That the political sit- uation is so acute and keeps the en- tire political world at the French cap- ital s one explanation. The Hugh Wallaces, who were among the fre- quent entertainers during the races, are still in their apartment and will remain continuously until November. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Belmont have been in Paris since May and their depar- ture is uncertain. The John R. Drex- els and the Harry Lehrs linger. though both families have charming jvillas in the Pyrenees. Mr. and Mrs. George Juy Gould, who have been honeymooniug at Aix-les-Bains, are iback in Paris and were recently joined {in their Bois de Boulogne mansion by Lord and Lady Decies and their group of children, and this past week by Mr. and Mrs. Jay Gould ew Y Mr. Otto C. Kahn and Miss Maude Kahn have taken a place ine up near St. Germain and Capt. and Mrs. Marriott and their in- fant daughter will be their guests un- til September. Mr. and Mrs. Laurence V. Benet. the latter formerly Miss {Margaret Cox of this city, remain in town and are conspicuous in the so- cial realm. But weather in Paris, like in the rest of the world, has been cold and damp. and. though many out- gside parties have been spoiled, it al- ways has been possible to be comfort- able in the house. Washington was profoundly inter- ested in the wedding in Paris a few Weekes 4go of Mrs. Peter Cooper Hew- itt of New York and Baron Robert d'Erlanger, the great-grandson of Slidell of Confederate fame and grand- <on of the vivacious belle of the early sixties. Miss Mathilde Slidell, his elder daughter. Mathilde {s accred- {fted with having attacked the re doubtable Admiral Farragut with her fists as reprisal for the occurrences off Mobile bay. But her principal claim is that she won the friendship and patronage of the lovely young Eu- Benle, empress of the French, and through her became one of the most powerful soclal leaders in Paris. An Sged woman, Mathilde, Dowager Ba- Toness d'Erlanger, still remains an in Ruence not to be flouted by the ambi- tious American who seeks alliance in the Faubourg St. Germain families. The Slidells scorned Lo return to this country after the Lee surrender, though they were not of southern ex- iraction on either side. The father of the senator from Louisiana, of inter- national celebrity, was a native of New York, and his wife. Mathil Perry, was 4 niece of the great ad- miral, Mrs. Hewltt. (he widow of the Well known New York clubman, has Tesided in the French capital for some time. The marriage was quietly sol- i emnized, in the Madeleine and was Witnessed by @ few relatives and Iriends. The young Count de St. Ro- andson of Rosita Siidell. and Listers were the only attendants. Baron a'Erlanger. after passing a few eeks in Normandy, will bring his beide home to a venerable mansion in the old quarter, where he has been | established for some time. With crowded New York devising garden apartments and making strin- gent rules about the frontage of houses B tich must shelter many families. it Would seem incredible that no such step has been taken by Congress half of its neglected step-child, District of Columbia. With the outery about weeds in vacant lots. and th Yast number of such in the very heart of the city, it appears high time that Gome practical legislation should be passed about covering an entire resi- Bence square with brick and mortar and Jeaving not an inch for grass or flowers. Jackson Helghts, New York, can show one of the loveliest garden apartment quarters in this country and might erve as an example for municipal a tion. Between ten houses of five stories there 18 an ample lawn with a mass of cannas and scarlet sage as a central attraction and along the division hedges are petunias, asters, sweet alyssum and painted daisies, with some excellently Thosen flowering shrubs like eno i balls, hydrangaes and mock orange. As {accurately as the floor space is laid off {into apartments so are these plof {loted fo_each family and besides this, {2t the back is a place where a few I green vegetables mav be raised—toma- focs, lottuce, radishes, onions, parsley |and carrots. If anything could human- | ze apartment life It is this sort of ex- periment, and it is proving a_tremen- ! dous success in Jackson Heights. If the District of Columbia Commissioners would take a hand in such a crusade as this, one problem would be solved, 2n _economic one, and one which would 2dd 75 per cent to the beauty of the Gity and the happiness of its inhabi- tants.

