C, Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Sir Robert and Lady Borden Closely Linked to Acadia, the Former Premier Having Been Born in Grand Pre. Sir Robert and Lady Borden, who are renewing so many pleasant friend- ships made during their lengthy so- journ here when the world war was in progress, have been among the most active in the social sense, since they represent,® part of Canada not 80 largely represented as other divi- slons of the Dominion. Sir Robert has frequently remarked that his na- tive city always thrills the American, for he was born in Grande Pre, of the Acadian land, now Nova Scotia; and 80 far as fact can be assoclated with poetic fancy, almost on the very spot where Longfellow had placed the home of his ‘heroine, KEvangeline. Like the lovely maid whom the best beloved poet of this country has vivi- fied into a living joy for so many thousands, his eves from earliest in- fancy looked on the scene above which Cape Bromidon rose, and his feet often wandered along the paths made classic by the genius of the Cambridge muse. Lady Borden, though a native of Halifax, is like- wise permeated with the Evangeline legend, and she frequently visited the old village of Grande Pre before and after her marriage. She was Miss Laura Bond, daughter of Mr. Thomas H. Bond of Halifax, and the marriage occurred when the future premier of Canada was in modest circumstances, assoclated with his father and the late Andrew Borden as an attorney. The hospitable home which Sir Rob- ert and Lady Borden maintain at Glensmere, near Ottawa. is well known to scores of Americans who Lave been entertained there. Another great international ce has ended in_the usual sad y. The Countess Vladimir Ledo- chowska, formerly Miss Louise War- field, daughter of the late Governor of Maryland, Edwin Warfield, has just established a domicile in Paris, with a view of bringing divorce proceed- ings against her husband. Count Ledochowski met Miss Warfield dur- ing a tour which she was making in the orient, and the wedding followed an ardent and brief courtship. Gov. ‘Warfleld gave his consent only reluc- tantly, for the reason that he was convinced that an American girl had many more chances of happiness if she wed one of her countrymen than with a foreigner. The marriage did not prove prosperous from the first, since the count belpngs to the old noblesse of Poland and clings most tenaciously to tradition. He iy the nephew of the famous Cardinal Ledo- chowski, who was for so many years, as prefect of the Propaganda Fide, in direct charge of Catholic interests in this country. As the countess is not of her husband's faith, a most stub- born combat will ensue about the guardianship of the two sons, the Ledochowskis making the plea that they must remain with the father in order to be reared Catholics, and the Warflelds fighting that claim. The countess has confided her legal in- tergsts to the firm with which M. Viviani is associated, the most fa- mous jurists at the French capital, and its outcome will be awaited with keen interest. Although known to be a statesman of prime ability, few on this side are aware that the dele- gate to the arms conference sent by France, M. Rene Viviani, is the most celebrated criminal lawyer practic- ing in France today. In the odd moments when some of the minor members of the group of delegates to the conference have a brief time for sightseelng they are accompanied by their ladies, taking "IdVAnlBZE of the opportunity to in- | spect the state rooms of the White House. It must be confessed that Washingtonians are not more im- pressed by the white-turbaned East thesé visitors are by the tall, well-set-up negro footmen who greet all callers at the north en- trance. They are no less amazed at the lack of pomp or ceremonial and the absence of armed guards. All told, mot more than six policemen are ever visible about the White House, and their principal duties are to direct strangers toward whatever goal they geek. Within the mansion all is conduoted as in any well regu- lated private home. Laddie Boy is one of the busieat occupants of the lower floor, and he fs hospitable in the extreme. Several of the Japa-| nese clerks and some of their ladies | received during the warm days | of the past week, and they were en- {thusiastic " over the lovely chrysen- themums in full beauty in the cast garden near the pool. In the rose garden, which lies between, the high box hedges on the west side, there are still dozens of blooms, and Mrs. Hard- ing rarely misses a visit to this charming, secluded spot just before she goes for a morning walk. Laddie Boy, knowing that visitors are not customary in this portion of the grounds, trots sedately beside each party and is seemingly ready to re- sent every sort of encroachment.

French modiste copy a wedding robe painted by an early Flemish master, and her attendants, small boys and girls of the famlly, were also garbed after the same period. The wedding robe was of ivory velvet, made with pointed bodice and laced with silver cords, with a full round Dutch neck heavily encrusted in pearls, and sleeves which could have answered for a train. The vell of lace, yellow with age, was caught by a circlet made of two richly-adorned bracelets clasped by a spray of white myrtle. |So lovely was the scene that the celebrated academician, Sir John La- vary, is using it for the subject of a end of the receiving line at the re- anvas of British cotemporary life. ception tendered recently by Mrs. Harding to the wives and other rela- tives of the members of the House, introduced a new note into this stately scene. She is slight and very youthful, and apparently rather fear- ful of such responsibility. Mrs. Davis, her near neighbor, is exceedingly young-looking, too. Miss Mellon will represent her father's division of the executive board in the social sense only on such formal occasions as those when Mrs. Harding asks the |’ entire group of cabinet hostesses to aid her. Otherwise she will mingle with the younger set, and, since pre- cedence i accepted, she will be the ranking unmarried woman, and will enjoy many privileges in consequence. As cabinet chatelaines under twenty have not been plentiful, Miss Mellon is already well on into a season which promises unusual attractions. She will keep Wednesdays at home, as do other ladies of this set, and will pre- side when her father entertains the President and Mrs. Harding. She has a lengthy program on her own account, and will be one of the busi- est as well as the most sought-for young woman at the Capital.
