Is particularly rich In historic names which have come down from the co- lonial period to the present time. The Bayerds have furnished a worthy|Tapraq, chapter, and 8o have the du Ponts. Gen. Coleman du Pont has been appointed to fill Judge Wolcott's seat in the Sen- ate, and he will be the second of his family to fill this role within the past twenty years. His cousin, Henry du Pont, recently gave place to Judge Wolcott, after serving two terms. Gen. Coleman du Pont is a Kentuckian by birth, but returned in early man- hood to_the stronghold of his family on the Brandywine. He is one of the dignified figures in the political and social circles of Wilmington, where he now malntains his home. and his coming to the Senate will add a bril- llant chapter to that august bod: Mrs. du Pont is a charming hostes: with the background of wealth, cul ture and distinguished ancestry, and is emong the leaders in a section where greater opulence is centered in a small area than perhaps anywhere else in this country. The minister of posts in Toklo has just announced a general celebration of the diamond jubilee of the Japan- L e N in war work and spent some time in France. Their home was at 1737 H :ltree(, in the older residential sec- on. An entirely new summer resort is at- tracting many visitors wno wish to com- bine health and rest with philanthropic activity. This is furnished by Dr. W. T. Grenfell in_his famous foundation off or. Dr. Grenfell, who has been a frequent visitor to Washington since he acted as best man for his former chum, Mr. Francis Bowles Sayre, at his mar- riage to Miss Jessie Wilson, invited sev- eral nurses whose work had proved too heavy a strain to try an outing with light” duties on the Labrador coast. Johns Hopkins and Princeton infirma- Tes have sent a contingent under the direction of Mrs. Grenfell, who sailed with her aids on the Strathconia a week ago, while Prof. and Mrs. Morse of Cambridge and their daughter Dor- othea are taking a Jolly crew of Harvard medical students ‘and_some nutrition nurses from the large Boston hospitals. Among_these are Miss Mirlam Butler, Miss Mary Proctor, Miss Theodore Wi lard, Miss Andrea Adie, all distinguished members of Boston's younger social set. Dr. and Mrs. Grenfeil maintain a pri- vate steamship, which makes frequent trips from Newfoundland throughout the summer and brings mail and pro- visions at least tri-weekly. Besides Dr. Grenfell's splendid foun- dation, near Hamiltons Inlet, there are two other well equipped hospitals at Battle Harbor and at Hamilton, while MISS JOSEPHINE DRANE, Daughter of Representative and Mrs. Herbert J. Drane, who christened the 8. 8, Peninsuiar State in Philadelphia Wednesday. don and Mrs. George Harvey began their residence abroad in such a burst of political pyrotechnics that their private affairs have been entirely neglected. Col. Harvey has taken, over the lease of Lady Waterlow's mansion at 29 Chesham place, which his prede- cessor, Mr. John W. Davis, held and| which'is for the next five years. This mansion is central and spacious, and surrounded by a garden which is ample for alfresco entertaining o popular_in London during the court scagon. Lady Waterlow was Miss Mar- garet Hamilton, daughter of Mr. Wil- llam Hamilton, the enormously rich fruit grower of Napa, Calif., when she married Sir Sydney Hedley Water- low in 1882. Sir Sydney was elected lord mayor of London, 1892-93, and his California wife set a new pace for munificence towayd the poor. At her suggestion, the lord mayor made over his fine estate, Waterlow Park, consisting of thirty acres just beyond recent fete given in the London resi- dence in St. James' uare, Lady As- tor had thousands on exhibition, some growing in earthen jars. others clus- tered among their lustrous leaves in crystal vases. This fete was given in honor of the American trade dele- gates from this country and Canada, and among the assistants of Lady As- tor were Mrs. J. Butler Wright, for- merly Miss Harriet Southerland of this city; Lady Irens Curzon, Col. and Mrs. Clay Spender, the latter formerly Miss Pauline Astor, and Mrs. Curtis Brown, wife of the well known corre- spondent of The Star and other pa- pers. In Paris. the season is reaching a brilliant climax. Nineteen balls were given in May, great balls wherein the fushionables of the world mingled. and in June the number soared to fif- ty. But ail were for charity, even the usive leaders in the Faubourg St rmain section and beyond “The Star,” permitting hat box charges to be applied to the devastated reglons fund. Enticing names were attached by the Paris matrons to their charity talls. One was rainbow, when the rooms were decked with the whole scale of color and the grand march was led by the lovely young Marquise de Polignac, who was Miss Crosby of New Ycrk and Virginia, clad in shim- mering tiesue and cloth of gold, with a marvelous headdress of beaded feathers. A moonlight ball was an- other marveloug affair, and the ball large hotels and chief guests program, dancing on the xreen refreshments on_small tables, the real entertainment, a vivid 1if production of a Montmartre cabare! with the jazz going furiously and th actors dancing as they pleased, an finally the edict of the king of th carnival that all who felt dispose could join in the fun.

He has come back to as- sist in one of the biggest jobs facing the government at this time, the re- o1ganization of the financial system of the nation, being the executive assistant to Gen. harles G. Dawes, director of the budget. Mr. Kilkenny will be remembered as one of the leaders in_the “back to Ireland” movement before the war, which was responsible for thousands of Irish- men returning to visit their father- land.

He was educated in Honoluly, the United States and England. He is a cousin Queen Kapiolani, consort of Kalae kaua. He was created prince by royal proclamation in 1884, and mar- rled the daughter of the chief of the Island of Maui. He has been a terri torial delegate in the United States Congress for twenty years.
