In Senator and Mrs. Phipps, the hospitals of Washington may always ¢xpect generous and sympathetic friends and thelr gift to the sorely pressed institution which is @ me- morial to the second President of the United States to be shot down by an gssassin's bullet, Is in comformity with their reputation wherever their fent is spread. One large and finely equipped hospital in their home city Denver, is their benefaction and sus falned to a large degree by their contributions, while they are on the Vboard of directors of many other Mospitals and sanitariums, and al- ways respond to their calls. This Phipps Hospital of Denver for tuber- Qular patients, is a memorial which the senator has built to his mother, the late Agnes McCall Phipps, who vdied in Colorado of that disease, in the ecarly eighties. The senator's father, Rev. William Henry Phipps, dame 'to_Pittsburgh from Scotland oor in this world's goods. and seek- ng only a more temperate climate for his fragile wife. He prospered in the Smoky city. Mrs. Phipps, the oldest, did not grow stronger, and it was for her benefit that the family removed to Denver. But this was when her son, Senator Phipps, had olimbed the ladder of fortune. and was among the brightest and most promising of the young men employ- sed by Carnegie. He has lived in Colorado since 1801. He has a large six children, of whom the eld- wrence C., Jr., is frequent- n Washington. the daughters, Mrs. William White, Mrs. Donald C.

New York, which seems to have a knack of organizing and making the most of philanthropic impulses, permits the artsits to sign their names to the sketches and aftor time these are to be blotted out and nother set of artists is to be glven leave to make a picture on the same 1t would be an excellent idea cal artists to imitate this. or, lacking the time, to provide some of the paper ‘or the nursery walls which feature Mother Goose or the Gritam's Fairy Tales. In this particular in- stance the National Capital, which is the fountainhead of philanthropy und forward movements in art, is lagging behind the times. . Miss Kathleen Emmett, daughter of the late Thomas Addis Emmett of New York, whose engagement t> the Earl of Lienbigh has just been an- nounced, is of the studious, serlous type and for years was an invaluable aid to her father in his historical and antiquarian researches. Dr. Emmett left an ample fortune of almost $2,000,000, and his gifts to libraries and to the scientific equip- ment of various American seats of learning make his name famillar in every part of the country. The Earl of Denbigh, born in 1857, is the ninth of his line, and has been a widower since 1919, his late wife being Lady Mary Cecliia Clifford, daughter of the Earl of Chudleigh, and he has one of the largest families in the peerage, three sons and seven daughters.

The earl is at present the P. for Rugby, and his country seat, Newnham Pad- dock, at Rugby, is an anclent strong- hold,’ dating back to the War of the Roses. Miss Emmet has been living in London for the past two years, and maintains a quiet home near Hyde Park Gate. When some Washingtonians who knew Lady Florence Spring-Rice read the other day of the prowess of an Alpine skater bearing the same name they were, of course, astonished, for nothing more contrary to what they knew of the late British ambassador’s wife could be imagined. The skater who can turn double knots on the ice and spin down the snow at a dizzy rate of speed is the wife of Gen.

There are iron cundle sconces and old glasa lamps properly electri- fled and in use every evening as they were when the great-great-grand- mother of the late President Roose- velt and his sister, Mrs. Robinson, dipped the candles and rendered the sperm oil. The wall is covered in panels of native piné and maple and the furniture and general accessories are all of the same wood. The win- dows are shaded with fine linen dipped in old rose coloring and th shades of the candles and lamps, th: only concession to modern usage, are of old rose silk brocade made from some of Grandma Roosevelt's best gowns. Mrs. Enid Hunt Slater, for many years a resident of Washington, has recently decided to sell some portions of her extensive estate on the ocean front of Palm Beach, now- that the mansions and cottages are rapldly overtaking her former isolated posi- tlon north of the town proper. The esteemed artist, Willlam H. Hunt, bought this Florida land years ag: but his daughter and chief helress.