Pershing, who was Maj. | Belmont's guest at the last day of the jshow. is much impressed and the var- fous posts about Washington may organize a similar exhibition next spring. Friends and admirers of the New York legion were numerously rep- resented. Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt sent his entire string of horses, and his i daughter-in-law, young Mrs. Corneliu: | Vanderbitt, tried out ‘many for th spectators. Col. Robert Guggenheim had some fine hacks and so, too, did Mrs. E. C. Ochs. Polo ponies were scantily shown and this, in the opinion of Gen. Persh- ing, would make a leglon show accept- {able in Washington. From the mearby Army posts, polo ponies may be ob- tained by the score and can be ethibited in the game of polo on the Mall, a feature which would be & heavy draw- ing card. The legion has so many calls for funds that this annual horse show offers revenue of untold proportion, be- { sides its excellent effect ih focusing the interest of adjacent posts in one big effort for#he cause. Gen. Pershing's chief interest in horses now is in get- ting good mounts for the polo players, and such a show with generous prizes attached would accomplish this in shorter time, . ‘With the passing of Ajton Farm, 50 long & social center under the late Crosby S.

Noyes con- tained many brilliant chapters, not- ably the wedding of his daughter Myra to the late George W. Boyd, when Washington was given a rare treat in the beautiful and unusual floral arrangement. With the plat- Ung of Alton Farm, no doubt many others of these ates will go- the way of the famous Calvert home- stead, Riverdale, on which the Mary- land town is built, and of Dudding- ton and Warburton, which have been swallowed up by the city. With the Undersecretary of State and Mrs. Willlam Phillips at Beau- voir and: the Robert Woods Blisses at Twin Oaks, and the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes in the coun- try for a good half the year, the British idea of a retreat from the turmoil of the city seems estab- lished. 1f Mrs. Hughes could follow her preferences, she would remain At Grey Stone until after Christmas, but it Is a “goodish stretch,” as the Britons say for the hurried caller, and is eniirely inaccessible for the social routine. Phillips has young children and her visitors will take the time to reach her. since her days at home will be sclected cach month and announced in ample time. While at The Hague, she and Mr. Phillips passed. nearly all their days in a lovely old villa about ten miles from The Hague and on the beach of the North sea. Washington is spreading rapidly all over the nearby suburbs. yet within two generations. when John Sherman, Sccrctary of the Trexsury, announced to his wife that he had bought two lots on Franklin Square. Mrs. Sherman entered vigor- ous objections to going o far into the country. When the late Senator Stew- art built his castle on what is now Dupont Circle, his family was much aggrieved at being placed so faraway from the =ocial center. Two young girls on whom inter- }national interest centers are the Lady Rachel and Lady Anne Caven- dish, the fourth and fifth of the handsome daughters of the Duke of Devonshire, and who are quite well known in Washington because of their several visits to their relative, dy Spring-Rice. For. says rumo so often repeated in London. ther must be some foundations, Lady Ra- chel is_destined to be the bride of of the Prince of Wales, while her clever young sister Anna, a sub-deb, long ago stole the heart of the Duke of York. Londoners, who first hinted of the love match between Princess Mary and the Viscount Lascelles, who likewise is a cousin of the pretty Cavendish maids, say that should this come to pass, it will all be the work of Cupid and not of the prime m ter. The elder daughters of the duke howed great independs e in cho ing their mates and all three married commoners who had made gal t records in the Army. Lady Maude Loulsa. whose marriage to Capt.

