Miss Joan Whitney, who resembles her mother, the former Miss Helen Hay, daughter of Col. John Hay, the eminent diplomat and author, in an almost startling manner, inclines, as she should, toward letters and the more serious aspects of life. She will join Miss Barbara Whitney for a brief time in Rome and then, if her plans mature as she wishes, she will enter the Sorbonne in Paris to take a course in French literature and let- ters, and will not enter New York so- clety at all this winter. Mr. and Mrs. Payne Whitney had an establishment at Prides Crossing last summer and were prominent among the notable entertainers of the North Shore. They are now in their big place in South- ampton. Mrs. Grafton Minot has matricu- lated in a local school of political economy and civil government, with all the allied themes which make for a better understanding of the duties of citizenship. Her new home is already an established center for po- litical ‘society and it is the question Wwhether the brilliant granddaughter of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge In- tends to carry on the Cabot-Lodge tradition in the public service of Massachusetts. Mrs, Minot two years ago took a long and arduous course in public speaking and her addresses before the voters of the Bay state have been respectfully received. She appears to be the only member of hen family who inclines to a political career and to be making ready to adjust the mantle of her grandfather over her own graceful shoulders. Mrs. Minog 1S a busy hostess in the social sense and gives dinners and luncheons to the politically mighty frequently and with eminent success. She Is rarely absent from either Sen- ate or House gallery when a notable speech has been announced and, per- haps with the sole exception of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, she reads the Congressional Record more regularly and with more consuming Interest t ¢ woman in Washington. It is always on her library table and with every indication of having been {well read and marked. Mrs. Minot has a long political pedigree. five generations of her family having served Massachusetts in the legisla- tive way or in some manner | ¢ Vhen the versatile British author, H. G. Wells, started his literary col- ony at Torquay, in Essex, he did not anticipate the brisk competition which would develop in Bucks. Gilbert K. Chesterton set the fashion by erect- ing what he calls a perfect para- doxical home at Beaconsfield, in Bucks, and Miss Rose Macauley in- stantly followed him and built a unique East Indian bungalow. Lord Burnham is the last recruit, that mil- lionaire proprietor of the Daily Tele- graph, who intends to play Prince Bountiful to the litcrary section and to afford ma opportunities for pleasure after the grind of the day. The lure to Bucks is frankly the film industry, which has increased so rapidly in that section, due to the use of artificial lighting in the studlos and areas on the many dark days which England suffers in summer as well as winter. Mr. Chesterton. who s the master {of paradoxical writing. thinks that the twists and turns of the playver folks will afford a new and fert field for his vein. and Miss Macauley {15 to found her next novel on & screen istar. Mr. J. L. Garvin, a popular British wit, has joined the Bucks col- ony and for the nonce the literary center founded at Torquay with such a flourish of trumpets has lost its vogue. 1 The American contingent of literary {lights domiciled permanently for the {winter in England wavers between 1the two attractive resorts, and every i effort is made to lure the ambassador, | Mr. George Harvey, into a visit, no imatter how brief, by way of settling | the contention. { London's indoor season has begun jand the city residences and hotels are. rapidly filling with denizens of estates during the hunting season. ‘Accordlng to the consular report nearly 10,000 Americans will be per- { manent residents of Britain for the next two years and about that same {number is now in that country pre- paring to sail for home.

All Halloween and to farewell {courtesies to those about to depart. Maj. Cushman Rice of this city was among the hosts at the Roosevelt Me- i morial day and he staged his affair in i the American Club. Lady Lee of Fare- iham entertained the members of the 1Sulgrave Institute, who were avail- iable, on October 27, and many Ameri- jcans who were awaiting their steam- jer. Lady Lee also entertained at a juveniie party on All Halloween and !her guests included several hundred young Americans who had been spending the summer abroad. Mr. and :Mrs. August Blagden of Greenwich, j Conn., gave a reception at the Lunch- teon Club on October 27, following ‘a bountiful feast attended by forty | guests. Lady Astor invited all the { American students at the women's olleges in Oxford. Cambridge and the “niversity of London to a big masked ifrolic_in her town house. Col. and l)lrs. E. A.

White Sulphur Springs have been for several generations a gathering Blace for Washingtonians during late October and until after Thanksgiving day. Every nook and corner is crowded at present and with those who became familiar with its beauties during the long residence in the capital. The former ambassador to France and Mrs. Hugh Wallace have jrun down from New York and wil remain until just before Thanksglv- ’ing day. They plan to pass most of the winter in New York. and at Easter | time will return to Paris, where they maintain an apartment off the Boise du Boulogne. Mrs. Edward Stettinius, with her debutante daughter, Miss Betty, are at the southern resort for two weeks and may return in between !h:' numerous engagements of the bud. Mrs. Robert M. Thompson and Miss Hylda Sykes also are at White Sulphur Springs passing the weeks during which Col. Thompson is en- grossed with the Stephen Pells at the Meadow Brook Club in Hempstead. A hostess, who holds court almost every afternoon in the tearoom, is Miss Helen Cannon, who ran away from politics in Danville, 11, and tried in vain to make her father play truant, too. But the father of the House worked over time to elect a republican to fill the seat which he has held 50 long and with such unique success. Miss Cannon became a de- votee to the White Sulphur many years ago, and when she can arrange matters, she goes there at some time during the vear to drink the waters for two weeks and to meet friends, who have the same habit. Miss Sybil Bauer of Chicago for the nonce 18 the heroine of the swim- ming pool, and during the past month has made a new and most sensational record for this country and for the world. She accomplished the 440-yard back-stroke swim at the meet heid at 8t. George's, Bermuda, in six minutes and twenty-four seconds, four sec- onds less than the former champion, Miss-Ethel McGary of New York city achieved. Harold Krueger, the famous swimmer from Honolulu was close behind both the ladies and lost his championship by just eix seconde. Honolulu 18 considered the domain of watermen, and few odds were taken that Krueger would lose to any one, much less to two slim gir's less than twenty years of age. Bermuda is crowded for the autumn athletic per- formances, the first of which is al- ways the aquatic, and all the cham- plons from various municipal swim- ming pools have been entered in the free-for-all competition. ‘Washington, however, sent no rep- resentative, though now that the scores have been announced, it is geen that some of the mermaids, who won local fame last summer, might easily |, have gained international honors and some handsome prizes as well.

