The drives and bridie paths about the ) capital and the great highways of Virginia and Maryland have so im- proved that when combined ‘with the new fad for swimming pools. ! al fresco partics and so on, one is not ashamed, but glad to mect one’s | friends face to face.

This was the dinner and reception in honor of the great French hero, Gen. Gouraud. to whom the capital opens its arms in welcome. The social amenitics particularly well adapted to the sterner sex were a delightful break in the happenings of the weck. the embassy hospitality, the Mayflower trip, the reception at the home of Col. Dumont, the dinner with Gen. Pershing as host and other cvents rounding out an incomparable program of wel- come F course, the dash for summer resorts will grow a little in strength as the midsummer days increase in heat and dullness, but there is not the slightest hope of resort life in America resuming its old-time bril- liancy until pleasure-seekers are satiated with the renewal of tourist life in Europe. Every ship will be crowded for weeks to come, and now that many are on the other side, they are just as worried about getting passage back home. For a fact, many go at once on their arrival at the foreign EWING. ,~=§M Wife of Lieut.

Mme. Saburi has already proceeded fo Williamstown. aod her husbarid, the counselor of the Japanese embassy, will soon join her there. Maj. and Mrs. Charles Kelier will leave here about July 27 for Williamstown. and others to make up a notahle Washington representa. tion will be there. SOCIAL lions of Washington's winter season are still being lionized, but . in a milder way, at Newport. and Count and Countess Szechenyi and Prince and Princess Bibesco and others are the keynote for the more important events. At Bar Harbor life moves on in the same way, dinner partics of Washington’s big season being duplicated in the dinnes partics teas and luncheons there. It is in the Berkshires that the most interest. ing program obtained during the wWeck, the Independence day parade at Berkshire Hills, Mass.. bringing back to vision the life of 1795, with a pageant of transportation, a feature of which was the “one-hoss shay” or chaise in which the Rev. Dr. Samuel Shepard, a prelate of that day rode to church. Not less interesting was the turnout in which ann}‘ Kemble, the English actress, first came to Lenox in 1836, while the two. wheel gig in which Oliver Wendell Holmes rode over to Lenox to vict his friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne, was not less interesting.

The list of Washington men to own water craft of some description constantly grows and Mr. Frank B. Noyes re- cently purchased a two-masted schooner, now in commission at his summer home, Ingleside, Winter Harbor, Me. The real importance of equipped schooner, sloop or vacht in the scheme of social grows and furnishes, at least to Washington, a comparatively new phase. ‘The old Sylph and Dolphin, so familiar in the waters of the Po- tomac some years ago, were the first really necessary boats in commission here for official social purposes, Presidents before their time adapt- ing almost any boat of reasonable size to their convenlence. President Roosevelt felt the need of a more imposing craft, .just as he felt the need of a restored White House, and so had the government purchase the Mayflower, still In commission as the Président’s vacht. Now out of date in many ways, she will undoubtedly soon be replaced with a more up to date and conveniently arranged craft. Senator and Mrs. Joseph S. Freling- huysen kept their fine steam vacht Victoria in commission here for some time, both before and after it made its famous voyage into Southern waters, where it served as a home for the Presidént ahd .Mrs. Harding during much of their visit in Florida. She has had aboard as guests many other notables besides Mr. and Mrs. Harding. ‘The Roxana, lovely and truly be- loved houseboat of Mr. and Mrs. Larz Anderson, is in. almost constant commission with some of their friends aboard, her-last trip to.
