Thomas -Jefferson, its most distinguished alumnus, always held that it was the same {nstitution founded by the Virginia Company in 1621, and the evolution of the school actually established in 1635 by Ben- ! ! jamin Symes, by all odds the oidest in the thirteen colonies. But its charter dates only from 1693, and the exist- ence of colonies is counted from the day upon which this instrument is slgned. However, whether it be older or slightly younger than Harvard, the President felt .he was treading on holy ground when he entered the solemn campus. Four Presidents graduated from this mellow old__college—Jefferson, Monroe, William Henry Harrison and John Tyler—and almost cvery Vir- ginian, including George Washington, who figured worthily in revolutionary annals studled at least briefly within its halls. Chief Justice Marshall was one of the graduates and left some interesting memorials of his long ju- dicial reign to its legal department. Edmund Randolph was another great colonial who made all his studies at William and Mary, and the great Winfleld Scott, whose sword, un- sheathed in the palace of Montezuma, lies in the college museum. Then the library is so fascinating and so filled with intimate memories of the heroes of '76 that in more leisurely days the President intends to take Mrs. Hard- ing_there to pass some quiet hours reading. Washington folks are keenly alive to the possibilities so clebrly fare- shadowed from London and Parls, about the enormously rich mahara- juhs in their marvelous flowing robes d mauve turbans who' are coming ohservers during the November conferences and who will bring reti- nues of servants und all the furnish- ings for their hotel suites.

Thia distinguished trio ralses the prestige of the organi- zation perceptibly and its invitations are highly prized and invariably ac- cepted. Mrs. Lenroot and her coun= cilors have not yet decided in what way they will ~participate in the amenities for the delegates to -the coming conference, but they will play an important role and their weekly reception day and their: usual.con- certs will be planned to include all of the strangera within the gates. Representative Benjamin L. Fahr child of New York, one of the promi- nent bachelor members of the House, is another product of the public schools of Washington -and - studied both at the Central and at the East- {ern High Schools before matriculat- ling in Columbia College, now - the George Washington University.

She is cspecially popular in the_younger set, and her mansion In Grosvenor Place is one of the places where the juveniles of the exalted circle are to be found all through the season. Among recent guests were the Duke of Sutherland and his duchess, who has engaged the aid of the popular young American peeress in a dress reform about to be launched. The duke's estates ad- join those of the Maidstones, and the duchess has always been a cordial friend of the young American. The idea is to revive the historic gar- ments of ‘England, and the duchess habitually wears = costumes copied from portraits of her ancestresses.

Introduced the vogue of the African marigold and of the vivid red button dahlla, and their zeal was rewarded by. getting first prizes on both exhib- its “during the recent horticultural show. The murigolds were brought from Algiers by Mr. Goelet, who had bgen impressed by thelr decorative possibilities massed ¢n the ramparts of the walled city.

Mrs. George Vanderbilt had some enormous squash to offer and some exceedingly large, sound and well-shaped sweet and white potatoes. Jay Gould second has carried the fame of his name Into England, but along entirely different lines, namely, that, according to the expert Brit opinion, he is tae greatest living ten- nis champion, barring none, not even professionals. Mr. Gould has walked away with the honors against the he- roes of the court, and with an ease and grace which have turned the vanquished into his enthusiastic ad- mirers. One of the signal proofs of this is that he has been invited to pit his. skill against some court fa- vorites on the historic green at Hampton Court, the king having sug- gested this compliment, and a'so his desire to be present, if. this can be arranged. Tennls may be said have been born to royal favor Hampton Court, for as far back as 1530 Henry VIII played there and un invitation to join was une of the priv- lleges eagerly sought.

He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Gould and, with his wife, is devoted to sports aquatic as well as tennis and basket ball. to at While many out-of-town journals and some forelgn shects hint of plots and counter plots on the part of the resident sct of Washington to capture the mighty ones who are coming to the November conference, nothing of this {s known here, and the ofiicfal world, with the cordial co-operation of the winter colony, Is methodically dividing the obligations and honors among them.

Certain courtesies will be dispensed by the President and Mrs. Harding, by the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes, and then the am- bassadors will take a hand.

SOCIETY: WELLS FULLER, “Whose murriage to Emnsign Brian Kane, U. S. N., took place Saturday, October 12 of the legislative circle and among distinguished resident people who have had previous assoclation with these international guests. But the conference will not be a social orgy. Far from it, since nearly every gov- ernment to be represcnted has gently suggested through proper diplomatic channels that recognizing the hospit- able spirit of the American people, the gravity of the subjects under dis- cussion makes it imperative to cline in advance all Invitations w' h would even slightly interfere with the routine which the American Sec- retary of State has arranged. Seemingly the will of the lamented Senator Knox suggests that Mrs. Knox will not continue to occupy the imposing yellow mansion which has been her home for more than twenty years. It is, of course, quite too roomy for one person and the asso- clations for the present at least would be painful.
