Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life; (© ned from Eleventh Page.) close range something of his Ameri- | cousins. Lord Birkenhead, as 1 pla Mr. Oswald Smith, often visited New Brunswick. where he has private business interests, and sometimes ran down to New York. But this was before the dawn of greatness, and ars before he figured so prominent- v in the cabinet of Mr. Lioyd George. He will be accompanled by Lady Birkenhead and their eldest daughter, Emily, a debutante in whese honor Queen Mary held a special drawing room in May, 1921. As there were no malds to be presented of the rank of the lord high chancellor's daughter, Lady Emily passed into the roval presence all alone, chatted with the queen and her aftendant court for about fifteen minutes and then madé her exit when the regular court ses- s began. Now she takes rank as the daughter of an earl and can command no speclal privileges. During the war and since, the former chancellor has met hundreds of Amer- icans and he has accepted their re- peated invitation, to make them a visit, now that his days are more leisurely. One of the first visits will be to former ambassador and Mrs. John W. Davis at their home, on| Long Island. As a sense of humor is the accepted characteristic of the American race, those thousands who have already reached London on thelr summer travels are not disturbed over the acrimonious controversy in progress over the replica of Houdon's statue of Washington in Richmond, which is now carefully catalogued in the press as “lost.” The attention of Col. Har- vey was called to the matter just before he salled for home, but, natu- rally, he simply smiled and shrugged and said never a word. The replica of Houdon's_immortal work, was The Wyoming Cafe | Main Floor, The Wyoming Apartment, Columbia Road, at California St. For SUNDAY Dinner: New Potatoes. ' Lettuce and Tomato Salad. mour.

To those who either rejoice or. lament —as the case may be—over the sup- posed fact that this is the woman's age, that the male has been entirely super- seded, we commend a study of the fol- lowing figures given out by an eastern soclologist that bear on this debatable subject. Of the thousands upon thousands of sermons preached in this country last Sunday women preached not more than 170. Of the pleas made in all the courts in the United States only one in every 180 is made by a woman. Of all the newspaper' editoridls not more than one in thirty is written by a Woman.

All the hubbub began when, some three or four months ago, some Americans Inquired at the embassy how they could locate it and neither Col. Harvey nor any of his Staft could give the guformation. They sought enlightenment at the London city council and were referred to. the | “bobbles” who guard the spot. But even the capable policemen could not find the statue, and then Gen. Sir T. J. Galloway, who Is-a sort of glori- fied superintendent of public grounds and bulldings and chlef of police rolled into one, and he experienced much dificulty In finally locating the | missing work of art in an obscure corner with a vine almost covering it. Now there Is a fiery popular de- mand that the statue be moved to Westminster or some other suitable spot. What amuses Americans is that a stupendous statue of George 1II towers over tRe surroundings of Heudon's Washington and dwarfs everything about it. This is, of course, in direct violation of the ver- dict which posterity has placed on the relative merits of George Wash- ington and George 111 of Great Brit- ain and a_verdict accepted without cavil by Englishmen as well as the remainder of the world. The American capital has a notable g1oup of statues erected to forelgn heroes. and among these is the one recently presented by the Sulgrave Institute 6f Edmund Burke. London has, however, without counting the “hidden" effigy of the fmmortal Wash- ington, asgthe guide books now an- nounce it,%possibly with a view of spurring on the London council to its speedy removal to Westminster, a spirited copy of Saint Gaudens': Lincoln, which is glven a place of honor In an inclosure which fronts i the main door of the house of com- mons.

The horse show held recently at Doughoregan Manor, or, as it is known historically, Carrollton, ir Howard county, Md. recalls a tra dition which reaches back more than 200 vears. .For the manor exactly as it stands today was built Charles Carroll, the Immigrant of th family, fn 1691 and fine horses wer its principal tremsures even in those remote days, for Carroll was an Irish man with a heredita passion for! horseflesh and much glven to getting New York. | brother up impromptu races.

