Another fine old mansion of histor- fcal interest became the property of the United States recently when the Naval Academy at Annapolis pur- chased Gambrill Manor, the seat of the Hammond family since the late seventeenth century. The corner stone on the manor bears the date of 1700, but it is the second house which the Hammonds built on their ancestral tract, which now lies just outside the capital of Maryland. The naval - authoritics purchased the estate for farm land for the Academ but the mansion and the cemet where six generations of Hammonds sleep will remain untroubled.

Word comes from wondering Amer- icans that for the first time since the 3 devastating war old Karlsbad has re- turned to its former glory and it is | crowded to the last inch with Amer- | cans (North and South), English and French, and, the hotels and pensions filled to overflowing, the farmhouses {n the suburbs have been dragged into service, to the great profit of | their owners. Some glory pertains to Karlsbad this summer never known before—a fine race course, for in- stance, where the invalid seeking quiet and seclusion for shattered nerves may behold the reckless rid- | ing of every sort of gypsy and dweller in the nearby mountains. Under the old regime of the monks the Bohemian resort was conducted on lines as severe as those which prevail in the cloister, if the visitor came to drink the waters and to take the cure. There are still the old hotels and kursaals for those intent only on pleasure and who visit the spa but seldom. Karlsbad, as usual, attracts royalty in large numbers. though this season it is the variety before which is written “ex.” The former king of Saxony and his chil- dren spent several weeks in Karlsbad in early May, and there are several members of the Bavarian ruling dynasty in_former days. Former King Manuel of Portugal and his wife have been among recent visitors! Miss Florence F.
