Among the many celebrations de- ferred be-ause of the world war was the centenary of the signing of the treaty of Ghent and which was to have been stageq in, the old Sulgrave Manor in England by a joint commit- tee of Americans and Britons. Sul- grave Manor was purchased by the late Earl Grey, so frequently in Wash- ington as the guest of the late George Westinghouse, as the representative of a restoration committee which wished to keep the seat of the Wash- ington family in England as a per- petual memorial.

She belonged to & promiment family of Managua. ‘Wwhich, like that of her husband, had rebelled against Zelaya and had start- ed a revolution. Disguised as a sail- or, she escaped in an open boat from Nicaraguan waters, and, meeting the gallant Don Emiliano on friendly soil, the two were married, the husband re- turning at once to his military com- mand and his bride beginning a series of sorties into the enemy lines through devices which challenge comparison with novels of adventure. Mme. Cha- morro is a strikingly handsome wom- an and is accomplished in the athletic sense as well as intellectually. ‘Neweomers Will Fiand Capttal Summer Resort. Many of the senior senatotial wom- en will observe Thuradays at home during the next six weeks, and the #ame will be @one by women whose Busbands have: served for #ome years in the lower house. Thig is done to #ive the great number of newcomers an opportunity to get in their calls +nd to begin at once to participate in the gayeties of a Washington spring. But the great preponderance of those elected last November are young men with young families, and it appears that nearly all the wives of these leg- islators have tarried at home until they can bring the youngsters at the end of the school year. So it prom. ises to be an unusually active sum- mer in the social way, for the Capital city has a well established reputation 2s a summer resort, ahd a number of attractions will be added this year to ithose already listed. The Potomac Park resthouses will be in full swing, for the tennis player and golfers, even for the fisher people or those who werely like to picnic om_the river nks. thouses . and benches have been added to the pleasures of visiting Rock Creek Park, and ail manner of new luxuries are noted at the swimming pool.

Henry Dupont. jr.; Mrs. Larz Ander- n gnd Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloss, Mrs. Vincent Astor is chairman, with Miss Juliana Cutting as vice chair- man. In the Colonial ball given in Washington recently many were cos- tumed after some remote ancestor or ancestress. But the revelers at Fa- ther Knickerbockers fete will repre. sen. some authentic character in the upbullding of the city, whethet of one's family or not. Mrs. Astor read early cdhapters in the story of New Amstérdam with unflagging zeal, and she proposes to have every detail conform to the records, while danc- ing and costuming will reach a high degree of' historical accuracy. A series of living portraits of illustrious men and women of the past will be arranged and some tableaus of stir. ring events. This ball has been for Some years an annual affaif, and to inspire local pride and at the same time to provide funds to keep up the chronicles of the city hich leaps forward so rapidly, it has proven so successful that it calls to other mu- nicipalities to do likewise.

There are three little daughters, besides the little count, who is the godson of King George and Queen Mary, the Honor- ables Ursula, Joan and Victoria Au- drey Talbot, and a lovelier group of youngsters has not been seen in Wash- ington in many a day. Mr. Pennoyer intends to pass the early spring in his fine home at Berkeley and at the villa in Sausalto, where, from his front veranda, he enjoys one of the most gorgeous marine views in the world. A trip down the Pacific coast to view the wonders of Catalina Is- land and to allow Lady Winnefred to see something of the sport of tuna fishing also is contemplated. But, though Lady Winnefred may elect to become a residént of California and take over American ways, she cannot rear her mon there, nor would it be easy to get permigsion to keep har daughters in this country when they are no longer of tender years—one of the problems which American men who_marry peeresses have to solve.
