B R e E e s E R e e g THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, ton Conference Is The suggestion of Col. House that the provincial premiers of Great Brit- ain should be supported at the Wash- ington conference by the presence of Lloyd George has received such hearty approval in London that there is defi- nite hope that the distinguished Welsh- man will be among the statesmen fore- gathered in response to President Harding’s invitation. With the sole ex- ception of Marshal Foch, the British prime minister would attract the Amer- can public more numerously than any one person connected with the war and the subsequent peace negotiations. Should he decide to join his confreres from other parts of the British em- pire, Washington will be an extraordi- nary center of activity during the usual somnolent months of opening autumn. Mrs. Lloyd George invariably accompanies her husband on such mis- sions, and there is a charming young daughter, who was a bud and belle of the last London season. The British statesman enjoys the reputation of de- lighting in a game of golf and it will be a memorable occasion when he pits his skill against the President’s, and possibly on the municipal links, for loyd George is a famous commoner nd aschews clubs and class distinctions of every variety. He has just turned his fifty-eighth year, and yet not a member of the American Congre: approach him in continuous se the same legislative hall. He ha: resented Carnarvon in the hou commons since 1890, whereas the clos- st to this record still in active life is Henry Cabot Lodge. who entered the House of Representatives in 1888 and was promoted to the Senate about six years later. Mr. Gillette, was elected in 1892 and has served uninterruptedly since. Cannon lost a term and so ranks ‘after the two distinguished sons of Massa- the highest importance to the house of Congre: . Another eminent visitor to Wash- ington will be, if his hopes of a va- cation can be realized this autumn, that Lord Lee of Fareham antly remembered here thur Lee, military attache British embassy. during almos entire service of Viscount Bryce. Lord Lee is now first lord of the admi- ralty, and these are trying sibility. But Lord ‘and Lady Lee will Memorial Assoclation to deliver in person to the President of the United which opens the States the silver key ancestral home of the Washingtons. Lady Lee was Miss Ruth Moore, daughter of James G. Moore of New York, and she was selected from among the many British peeresses of American blood because of her utiring efforts to raise the Sulgrave endow- ment fund. The manor, incumbrance, was _ solemnly ted as a shrine of Anglo- American_ friendship and co-operation on June 21. when Mrs. George Harvey unveiled the portrait of Washington, by Gilbert Stuart. which hangs in the dining room over a vast open fire- place. Each room in the ancient manor, which is located in the heart of the English Midlands at North Hants, has been adorned with some offering from the Washington family in this country or from patriotic as- sociations like the Mount Vernon Re- gents or the Daughters of the American Revolution. The new Governor General of Can- ada and Lady Byng, their friends say, will need many more trunks to retain the many splendid gifts which await them than they found necessary to bring into the Dominion. 1In the vast empire, which extends from one ocean to the other, the generous people of the northwest are getting ready every sort of evidence of their affection and good will. But Lady Byng probably will appreciate the thoughtfulness of the manager of a needlework school in Montreal in providing her with a wrap of soft wool knitted in ridge- like effect, and which extends from throat to ankle in billowing folds. Nowhere, perhaps, is such a summer covering more acceptable, for it is light as a feather, knitted in palest gray, with the tinfest line of white fur edg- ing the hem and running up the opening In front and giving a dainty finish to the loose hood. In almost every part of west Canada a wrap is desirable even in the sunny hours, and cloth and velvet are too heavy and fur is out of the question. while light woolen yarn delicately fashioned is just the thing. The lovely garment has been on exhibition in a famous modiste shop of Montreal and has brought forth raptures of admiration and envy. Dr. and Mrs. David Jayne Hill and Miss’ Catherine Hill are among the ‘Americans domiciled in Berlin for the summer, thé former, perhaps, for a stay at least into September and Oc- tober. Few visitors can appreciate more the radical changes to be noticed in the capital of Prussia, and a recent letter from Mrs. Hill tells of their supreme - satisfaction in dashing through the central arch of the Bran- denburg gate in a hired taxi. When Dr. Hill departed from Berlin, some time in 1912, to commit such a breach of etiquette as this would have been fatal for a_diplomat and might per- haps have landed a less distinguished sceker after adventure in jail. At least |six_mighty mounted guards were re- | auired to see that none but the imperial lfamily and its personal representatives !drove through the central arch. The absence of the military from _the streets also strikes a new note in Ber- lin and makes the Hills believe they are in another city. Dr, Hill is en- gaged on some udies of sources which mark the beginning of the cele- brated controversy over potash and nitrate, and he and Mrs. Hill may re- main in Europe all winter. Miss Hill, however, has accepted a position to teach French and German in Bryn Mawr, and she will return to this country late in August. Count Laszlo Szechenyi has returned to this side of the world after a vig- orous survey of affairs in Hungary. If anything could mark the changing ideals of old world nobles it would be the demeanor of the count toward the news gatherers and ‘“snap shotters’” he met on the pier. When he came to New York in 1908 to marry Miss Gladys Vanderbilt he invited the aid of the police to protect him from these artists and even threatened violence to a particularly energetic photographer who got near enough to “catch him.” Last week Count Szechenyi stood placidly for several moments while he was committed to the film, and though taciturn in the extreme, he appeared on friendly terms with the fourth estate. The count joined his wife and children at Mrs. ‘Vanderbilt’s home in Newport and the same evening was quite lion- ized at the Casino and along the fas| ionable route leading to Bailey’s Beach. Gossip still hangs about his name as the first envoy which reor- ganized Hungary will send to the United States. ‘The rince of Wales has been spending his annual vacation of a month in his duchy of Cornwall and his gifts represent every phase of existence in that quaint old county. He has been wearing the mantle of goat-skin sacred to the ancient Cor- nish monarchs and he has gone sal- mon fishing with a spear. Gloves of the queerest shape and material are his and his live pets vary from two fine deerhounds to a small brown fox and a magpie of almost preter- natural talents. The prince has his own establishment now in York Gate and he intends to fit up quarters for all the pets. So alert and interested in everything is the young heir of the British throne, that the lacka- daisical manner so long associated with the Briton has been entirely ruled out of fashion. Returning visitors, especially some of the recent polo players, report that a new school of nners has been instituted and that the youth who wants to be popular feign interest in everything Notes of Society Folk.

