Seeing London gy RAG, a bone and a hank of hair has its masculine gender. Here's proof: A newspaper woman who used to write up weddings paused in her Christmas skirmishings around the shops to get a bit of lunch in a cafe. It was a clean little place with no frills to it, except a couple of palms made of green cotton, and ‘where you pay so | much for an ordi- Tary dindin, and so much extra for turkey and ice cream. And she Was waiting for her order — oyster stew, if for details. noticed at a near table a couple she had married years and years ago— don't let’s say how many. At that time she was a sweet, plain little thing with & bushel of money. He was in the| Greek god class, but poor. She took him abroad for the honeymoon, and after they had set up what a Greek god would call their lares and penates, in a house which was papa’s gift to the bride, the poor but beautiful hus- band fretted over the dull monotony of domestic bliss. So they broke up the home and took a sul® in a hotel. Then something went wrong with the bushel of money and papa crumpled up under it and died. And there the two were dining in that plain little cafe! To be exactly right, he was dining—turkey and ice cream—but her order was for soup and tea. She took a slice of bread from her husband’s portion to piece out her crackers, and when he had shoved his plate aside she sopped the gravy he had left. ‘The years since “Lohengrin” had been brutally unkind to the woman. Time had dug trench lines across her fore- head, and her eyes showed that trouble had seared them on her soul. Her hat was one of those harrowing things that are forever marked down to 98 cents for this occasion only, and the coat collar was relieved with the white of valenciennes that had been pinched to make it look like laundered ruffling— which it didn’t. The sight of the col- lar and the suit put a choke in the throat of the newspaper woman—Te- membering that other going-away gown all satiny cloth and cut steel— and the pinkest of cheeks and exqui- sitely coifed flaxen hair— The man was still as flourishing as the particular green bay that so ac- commodatingly lends itself for com- parative purposes. His Absolomish locks were dramatically “silvered at the temples” to meet the requirements of the most fastidious movie hero, and he had a gold tooth on the side that showed like a collar button on parade. The two were in some discussion in which the man was the pleader, but as he had one of those fiannelly voices that carry only a muffled sound, all you could make of it was a sort of m-m-m—.. But the woman's voice was' sharp with forlorn distinctness: “It isn't that, at all. You know it fsn't. It would be as bad for you as it would be for me, It would leave us ‘both without a cent to depend on.” “But, dear heart, you don't look at it in the right m-m-m—." And whatever it was, the newspaper- woman knew by the hopelessness with which the poor thing passed over the money for the man to pay the cashier that he was going to have his way. And she said to herself—being an old maid with no Greek god of her own to say it to: “I 'bet she’s got to sell the house that papa gave her for a wedding present—I bet!” . And after that she interspersed her oyster stew with thanksgivings that jumbled together about like this: “f am thankful that I have no Greek rd. silvering at the temples, and_that dg met have to write up weddings, MISS MARIE ing part in the entertainments for the (Continued From Eighth Page.) extend the hospitality of its clubhouse at 2017 I street to the commercial art- ists of the city for their first general exhibition. Embodying the work of both staff workers and free-lance artists, this collection presents a show of the graphic arts and design in all mediums— and national as well as local in appli- cation—which it is hoped may hence- forth become an annual event in Wash- ington. During the fortnight the ex- hibition will be open to the public as well as to Arts Club members. To wel- come the exhibiting group the club will give a reception and tea this afternoon from 4:30 to 6 o'clock. Miss Aline E. Solomons will preside at the tea table. The introductions will be made by Felix Mahony, who has directed the hanging of so many of the exhibitions at the Arts Club, including the exhibition of industrial art which has just closed. When serving as the first chairman of the education committee, Mr. Ma- hony personally secured the first scholarships offered by the Arts Club. Much of the credit for mobilizing the commercial illustrators in exhibition any more.” * k % & T was an unpretentious little Junch- room, with everything as clean as sunlight and with bare, polished tables where a half-dozen men and women ate gedately, got up, paid their bills and went away to make room for as many others—all of them so centered on their own affairs, that one rather rakish-looking young woman who had come as a guest of another woman who was older and plainer, felt called upon to make a comparison: “Every time I come in a cafe at home here I can't help thinking of that dear old Latin Quarter. Why, you couldn't go in a single one there with- out seeing people who were really worth while—in art, you know, and znunc and literature, all that sort of hing. Now if this little place were 4n the quarter you would come &Cross all sorts of clever men and women who would come here on account of its simplicity—" “1 like mine well done, but she wants Ber's rare.” interruption came from the plain woman, who, having finshed giv- ing her order, went on in a voice that might have been sympathetic or mildly sarcastic: “It is a pity you had to come home, honey. You and your violin should have remained in Paris. Still, we are not so ordinary in this little place. See that quiet-looking young woman at the corner table? Well, she's making money, hand over fist, designing mono- grams for stationery. Gets orders from big paper houses all over the country. ‘The woman with her hes made good in the newspaper field, and the man across from us—not the old one, he's; an inventor, but the one with his hair| cut like any every day man—well, he makes money at portraits, and the girl with him draws fashion plates for a syndicate. No I'm not making it up as I go along, either. That batch of | youngsters sitting together are report- ers, except the one with freckles, and he's a staff artist who does magazipe covers on the side. Oh, there are a Jot of others, day in and out.” “Well, for goodness sake! Why do they act so—ydu know—prosy? Why, if they were in the quarter, they would be doing all sorts of odd, daring things —singing, you know, and calling to each other, and making snappy speeches against the Government.” “That's all right, honey, if you all like it, but these men and women don't need to label their gifts for fear they won't be known. Each is making a good | living. That's a difference, you know— the difference between ambitious ama- teurs and the tried professional—the difference between expectations and a bank account.” “There certainly is a difference,” snapped the rakish young woman. “Glad you see it. " You will appreci- ste it more when you get paid for your concerts and pupils begin to come in. Also, there is another big difference— the difference -between the Latin Quarter and Washington D. C.” There may have been differences of #! Greenway Inn Opposite Cathedral Mansions Sunday | Special Dinner Christmas o formation goes to Clifford K. Berryman of The Evening Star and Charles A. R.

