EMMET GUARDS AT A SMOKER, Function Given in Honor of St. Patrick's Day. ‘The annual celebration of St. Patrick’s day by the Emmet Guards was held Saturday evening in the form of a emoker at Typo- graphical Temple, which was prettily dec- orated in colors of the emierald isle. Many members of the guard, with their comrades and friends, assembled in honor of the day, and entertaining stories were told. Capt. O'Neill, the newly elected com- mander, spoke briefly on the company’s present and past records and of its future, both as a military and social organtzation. Lieuts. Harlow and MeNally also spoke of the company, and Comrade Howell, a vet- eran of both the civil and Spanish-American wars, told of his experiences in both con- John Ryan, Fred Blake, Sergeant Galla- gher and Bert Nolan also made a few re- marks, the latter's subject being based upon the raising of a fund to purchase a head- stone to place at the grave of the late Lieut. Harden in Arlington, where but & small slab désignates his resting place. rs. Supplee, Nolan, Boucher and oth- ers sang. Mr. Nolan also entertained the audience with some jokes, as did also George Byrne and Mr. Supplee. About 11 o'clock the doors of an ad- joining room were opened, exposing to view some beautiful decorations, consisting of potted plants and flowers. Refreshments were served here, and after toasting to the welfare of the company and expressing sympathy for the Boers the company and its guests dispersed. ————— The Co tt Road as a “Speedway.” ‘To the Editor of The Evening Start ‘The remarks quoted in Wednesday's issue of your paper, made by @ “horse owner,” in reference to the Chain Bridge road being an excellent thoroughfare for horses and bicycles, by reason of its levelness, open up the question of a suitable “speedway” in the District. The chief objections to this road are its short length and proximity to the and Ohio canal. For sev- eral years there have been recommen- if dations made in the official yeports by the army engineers, U. 8. ,A.,. in. of the Washington aqueduct fo have the Conduit road widened to its full road, allowance of 100 feet, and make this beautiful thorough- fare more worthy of its popularity as “the boulevard” of the city. Its grade through- out 1s comparatively level, having but three short and sharp stages of ascent between Georgetown and Cabin John bridge. ‘To a visitor the lack of improvement along this route is a marvel, as it does, such scenic attractiveness. en it is explained to him that the United States, and not the District government, has its management, he realizes how slowly moves the machinery of the gods. As a matter of fact, a visit to any city in the country will reveal by comparison how deficient we are in suburban parking and public improve- ment, for there is ge iy a “reservoir park” to every city as an attraction. Here the beautiful reservoirs are hidden by high, unsightly fences, with no ‘public-accommo- dations such as benches or walks. ‘The government has 300 acres at the up- per reservoir, which are being gradually underbrushed, and doubtless in the. course of time @. park. will materialize, Such. @ spot would prove @ boon to the thousands of wheelmen who pedal on the Conduit Toad, and particularly so to the lady riders who do not feel equal to the wheel as far as the bridge. It also has the advantage of being reached by a single fare on the elec- tric railway from all parts of the city, and should be to the city a river park as beau- tiful and attractive as is the Zoological Park. The distance between the two reser- voirs is about two miles, with a level road- way, and runs through the Palisades reai- dential section. It is probably only a question of time when the recommendations of the engineers will be substantiated by an appropriation from Congress. This would then be practi- cally a continuation of Pennsylvania eve- ae lores now Doseeesos @ national repu- ion for and urban thoroughfere, ee ee ‘With the present stimulus to suburban improvement, by reason of extenston and betterment in raflway facilities and street extensions, it would seem but reasonable to expect government development of its prop- erties, and an agitation to that end would be quite in line with public requirements. . BDWEN 0, CLARK, THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Poor and Rich Meet at the Little Sisters’ Home. Saturday Din! md Other Festivi- ties—Interesting Perso! Notes. Today at noon at the Home for the Aged. under the care of the Little Sisters of the Poor, a scene grown ‘familiar to many friends of the institution and full of amaz- ing interest to those present for the firs! time was in progress. The several hu dred inmates enjoyed their St. Joseph's dsy dinner under most pleasing auspices, with many of the leading lights in the diplomatic and resident world as their humble helpers and attendants. The French ambassador, Mr. Cambon, Captain and Mrs. Vignal, Mr. Jules Boeufve, chan- cellor of the embassy, were ali present, the gentlemen being in charge of the wait- ers and waitresses assigned to each re- fectory. The Misses Riggs, Mrs. James F. Barbour, the Misses Patten and dozens of other ladies were assiduous in the good work. Pathetic as such a contrast must always be of those blessed with this world’s goods and those who owe their daily sus- tenance to the Little Sisters and the good fricnds of the institution, it had also its humorous side. After dinner there was singing and dancing, and a fine time gen- erally. At the last both inmates and their guests met together in the chapel for bene- diction. Mrs. Ernest W. Roberts will be at home Tuesday afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock. Miss Katherine Eldred will receive with Mrs. Roberts.

Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Vincent Benet are traveling in Germany, and will also go to St. Petersburg befort settling down at their home in Paris. Mr. and Mrs. H. LL.

The French ambassador will entertain at dinner tomorrow night _in honor of the British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote.

The guests thus honored were Assistant Secretary Taylor and Mrs. Taylor, the Misses Hitchcock, daughters of the Secre- tary of the Interior stant Secretary Vanderlip, Mr. and Mrs. William Ayres Lamson and Mr. Howard Nyman. An im- promptu musical program followed, when Mrs. Lamson played several sclections and Mr. Lamson and Mr. Nyman sang. The Patricia Club gave its second reunion at the residence of Miss Evelyn Sims, 4ti 6th street southeast, Saturday evening. Mrs. Kate Phillips and Miss Lilllan Burke rendered some excellent music and little Edna Phillips recitations.

Among those present were Mrs. Burke, Mrs. Burton, Mrs. McKie and Mrs. Phillips, the Misses Speicer, Burke, Hage, Harradon, Haar, Ayers, Elisworth, Hyatt, Carrigan, Sims, Malay, Pollock, Mayer and Cox. Mrs. M. F. EBiseman will not be at home Tuesday. “The El Capitan” Club gave a box party to the young ladies of their club last Thurs- day evening, which was greatly enjoyed.
