A rambled essay mocks mob spirit and poor umpiring at a Washington park game. It critiques Umpire Frank Foreman, blasts crude politics, lampoons strawboard pollution and fish deaths, and quips on race and law. It closes by noting a British parliamentary quip about rowdy crowds.
The regular season begins next Monday at the Park with a matinee presenting four new English dramatizations led by Wien te bell ales. The Park has updated facilities and a new stage with fresh scenery while summer crowds are tempered by warm weather and an efficient ventilation system. Travers Vale’s romantic drama features monks and a focus on Saint Bernard’s monastery, with ample attention to detail and strong stagecraft. Beginning Thursday matinee, Two Little Waifs, Linrelin J. Carter's melodrama, returns for a half week engagement, following last season’s success, centering on two sisters whose mistaken identities cause constant misunderstandings. The production boasts notable troupe quality and modern revives.
A column discusses feminine distinction as natural grace rather than display, stressing effortless manners, posture, and restraint.

Russell Harding, praised as a top railroad official under George Gould, argues stock movement is not an official duty.
