Another diplomatist who is con- fidently predicted to get a good Euro- pean mission is Mr. Nelson O'Shaugh- nessy, whose wife, the gifted autho: ess, Edith O'Shaughnessy, i of ‘Washington and passed life here. She is the daughter of t brilliant scientist of the Smithsonian Institute, Dr. Eliot Coues, who is v idly remembered for his man. achievements and for some live! polemics with the leaders of the the- osophists, Mme.

Senator and Mrs. Edwin S. Brous- sard of Loui na a among the new official families attacking the hoi ing problem in such earnest that they | are established for a year at least at | 2 Ontario road. They have chosen their domicile with an eye to cooling breezes from the woods about Rock creek during the warm season, and yet near enough to the city to be con- venient in all weathers. Two of their six children, Eugene and George, | are with their parents, while the oth- | ers. Felix, Edwin S., ; -J. Dorville and the only daughter, Miss Marie Louise, remain at school in Louisiana. During the lull now existing in the upper legislative chamber and after {the new home is in readiness, Mrs Broussard will go south, and at the close of the school session bring the |others back with her. Senator Brous- |sard comes of a distinguished family of Louisiana, of Arcadian descent, and {is the brother of the late i Robert F. Broussard, and, like him, 15 a resident of the old capital of the Sparish dominions in Louisiana, New | | Iberia. Mrs. Broussard is likewise from the same city and was before her marriage Miss Marie Patout. Sen- ator and Mrs. Broussard are among the comparatively young members of thelr circle and were married in 1905 | i One of the most distinguished of the riewcomers in the Senate is the s cessor of the popular bachelor man, Mr. Phelan, and is Mr. 3 Morgan Shortridge. Mrs. Shortridge has not been in the most robust health recently, and she has deferred her coming to Washington until later in the year and continues in the fine home in Menlo Park. just outside of San Francisco. There are two sons in this family, the elder, Samuel Morgan, jr. is twenty and is following his father's footsteps and is at present a student of the Law College of the University of California. The other, John Gashweiler Shortridge, Is si teen and is at a military school near his home. Both will accompany their mother to Washington when she joins the senator here in June, but they will return to California next autum | WISS LAURA LEJEUNE, Daughter of Maj. Gen. and Mrs. John A.

Although Lord Queensborough made | & brief stay in Washington, it is probable that his daughter Olive and her husband, Capt. Charfes Winn, will make a prolonged visit to Mrs. Dimock after finishing visits to other New York relatives.
