Hostesses Still in Capital
Give Radio Parties to
Hear Chicago Speeches
Work for Red Gross and Other
Organizations Occupies Days
Both Here and at Resorts
The few hostesses who have remained in town through these days of
conventions and conferences elsewhere, gather small groups for dinner
and radio parties, listening to the floods of oratory being delivered in
Chicago. It is a pleasant way to pass these cool, yet summery evenings
in the National Capital Through the days these same ladies spend their
hours in Red Cross work or in directing and arranging benefit parties to
help those in distress across the seas.

By the Way—
— Beth fRnrnrr
HOT SPRINGS, Va., July 17.—Life here goes on at a leisurely and de
lightful pace: Tennia and swimming in the morning—there is an excel
lent fresh water pool at the hotel, or for those in search of the more
picturesque and unusual the famous old Warm Springs pool where Gen.
and Mrs. Robert E. lee are said to have bathed frequently. After
luncheon two golf courses, the Homestead and the Cascades, offer much
in the way of beautiful scenery as well as being considered two of the
finest in the country. It was at the Cascades that the now famous Sam
Snead (a native of Hot Springs), was at one time golf professional and
as a small boy he caddied at both the Homestead and and the Cascades.
One of the golf enthusiasts staying at the hotel tells a very
amusing story. It seems that he has been coming here every year
and has always had the same cheery and efficient young colored
caddy. When he arrived this summer he expected to be met at the
train, as he always had, by his faithful caddy, Charlie, since he had
wired the hotel to let Charlie know of his arrival—but instead he
found a perfectly strange caddy waiting to greet him and take his
golf bags. “Where is Charlie” inquired the golfer, “isn’t he going to
caddy for me any more?” “Well, sir,” hesitated the caddy, “I’s a
friend of his—and he ain’t gwan to be able to caddy for you this
summer I’s ’fraid, so I’s gwan take his place.” The golfer, much
disappointed, found this explanation very inadequate—and after
much insistence that he be given the REAL reason why Charlie
should NOT caddy for him was finally told, "Well you see, suh—we
boys had a little poker game the other night—fust Charlie lost ALL
his money, then he lost ALL his clothes—and finally he had nothin'
else left, so he put you up—and he lost you too!—so that’s the reason
I gotta caddy for you this summer!”
But to go on with the various activities of Hot Springs—in the
afternoon there also is riding (plenty of good horses available and many
Sople bring their own)—over the wonderful bridle paths through
e mountains. No matter what sort of exercise you take, every one
gathers at tea time on the lawns before the Casino and relaxes after
the day’s activities. Here cocktail parties immediately precede dinner—
not in the afternoon—which seems a wonderful innovation, since it
means that you don’t have to rush home to change, but have your
tea in your golf or sports clothes and then around 7 go home dress
for dinner and have cocktails beforehand.
There are movies and dancing at the hotel every night except
Sunday, when there always is an exciting "bingo” game. Last Sun
day a large group gathered about an enormous table in the shape of
an H—bought some "bingo” cards and played until midnight. Mrs.
Lammot Belin, in a becoming green and white printed frock with a
matching bolero, won one of the first pools, and Mrs. Ballard Moore
in chartreuse, which was lovely with her titian hair, was an inter
ested player sitting beside Mrs. McClure Clark of St. Louis
and Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Jainon, who have a cottage here for the
summer. Mrs. Ralph Miller, wearing a black lace dress, was being
told by several people w'hat a wonderful swimmer her small grand
daughter is, and almost the entire Ingalls clan—who are as much a
part of Hot Springs as the springs themselves—joined in the game.
Mr. and Mrs. Dave Ingalls have been here a week or 10 days—he
looks exceedingly well and blooming, considering that he has just been
one of Taft s mo6t ardent Ohio campaigners, and along with Charles p.
Taft of Cincinnati one of the most tireless workers. Mr. Ingalls has
his own plane, is an expert pilot, and always commutes from here to
his Cleveland home for the short vacations he can snatch from work.
