Story of Senntor Chamberinin. George Farle Chamberlain, senator from Oregon, who has been so crit- ically ill for several weeks, is one of the group of notable statesmen born in Mississippi who departed from that commonwealth to mount the political heights elsewhere. When Senator Chamberlain took his seat in the up- per chamber in 1909 as the result of the first “primaries held in Oregon, Mississippi was the mother of se ators. having no less than seven n: tive sons wearing the toga, conspicu- ol amongz whom was Joseph E. Ba ley of Texas. This, when one of the Mississippl _senators, John_ Sharpe Williams, was born in Memphis, Tenn., was a remarkable record. The Oregon statesman retains the most consuming love for the great bluffs above Natchez, where his father's plantation was situated and where a mile down the bank lived the yowng lady whom he was destined to marry. Rarely when the parents of either the senator or Mrs. Chamberlain lived did they omit an annual visit. Both the Chamberlains are the children of fine old country doctors, and their r mance was a neighborhood affair, b ginning at the juvenile parties of the Mississippi river in the late seventies. Thred of the attractive daughters of the senator made their debut here and enjoyed social honors, but all went home to marry sons of Oregon. Mrs. Chamberiain has not been in robusf health for some years and has not come to Washington since the winter she presented Miss Fannie Welch Chamberlain, the youngest of the sev- en children. Gays Will Be Misned. Although there is a fecling of sat- isfaction’ that Edwin S. Broussard has been elected to the Senate to fill the place of his distinguished brother, Robert F. Broussard, there are many who lament the passing of Senator Edward James Gay and his wife, who was Miss Gladys Fenner of New Orleans. Mrs. Gay enjoyed a season of belleship before she went to the rather remote sugar and tobacco plantations of her husband near Plaquemine on the bayous. She is a keen historical student and has the romantic story of the Pelican state at her fingers’ ends. It was she who introduced the charming tableau, the coming of the casket girls into the French colony, in the Lincoln_cel bration last winter. Senator Gay among the few planters of his e vironment who_raise that delectable Founded 1857 1 ficult In Social and Official Life Letters of William M.

Will Visit Washington. The Earl and Countess of Granard, who arrived in New York a few days ago with their three children, will| make a lengthy visit to the father of the countess, Mr. Ogden Mills, in New and in_the country seat near Staatsburg. The earl, wfhose prin- fpEonerty RN Ircland. is an old d neighbor of Lady Geddes. T P e e e visit to Washington and renew the ties. Mr. Mills, who was recently bereaved of his wi home in southern California, will take his son-in-law and—dauxmn there about the end of this month, and the sojourn to this city will prob- ably be made en route to Pasadena. The youngsters make a sturdy group, and are two daughters, and Lady Eileen Forbes, six and eight. and the only son, Viscount Forbes, who is three. Lady Granard is de- voted to her Irish home, and is much beloved there. She has taken over all the traditions of the illustrious family into which she married, in- cluding the soft Gaelic names which all her children bear. Mrs. Whitelaw Reld. aunt of the countess, is already established in_California, and is an- ipating a visit from her daughter. the Hon. Mrs. John Ward, and her children. Equestrian Portrait Painter. The coming of that eminent Pole, Wojciech Kossak, will without doubt give an impetus’ to equestrian por= traits, for he is considered the legiti- mate ‘successor of Meissonier in de- picting horses. and he was_ likewise the pupil of the painter of the fa- mous modern battle scenes. Mr. Ko: sak has obligingly changed his di first name into its English equivalent, Albert, and he is making ready to add to his laurels at va- hunt clubs. His large canvas Molly Crawford of New York. mounted on the blue ribbon pony, Huck Finn, has been enthusiasticall received. It is rumored that the dis- tinguished Pole, who was court paint- er of the late kaiser, and whose pres- entation of the war lord mounted on his milk-white charger is the most dignified _of all his portraits. will paint some well knowh Washington beauties and equestriennes. notably Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry. Gen. Bu- chanan will also have a hunting { scene, and some of the younger rid- ers, like Miss Helen Marye and Miss Mona Blodgett, will be painted on their faverite mounts. The Polish artist ha® won every honor open to his_craft—the Logion of Honor from rance for his wonderful portrait of oleon at Austerlitz, several Aus- trian medals and decorations for his most famous canvas, “Red SurMay.” the most ambitious work of the ar- tist, which shows the charge of the M.

Chorus of Disapproval. A chorus of disapproval goes up all over the world that the exquisite re- production of the historic chateau at Chenonceaux, in northern France, erected by Richard M. Hunt for the late William K. Vanderbilt, is to be demolished to make room for a mod- ern bank building. French architects deplore that so soon the Vanderbilt | heirs turn éver the most splendid | {memory of William K. to the com- mercial Juggernaut and more espe- | cially since the chateau itself fell a | victim to the German hordes in the | first onrush of the German troops| over the Belgian frontier in 1914. The \ late William K. Vanderbilt spent more than ten years planning his mansion, which is diagonally across from St. Patrick’s Cathedral, on 5th avenue and 51st street, and it was the isupreme effort of that graceful and successful architect, Mr. Hunt. French | members of the Academy of Fine Arts {lament that since America has so few {excellent specimens of domestic ar- | chitecture, it seems fatal they should |not be preserved. Mr. Hunt pur- {chased in France whole interiors of { rooms which could be refitted into the 5th avenue mansion and not an inch e failed to present SOCIETY THE MODEL FUR SHOP 17 1.
