COLLEGE WOMEN DRAW
BIG CROWD TO GARDENS
Play Ridicules Women Who Want
the Ballot- and Is Fol
lowed by Dance
The college women netted a goodly
sum for their clubhouse fund yester
day afternoon when they presented a
play in the grounds which surround
the home of Mr. unC Mrs. John W.
Mitchell in Vermont avenue. Throngs
of men and women 'tilled the seats
which were ranged about the tennis
courts and from the sunken gardens
and lily ponds to the wall which sur
rounds the place every shady nook and
available seat furnished its group of
attractively gowned women and ap
preciative men.
Even the gray stone walls of the
garden wore a festive air with the
overhanging blossoming rose vines
and the soft, greens of the pines and
the iron gates swung back to reveal
a soft lavender bordered pathway
with moss and gravel blending in har
monious toifes.
GROUNDS AT BEST
A short walk along this path which
was heavily bordered with cedars,
brought the visitors lacing the gar
dens and here the lily pond with its
stone seats and statuary called forth
many exclamations of admiration.
Even those visitors who are frequent
guests at this lovely home wore forced
to say that Dame Nature had con
trived to bring every tree, shrub and
flower to its best for this occasion.
The charming hostess, herself ac
tively engaged In those mysterious
realms behind the scenes, had able as
sistants and James Taylor-Kelly as
"the box office man" and Count' Axel
Waehtmetster as "the man at the
door" played their parts with quite as
much skill and histrionic ability as
though they, too. had learned their
parts and been drilled for the occasion.
James Pringlo, Douglass Fox and
Ross Snyder were ushers and found
seats for every woman guest and with
gravely persuasive manner assured
each one that her place was the best
for seeing the actors and keeping in
the shade at the same time.
THE ri-.vv
The play itself after all is the thing,
and this satire upon the modern wo
man's desire to exercise her rights was
so cleverly phrased, so keen in its
points and so amusing in Its general
trend that even the most avowed
"votes for women" woman must find
entertainment there.
The players wore Grecian costumes
and bandeaus in their hair, and with
the setting sun furnishing a glowing
spotlight the play was a great suc
cess.
Members of the club who particlpat-
Ed in the play were Elsie Ara Wag
goner, Mabel Walsh, Ethel Williams,
Evangeline Gray, Sarah McLean, Lucy
Howell, Mrs. Blmey Donnell, Jessie
Moore, Bertha Oliver, Ella Rider,
Edith Furrey, Lucy Robinson, Adele
Myers, Lloy Gulpin, Maria Lopez,
Marie Crowe, Lueile Locke, Ruth Blod
get, Roby Elwood, Alice Cooper, Louise
Sweetman, Louise Mourot, Hazel Bey-1
cry, Sybil Jones.
OBJSKK DANCE
A Greek dance in which graceful
young women wove through the mazes
of the dance carrying long ropes of
smllax and ferns followed tho play.
The dancers were directed by Miss
Sarah McLean and included these
young women: Catherine Lennox,

Bessie Brewster, Dorinda Havlland,
Helen Tupper, Anna Megiligan, Rae
Davis, Anna Addlson, Prances Zerr,
