Two autographed photos of unusual interest and importance must have crossed each other in midocean last month, since the arrival of one, that of President Harding, is announced from Paris, and the other, from Mar- shal Foch, has reached Portland, Ore. President Harding dispatched Lis -gift to Miss Winifred Holt of New York, who is the head of Le Phare de France, the Joseph H. Choate memorial retreat for blind soldiers, established immedi- ately after the signing of the armistice by admirers of that stalwart American. 1t ts, sad to say, the only endowed in- stitution in Paris, and consequently, during these times of financial stress, it is the only place open for such victims of the world war.

Presldent Harding's cabinet contains several who have been honored in su- preme fashion in the professions they follow. The Secretary of Commerce, for instance, has several times been executive of the American Society ot Englneers. Just now Mr. Hoover is turning his attention to a matter which will make him highly popular it he is even moderately successful. This-is the enormous waste in do- mestic architecture, d he is seek- ing the remedy, which, if found. will be standardized and introduced ev- erywhere. It makes good reading, for Mr. Hoover rarely attacks a prob- lew without excelient and speedy result. Washington feels jubilant that this important subject and the interest it has inspired in the Sec- retary of Commerce has caused him to decline that offer from Mr. Bok in regard to thé Philadelphia sequi- centennial.

American consular officers will be at the dock to greet the ship and hail the passengers and offer the hospitality of the land, which is entirely different from the feeling of a man without a country which possessed the traveling Amer- ican in the old days. Then in the south temperate zone the: voyager leaving here in the piping days of June reaches port in the chill mid- Wwinter with all the life and gayety of the Latin city—opera, fine theatri- cal performances—the levees of the official world. Switzerland and Tyrol offer nothing to compare, if actual experience is sought as well as cool- er and more bracing days.

That Col. Sherrill, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, has emphatically stated that the eques- trian statue of Washington, which adorns the circle of the same name, must be supported and renovated at or it will topple over, inspires | the forlorn hvébz that if this venerable figure, the work of Clark Mills. is taken down, it will be re-erected in the center of the square where it should be, that which faces the White House, and where the foreign heroes who aided Gen. Washington in the revolutionary struggle have already been placed. Why Gen. Jackson should uprear his steed in this park, the only one in the city which the great patriot who founded the capital selected and named, is_one of the unanswered questions. Washington logically should Do there, surrounded by the com- mander_of the French army of al- liance, Rochambeau, and the dashing young officers, Lafayette and Kos- ciuski, who voluntarily joined the colonists, and the stern Von SteuBen, who was sent by Frederick the Great as drill master. Jackson does not be- {long to-the era at all mor to the en- { vironment. Of course, it would cause ia cataclysm to attempt this removal, but nevertheless every student of art or history would rejoice to witness ‘the transfer. The Capital clty has not been particularly fortunate in its well . placed efforts to keep art standards and the fitness of things up to other lines of progress, but to place the statue of Washington in'the center of Lafayette Square is a reform which could well engage every true patriot. That pageant of history. announced for the early days of May calls to mind forcibly that most illustrious American and the oldest living diplomat in the service of the.

