The glory ‘of possessing thé super. dog as well as the superhorse ha: come to Philadelphia through Mr. Jo- seph E.

This last word in canine intelligence, loyalty and courage occupies an extensive pre- serve off the Wynnewood stables and he has two personal attendants to look after his wants. tering his second from that marvelous strain of police dogs _of which even the enemies of the Teutons wrote in such glowing terms during the war. Dolf fills a muititude of roles, among them that of special night watchman in stables and grounds, and since his arrival no one troubles about burglar alarms or safety locks. He makes a grand cir- cuit of the estate several times dur- ing the night and even penetrates into the basement to see that all goes Well with' the' fireman and others em- ployed there through the night. He passes around . verandas and. doors, sniffing to aee if an enemy has been near ‘since his list tramp, and so untiring is his vigllance that the inmates of Lynnewood would will- ingly leave their treasures in the front hall with, the door open ir Dolf is at his post. Though New England has aiways claimed that its small cities and out- lying _districts mbre nearly resemble lite 10 the-o:lder.tcountry' of England e continent, some members o the British and French- embassles who have. recently accepted the invitation of the Piedmont Hunt Club. find that the fine rolling land .about Upperville and Middleburg, in Fauquier county, Va., bears a stronger resemblance to the - estgies - of the country gentry he plays to be prevented Tuesday, wary 25, by the Drama League for the benefit of Near East Relfef. across the seas. For ofe thing, the stone fences which inclose plantations, gardens, even mill sites and factory boundaries, are covered with ever- green vines, even now gay with ber- ries. Neéw England climate 18 too harsh to compare with the mother country, where, as in Virginia, all through the hunting season, from Oc- tober to March, the hounds and the hunters go out twice a week. The Piedmont Hunt Club is now a cosmo- politan organization and has taken in three others, including the Warrenton Pox and Hunt, the Loudoun County and the famous Piedmont Beagles. Not only is there the sereme background for the sport, but the entire section internationally ac- knowledged important center for horse and hound breeding. Then a delightful colony of homes has sprung about the older houses of Upperville. That of Gen. James A.

Buchanan's stables, behind a grove of fir trees, ex- tend over several acres and are also of stone, with every modern luxury. Close by is the historic old southern mansion, Oak Hill, built by the father of John Marshall and where that most illustrious of American jurists was born. On the pike, just out of Upper- ville, is another famous home, Lian- gollen, where Gen. Lafayette was the Buest of Col. Cuthbert Powell, its builder and owner, when the French ‘hero made his second visit to thi: country. ‘Then there is the home of Col. Richard Hunter Dulany, Mel- bourne, where the hunt club first met, in the autumn of 1852. £Mr. Alexander M. Thackara, consul general of this country in Paris, has recently furnished figures to the State Department showing that more than 22,000 American citizens are now permanent residents of the French capital, according to the tabulation of the police headquarters. This makes the fourth largest foreign colony on the Seine, Italy having nearly 40,000 of her citizens there, the Swiss something like 30,000 and the British about 200 less than the Hel. vetians. Since the war the police de. partment of Paris requires every for- eign resident to take out identifica- tion cards with every personal detail contained on their passports, and these must be indorsed by the diplo- matic and consular officers of their country and also entered on their books. France thus hopes to save her- self harboring colonies of spies, as in the days prior to 1914. Mr. Thackara adds that if American tourists were counted this country could register [almost a hundred thousand, especially during October, when so many sport- ing and social events attract travel- ers. The 22,000 include a large body of students of both sexes and for several purposes, art, music, drama and architecture and letters, and a phe- nomenal number of representatives of financial and commercial concerns which are heavily involved in the French debt. Paris, like the re- mainder of the world is overcrowded and no houses available, but the Americans are proving resourceful enough to find comfortable homes on the outskirts. Mr. and Mrs. Barclay ‘Warburton, the former a grandson of John Wannamaker, have set the fash- fon toward the fine old homes in the ‘Trocadero district which might be compared to the northwest section of this city below 14th street or the northeast about the Capitol. The Warburtons took one and transformed it, and now-every possible dwelling thereabout has been taken over by Americans. Those who have noticed the ex- quisite lamp shades and other useful articles produced by women who de- light in fine sewing and in having their homes decorated by their own work rather than with commercial offerings are much heartened by the news that the making of gloves at one's own home is quite within possibility and in the near future. Al- ready many of the grande dames of London have taken up the fad, and no wonder. When a good-sized plece of kidskin may be purchased for a fow artistry.

In London sewing circles, even that presided over by Queen Mary, and which was founded by the queen’s mother, Princess Mary of Cambridge, may be seen matrons and maids of the highest social rank busi- ly stitching glove fln‘erz or embroid- ering the backs of gioves. Expert cutters are employed. who prepare all the varios parts, while other experts teach how they are joined. Co-oper- ative glove factories are about to be started in Chicago and the fad will spread. Vegetable Roast.
