Spring Weather Turns Society’s Attention to Activities Out of Doors White House Will Be Represented at Hunters' Trials at Brac]ley Farms Next Saturday. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. A few days of good Spring weather end Washington society is encouraged to go on with its outdoor program, plan- ning for future events and slipping over some affairs like the hunters’ trials at Bradley farms next Saturday, Virginia horse shows, with the Middleburg Hunt Club close to the front. The Fort Myer show still is bringing tingles to the nerves 85 daring events in the society horse show given there last week are being re- viewed. The morning hours hung heavy and gray yesterday making every one happy that the Virginia show was an dndoor event, but by the time the drive across the Potomac was made the clouds lifted and a fair afternoon sent thou- | sands scurrying to Virginia's big sport- ing feature at Fort Myer. The White House was well represented s it will again be at Bradley farms for the hunters’ trials, which event is ar- tanged for the Thrift Shop, a pet charity of the city. Mrs. Roosevelt cuts a natty | figure astride her favorite mount, dash- ing along through Rock Creek Park, wearing an up-to-date riding costume, breeches, well fitting riding coat, derby hat and perfectly fitted leather riding boots. Quite a contrast to the other First Lady Roosevelt, who infrequently rode with President Theodore Roosevelt, wearing a long sweeping skirt, graceful but dangerous, and such as graced the Zashion books of 50 years ago.
