Bourbon with the ease anc
sickness of mucilage.

Chief RecreatiOns

Horseback riding, tennis, ping
pong and golf, in that order,
appear to be the chief recrea-
tions of the city's saleswomen.
Mrs. Maxwell Taylor, of Raj
eigh HaberdaShery, operates at
the sporting toggery counter.
She has long black lashes, blue
eyes and is dark, petite and
pretty. She adores horseback
riding and every Sunday after
noon finds her on the bride
path. Her husband prefers
tennis but likes to go with her
on the moonlight rides and oyS-
ter roasts staged by the riding
academy out at Silver Spring.
In winter Mrs. Taylor and her
husband ask the neighbors in
for ping pong parties on their
back porch at their home on
Eighteenth Street.
Another HaberdaSherette,
Miss Baer Of the suit depart
ment, is most fond of skiing.
She used to ski quite a bit
before she came to this country
from Latvia, but hasn't the
time nor the snow at hand here
to practice her Christians and
TelemarkS.
Another Pins-Pong Addict
At Emily'S most of the
younger women prefer horse
back riding. though Miss Evry.
who is tall and just the right
build for it, would rather play
tennis. In the winter she also
plays ping-pong. She feels that
ping-pong helps her summer
tennis. 1t keeps the eye keen
and the wrist supple.
OF the two methods of hold
ing a ping-pong racket, she uses
the tennis grip as opposed to
the less spectacular, but some
times deadly accurate, hair
brush" or scoop grasp.
The cloak and suffers at Jel-
letf'S are nearly all "older
women" according to Miss
Hammond, a rosy-cheeked men,
Der of the group with a hand
some head of grazing hair. Miss
Hammond says that when the
weekend comes around, I'VE all
just rest" But there is a
movement afoot at Jelleff's
among the younger women from
out of town to form a group for
horseback riding or swimming.
Time Limited
It would seem that the sales
women are not as imaginative
as they might be in their choice
Of recreation, but then they
have so little time off to enjoy
the variety of sports that Wash
ington has to offer.
For those who have passed
the active sports age, there is
fishing on the Potomac and
archery on the Mall.
The District bowling league
would welcome additional teams
of youngsters representing some
OF the department stores. Per
sonnet directors would do well
to investigate the possibility OF
organizing store teams for their
0aleSWomen.

ness as a happy, healthy EN-

called debut.
In the old days it was really wide
eyed little innocent who stood in the
receiving line, trembling slightly with
excitement and trepidation, wearing
her symbolically simple and girlish
white gown, and holding dainty bou-'
quet. Now, the young sophisticate has
taken her place. She greets the guests
with poise that would once have been
brazen, and appears in a gown of
design the most mature Of women well
might envy.
At one time, being presented was
the sign that young lady had I'm

ready to look around for suitable

into an entirely different world, and
"her season" was just that-devoted
exclusively to the social whirl. Now
the debut is often . brief moment in

periods of intense study or between