The Duchess of Devonshire is the daughter of the Marquis of Lans- down and was a close friend of Prin- cess May of Teck in her early vears, and before her marriage was ar- ranged with the Duke of Clarence, elder brother of the present king. Mrs. Willlam K. Vandervilt, for- irginia Fair. has given the spiral stairway, leads from the English basement of her residence in Sutton place, New York city, which is not usually ob- tained by interior decorators. In a large-sized niche on the turn of the stalrs, in the cool, showery days of opening spring and late autumn, will stand a dainty, little bisque maid from Japan, holding_her umbrella in bewitching angle. When the snow flies, & little Esquimaux maid ia in the place of honor, and should Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughters linger in New York when the heat of sum- mer begins, a lovely Greek statue adorns the niché, and this rotation of the seasons-is marked also in the vari-colored drapings and rugs in the corridor ‘and -on thé &teps. The most careful homekeeper rarely accen- tuates more than two seasons in the household equipment. summer and winter, and thd4se little touches to indicate spring and autumn are most alluring. One notable change which has grad- ually enveloped social life at the American capital is that so rushing is the pace, and so vital the present interests, former . public servants, Mike ambassadors or: other diplomats or cabinet officlals, no longer find it the congenial home of other days. If they desire to remain in_active life, it offers the ideal spot. But for the an who has done with affairs and who wishes days filled with quiet pleasure, the Washington of the '90s or of the first decade of the twentieth century is no more. Of the extensive circle of former ambassadors. omly one, Dr. David Jayne Hill, permanently and he had acqui habit during hls vears as first assist- ant secretary of state. Only those for- mer cabinet ‘officlals or senators who are practiciug law or attending to other busine: matters make Wash- ington their home. Mr. Hugh Wallace, retiring from the post at Paris and almost a Washingtonian through his prolonged " residence here. came last MRS. CARLETON WILLIAMS SISSON, Aaride of July 29, was formerly Miss Madeline Speer. fled. Mr, Frederick Stimson, a ripe scholar and historian returning from Buenos Alires, tried out the capital of his native land and then re-opened his home in Boston. he list could be prolonged, but with no plausible explanation except that the official world is now to very large that for- mer public servants are rarely ex- tended any courtesy at all. Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh was the last im. portant hostess to attempt & con- tinued residence and her experience was not of the happiest. All of which makes apparent that in no capital of the civilized world are the rules per- taining to social intercourse on 8o in- secure a foundation. and the entire fabric needs to be built up from the ! grouna. [ Washingtonigns now_ in Eu- ho enjoyed meeting Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Blunt, the latter formerly Countess Camilla Peccl, grandniece of Leo XIII. have been attending the brilliant receptions in that well known rendezvous of Americans in France, the Hotel de Ligne, in Rue Babylone. This fine old mansion was built in the days of Henry of Navarre for the historic house of Amblise, which then held the title de Ligne, but some years ago it was purchased by the Countess Madellene de Bryas, who is the granddaughter, four times removed. of the signer of the articles of Constitution, George Clymer of Philadelphia. Mr. Cecil Blunt, who s British consul general, has recently become the owner of the old house and he and his wife are busy with its modernizing and to some extent its remodeling. Countess de Eryas, who is one of the leaders of the feministic movements in Frunce, has now entered on a lecturing career and renounced vanity fair for the nonce. Mrs. Blunt who prefers the simple English wa: of address to t of Countess de Peccl, which she could claim. has been haying some film exhibits of her gar- den, a ime introduced in Paris thi summer and which is proving very popular. She diplays travelogues entirely, with a preference to beauti- ful gardens and country seats in her own native land of Ttaly. Though the voung King of Bulgari hesitates to take %0 radical a step to appoint Mile. Nadejda Stancioff to a post on the staff of the legation ac- credited to Washington, he interpos: no obstacle to her coming to Wash- ington ar an observer and a visitor of quasi-diplomatic_rank. From cer- tain seemingly authentic sources in Sofla it is stated that the versatile young woman will arrive in Wash- ington in November, and will spend a few months here and in the large commercial cities. Mlle. Stancioff is half French and is the,granddaughter of a well known statesman of the last generation, Count Grenaud de St. Christophe of Sav and a power in the stormy days when Victor Eman- uel of Savoy, later King of United Italy, and Napoleon III were ready to fly at each other's throats. There is np question whatever that thbugh the Bulgarian ministry thinks high! of the services of the present envoy, Prince Bibezco. the indiscreet utte: ances of his wife and of his wife's mother, Mrs. Herbert Asquith, have created a painful impression in this country and have lessened his useful- nesa here. It in frankly stated tnat the opposition to the appointment of Miss Stancioff comes from the ad- herents of the Bibescos. and the struggle is reaching London, where the father of the would-be secretary of the Bulgarian legation in Wash- ington fis a tremendous political power and Bulgarian minister. Nat- urally all this controversy but whets the curiosity of the American public to see this young woman who hae already climbed the heights of states- craft and diplomacy. As secretary for the Bulgarian delegate to Genoa she is said to have reached sounder con- cluslons about that ill-fated confer- ence than many in loftier places.
