[fcllow the example of the early Presi- dents and spend part of the warm | weather in the roomy and comfortable cottage at Soldiers’ Home. President !Grant was the Jast occupant of the i White House to spend any considera- ble part of the summer there. though both Presidents Hayes and Arthur \2mained there for a few days. President Cleveland started the fashion of summer homes for the ch'ef magistrate and he may also be sald to be the ploneer of the villa ilife which has developed so largely iabout Washington since his day. The Capital City folks feel a bit ag- grieved that every section of the cougtry is trying to lure the "Presi-| dent away Wh he can be so com- fortable within its suburbs. With {Congress in session. there scems small chance for the President to do more than spend week ends in a home at all remote, and Mys. Harding has) indver taken a holiday unless her hus-: i{band was ready to take one, too. | Some of the new legislators, who :have been looking about, say that the {summer home' which the government should provide for its executive head should be on the splendid palisades of the Potomac, to which one of the smaller yachts could go and which, contiguous to the fine bridges, would be ‘accessible by land and water, and all within an hour or less of thel White House. It makes a pleasant| prospect, which perhaps might reach a certainty if the more energetic are given free rein in the matter. l H Washingtonians were numerous in the | dress parade on the Boardwalk at At-| langic City Easter Sunday and the days | following, and according to one of the pedestrians who has returned one of the most attractive gowns was on a maid who hag recently returned from Parls. She whre one of those much- advertised Ypeg-top” gowns in tan tri cotine. Everywhere these peculiarly shaped skirts are to be seen in Europe, but few figure in_the modes on this side of the ocean. This gown clung about the knees, for the hem reached but a few inches below this point, and theh seemed to circle the body like the string of a top until it made a bouffant ef- fect above - the shoulders. A bolero Jacket is part of the costume, made al- most entirely of tan embroidery, but the ! weather Easter Sunday precluded the use of any wrap. so that this possibly popular new style was to be seen in full form. Al the new French suits are called the two-piece som. but the pieces are 4 jacket or cape to be worn with a princess or peg-top gown. ' Senorita Manuela Lioveras, who orders all her !gowns from Paris, has one example of this variety, a golden brown satin af- fair, very plainly made, with deep hem effect and an overdress perfectly un- | |draped, which is ideal for afternoon wear in the house or on the strect. But lelh this difference, that a draped heavy satin cape is part of the costume and a smart accessory in the changeable weather of a Washington spring. Paris has lopped off the coat suit as | we know it, which means a separate bodice, and a rather complicated toilet at best, and instituted the two-piece effect, which thus provides a walking costume and an afternoon or matinee | gown all at one stroke. Many of the flower lovers of Washington took- a run over to New York last week to attend the show at the Grand Central Palace, the proceeds of which went to the Social Center of Bellevue Hospital. Every ome sighed to remember what splen- 4if gardens are abqut ‘Washington, with no place provided in which to exhibit their triumphs. There were some marvelous camelias at the New York show from the W. R, Coe place on Oyster Bay, near Sagamore Hill, and a display of acacias from Mrs. F. A. Constable’s gardens. Mra. Charles Sabin, who was formerly Miss Polly | Morton, a cabinet belle in the first j Roosevelt administration, exhibited some rare azaleas, and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney had a collection of old-fashioned garden blooms, snap dragons, delphinium and larkspur. All were hothouse offerings and not as tempting to the gardener as those iraiged in the open, but they made a sumptuous exhibition. