Family Reunion Held At Shelburne House A family reunion was held during the last week of July at Shelburne House, the large estate of Dr. and Mrs. W. Seward Webb, near Shel- burne, Vt, when not only all the children and grandchildren of the Webbs foregathered, but former United States ambassador to France and Mrs. Henry White, and some of the latter's grandchildren also took part in the gala event. All the pleas- ures were rural, picnics, hay rides and barn dances, all for the family circle, exclusively. “Mrs. Ralph Pulit- zer, who was Miss Fredrica Webb, lives near her parents at Shelburne for half the year and has gone in for scientific farming. Her porkers are the pride of the family and several of them were roasted whole for the big barbecue which ended the re- union. Mrs. Moran Tea Host For Washington Guests | Mrs. Francols Berger Moran was hostess at tea last week at the Casino at White Sulphur Springs, when her guests included a number of Wash-| Ingtonians who are spending a por- tion of the season there.

Not far from the Breakers, Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, jr. and her pretty daughters hold high court at Quatrefoil, and Mrs, O. H. P.

But Marble House, where her parents held such sway when Mme. Balsan was a girl, has passed from the Van- derbilts, and Bellevue avenue and Ocean drive are filled with splendid homes of a newer generation than that of either Cornelius or William K. Vanderbilt. Some of the gossips recall that it is exactly thirty years since the first Vanderbilt “broke” into Newport society, and these were the Frederick Vanderbilts, closely follow-. ed by the others.

Nor is it likely that the Coolidges will take po: session of the White House for sev- eral months vet, and in this con- nection it is interesting to recall that Vice President Arhur, upon succeed- ing to the chief magistracy. permitte an entire vear to elapse before he moved into the mansion, following that tragic event which removed James Abram Garfield from the presi- dency. Andrew Johnson, succeeding Lincoin, remained for eight months in the home of the late Levi P. Morton, then a member of Congress, and which occupled the site where the Shoreham Hotel has been built. But | Mrs. Lincoln was very ill after her terrible experience and was unable to remove her personal belongings, and the Tennesseean conveved to her I his desire that she take all the time | required for recovery and composure. In the latest instance of the pro- jcedure of a vice president in moving |into the presidential mansion on suc- ceeding to the presidency that of Theodore Roosevelt, who was McKin- ley's successor, the case presented many aspects not noted in_the five previous instances when a President died. Roosevelt had a family of small children, four of whom were about to resume their studies in Washing- ton, and it wase necessary to provide them with a home and let them begin the scholastic routine. Another point was that owing to her long and se- rious illness in_the previous spring Mrs. McKinley had been removed to hér home in Canton and all of her personal possessions had been moved with her, even the furniture in her sleeping chamber and the boudoir of the White House, in order that she would have a perfectly familiar and pleasing environment. The Roosevelt | family had only to send their per- sonal possessions from Oyster Bay and to purchase some new furniture for the time being, and the mansion was ready for them. Mrs. Harding, though bearing up so bravely, will, it is felt, require much time to gather her stréngth and re- sources for the painful duty of re- moving her own and her husband's belongings from the home where they have spent such happy months. Mrs. Coolidge is not of the type to BUEEest any precipitancy or to show undue haste in occupying the historic home. In accordance with the established usage, the nation will be officially in mourning for six months, and this will lap over into the winter. Mean- time every amenity planned by any members of the tripartite division of the government will be affected. Eepecially the little weason, compri ing those opening days of autumn when debutantes are presented to society and when all affairs take on a - delightfully informal aspect not tive one, President leagues will naturally be of the offi- clal set, and these would not par- cipate ‘during the period of mourn- The cabinet circle. whether than -is the polit- |continues exactly as now or receiv Such plans | some new members through the exi gencies of the times, will be i tirement and none of the brill attaching to their traditional tions will be possible Though the diplomatic ney func- corps will not appear in black, as would be the | » had the death of a Chief Execu- occurred in an old world capital its members will observe mourning as punctiliously the remainder of flicialdom. For days to come the various heads of embassies and le- gations will be making calls of con- dolence on each and every member of the government now in Washing- ton. The corps will be represented in the assemblage at Union station to receive the body of the lamented President and all in their uniforms will attend the obseauies. Then for %0 long a period as the zovernment malintain€ its outward gemblance of sorrow, that long will the diplomats refrain from any sort of formal en- tertaining. and thie will. of course cause a notable difference in the lighter side of Washington life For the next six weeks, and per- haps much longer. evervthing of a social nature will be dismissed from consideration, and until the conven- ing of Congress, in case the President does .not call an extra session as would seem probable now, no sched- ule for the winter can be even tenta- tive. No mistress of the White House since Mrs. Grover Cleveland has been 80 youthful and of such buoyant spirite as Mrs. Coolidge. Harding was the first to bear the name of Florence, so Mrs. Coolidge introduces Grace into the long list of Arst ladies of the land. It is of in- terest that in the last four who pre- sided over the presidential home there were two Ediths—Mrs. Roose- velt and the second Mrs. Woodrow Wilson—and two Helens—Mrs. Taft and the first Mrs. Wilson, who is written officially in the family an- nale as Helen Louise Axson Wilson. Of the first Presidents Washington did not live in Washington, and Mme. Martha cannot be counted among the mistresses of the White House: and Jefferson. who married Martha Wayles Skelton, was a widower in 1782, and his term was from 1801 until 1809. Andrew Jackson's wife, Rachel Donelson Robards, never presided at the White House, nor did Hannah Hoes. wife of Martin Van Buren, she having died in 1819, twenty-two years before his election. President Su- chanan was a bachelor and President Arthur was a widower when he suc- ceeded Garfleld, and both remained single throughout their terms. So, while there have been thirty Presi- dents. only twenty-four women have resided in the White House as the wife of the Chief Executive, though somé twelve others akin to the then head of the nation have acted as of- ficial chatelaines.

In 1 M. de Laboulaye was de- tached from the military service and joined the large staff of M.

M. de Peretti de la Rocca was counselor, Lieut. Commander Benoist d'Azy was naval attacke and Lieut. Commander Chambrun. the brother- in-law of Representative Longworth, was military attache.
