HICAGO people are already filling up their lists of 
house guests for the convention week in June. Mr. 
and Mrs. George Higginson, Jr., of Astor street, will-en- 
tertain relatives from Boston, and Eliot Wadsworth, who 
was with the Rockefeller. unit in Serbia. Mr. and Mrs. 
R. H. McCormick will have with them Mr. and Mrs. 
Monroe Douglas Robinson (Dorothy Jordan) and Mr. 
and Mrs. Philip Lydig of New York. The Higginsons 
will leave for their summer home in Lenox immediately 
after the convention, their two young daughters going cn 
before. Meanwhile the suffragists are working “to beat 
the band” to make their parade and convention ball a 
success. Mrs. Medill McCormick, Mrs. Kellogg Fair- 
bank and Miss Suzette Ryerson are the spellbinders from 
fashionable society who are making several speeches a 
day to arouse enthusiasm. The garden of the Harold 
McCormick house on Lake Shore drive will be the setting 
for the ball and garden party. Mrs. Arthur Meeker, chair- 
man of the reception committee, is getting up a most im- 
posing list of out-of-town guests who will grace the ball 
with the splendor of their names. Mrs. George Higgin- 
son has charge of the invitation committee. Patronesses 
for the ball include Mrs. R. ‘T. Crane, Jr.. Mrs. Hobart 
C. Chatfield-Taylor, Mrs. Charles B. Pike, and a long 
list of others socially prominent. Volunteers for the 
parade are beginning to emerge from all walks of life and 
are being heralded from distant states. 
Life is not so short but there is always time enough 
for courtesy.—Emerson. 
ASHINGTON’S horse show marked the gathering of 
many people who are prominent on the North Shore. 
Mrs. Wm. Hitt drove Bountiful, a Judge Moore entry, 
and carried off the blue ribbon. She displayed exception- 
ally fine horsewomanship and although pressed hard by 
her competitor, never once lost her composure during the 
many times that she was sent around the ring in a final 
effort to show that Bountiful was blue ribbon material. 
She was dressed in a very smart gown of black georgette 
crepe with white trimmings. Mrs. Wm. F. Draper and 
4. and Mrs. Henry May were boxholders. Mrs. 
Draper was in black and white and Miss Draper wore a 
blue and gray flowered summer dress. Mr. and Mrs. 
Joseph Leiter had with them Miss Julia Meyer, Mrs. Wm. 
F. Coombs and Thomas Spring-Rice. Miss Meyer wore 
a modish striped foulard in shades of brown with a white 
lace fichue and a small hat with a high crown in the dars- 
er brown with wings of light brown. Mrs. Hunt Slater 
and Mrs. Larz Anderson were in box parties. Mrs. Leiter 
was seen one day of the show dressed in a stunning white 
tailored suit of serge with a large pink hat. Mrs. Henry 
Cleveland Perkins was seen in a becoming black and

Parasols made an attractive color scheme at the 
Washington horse show. The last day was ideal and the 
warm spring sunshine brought out the many new and 
stylish models of the season. Parasols are occupying aii 
important place in the wardrobe of the girl of 1916, and 
one sees many unusual ones bearing little semblance, save 
in shape, to the practical sun shade of days past. Made 
of chiffon, tulle, or silk, some are wide and flat like a 
Japanese umbrella, while others, shaped like a dome, are 
reminiscent of the days of Antony and Cleopatra. They 
are elaborately trimmed with ruffles of lace, startling 
designs embroidered in silk or beads, and often orna- 
mented with bands of velvet or ostrich. 
A mutual understanding is ever the firmest chain,
