Soungsters than those of the Duke and ©One of the brilllant events of July 4 in Parls will be the concert given by John McCormack for the bene- fit of the fund to reclaim the devastated area and of which Mme. Loudon, wife of the minister from the Netherlands and formerly Miss Lydia Eustis of New Orleans, is the chairman. The musical program will include, besides the popular Irish ballad singer, some famous amateurs in the music world of Paris. It will be given in the The; ter des Champs Elysees and will be the closing event of the season. Among those who have been actively engaged in alding Mme. Loudoun is the Baroness Romano Avezzano, who was Miss Jacqueline Taylor of St ‘Louis and was so genial a chatelaine of the Italian embassy during her husband's brief tenure in Washington. Mrs. John W. Mackay is to be an- other assistant as will Mrs. Spencer Eda. J Ridgiey o M Mrs. Robert Goelet and the Marquise de Chambrun, sister of Representa- tive Longworth. This concert will mark the dispersal of the modish world in Paris, and many have lin-| gered just to give the notable event! their sanction and most cordial sup- port. The ambassador, Mr. Herrick and Mr. and Mrs. Parmely Herrick | have been entertaining Mr. MeCor- | mack for a few days and later he will be presented to the President of France. . Among the many Americans pri sented at the recent drawing rooms held in Bunckingham_ palace, was s Mary Langdon Baker, whose tuations of affection for her some- | e flance, Alastair McCormick of Chicago, set the country to Euessing | through some two years and more. ! For exuctly five times was the wed- ding set, the garments purchased and , the attendants named and as many times was the ceremony abruptly postponed. Nrs. Alfred Baker has taken a furnished mansion in the very heart of London’s Mayfair, 43 Port- land _square. the residence of Lord and Lady Wellesley, the former son and heir’ of the Duke of Wellington and Miss Mary intends hereafter to make Britain her home. She is said to admire the Englsh, cspecially the men. for their skifl {n hunting and ral poise and for the per- of their soclal customs. Having become very chummy with Lady Colfax, Miss Baker will pass all | of August under her chaperonage at the Lido across from Venice, where ! many of the fashionables of London foregather for the swimming and for golf and polo, which the 8 ian Club has made possible redeeming marshes to the | s Baker has also developed ! turn and wiil study &t In London in the winter and in Venice ! during the summer. As for Mr.| Alastair McCormick, he also finds | London most alluring and has closed | his apartment in Chicago and joined | his elder brother who has lived for| some years near Richmond-on-; Thames. The Chicago colony now resident in London fast encroaches on the New York contingent for; numbers and importance. | Some years ago. when Mrs. Rocke- | feller McCormick was still Mrs. | Harold McCormick and the domestic infelecitites far in' the future, with the aid of some renowned architects | and artists, Mr. and Mrs. McCormick had plans drawn at Lake Forest, | Wwhich was their favorite home, of & series of locks and artificlal fslands which would extend into the lake | proper, and. by means of canals,! Teach into Chicago and thus enabic | the tired business man of that bustl- ing city to run out to his suburban) home entirely by motor boat, canoe | or skiff. Mrs. McCormick furnished the funds for the drawing of the plans, and the amount went far into! the ten thousands., It was understood that John R. Rockefeller would con- | tribute a substantial sum, and Mr.| McCormick, then president of the! Harvester Company, was presumed to adl some of those millions to: artistic development of Chicago's| most beautiful outskirt. But the pro- | jectors of the Idea Seemingly lost interest, or, at least. neither Rocke- feller nor McCormick millions were forthcoming, and the plans were pre- sented to the City Library. Now al renewed interest 1s awakening. and | committees ‘of citizens are forming and it may be that within the next| five years the stretch of twenty-i seven miles from the heart of the city | to the principal lake in Lake Forest, ! will_be transformed into a sort of inner lagoon, on which not only private boats, but those running commerclally will make their sched- | ule after the manner of the transport) in Venice. It seems a far cry from the city of Doges to America's west- ern metropolis. but artists declare that in contour Lake Michigan re- sembles the Adrigtic, and that the| natural facilities thereabout are far in excess of those which the early residents of Venice faced in making their wonderful city. Meantime, Chicago golfists have set up the most exclusive and handsome- Iy equipped civb of the lake regions and called it Shore Acres. It is just outside Lake Forest, and _Stanley, Field, nephew of the late Marshail Field, 1s.the president. Mr. Field for years malintained a charming home in Marion on Buzzards bay, Mass., and he was among the pioneers of golf in | that quiet village, where, until a few | Years ago, croquet was the most ex- | citing pastime. But of recent years the Stanley Fields have passed n 1y all of the summer traveling or their home near Lake Forest. The, Shore Acres Golf Club s an activity | of the great civic club of Chicago and its members Intend to develop the sports idea to the last word, having | hydroaeroplanes, motor boats and a well kept swimming beach all a part of the carefully planned idea. The ®olf links, besides being extensive | and boasting a clubhouse of unusual size und elogance of interior, will be: ranked among the most difficult courses in the country, since there | are marsh lands, deep ravines, knolls and hazards of a surprising variety, including deep gashes in_the bluffs, which abound near Lake Forest. ‘When Count Hermann Scherr-Thoss married Miss Muriel White, only daughter of the then ambassador to France, Henry White, one clause of the pre-nuptial agreement consisted of a promise on the part of the bride- groom that his wife, and should there be children, should pass a part of every year in the United States. Mr. ‘White was reluctant that his daugh- ter and his grandclildren should be- come absolutely weaned away from the land of his birth and which he had served most assiduously in the diplomatic service for almost ,Afty years, .In pursuance with this agree- ment, the countess and her _two sturdy, sons have just arrived in New- port and will remain_until October, then accompanying Mr. and Mrs. ‘White to Lenox. Count Scherr-Thot nual pligrimage to her native accompanies her as often as his b ness engagements permit. Another titled lady who permits no year to pass wjthout visiting her father and hér old home in New York, is Baroness Ameaury d Grange, the younger of th daughters of Mr. Henry T. Sl New York and the present Mrs. Belmont.
