Languages, literature, music and
dolls, subjects divided, yet closely
related through cultural and his
torial ties, have long been absorb
ing hobbies of Miss Anita Schade
Of 1929 Rhode Island avenue NV,
who is active in musical and literary
groups here.
For many years a participant in
the Friday Morning Music Club,
the Goethe Society of America, the
Friends of Music, the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association and the
Daughters Of the Confederacy, Miss
Schade is the founder-president Of
the German Literary Society Of
Washington, which has included in
its membership scholars and offi-
Gals from many parts of the world.
Miss Schade is a native daughter
of Washington, where her father,
Louis Schade, German by birth. but
American by adoption, settled soon
after the Civil War. Mr.. Schade,
a Southern sympathizer during the
War Between the States, gained
considerable publicity at that time
by his legal defense of Capt. Wirz
of Andersonville fame, who was
executed for crimes whose guilt he
denied until the end. Miss Schade
recalls that this case of Capt. Wirz
was one of the most distressing
memories in her fathers life. The
Wirz case was sad one," she said"
and November 10, the day the un-
fortunate victim of circumstances
was hanged, ever remained a day
of bitter "reminiscences for my dear
father"
Work Hail to the U. ID. c."
Although born in Washington,
Miss Schade spent many years Of
her youth in Virginia and it is but
natural that she should be a loyal
member of the Daughters of the
Confederacy. AS former president
of the A. F. C.. Williams Chapter
she composed an anthem. dedicated
to the organization, Hail to the
U. D. c." which has frequently been
played at Washington functions by
the Marine Band. A student OF
musical history and the lives of
| famous composers, she lays no claim
to distinction as an artist although
she plays the piano "by ear" But
few musical movements arise with
out her whole le-hearted support and
one of her greatest pleasures during
the summer is a visit to the Berk-
shire Musical Festivals in New Eng
land.
Miss Schade, who is linguist
has taught German, French and
English in several local private
schools and has instructed many
persons in the diplomatic and off,
cial circles Of Washington. She tells
many delightful anecdotes in con-
nection with lessons given to sons
of her foreign pupils. One Am
bassador, who spoke cultured
English, but was not familiar
with American idioms, unconscious
ly commented amusingly on his i'm
pressions of Capital conversation in
his first American" lesson with
Miss Schade. What is pigeon
holed'?" he asked naively.
Many Prized Books.
Among Miss Schade's priced pos
sessions is collection of auto
graphed books by famous English
American and German writer's and
composers.
