Newport Stirred by Rumor| Of Visit by the President Former Animosity Toward Resort Believed Dis- pelled—Roosevelt, Only President to. Visit Th:l’e. p.asaecl The rumored visit of the President and Mrs. Harding to the Suffern Tailers In Newport is by far che most important news relating to that il- lustrous resort this season. But one other President dver set foot in Newport while he held his high office;, and that fvas Theodore Roosevelt, who went gere to fulfill a promise made to Mrflnd Mrs. Lewls Stuyvesant Chanler, fo act as spon- sor for their infant son. But so great was the prejudice® existing: at that time toward the beautiful old city in Rhode Island that the President arrived in his yaght, anchored well outside the harbor and on landing| sped like the wind to “The Cliffs,”| the Chanler villa. Allowing for ar-} rival, departure and the time allotted | for the qulet, religious ceremony, President Roosevelt passed exactly one hour in Newport, for he was poli- tician cnough to wefgh the disadvan- tage accruing from a longer stay or one which partook even slightly of a eocial nature, 8o intense was the anis mosity which people ganerally felt toward its people, the idle rich as the term went. ~But times havel! changed. The crime of lgeing wealthy, as Andrew Carnegie put it, has been. condoned since the war, when the opulent sent their sons to France long before this country declared war and when their zold poured out free- 1y for every cause. President and Mis. Harding have no fear of being misunderstood in ac-; cepting the brief hospitality of the Tailers, or of tMeir mingling with the ancient aristocracy of the queen of American resorts. . Gen. Emiliano Chamorro, who, with Senora de Chamorro and their niece, Miss Adela Enriquez, are pasaing the early summer at Wardman Park Ho- tel, has just laid down the reins of government in Nicaragua and had an- ticipated a long sojourn of rest in Eu- rope. He accepted the post of min- ister to Washington in order to com- plete certain negotiations relating to the Panama canal which were beguni by a former minister, Senor Corea,! and which safeguard Nicaragua's in terests in_the waterway which wai selected after the route to thé north had been abandoned. The Chamorros belong to a powerful family which js; partially of Indian blood and which tock such a heroic part in the revolu- tlon which overturned the Zelaya re-! gime. It was in this struggle that he | obtained his military title, and for a time he was chief commander in the! army. of patriots, as the insurgents were. known. Senora Chamorro, who is well remembered as a hostess in the diplomatic set and -for her dig- nity and grace as presiding lady of | the mansion in San Jose, the Nica-! raguan capital, followed her husband all through the war, often riding be- side him for days, and performing and bringing news from distant parts of the struggle. Her niece, Miss En- riques, has not yet been formally pre- sented to society and will be among the interesting buds of next autumn. Washington society was well repre- sented at the Chantilly races in Paris toward the end of June, when the Arg ' ntine ambassador, Mme. Le Bre- ton and Miss Manuel Lloveras were interested , spectators. Baroness de Cartier entertained a group of Amer- ican friends, among whom were Mr. John Barton Pavne, former Secrefary cf the Interior, and Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam E. R. Hitt, Mrs. Clarence Win- throp Bowen of New York and her daughter, Mrs R. W. Van Rennsalaer. who returned frorh attending the Her- bert-Willard wedding in Madrid, were ccnstant, attendants, and others were Mrs. John R. Drexel, Mrs. Cortlandt Field Bishop and Mrs. Armstrong Whitney. ' Frank J. Gould, A. Kingsley Ma- comber and J. D. Cohn were the only | Americans who entered horses, though hundreds were _represented at the British races held a few weeks pre- vious to the Paris events. The most numerous and fashionable contingent of Americans is now registered in Paris since the eventful summer of 1914, sent the visitors scampering for the hearest seaport. Of the more than 100,000, about one-sixth have perma- nent homes and intend remaining in France at least a year. The venerable Mra. John W. Mackay | has tired of her native land, and, though _her_determination in return- ing to New York was to round out her span adjacent to her son and grand- children, she sailed last week for the | Mediterranean ports to join her ®ughter, Countess de Bonvouloir, who resides in the summer near Monte Rosa in Lombardy. Mme. Ferdinand de Mohrenschildt, formerly Miss Nona McAdoo, will spend most of the sum- mer with her aunt in the Appenines, above Milan, and will go later to Parui ki and London. Miss Elsie Clews Par- sons, daughter of former Represent- ative Herbert Parsons, is making a brief tour of the Italian lakes after a season of shopping in Paris. Shewill return some- time in July, and her marrigge to Morehead Patterson will take place in the Parsons home, in Lenox, on September 3. Miss Parsons is with her grandmother, Mrs. Henry Clews, and Mr. Pattefson intends to via Havre. Mr. and Mrs. James Ge- rard are making their first visit to Europe after their experiences in 1914. They are at present in the Swiss Alps. Mr. and Mrs. William Littauer have opened their villa at Dinard, and Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Baruch, Miss Belle and Miss Renee Baruch are in the gay throng about Dinard. ‘Washington's sister city, Baltimore, is bestirring herself in the same way which has been noted here, namely the friends of music have bamded themselves into a compact society for the upholding of their symphony or- chestra, . The leaders of the movement are Mr. and Mrs John W. Garrett, who are equally at home in this city. Sev- eral rousin® meetings have recently been held at their suburban home, at which Judge Carroll Bond pre- sided, and the outqpme is that an- other series of delightful concerts will be added to the winter schedule for Washington, the Baltimore Sym- phony. Mrs. Garrett, who was for- merly Miss Alice Warder of this city and the sister of Mrs. Harr} Lenoard and Mrs. Ralph Ellis, has taken over the chairmanship of the finance com- Do With Them?

Among those who are assisting Mrs. Garrett are Mrs., W. W. Abell, Mrs. J. Ellis Coale, Mrs. Henry Barton Jacobs and {Ral Parr, J. Lawrason Riggs, Ernest Jenkins Young. Interfors have changed so radically in the past ten years that some of the most important houses in Wash- ington eagerly await the completion of the Hall of Archives in order that they may clear the premises of ob- jects of “intrinsic value and of his- toric importance, which cumber them. Mrs. Joseph E. Thropp, whose resi- dence ig at R street and Connecticut avenue, is the daughter of the lats Thomas Alexander Scott, that Lon- doner who began life modestly in the employ of the. Pennsylvania railroad and ended it as its president and one of its famous executiVes. Mr. Scott was superintendent of all the rafl- roads and telegraphs during the civil war and rendered invaluable services then and later. He was likewise as- sistant secretary in 1861 and achieved world distinction by the masterly way in which he ran rails for the relief of Gen. Rosecrans at Chattanooga. Naturaliy all these various roles ap- pealed to friends and associations, 5o that the gifts presented to him would fill a fair-sized room in any museum. Mrs. Thropp has kept them sacredly, but at the cost of much-needed space in her drawing rooms and corridors. She will in due time present the largest and most valuable of the sil- ver offerings to the government, and all other significant tsouvenirs wil go to other museums in Philadelphia and other cities. Mrs. Larz Anderson has some Spanish curfous, among them a complete assortment of bullfighters’ mantles and daggers. Mrs. Dewey has gradually been dispersing the admiral's collection, but a wealth re- mains, which will go to the govern- ment hall, when It is at last an es- tablished fact. and Dr. Hugh Hampson Since London reads “The Age of Innocence” as eagerly as the fellow countrymen of its author, the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lanier Law- erice to visit Lady Ribblesd: Holl r.
