Yet the chief exeeutive and Mrs. Harding, | with members of their party, are starting “home,” and it is pos- sible that by the end of August there will be a small “family reunion.” The President and Mrs. Harding have had an interesting, though some- what tiring trip, and on their return will ind the White House thoroughly cleaned, and a delightful place to spend the remainder of the summer.

The charge d'affaires of Belgium and ‘Mme. La Marie de Warzee d'Hermalle entertained a small but distinguished company at dinner early in the weck and the departure of Dr. and Frau Riesser of the German embassy made them the re- cipients of several farewell parties. HE largest and most important function of the midsummer was thé reception yesterday, which the charge d'affaires of Peru and Senora de Gonzalez Prada gave in their spacious apartment at Wardman Park Hotel in celebration of the 102d anniversary of Peruvian independence. The reception was attended by officials and diplomats, as well as a goodly number of residential society. Pleasure Seeking Aim Of Washington Society THE ever changing aspect of society in the National Capital will be For Summer Vacation particularly marked the coming season, for there are many newcomers to meet and be met. Not only in the senatorial and congressional circles, but in the Army and Navy, for there are a number of newly appointed assistants in the different branches of the government who are staying temporarily in an-apartment or hotel expecting to take larger and more permanent quarters before the arrival of their families in the autumn. Among the “service” people who are leaving are Admiral and Mrs. Robert E. Coontz and Gen. and Mrs. John McAuley Palmer. They have made many friends during their stay here and will be genuinely missed. Gen. and Mrs. Palmer will go to Panama in September and Admiral and Mrs. Caontz will be stationed on the Pacific coast. Admiral Edward W. Eberle, who will come here to fill Admiral Coontz’s place as chief of naval opera- tions, and Mrs. Eberle are already well known and greatly liked here, having beep stationed in Washington some years ago and since then at Annapolis, where the admiral was superintendent of the Naval Academy.

Former Residcnt Of Capital Elected To Coming Congress Son of ex-Secretary of State to Return to Waahington as Representative. Among the new members who will be seated in the House of Repre- sentatives when the Sixty-eighth Con- gress meets, either in regular ses- sion in December or before that time by special call, will be a young man, Robert Low Bacon, who lived the best part of eight years here when his father, Robert Bacon, was As- sistant Secrotary of State under Mr. | Elihu Root, and on that stateman’s | election to the Senate, as Secretary of Statg in his place. Robert Low Bacon was of the rather notable group of youths in Groton and later in Harvard in 1905-08, among whom were the present assistant pecretary of the Navy, the younger Theodore Roosevelt, and his brother, Kermit, and, for a brief time, Hugh Knox. The Robert Bacons lived throughout their ‘Washington residence on 16th street, Jjust above Secott Circle, and young Bob. was a popular member of the ounger official set. He graduated in aw from Harvard and took up that inev- profession, which, of course, itably led him' Into_politics. the war he was with his fat was attached to Gen. Pershing’s staf, and after that in the New York divi- slen of the A: E. F., which saw such fiery service in the onne. He is a “star” man. and his name is high on the roster, not only in the big regimental hall of New York city, but in the students’ hall at Harvard. Mr. and Mrs. Bacon have recently|® been In Washington looking over the situation, with a view to comfort and space next winter. Their own fine home at Westbury serves them as an all-the-year residence, though they have frequently been in Southampton this summer, where they have hosts of friends. Mrs. Bacon, who was Mias Virginia Murray, was matried in 1813, and is a member of the distinguished old family in Gotham which has glven its name to hills and streets and hotels and parks. She was among the active workers in the Junlor League, and did her bit, both in_the Red Cross and in the canton, while her apouse was overasas fighting for L good cause. ‘The representative-elect from the Westbury district and his wife are both active in the Meadow Brook Club of Seuthampton, and Mrs. Bacon is among the hosteases sought for the 5 o'clock reunions on Saturday after- She recently devised that pic- the entire countryside, from toddling ungsters, acted sheep, all The way ‘up to ‘some brisk - grands tathers and mothers who ranged about in_the tableau.

Diplomatic Corps Members Well Scattered for Summer Reception by Peruvian Envoy Only Affair of Week Here That Had Official Earmarks. The members of the diplomatic corps are well scattered today, those who have remained in this' country going off to seashore or mountain for the week end, expecting to re- turn to their embassy or legation tomorrow. Through the week there have been a number of dinner parties and luncheons, with the one large re- ception yesterday, given by the charge d'affaires of Peru and Senora de Gonzalez Prada, as the only func- tion that seemed official. Senora de. Riano, wife of the-am- bassador of Spain, is leaving Wash- ington this evening for York Harbor, Me., to be the guest for some time of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Anderson. The minister of China. 'Dr. Alfred Bze, is expected to return to Wash- ington this week from Woods Hole, Mass., where he is passing some time with 'Mme. Sze and their children, who are established there for the symmer months. The minister of Nicaragua and Senora ‘de Chamorro, accompanied by Senorita Enriquez, are spending a few days in New York on their way to Newport. They will return to Washington early in August.

The minister of Haiti and Mme.

The charge d'affaires of Great Britain, Mr. Henry Getty Chilton, is spending the week end with former geous showing when the show was in progress. With a distinctive talent for un- usual soclal fetes, Mrs Bacon's en- trance into Washington's officlal life is keenly awaited. She is noted ltke- wige in the city and about the hill country of New York for her ex- quisite taste In dress. Her hats are the despair of her friends, yet she plans them all herselt and is prone to take the choicest creation and bend and twist it to meet her ap- proval, and often she rips out adorn- menta’ and places spme of her own “Bo-Pee” fete, which took place the first week of July, she wore a Florentine brald hat of lettuce green, on which she had 1214 three or four gorgeous radiance roses in the bud.

His grandmother was Miss Emily Low of Westchester. His mother, who was Miss Martha Cowdin Waldron of Long Island and who was such an acceptable chate- laine of the home of the Secretary of State during the last yvears of the Roosevelt administratjon and of the American embassy in Paris, resides near her gon in Westbury. She will no doubt be a frequent visitor to ‘Washington to renew the ties formed during her long residence here in the early 1900's. Important on his own aceount, the representative-slect from Weatbury derives additional in- terest through being the son of a distinguished public official and that he passed a0 many of his youthful years in Washington. In this she has three other New Yorkers as company —Senator James W. Wadsworth, jr., Col. Theodore Roosevelt and Hamll- ton Fish, jr. All of these men show “Bo-Peep” that while thia country has no hered- 3y th ftary legislative cl. are fam- ilies showing qual which make it certain that the members who de- ‘velop political ambitions will be sure to win. the confidence of their con- stituents.