On December 29 the Arts hold a session of “The Mill,” an experi- ment in co-operative service that is hailed as one of the most promising in- novations in organization work in Wash- ington. “The Mill" represents the first attempt in Washington to bring togeth- er fiction writers in a round table forum of criticism, The direction of “The Mill’ is in the hands of James True, author e other kinds, but the woman at the next table'had no time to listen longer. She had to turn in a book review. ok ® . IF you are not acquainted with golf balls, the finding of the first one you ever saw means an exciting mo- ment, though pictorially it wasn't much to look at—just a weather-beat- en sphere a breath larger than a syca- more ball, pock-mocked all over, and with a side gash, due, doubtless, to the whack of some driver who had landed the thing in a gutter—where down and outs mostly belong. And yet: ‘There is no sign of a hole or bunker in the prairie stretches of the Smith- sonian grounds, and as nothing less than a kick from the boot of the giant of fairyland could drive a ball from the Potomac Golf Course to the Museum'’s edge—lo, the problem ef the missing 1 Had the finder been a party by the name of Cuvier he would have sized up the battered derelict as the orig- inal ball teed off by the Dutchman who invented “kolf,” and on its way to the Museum as a befitting abode—maybe.

For proof, Sherlock could show you that the scar is ram- pant today, though the poor blue laws have to stand by thess days and see churches hold extra services for the convenience of the million golfers of this country who want their Sunday game. Being a mere no-account finder, the woman who picked the ball from the gutter surmised that it had been drop- ped from some automobile. &o she took it to a hig room seven stories high in the air and passed it over to an expert, who knew it on sight as a { cheap make that didn’t wear well. “Cost, about 50 cents!” And that explained everything—ex- cept the missing link.

Her report showed that 40 girls and 38 babies are being cared for at present. The board also discussed participa- tion in plans for the Community Chest campaign.

S Shaw and Brown Music Now Replacing Cocktail Parties. BY JOAN LITTLEFIELD. Correspondent of The Star and the North ‘American Newspaper Alliance. LONDON, December 22.—Music is “smart” again. It has ousted cocktail parties and begins to rival the dance as a means of after-dlnner entertain- ment. No hostess can consider herself really in the running unless she gives at least one musical evening during the “little season.” The hour chosen is usually 9 o'clock, for then, as one hostess naively puts it, “Your dinner should have put you in the right frame of mind to enjoy the music, and if that is disappoint- ing, there is still time to go to a gay supper party afterward to help you forget, it.” One of the most celebrated “musical” hostesses is, of course, Lady Beecham, former wife of Sir Thomas, Whose beau- tiful home in Grosvenor Square is the mecca of all the celebrities in the world of arts and letters. One of her vis- itors this Fall was Robert Steel, Metro- politan Opera singer, who came aver from Heidelberg to be present at Lady Beecham’s Spanish at home. Lady Beecham’'s home is an old Adam_House, The hall is furnished Sir Thomas bought in Bologna years ago. The dining room, with its Peter Lelys and Re‘moldaes, and the bronze- gold library filled with books and beau- tiful old furniture, are on the ground floor. There are two great drawing rooms, divided by a china cabinet with glass on both sides, so one can see through from room to room. A wonderful house for entertaining! The Agile G. B. 8. Bernard Shaw has been staying in his charming London flat in Whitehall Court on the Embankment, and he seems fuller than ever of vitamins and wit. The other day I saw him take a flying leap for a bus. Although it was moving quickly, he boarded it with the agility of an athlete. 0 “you'd better wait for me,” he cried to the conductor. “You may not get the chance of taking me this way again!” He was wearing a bowler hat, a quite unusually conventional headgear for him. But he sported the customary pair of woolen gloves, and, of course, wore no overcoat. Mr. Shaw had a visit this Fall from Gabriel \Wells, the American collector, who purchased some of G. B. 8.s pri- vate letters on the Continent. Arnold Bennett’s First Movie. Elstree, a little town in Hertford- shire which is beginning to be known as the British Hollywood, is amusing to visit. They have been filming Arnold Bennett's first cinema story, “Pleca~ dilly,” with E, A, Dupont, German pro- ducer, directin, film. He is some! of an_autocrat, and his fetish is realism. hing he uses in a film must be as real as pos- sible, even the champagne (which prob- ably explains. why so many well known people are eager to take part in the nl% t club scenes). f his management does not happen to see eye to eye with him—some ‘Washington hirthday celebration was ordered paid the committee in charge. Mrs. Roberta E. Jacobs, chairman of the affair, reported additional re- turns from the card party given in November that swelled the fund to As soon as incorporation is complet- ed a d®ive for members will be made and there will be much rivalry to see which branch of the service enrolls the greatest number. A musical program had been ar- ranged to follow the business meeting, and the artists had arrived when it was noticed that there was no piano in the room. Mrs, Seelye was not to be thwarted by such a trifie and com- mandeered a piano and a crew to install same, and the program went on. Mr. and Mrs, Barber and Miss Brill sang, Then came Santa Claus in the per- son of Mrs. Olive Carpenter, and out of a big bag each mother drew a gift. The next meeting occurs January 15.
