SOCIETY. Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Incidents of Note and People of Prominence in United States and the Reading Public. Capt. Axc! Wallenberg, the minis- ter from Sweden, has two fads which give him the profoundest pleasure and relaxation. One is amateur pho- tography and he has many books of snapshots taken at his summer home which give a vivid ldea of outdoor life In the environs of Stockholm and which also serve to ease the sense of homesickness which assails him at times. For he can gaze at will upon his beloved flowers and household pets and display them to sympathetic friends. Another joy of the Swedish minister is to collect old furniture. He Is partial to.that produced in his own country and he can show a suffi- cient number of chests, chairs, set- tees and tables done in the finest marquetry to prove that this indug try which Americans always believe 15 of Dutch origin. is also Swedish and carried to a high degree of per- fectton by the peasants. But Capt. Wallenberg is discovering to his dis- | may that the steam-heated houses of this capital are nof the best place to keep these handsome old pieces and he may ship some of them home in the spring. The inlaid wood peels off in the torrid heat which is maintain- ed all through the winter in Wash- ington homes and that heat without any degree of moisture. ‘ Mme. Wallenberg also is partial to ©ld things and in her drawing room may be admired perhgps is th: only genuine sedan chair ever brought to this city. 1t Is painted in a gay pa toral scene with the inevitable gorg- eous cavalier aiding a much bepowd- ¢ to alight, and though now to hold carved fvories and ¥ and silver ornaments, a hundred years ago this chair was used by the grandmother of Mme. Wallenberg in her journeys through the very muddy streets of Upsala. gold Mrs. Harding, who certainly did not spend her vacation time buying or planning gowns, is now busy in that delightful pursuit against the rush of warm weather and the semi-offi- cial gayety which may ensue on her return to health and energy Miss Harding who was in Wash- fngton for some days has evidently looked about for new and most fash- fonable rainment. She has a gown of dark blue rep, a two-piece affalr with. a plain long skirt and a lengthy coatee. which is trimmed with the smartest outstanding pock- ets, on the tail of the coat and along the front of the waist, which are ar- ranged in tiers of three, cut like an oval moon sliced in twe and_ lined with pale blue satin. Mrs. Votaw | has, what is called in Paris, krepe panelle in three or four shades of that servicegble brown hue and her gown also of the two-piece variety and has folds in tiers along the belt and wrists and making a jacket ef- fect in three light shades of brown on the long loose coat. Both ladies have soft toques of brocade and straw to match their gowns and a choker of caracul fur, for, so far is absent and winter 1d8 make spring suits look shivery without fur accessories Mr. and Mrs. Louls Lombard are back from ‘a prolonged sojourn at their sumptous chateau de Trevano on Lake Lugano and here among those who entertained very pleasant- Iy for Mrs. Heber Votaw and Miss recently were Mr. and Mrs. Lombard, who & several vears in Washington ?.d were prominent in the gayeties bt the first Wilson administration, purchased Chateau de Trevano from the enormously rich Russian, Baron von Der Walss, and have completely restored its handsome theater and ! ball room. At the luncheon which was given for Mrs. Votaw and Miss Harding, Mr. Lombard read some se- oo some signal events staged in Lugano, especially that at which M. Gounod, guest of Baron von der Welss, asked all the chateau col- ony on Lugano and the neighboring lukes, both Itallan and Swiss, to hear an initial production of Faust before it was formally presented to the pub- lic at Milan. Mrs. Lombard, who is among the important members of the circle” in the c(elightful reglon in hich her husband has chosen & permanent home was Miss Maude Allen, daughter of former Rep- resentative Thomas Allen. She has several kinswomen near Lugano who married into the Italian nobility, especially the Duchess Lante delia Rovere, who is her cousin and was Miss Harriet Allen of St. Louis. Lombards are only flitting The | through in June. Dr. Henry Hyvernat, the distin. guished Levptologist associated with the Catholic University + the French Academy of Sclence, sailed during the week and will spend the spring and summer in Paris and Rome.

The garden plot Is directly under the filrst ald room, by which the Woman's Na- tional Party commemorates this ben- efactor of the human race, and it is planned to have the sun_parlour, which opens from the chamber prop- er, covered with the Van Vleet climb- ing roses, the silver moon, the day- break and American pillar with that oldest and most cherished of roses. the Mary Washington, which was bred by George Washington at Mount Vernon. It was from the parent stem that this rose for the Clara Barton garden was obtained. Some others of great celebrity have been added by Dr. Robert Pyle, president of the National American Rose Soctety. | These include all' the celebrated red | roses, for the Bartons were of sturdy Lancastrian stock and the red rose was their emblem.

It will be an offering from his former nelghbors on East 22d istreet, who have defied changing fashfons and still live in that old fashioned downtown thoroughfare. These old friends had a very warm regard indeed for the bridegroom- elect, for at the age of ten he was sergeant of the bugle corps of the Knickerbocker Greys and performed his exercises in the open street and in the early dawn. He was often pelted with boots and shoes and | pleces of crockery, but he took all in good part and when he learned to play his difficult instrument he fore- gathered his colleagues and gave East 224 street a Fourth of July morning concert which was long re- membered.

The model for North America found in«New York city, ofes- sional dancer, who filled the rof® with South America proved more difficult to portray, but finally a jury of awards ted Mme. Wilde, wife of the minister from Colombla. Like Mme. Nano. she had created a furore in official soclety by her perfect face and figure and by her vim and grace in dancing. Mme. Wilde posed for the statue draped after the manner of the aborginal Indian, and nothing at this exposi- tion was more admired. A minister M. Alvarez Calderon, served in Washington in the opening years of the present century, and his fair daughter Rosita, afterwards took. Paris by storm by her beauty and phenomenal dancing. She con- tracted a brilliant marriage in France with a member of the old noblesse, but she died in the hey-day of her youth and popularity. \ The Hon. Archibald Lindsay some twenty-five years ago married Miss Mary Tucker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Willlam A. Tucker of Park avenue, New York, and shortly after took out his papers as a son ot Ungcle Sam and established himself as a lawyer at Manchester-by-the-Sea, that oidest and mostly stately of the villages about the north shore of Massachusettas bay. When, within tho.past year, Mr. Lindsay's father, the Earl of Lindsay, died, he became by the inexorable iwws which bind the British peerage, Viscount Gar- nock and heir apparent to the earl- dom, which ls among the most an- fent and honorable in Scotland and founded in 1533. But the Hon. Archibald is past middle life and en- tirely settled in habits, and he could not-endure the thought of pulling up roots and making a ngw home. - Be- wides, his fortune i3 mocdeat and his wife, though in comfcrtable circum- stances, could not rav the special taxes levied against forelgn income: and the usual inheritance tuxes without hardship. So by her advice the title and honors have passed to the oldest son, who was quite well known in North Shore circles as Wil- liam Tucker Lindsaay, usually called Tuck. This young man 88 Viscoudt Garnock is making his first home since coming Into possession of the new honors and s at present with his grandparents in New York, mot finding the paternal home on the north shore gay enough at this sea- son.