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney has re- | cently designed a dainty statue to mark, off the“street of roses. which | Opens into the tea garden, where a { collatfon was served by a number of women who are wel known in Wash- ington. Mrs. Paul Morton had charge of & sandwich booth, and Mrs. George W. Wickersham was pouring tea all afternoon of the first®day of the show, with Mrs. Willard Straight, Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson and Mrs. James W. Gerard as assistants. It is probable that the Secretary of State will not prove the robust foe of Cupid when he attacks young men connected with the foreign service that former Secretary Colby was. The former head of the State Department made it quite plain that when a man sought honors in the diplomatic ‘or consular service. he would be wise to place no handicaps in his way as a marriage to a foreigner might prove. Mer. Richard E. Pennoyer of the Amer- fcan embassy in London was wed| jabout three years ago to a lady in ex-| alted circles, the widow of a viscount, the mother of a prospective earl and which gave her precedence wherever court etiquette is observed and proved embarrassing to the other members of the embassy staff. Mr. Pennoyer is a Californian, with a handsome fortune and undeniable talents of tatecraft. but he will probably resign from the service, unless he wishes to pass all of his years.in the Latin American states or in the,republican countries of Europe. » Mr. Hughes has not vet taken the matter upder advisement and will probably make no definite rule, but will treat each individual case as it comes up for.revision. Argentina has recently made a dra; tie rule about her diplomats. To pro- vide against divided allegiance, 8o un- | happily apparent during the late war, she makes 1t imperative that all ‘tiic men in her forelgn service marry ei- ther those of their own country or.of the western world. Maids from Eu- rope, the orient or Canada or any other British possession .’z‘re baPred. Germany long ago plhced heavy pen- alties on a diplomat wedding any save a German woman. But neither states- men nor philosophers have been ex- traordinarily successful when med- dling in the activities of Cupid, and it is likely that so wise 2 man as Mr. Hughes_will not attempt to curtail |them. There is no discounting that the younger members of the Washington corps will lose much of their soclal prominence if the rule which Mr. Col- by laid down is universally adopted. Mrs. Willlam Astor Chanler, the brilliant young amateur scufptor who iy fast -achieving fame, will, spend a few weeks in Washington. fhe latter part of the month. Mrs. Chanler has recelved many honors from -the French government, not only for her excellent statues, which adorn the Lafayette mansion in Paris, but also for her untiring zeal in collecting funds to remodel that hallowed place into a home for American soldiers. Having obtained the means for ‘the work, she, with several wounded members of the Beaux Arts, trans- formed the ancient domieile into a model house such as the recreational centers approved, with the entire ground floor thrown into a living room and smaller apartments in the ! remainder of the space. Mrs. Chanler Is one -of five New York women who have been specially commended for their intelligent and uhtiring zea) for art. The others are Mrs. Ripley Hitchcock, founder of the Three Arts Club, president of the Art Centre and a trustee of the Art Alli- ance of-America. and her foremost | and moOBt zealous assistant in all, | sands. }Cottage at Soldiers’ Home May Be Used by President Hope Expressed for Return to Old Custom.

No doubt nearly- every other great city of the Union has a group of pub- lic-spirited women to whom the fine arts are a heavy debtor, but they have not yet singled them out for munici- pal honors. Laddid\ the President's dog, is by 0dds the most gentlemanly and unob- trusive of his kind and probably the best “sitter” for the camera of all the renowed pets which have preceded him in the White House. Once every | hour the smiling colored boy who had the Airedale in charge Easter Monday morning would lead him out | v a chain, when he instantly became the focus of hundreds of kodaks. He seemed to know immediately that he was wanted to pose and would stand erect. with tail properly poised and eves fixed on the camera Then he vould saunter among the youngsters. niff a little, but make no effort to play or get frisky. He sat for hours on ‘a chair on the south verandah, in full view of the concourse. never mov- ing, but gasinz placidly down on the growd, shying in canine languasge: “I now you all want to see me, &0 here Iam.” And there he sta; until the whirlwind drove him in. ster Mon- day evidently has his entire approval, for during the height of the fun not Sren his dinner could tempt him in- side. One of the things which President Harding Intends to do when time per- mits is to select a design from a num- ber of book-plates which have tempt- ed him. So little is heard nowadays of book-plates, compared to their wide popularity ten or more vears ago. it might be imagincd that inter- est in