He was retired about fifteen years ago and is officlally carried on the State Depart- ment rolls as the honorary counselor and first secretary of the American em- tmssy in Paris, an_unique and unpre- cedented honor. Mr. Vignaud gives luminous details of many episodes in American annals which would serve well for a pageant, and they are fresher taan the usual variety, which has been presented endlessly for the past fifty years. This memorial volume of Mr, Vignaud's ninety-first birthday will soon reach this city, and it is to be hoped it will open new vistas in scanning the story of the past years. threatened an old and historical part of Baker street, London. It must be confessed that the name recalls to the general reader only the location which Conan Doyle selected for Sher- lock Holmes, and Baker street fairly bristles on every page of those blood- curdling detective tales. But Baker street, it seems, had such an amazing- ly interesting history, which concerns s0 many sorts of people-that protests from every quarter stir the civic thoritids, ~Americans in London, and they number some twenty thousand and aro important folks there as well as at home, object to the demolition of the old house, which proclaims in a neat brass tablet that Gen. Tecumseh Sherman resided there, and that it was he who made the famous march through Georgia, in the war between the states, 1861-1865. Church folks object to ‘the razing of the houses which sheltered Cardinal Manning and the eloquent Wilberforce in the days of the great Oxford controverslies. The literary vow vengeance on those who lay rude hands on the shrine wherein Mrs. Montague accomplished for political, social and intellectual London what George Sands had done for Paris. Also there is the home of Lord Lytton of “The Last Days of Pompeli” fame and of Lord Napier, both of whom served at this capitol, Despite all this, the work goes forward of leveling old houses to make room for wider streets and more modern edifices. royal bride will in a few weeks cele- brate her twenty-fifth birthday, she had never been to Paris until she of the tight little island where she was born except on sailing trips with her father when several times the coasts -of Norway and Denmark were touched. For her the bloom was on the rose in the acutest sense, and she will taste the joys of foreign travel under ideal circumstances, for the Viscount Lascelles is a globe trotter, a man of culture and a connoisseur of art and literature. If it were need- ed to convey a lesson to the young people of this country, the rearing of Princess Mary would not be more pertinent and to American parents, too, who begin to indulge every pro- pensity not only in adults, but in the small children. Few of the charming debutantes of this season or any other do not go through the fetes of the winter without an air ‘boredom and of the necessity of following a tiresome routine. Princess Mary, on the contrary, has life all before her when, unhampered by the etiquette surrounding unmarried royalty, she can partake of a brimming cup. Mrs, Richard Wainright is one of the leaders in the various avocations which women have adopted in the widening of their sphere and she is one in whom Washington, where she has resided for many years, takes a pardonable pride. The wife of a hero .n a_war which seems remote now, the Spanish-American, she took over seriously the obligations which at- tach to fame and becoming a repre- sentative woman. She was in the vanguard of those who undertook to improve the condidtions under which the Washington working women and children earned their daily bread, and her quiet dignity and forceful' arguments persuaded the most hardened employer that it would be courting unknown dangers to re- fuse to listen to reason. As the circle of feminine activities widened, Mrs. Wainwright took up other lines and, with the same success which marked her course in the civic league. For so many years & native of the District of Columbia, her concern for suffrage had to be academic, since under the present laws she could not enjoy’ its privileges. But she has been a sympathizer and an active worker in some of the branches where olitics do not overwhelm the usual eminine outlook. The only son of Admiral and Mrs. Wainwright, Rich- ard, jr., married that Miss Alice Blech Who was for a time so acceptable a soclal secretary to Mrs. Taft and the entitled to retirement in every sens since she served so faithfully an unremittingly, is still active in those socleties which look after women during working hours and Wwhich provide for the alling and unem- ployed.

Priscilla, Countess of Annesley, who was the guest of Mrs. Grafton Minot for some time during the season, 18 the widow of tho fifth Earl Hugh Annesley and was his second wife. She is the daughter of the late Willlam Ar- mytage Moore of County Cavan and her marriage occurred in 1892. The sixth earl, Capt. Francis Annesley, who was killed at Lille, was her Step-son, and she had two daughters and no heir nor had the hero aviator, Francis Annesley. The title went to 4 collateral branch and is at present held by the president of the Provin- cial Bank of England, Reginald An- nesley, who served through the war with @ Berkshire regiment. His wife was Miss Maude Fleming Higginson of Sholden, Deal. The widow of the sixth earl, who resides in London and comes to this side occasionally, was Miss Evelyn Hester Mundy, daughter of the Honorable Edward Miller Mundy of Shepley Hall.

Canada is_striking a social pace which, though emulating the activity of its_neighbor, seems to outstride goods weeks recovering lost vitality. 1t Is credibly reported that Lord Byng has declared that life was less stren- uous on Vimy ridge then it has been since he took up the reins of govern- ment at Ottawa. He and Lady Byng have been called hither and hence to open conventions, to preside at meet- ings, to figure at balls and other so- clal functions, and have been com- pelled to pass so much of their time on trains that they are completoly fagged ou ‘Washington was hop- ing for a visit from this distinguish- ed couple along in the spring, but this news is not encouraging. Lady Byng, who is a writer of some note, has felt the exactions of high station and the utter preclusion of the lelsure and quiet necessary for literary achieve- ment. No one would be surprised to taching to _the office. But the Ameri- can President may remain right in Washington, if he chooses, whereas the viceroy must cover the entire Canadian territory whenever it seems expedient. Some amusing stories reach Wash- ington from sprightly women once promiuent in the social world here, but this year trying out the delights of the French Riviera. Mrs. Ray Baker, who has a lovely villa just out of Monte Carlo, has been entertain- ing at dinners and small dances quite frequently, and in the course of time her guests included that imperious lady who is the mother-in-law of the former Crown Prince of Germany and whom rumor says, fills the part in the best traditional method. Immediately after the war and the exile of the royal line from Mecklenburg - Schwerin, she . dropped all reference to that country and now appears only as the Grande Duchesse Anastasie of Russia, for so she was born. She lives modestly at Cannes, for she gets no pension from the German state and her Russian fortune Was long ago squandered. But she is a very haughty lady. nevertheless, and in- sists on all the prerogatives of roy- She was, of course, given the pl: Mrs. Baker's dinner, but, to the utter mazement of her hostess, she sur- veved the chair she was to use and ga: and costly white satin gown, and I am well aware of the possibilities they would like their seats covered, too, and they all assented. So she has every chair in her establishment now covered with fine linen servi- ettes—tidies they were in the olden days—and her guests, especially royal ones—are much more comfortable. ‘Washington is making large plans to have the horse show which opens on May 12 one of the most brilliant events in such history.
