Dinners, Followed
By MusicoIes, Were
Popular Years Ago
By Katharine M. Brooks

April in Washington is
Springtime at its loveliest and
also is the open season" for
tourists and for annual meet
ingS of Women's patriotic organ
izations. All of which gives ex-
element to the atmosphere
and makes the traffic, indoors
and out, hectic.
Fifty years ago the Capital
was smaller in population and
less important in the world.
However, that year one distin-
guished visitor came from what
was "far-off" Japan. 1t was an
unofficial visit but the gentle
man, Count Matsukata, was a
former Prime Minister of the
So-called Flowely Kingdom.
Dinners Predominoted
Otherwise the social scene in
Washington then was one of
much gayety in a rather digni-
fed and stately way. Dinners
were a popular form of enter
tanning. The President and
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt gave
a musicale following one of
their dinner parties. The soloist
was Ignace Jan PaderewSki,
then the great artist of piano
playing. Some years later he be-
came the leading statesman of
his country and was Premier of
Poland.
Another of the large parties
given that month was the eve
ming reception of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roebrt j. Wynne. who. ac-
cording to the society column
of The Evening Star of April
3, 1902, entertained last night
-. at one of the largest and
most brilliant receptions of the
year, when the guests of honor
were the members of the Grid
iron Club, of which organiza-
tion the host is president" The
spring dinner of the Gridiron is
set for May 10 this year and in
these later years the presidents
reception is given the Sunday
afternoon after the Saturday
evening dinner. At these parties
numbers of the SkitS and best
numbers from the dinner are
repeated for both ladies and
gentlemen. Fifty years ago what
went on at the Gridiron dim
nerS was an inviolable secret.
Appointed TO Post
A. Mr.. Wynne a week after his
party for the Gridiron Club was
appointed First Assistant Post
master General, a post he held
until the following year when
he became Postmaster General.
Continuing the story of the
reception April 2, 1902, The
Stars society column said, &c.
the company assembled was one
which reflected in a most in
tereSting manner the public and
social life of the Capital.
The emblem of the club-a
floral Gridiron suspended by
the familiar black and white
ribbons-was a conspicuous Or
nament over the entrance to
the dining room and was again
in evidence at each end of the
supper table but was formed of
white candy over which trailed
sugar roses and foliage. An Or
chestra played throughout the
evening in the conservatory"
The guest list was very long
but many of the names still
are remembered in the present.

are tndt the J0D Will 0e a success
when finished. II was begun last
year when a group of individuals
with interest and know-how started
the ball rolling and it is being
continued this year. Last fall,
popular Willard Taylor was nam
ed athletic director at the combin-
ed parish school for st. Mary and
st. Peter students. Mr.. Taylor, a
former Xaxier in Cincinnati play
er, knew what to do and went to
work with zeal. The first task
was to take up the only inter
scholastic sport that the school
participated in - basketball -
and go to work on il. Central
Catholic had had its ups and downs
in this field of sport but like many
little schools the downs we're more
prevalent. John Roam, once
Holy Family of Columbus great
and later prominent college play
er was named to coach the team.
Johnny. who is also in charge Of
athletics at the Veterans Hospital
in Chillicothe, went about reorgarl-
iZing the team and his first year
was indicative of what might hap
pen. Central didn't beat the world
but the teams that had played
them before recognized that things
we're on the uplift.
Next on the program was The in.
PRODUCTION OF an infFamuraI pro.
gram which adds interest TO every
school plan. With the help of two
fine Priest-feaehers, Father Peter
McEwan and Father Lawrence
o'connor, the boys participate in
touch football, soffbsit, bowling
and volleybsll. The newest devel.
opmenf, Just recently announced
by Mr.. Taylor, is that Central will
participate in baseball and golf on
the interseholasfie level during the
coming school year. II looks very
much rs though Pike County is in
for real development ell the way
around.
The disappearing Fan
The baseball story still goes on
and on - last week the Colum-
bus Dispatch, editorializing on the
plight of the Columbus Red Birds,
hoped that the Cardinals would
put a team in Columbus which
from spring training on would
look like something and which,
then, would certainly be support
ed by the people of Columbus who
don't want to lose their Red Birds.
But not TOO long ago Mr. Az
Banisier, the Flock President,
told . sports writer that Columbus
really never was q world beater at
the gate even when they fieided
teams in the sos with boys that
became famous members os The old
Gas House Gang OF she Cards.
So, what's up on the same
day as the editorial appeared
White Sox manager Paul Richards
tore into major league teams for
taking too long to play the games
thus causing the fans to lose in
terest while at the same time an
other manager maintained that he
didn't think the fans minded for

sibly they have to throw pop bott-

even if the Newark squad doesn't