The blase, fatigued young man will not get very far in social affairs unless he imitates his future king. Mrs. John Jacob Rogers arrived in Washington during the flurry of the first Wilson inauguration and it is typical of her, that in the rush and confusgion of such a time, she calmly went forth househunting and in a few hours found a place on 16th street near M street, which pleased her so well that she and the repre- sentative from Lowell, Mass, have known no other home.” Mrs. Rogers is the official chatelaine of that im- portant section of the House, the committee _on _foreign affairs, the chairman, Mr. Porter, having lost his wife some three years ago. She pre sided in this capacity at the many important functions given during the visits of distinguished visitors prior to the war and mince. Mrs. Rogers stands out pre-eminently for her devoted serv- ice to the soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital and at rehabilitation homes near her home ci Lowell. She works indefatigably "with her hus- band trying to work out some pr tical solution of the problems wh confront the disabled soldiers and which may be remedied in time by wise legislation. Mr. and Mr: are among the younger Congress and had barely five years of matrimony to their credit when {they came to the Capital eight years ago. They still delight in being mis- taken for a honeymoon couple, which very frequently happens.

Women have invaded so many of what used to be deemed purely mas- that the action of Mrs. Joseph Davis, wife of the for- mer master of hounds of the Meadow Brook Hunt Club in Westchester County, New York. in asking to be named on the board of judges at the next horse show. did not become a nine days’ wonder. Mrs. Davis was Miss Mollie Maxwell of Long Island and she has reared thoroughbreds for more than twenty years and has won blue ribbons at nearly every exhibi No doubt Mrs. Davig' victory will lead to many other well-known wom en being @ bench. Mrs. William Hitt, Miss Katherine Elkins, comes mind, since she possesses an all- around knowledge of horses and of rules which govern a show. Mrs. Hitt a fine stock farm in Vir- xinia but has recently been neither riding nor exhibiting. A fine way to awaken lagging enthusiasm would seem to be through an appointment among the judges. Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, wife of the Rhode Island sen- ator, is another prominent woman well versed in_thg ways of horses and of shows. Mrs. Gerry during her girlhood was among the most accom- plished esquestrinnes in Washington, but recently she is seldom seen in the saddle and rarely takes part in the horse shows. It is stated as a_ surprising sort of reciprocity that British collectors of antique or artistic table silver are ransacking this side of the water for specimens from those celebrated sil- versmiths of colonial days, among whom may be mentioned, with su- preme honor, Paul Revere. Ameri- can silver has arrived in popularity with the best which the continent or England can show. For instance, a venerable woman of Baltimore has just realized enough from the sale of a_ teapot made in that city in 1819 by Samuel Kirk to spend a de- lightful summer on the coast of Maine. She is the last of her line and the teapot would no doubt have been sold at auction later on, ‘where- as she has now provided it with a home amo1g the fine specimens be- ing gathered in the Victoria and Al- hert Museum in London. Mrs. Charles Jerome Bonaparte had an exquisite coffee set and tray which she used frequently during her Washington residence. It never failed to call forth ejaculations of praise and it was always classed as something done by those deft French smit f the eighteenth century, or the British of the century before, whereas it was the work of an American firm, Domi- nick & Huff, and was designed by Gilbert L. Crowell. Senator Wads- worth has a large assortment of hand-hammered silver dating before the revolution so valuable that some pieces are placed temporarily in the Metropolitan Museum —a Sugar shaker of heroic size, a cream jug which holds half-gallon, and some dainty trays and bowls. The revival of Greek plays and dances and the distinct trend of cer- tain artistic women like Elizabeth of Belgium and the Duchess of Devon- shire towards Greek lines in their gowns has started a new art venture in the matter of making Greek vases or amphoras for interior and for gar- den decoration. can art students in Paris are spend- ings weeks copying the famous examples to be found in the Louvre and they get generous prices for the work if it be even passable.

Mrs. Hugh Wallace became fascinated with the idea of modeling Greek vases and then painting them, and she and Miss Beecher became quite proficient in the work. They are bringing back some lovely examples as gifts to their friends. The authorities of the botanic gar- ens have for years been trying to establish the vogue of bamboo as a background for ever-blooming flow- ers like sweet nicotine, phlox and vergena. This is what makes the gardens of Portland, Oregon, so glor- ious, the tender changing green of the slender shoots which bring out the vivid colors of the flowers. Hith- erto their efforts have not been suc- cessful, though there is a modest example of its possibilities to be ob- served in the propagating gardens below the Department of Agriculture, Wwhich is attractive enough to convert any one. One effect is to scatter some iris in with the reeds, the tall Japa nese variety preferably, and if pos- sible the deep purple with fringes of white. The Japanese have discov- ered the secret of having ever- blooming iris, and to possess a nook of bamboo in a shady part of the garden into which many roots of white and purple Japanese iris have been planted is to be sure of a de- light all through the hot days of July and August.