In- deed, when the venerable signer, Charles Carroll of Carrollton, grand- son of the immigrant, ran the first locomotive out of Baltimore in 1829 the route covered Carroll property for a full third of its course. The present owner of Doughoregan Manor, named for the principal stronghold of the O'Carrolls, chiefs of from which the family de- scends, is Phillp Lee Carroll, son of the late Gov. John Lee Carroll of Maryland, and Is the eighth in de- scent from the first Charles and sixth from the signer. Philip Carroll is the son of the second marriage of Gov. Carroll to Miss Anita Phelps of His elder half-brother, Charles Lee Carroll, died five years ago In Paris, and his son, Charles Baneroft Carroll (his mother being Suzanne Bancroft, granddaughter of the historian), lives abroad with his mother. This Carroll, ninth in de- scent, has relinquished his claim to the historic domain, but he has a son, Charles Hack Carroll, who is a col- lateral heir. The horse show was held in behalf of the Health Asso- clation of Howard County, and the owner's cousin, Mrs. Charles Carroll of Homewood, and Mrs. Edwin War- field, jr. were his hostesses. Many Washington relatives motored to Doughoregan to attend the show and the lawn fete which followed. In re- Rev. Richard Blackburn Washing- tén, who is pastor, recently appotnted, of ‘the diminutive but picturesque Catholic Chapel in Hot Springs, Va., is son of that George Washington who happened to be the last of the line to be born ut Mount Vernon be- fore evil days fell on the great patriot’s people and they were com- pelled to part with their patrimony. The Rev. Richard Blackburn Wash- Ington is under thirty and bears a marked resemblance to the notable men of his line. He is a descendant of John Washington, eldest half- of the commander of the revolutionary forces. His moth: was Miss Serena Porterfleld, of the well known Virginia family. and he is thus a grandson of the Confederate general of that name. Coming from Richmond. Mr. Washington was at one. tin to the Cathedral this mission at the Hot Springs has received his first pastorate. He is kept busy, however, in greeting friends and well wishers attracted by his name and close re- ationship of the patriot of Mount Vernon. Mrs. Thomas Francis Bayard, who has been in Washington for the past ten days, is looking over the school situation. The idea of being sepa- rated from her children except for week end vislts, which are often in- terrupted in the stress and strain of the Washington season, is not ac- ceptable to her.

The junior senator from Delaware and Mrs. Bayard have an interesting family circle, but their youngsters count one less than those of Senator and Mrs. Broussard of Louisiana, The Broussards, however, bought a home and settled down at once, Mrs. Broussard permitting her husband to look after his political interests in Louistana alone while she attends the youngsters here. These two sena- torlal families are among the largest recorded as resident for the coming Sixty-eighth Congress, the conscript fathers now being principally in the grandfather class and with their own children scattered to the four points of the compass. Of the total ninety- six senators, there is an appreciable number of bachelors and childless widowers, 8o that a young family like those of Senator Broussard and Sena- (;)r Bayard makes the shining excep- tion.

Washingtonlans. who have been visiting other cities where statues of the intrepid Maid of Orleans have been erected feel a grievance that the sur- roundings of the one placed on the heights of 16th street present a bare and neglected appearance. New York placed Joan of Arc on a splendid site on _Riverside drive, and at present a glory of Martha Washington and Em- press of China roses clambers over the background of rocks. A careful plant- ing of evérgreens makes the plot at- tractive all through the year and a fringe of drawf azaleas is now adding to the qulet beauty of the spot. Phila- delphia set up the Maid of Orleans in the second year of the world war in a charming angle of the Schuylkill river at the entrance of Fairmount Park. As this cliy is famous even in Europe for ite old and well tended gardens, its rvelous park plantings and the artis tic_perfection which envelops its civic horticulture, the environment of the Joan of Arc statue may well be taken as an exemplar. The statue is in a circle, but a trianglar plot extends north and south from it, and this is thickly planted with the royal flower of the Bourbons, the fleur des lfs, which the gallant mald wore on her armor as she rode in the front ranks of the army which was fighting for the Bour- bon King. Irls, as the lovely flower is more familiarly known now, has under modern cultivation reached a high de- gree of perfection and when different varieties are planted the blooming sea- son may be extended over three months. ~ In the circle are arranged bushes of La France roses and a few of the élimbing kind are about the base of the statue. Boston and its hundreds of small villages adjacent has introduced a series The marriage | of children's markets, held on Satur- of Miss Dorothy Hastings, daughter of | days in the school grounds, where flow- the Honorable Ormond and Mrs. Has®- | ers and vegetables raised in the gar- ings, which took place toward the end |dens cultivated ‘by of May at Woodhouse, Leicestershire, was excep- tionally arranged for artistic effect. The bridegroom was the young Earl of Eltham, who is the son and heir of the Marquess of Cambridge, and his slster, Lady Mary Cambridge, who is to be a bride of next week, was the maid of honor. ~ All the costimes were chosen from “ancestral portraits of the two families done by Lawrence and Lely, the bridal robes being of the short- waisted tight effect of the period, with a train which required four pages to lift. These charming little fellows, two from each family, were in tight whige satin trousers which came down to the St. Mary n-the-Elms, | sold for various patriotic causes. | the students are Ever since school gardens were introduced during the stress of the war period such an enterprise has been talked of, but until now_the profect has lacked organization. Radishes, onions and let- tuce are now ready for use, and of course the small gardeners are asking a high price for their ralsed-by-hand stock. Pansies, plants and blossoms, heaithy geranjums all in_bloom, with thumb pot petunias are among the at- tractions, and the youngsters have been doing a thriving trade.