them had lap; d, whereas it Wwas never more intense. H Several artists devote their entire time to this work, and recent designs are marvelously subtle and ‘appro- vriate. For years the President and Mrs. Harding have been gathering a rare library of books and old prints, but they had deferred ordering their | book-plate because the choice was difficult, as it is always in a miscel- laneous collection. A mark which would be appropriate in the grave works of history and statecraft would look heavy and pedantic on the lighter volumes of romance and trav- el. Tt becomes a stroke of genius to select a book-plate which fits neatly into_all kinds of books. A fine collection of book-plates may be inspected at the Library of Con- gress, and if only the family of dead luminaries would contribute these aple?gld memorials, _the collection would spon become one of t - est in the world, 2o great rs. Helen Gould Shepard pos- Sesses _a book-plate of unusual charm, the edges being treated after an old missal, with a mother and child reading a great tome togetHer at theibase. Above is Mrs. Shepard's name and the fine quotation, “Dreams, books gre each a world, and books we Know as a world substantial for &o00d.” The late President Roosevelt nossessed a rare and appealing book- plate, the work of an old Oxford engraver, with a qoutation from Ovid, a treasure which the Library of, Congress hopes to secure some tifhe. - Count Claus Largeren and his son, who have been guests at Wardman Park Hotel for the greater part of the winter, are both well known in their own lands and in those parts of this country where Scandinavian literature flourishes, as the authars of several Books. The elder count, more than thirty-five years ago, translated into Swedish the best known work of the late Cardinal Gibbons, “The Faith of Our Fa- thers.” Within a month the aged and lamented prelate entertained the Swedish visitors in his home ad- joining the cathedral, and both were honored " with an invitation to sit among the distinguished men from all countries who attended the obse- quies Thursday. Count Largeren be- | longs to the old nobility of Sweden and his splendid countryseat, Tyreso Castle, is one of the stateliest piles in the north of Europe. The count and his son will travel extensively in the northwest before returning to ' Tyreso. . i The Duke of Devonshire has spent ' weeks going from place to place -in khe Dominion, making his official farewells, and now the rurfior is con- firmed that Lord Haig is to-be his successor as governor general of Canada. Naturally, all the celebri- ties of American expeditionary forces are delighted to hear this, and a series of visits to Washington is cer- | tain to follow the coming of- the' fleid_marshal of the British army in the European war to Ottawa. Once it seemed entirely within the { possibilities to have a reunion of all the general commanders and Gen. Pershing, and the executives of the American Legion have repeatedly in- | vited them. Marshal Petain, who | commanded the French army, and | Lord Haig had definitely accepted the | invitation when the flurry about th: German border kept them at home. But eventually it may be possible, and Gen. Diaz, who performed such heroic service in the Italian army of the Tyrol may also join this group : of renowned heroes. 'But Lord Haig will undoubtedly come to Washington Just as soon as his official obligations in Ottawa have been discharged. Americans in_London during the Easter season fell far short of the usual number. but then even the at- tractions in the Holy Land and the Riviera could not fail to lure thou- But there were many at their favorite hotels, and among them were the most famous sartorial and decora. tive artists, who came to view that superb exhibition of medieval vest- ments in Westminster Abbey, the first of its kind ever attempted in the long history of that venerable edifice. | The copes, stoles and chasubles are | among the most valyable in the world, and perhaps rank immediately after those at the Vatican, Vienna and Paris. Many of them were embroidered by fingers that had long been dust before Columbus turned his ships westward. The inventaries of the most precious specimeni are confined to the cen- turies between 1358 and 1640. The con- clusion is unavoidable that nothing worth while in ecclesiastical embroid- ery and painting has been done since. All the great masters of clothes. like Paul Poiret of Paris, arrived early, and passed hours studying the color ef- fect and th» long graceful lines of | vestments, no longer in the service of the Church of England.