E. Francis RIggs, vho recently resigned from the Army, i3 the son of the late E. Francls, son of the banker. George 1gEs, the associate of Willlam W. Corcoran in founding the famous institution which bears the name. But the Riggs family has not been in possession of thc fine old estate knewn as Green Hill Manor or Chillum Castle Manor for more than forty vears and it is the similarity of their name to that of the original proprietors, the Digges family, Which has led to this constant error. The Green Hill estate was part of the great Manor Grant of Warbur- ton, now known as Fort Washington on the Potomac and one of the de- fenses of the capital, which William Digges, son of Sir Edward Digges, royal governor of Virginia, acquired in" 1865. It remained in the Digges family ‘during the intervening cen- turies, until just after the civil war, when the banker, George RIggs, ac- uired it because of a sale to set- tle the Digges estate between many heirs. Green Hill is hallowed for all loyal Washingtonians as the place of retreat of L'Enfant, the founder of the city's marvelous 'design. He lived for olght years as the pensioner on the bounty of William Dudley Digges, whose wife was the daughter of Daniel Carroll of Duddington. Mr. E. Francis Riggs, since resigning from the ‘Army, has made his home in the fine old ‘mansion. It came to him through his grand aunts, the Misses Alice and Janc Riggs, who inherited it from their father. The Red Cross Society of Thila- delphia has secured the celebrated home of Betsy Ross us its head- quarters during the drive which be- gan on Armistice day and which wiil continue throughout the week. Mrs. Oswald Chew is in charge of the revered old home and she has been granted permission to place her desk | in the same room and on the same spot which tradition points out as the place where Betsy Ross sewed together the first American flag. The Betsy Ross house, in Arch street near 3d, is a municipal prop- erty and is as tenderly cared for as the hall where the Continental Con- gress met, or even the Liberty bell, and but rarely has permission been granted to use the building, except as a show place for visitors. The Red Cross unit of Philadelphia wants funds for country enrollment and more than 2,000 of its members will disperse after the week and lecture in the rural parts of the state, hoping to gain recruits. The ladies will use the slgn of the Betsy Ross house in sending out their appeals and will also sell pretty portraits showing the heroine of the national flag at work in the historic room. Associated with Mrs. Mrs. A. S. Weill and Mr. Chew are Sarah J. S, Welsgerber and some twenty others prominent in Philadelphia’s social and philanthropic c Mr. John| Barton Payne is expe during the week. When Gen, Arthur Davis Musgrave was married in London last week to Mrs. Francis Mackworth, widow of a war hero and daughter of the Hon. Arthur Lascelles of Templecombe, Kent, the Important American famil. Brittsh royal bride of celes, for Gen. was Miss Jeanie Field of city, daughter of the late Da ley Field and the niece of the late justice of the Supreme Stephen J. Field. The Lascelles of Templecombe are a cadet branc the same family, of which the Earl of Harewood is the head and into which ' Princess Mary of Britain wvecently married. Gen. Musgrave is also the nephew of Cyrus W. Field, and was so weil thought of by that careful financier ed 1o speak | Musgrave’s mother | ourt. Judge | that he received a substantial legacy from his widow. The Musgraves in- cline to American or half-American wives. Col. Henry Musgrave, brother of the general, a victim of the terrible bombardment ‘of Ypres, married the daughter of Mark Hopkins, who now resides at Pau, France, and whose grandfather was that revered educa- tor, Dr. Mark Hopkins of Willlam College. Gen. Musgrave and Gen. Leonard Wood become thus connected by mar- Tiage into the Field family, and may claim kinship with the royal line of Windsor. Sir Anthony ~Musgrave, father of the bridegroom, was Gov- ernor of British Columbia when he met and_married Miss Jeanie Fleld, He has lately been retived, full of years of honors, after serving for many years in the colonlal service of the British empire, and had been suc- cessively royal Governor of Natal, of Jamaica and of ‘the South African Union. Miss Sylvia Belloc, daughter of the British author, Mr. Hillaire Belloc, has been visiting in New York and Phila- delphia, and will pass through Wash- ington in about a week on her journey to San Francisco. Although she ac- knowledges that she may look about in search of literary material, for she, too, is a contributor to journals and period- icals, Miss Belloc has been lured to the western world by the glowing de- scription of her mother, who was, be- fore her marriage, Miss Feodora Hogan { of Monterey. She had achieved more { than local fame Ly her dainty vignettes |of Callfornia life and was seeking a | new atmosphere in London when she met the gifted journalist and essayist. Mrs. Belloc has never come to her own land since the marriage, although her devotion to it has inspired her daugh- ter to make a pilgrimage to all the places which are held ecspecially dear. Miss Belloc recently has passed her twenty-first birthday anniversary. and she is signalizing her indepen- dence by making the tour of the United States entirely alone. But she has prepared carefully a list of all her mother's friends, personal jand professional. and she is re- | ceiving a cordial welcome from all. In | Monterey many of her mother's rela- tives reside and many more are in San | Francisco, and she proposes to pass an {entive year thereabouts. if her plans {turn out well. Miss Belloc, ‘like her mother, is beginning modestly in the | world of letters, with just little sketches | of everyday happenings.
