Zents Gill, the landscape painter, you know. He had wound up his’ summer art clasg ¢firly, and had =amo down from his, place in Con- necticut to go abroad for a few ozen of his wtudents had trailed along to work up this going away affair as a slight token of how well he stood with them. Judging from the way they went to it he must be more or less popular, too. . Anyway. that's thd idea the com- ittee left with me when they came around early in the afternoon to make 1he arrangements. “He's just an old dear, Daddy Gill is." explained one of the girls to me. “and we want to ®ive him a good time.” So I rustled up Some dinner favors, and bags of confettl. and a few gas balloons, and decorated one of the big tables. Of course, Daddy Gill turns out to be a gentle-mannered old bach with a traw-colored Vandyke and mild eyes. ad the boys and girls were mostly from small towns who ke their paint daubing or any- ng else very seriously. el, when they got on the fancy l:{vr caps and started to pepper each ather with confetti, and began tying up Paddy Gil's whigkers with pink ..rihbons, and broke loose with occa- onal bursts of song, .they might fiove laoied more ‘or Tess Tiotous. to an outsider. The four young chaps frem the electric offices tried to join in from the rext tablé and weren't altogether discouraged. Then there were the usual commuter delegations, LINE OF AUNT LUE THE SUNDAY “STAR, WASHINGTON, THE RAMBLER WRITES OF THE CARROLL ' INSTITUTE THEATRICALS OF YEARS! AGO A By Seweil Ford ANY names of actors, amateur and regular, have been re- called in these sketches, but the end of the list is not yet. It would need the service of a more industrious annalist than the Rambler to set down the names of all those ‘Washington boys and girls who have entertained us and who have drawn applause and laughs from our grand- parents and from our fathers and mothers and their children. The Ram- bler would like to do this, and “the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak,” etc. The Rambler does not want to omit the name of any fellow townsman who has thought that he would out-Booth Booth and make Sir Henry Irving look like a tallow dip beside the sun. Nor would he will- ingly, wittingly or wilfully pass un- noted the name of any of our sister townswomen who felt the dramatic urge 50 keenly that they meant to make Rachel, Ristori, Rejane and Rhea look like the Cherry Sisters. But we will do the best we can to give them all honorable mention. Several weeks straight running the Rambler has reviewed many of the “professionals” who were populay, perhaps beloved, by us in those golden, merry days, when we could go to tae theater, sit up all night and show up at the office next morning with a shin- ing face. Then there followed such accounts as the Rambler could give of the Lawrence Barrett Dramatic Known—Many Members “Made Good” as Professionals—A List of Those Who Appeared and . Their Plays—Origin of Club Is Not[ on Stage—The Knowledge of Shakespeare.

MERICANS have made war to such an extent upon the national bird —the American eagle—that few speci- mens of the species are left in the east, and when one of these birds does show itself the first impulse of the man or boy who sees it is to shoot to kill. Yet the eagle is a hlrml('!‘ bird and does ill to nobody. Now & then a bald-head eagle flies over the National Capital and a few are to be seen in the region of Washington. but they have become rare. Last spring a large and handsome member of the species was shot and killed in the woods bordering Neabsco creek. about thirty miles below Washington and close to the junction of that creek and \ the Potomac river. Eagles still seem to be fairly numerous in Alaska, whither Lhey have been driven by the unfriendli- ness of their felow Americans in the older settled sections of the country ing.
