ERSONAL NOTES po P The wedcirgs this week gave it a degree of interest which has been lacking for scme time. Whether or not this program is to continue is a matter of conjecture, hut the probabilittes are that the usual record will be maintained. Every day increases the number of returning travel- ers, and after today it will begin to make an appreciable effect in the West End. While there are a great many heuses there yet whose owners will not look upon them for another month or six weeks a bit of friendly life is manifest in many direc- tors. The wheel is about the only de- pendency in a visiting way. Those wao own chaises and fine horses are leaving the latter to enjoy another month of pasture, and doing their own locomotion by wheel. Those who happen to have country homes in convenient localities rereabouts have plenty of callers from among their wheeling friends. This pleas- ure will increase as the days grow cooler, as October offers possibilities to country dwellers as well as the wheeling fraternity which can hardly be surpassed. At Newport there are still spasmodic ef- forts at gayety, in much of which the Brice family is pre-eminent in their own home, as well as in attendance upon their neighbors’ hospitalities. Gradually, how- ever, the dwellers in these grand homes are scattering either to other pleasure resorts or to spend the fall months at their coun- try places, where congenial gatherings are already assembled at their bidding, and where festivity will reign until the date arrives for the winter meeting in town. The diplomatic corps, which has been scattered to the four points of the compass for the past four or five months, will soon be heard from again. The British embassy will likely remain closed for a couple of months, yet, as Sir Jullan, who joined his family only six weeks ago, is now travel- ing with them on the continent. The Earl of Westmeath returned last week from his summer sojourn in England. The office of the embassy is at Newport, where the secretaries and attaches still remain. The French ambassador and Mrs. Pate- notre will close their cottage at Cape May today, and will spend the autumn between Philadelphia and Clifton, their place here. The Italian ambassador and Baroness Fava are now at Lenox, where there is a sufficiently large foreign colony to add interest to all social doings. The German embassy is also well repre- sented in the Berkshires. Baron and Baron- ess Thielman have made a trip to Saratoga lately, but are now back at their Lenox establishment. Captain Heese and Baron von Hergan will be with the embassy the coming Winter. The Mexican minister and Mrs. Romero are about to conclude their summer travels and wil Ibe at the legation today. Lately they have been in New York and both re- turn in excellent health. Minister Je Weckherlin is still abroad. Mavroyeni Bey has not been succeeded yet, so he is still the minister of Turkey. The de- lay in the arrival of his successor is unex- jained, but the friends of the former are very well pleased and quite willing to leave things as they are. The Brazilian minister and family, after a delightful summer in the Adirondacks, are expected home by the Ist of October. Minister and Mrs. Lazo Arriaga have a charming place at Coburg, Canada, border- ing on Lake Ontario, and they will remain there at least another month. The Chinese minister and family have greatly enjoyed a trip to Niagara Falls lately. The Spanish minister and family are at Lenox. The Austrian minister and family are just back fron Europe. The legation this sea- scn will be in the Yulee house, Connecticut avenue. No more pleasant additions to the corps have been recently made than the Argen- tine minister and Mrs. Meron, who have spent most of their summer at their legation home, 1521 K street. Mrs. Meron has been busy studying English, and has attained unusual success in mastering a new lan. guage in such a short time. Her little Caughters are already established in school. The Japanese minister and Mrs. Toru Hoshi have spent all the latter part of the summer out of town. The new Korean minister and family arc spending their first month at this capital by taking in the new sights and scenes and familiarizing themselves with their new home. Mrs. Hannah E. Crosby has returned, after seven weeks’ tour of the west, visit- ing Chicago and several points in Iowa and Minnesota, as well as attending the G. A. R. encampment at St. Paul. The chief clerk of army headquarters. Mr. J. B. Morton, and wife have been set- tled in their new home, North Carolina avenue southeast, the past week, and have had the pleasure of welcoming many friends. Miss Blanche Love of Beltsville, Md., has resumed her studies at the State Nor- ma! School, Baltimore. ‘There was a pleasant gathering of friends at the residence of Mrs. Bosenberg-Weber last night.

Mr. Jcseph Newell Whitney is spending a week at Bridgeport, Conn. Mrs. Whit- ney has returned from Oakland and will be at kome for the winter at 1403 H street. Mrs. Wm. Zell and her daughter Weltha, who have been visiting friends in Annapo- lis for two weeks, have returned.

A. Jones, president; iss A. M. Hoge, vice president; Mr. E. F. King, sec- retary; Miss E. Ryan, treasurer, and Miss M. T. King, editor. Among those present were the Misses M. and L. Bruscke, A.
