Sa SS SE 7 |THE SOCIAL WORLD The Residence of the Future Secre- tary of State WELL ADAPTED FOR SOCIAL USES The Coming Marriage of Miss Bay- ' ard and Mr. Hilles. OTHER TIMELY TOPICS Se Mr. and Mrs. John Hay have one of the finest houses in Washington. Their resi- dence, corner of 16th and H streets, has been unoccupied since their departure for Europe, but will soon be opened in prepa- ration for the coming home of the family, which will be, according to Mr. Hay’s own statement, within a month or so. About October 15 Washington begins to wake up from the deadly quiet of its long summer sleep and resumes its ordinary attractive- ness." There will be many more than the usual number of changes in the social list, although in the cases of the new members of the cabinet neither is an absolute stran- ger. Mrs. Hay is well known, especially among the residents, and the younger mem- bers of the family were reared here. Miss Hay was a debutante a few seasons back, and her younger sister will soon be a claim- ant for the same honors. Mrs. Hay is ac- customed to giving large entertainments, and has, besides, the courage of her con- victions, for when she entertained her daughter's young friends at a Christmas dance a few years ago there were no liquids more exhilarating than apoilinaris served. Mrs. Smith, wife of the Postmaster Gen- eral, is much more of a stranger to Wash- ington, but made friends of the few ac- quaintances she met in the late spring, while here on a visit. Sh> has spent the summer at one of the near-by Virginia springs, and has enjoyed a good rest in an- ticipation of a busy winter, her first in Washington. If, as report says, Sir Julian Pauncefote is to be superseded by a n2w ambassador, the presence of another family in her maj- esty’s embassy will add to the important part which strange faces will bear in next winter’s program. Rumor, back>d up by cable advices, has it that the Russian am- bassader, Count Cassini, is needed at home and that his country will be represented here soon by another. Count Cassini has become very well acquainted with the Washington colony at Narragansett Pier, but has not had any opportunity to meet society here, as he came after the summer scattering was well advanced. Unusual in- terest will naturally be extended to the French embassy, M. Cambon having so well enacted the role of peacemaker, an opportu- nity which hardly comes to any man more tkan once in a lifetime. His son Roger icined his father here a fortnight or so ago, and late In the fall Mrs. Cambon and the daughter of the family will cross the ocean. In the social rounds no house can be more keenly missed than the Mexican legation. Minister Romero, who arrived in Mexico a week ago with the remains of his wife, will return here in course of a short time. One of the most beautiful tributes paid to her memory the two days the body rested in the chapel of the French cemetery there, where relatives and friends were the guard of honor, was the great quantity of beaut ful flowers s»nt without cards by persons— largely, It is said, Americans—who did not know Mrs. Romero, but who united in this pretty token to express their respect and admi ion for one who had done so much to make Americans popular in Mexico. There were thirty of these namel wreaths awaiting the arrival of the funeral train at the railroad station, in addition to the numbers sent by well-known persons. The announcem=nt of the engagement of Miss Florence Lee Bayard to Mr. William S. Hilies of Wilmington, Del., was made from Boston, where Miss Bayard and her fiance are visiting Mrs. Warren, the eldest daughter of former Ambassador Bayard. Miss Florence Fayard is probably the best known of the members of that family in Wasnington, and is generally popular. She saw considerable of London society while her father was ambassador, but was in this country the most of the tims. She is an en- siastic athlete, and when in Wilmington a familiar figure at the Delaware Club, of which she is a member, hav- ing held the championstip of the club for tennis for several years. She is now the best woman golfer in Delaware, and she drives tandem with the skill of an accom- plished whip. Her engagement to Mr. Hilles is scarcely a surprise, as they hav= been in- timate friends for years. Mr. Hilles is of an old Quaker family, his father having teen John S. Hilles. He was graduated from Haverford, Pa., College in 188. He afterward admitted to the bar, and is now a prominent republican lead ‘The date of the wedding has not been fixed upon, but it is generally believed that it will take place 2arly in the autumn.
