% SOCIETY. Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Many' New Entertainment Features Give Pre- War Appeal to Practice of Making Calls—Ori- ental Hospitality Soon to Be Revived. Making calls in Washington {s, this winter, assuming the cosmopolitan aspect which marked Its drawing rooms In the pre-war days, but with many delightful new adjuncts. Orlen- tal hospitality, lacking for many months, will soon be inaugurated by Mme. Hanlhara, wife of the Japanese i ambassador, who is the latest arrival | in the corps. But the Persian min- ister, always a gracious host. has been siving a few afternoon levees and scme very important dinings. But there is no chatelaine to his home 4nd no women of his country at pres- ent in Washington, so that he fails to tract the general social contingent which goes calling. At the Polish legation, open for the first time last Friday 'under the present hostes Mme. Wroblewska, a delightful alr of hospitality greeted the visitors and the beautiful mansion was ablaze with lights, and handsome Polish drapings of deep reds and yellows added to the richness of drawing room and dining 11.

It was possible to ble at the national cakes and sweet ings, so praised velers, all produced in the kitchen of the lega- tion and so fresh and bounteously provided with ice cream that the most burried caller was tempted to sit at the table and pariake of the dainties in the most leisurely w Many of the Zuests of an older day in Washington reminded of the early years of neefotes, when all offictal so- s not as large as the legisla- ve branch is now.

Spinning wheels whirled merrily, and, the ladies charge, among them Mrs. Frank Green, wife of the present representa. tive from St. Albans and senator clect from Vermont, wore gowns of homespun and _ kerchiefs crossed fichu style and ample lace-frilled caps. Several were patching a quilt of a most intricate pattern. Best of all, every evening there was a supper of ‘the genuine New Ingland kind, prepared from recipes prized for gen erations in a family and which waus patronized mos enthuslastically. eedless to say, the war memorial fund went over the top with rousing echoes.

Orlando Campbell, of portraiture is creating a furore hers and abroad. is a native Wasxh ingtonian in whom the city may take great pride. Mr. Campbell studied here and was working in the class of the Corcoran Art School as late as 1907. Since then he has swept the en tire artistic world in_his zeal to ac complish the best. Even during the bitter days of the war he managed to do his military work in Paris and at the same time to sketch and stud the methods, which he now display in the group of portraits on exhibition in a private gallery of New York city. Xichols of the Metropolitan Gallery of Art is deemed a master stroke and is one of the few which has pleased the v York public.

Heated letters appear, and each cor- respondent takes issue with the pre- vious one, without, howev ing any convincing e would settle the controversy. lgeneral belief is that the village was once the r ort of goldsmiths, and that golders should be gilders. Other protest that once a man named Golder owned the hill, which appears in the London maps of 1500 as Goulder's Hill. Certain histortans of ‘Washington, a city so much younger than London, and therefore more acces: know who the Jenkins owned the hill which is now crowned by the United States Capitol. In every paper written by the august Ipatriot for whom the city is named, whether it be a message to Congress, instructions to the commissioners or engincers., or merely & memorandum {in his diary, Washington names the confines of the federal city as ex- !tending “bevond thé flat, back of Jenkins' Hill" No proprictor named Jenkins ever owned that hill or any land close to it. 1In fact, all this part of the federal district was comprised in Duddington manor and pasture, 1luld W by Notley Young. These two men were the descendants of that Notley |Rozer, one the grandson and the other great-grandson, who received the tract from Thomas Notley, who in 1662 took over a royal patent signed by Cecilius, second Baron of Balti- {mare.

Yet {on the records it is Jenkins' Hill, and was known by that name for at least half a century before Washington's commissioness’ appeared In its vi- cin was that | France, though in the turmoil of the German problem, is not entirely neglecting the lighter side of life, and news of great interest comes from |its sporting circle which appears to iprove that there is something new under the sun. The latest novelty is s called paddock fleld polo and, as i played at Le Touquet, it is making a {furore. Polo with an inflated ball | instead of the hard one opens possi- bilities of the game on any sort of ground, turf, sand or a rutty com- | mons. ' Not one-fourth the space is {required as for the stately game which the Jast Indians made fashion- able centuries ago and which is | played so superbly by the Army men {on “the Mall. Engiand has already taken up the new idea and within the i past two weeks has staged a game on I the hard, narrow space in front of the Hyde Park barracks, with the international expert, T. B. Drybrough, in charge. An admission fee to the spectacle broght a tidy sum to the depleted coffers of the hospital fund and the game was received with such | enthusiasm that paddock field polo will be witnessed in England far I more in the coming open season than the old way familiar now. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, who spent a few days in Washington lately presumably to dip a little into the gayeties planned by Mrs. Dim- ock for her daughter, Miss Barbara, and for Miss Joan Whitney, passed much of her time in the Army museum studying accoutrements for her several military figures now in preparation as war memorfals. The herolc figure which is to be the 4th Division memorial was not mark- edly military in his makeup and the sculptor was mildly criticized in this regard, Mrs. Whitney, though war memorials which take the:form of figures and bas-reliefs are going out of fashion, is engaged on three other statues ordered by variou: parts of the New York soldiery which took part in the world war. “His Last Charge” the pathetic statue of the stricken infantryman, is already in place in Mrs. Whitney's studio and is visited by hundreds of interested people. “In the Trenche almost finished, seems to touch popu- lar fancy more than the other, and there is some discussion about her entirely recasting the negro in “The Colored Soldier,” since his featureb answer to no recognized African type.

Princess Anatasia’s gown was far more decollete. especlally in the back, than New York has accepted |thts ‘winter as correct form. It was of dazzling white satin with slashes of copper red, which positively looked sanguinary, and it was cut across the front with razorlike abruptness, and very low at that, and the back was really almost lacking any tangible existence above the high embroidered belt. From the belt on the left side the skirt appeared in twisted, swirl- ing_billows, caught here and there with big jeweled clasps of rubies and diamonds.

Chief Justice McCoy of the District Supreme Court has under advisement the motion of Andrew W. Mellon, See- retary of the Treasury, and other of- ficials of the government to dismiss the suit brought by Mrs. Harriet A. Frothingham of Boston, Mass., at- tacking the valldity of the Sheppard- Towner _maternity bill. _ Assistant | United States Attorney West asked an early decision from the court in order that the case might be expe- dited to a hearing_before the United States Supreme Court next April, when the case brought there by the state of Massachusetts is scheduled for hearing. The state is also claim- ing the law to be unconstitutional. Counsel for Mrs. Frothingham con tended at the hearing that the law destroys state soverelgnty and ex- ceeds the right of Congress to appro- priate for the public welfare under the Constitution. The officlals claim the public welfare is broad enough to_ include such appropriation pro- vided the states are not compelled to accept the law, but are left free in the matter.
