. SOCIETY. Tales of Well Known Folk | In Social and Official Life Many Proposals of Summer Homes Unlikely to Bring Purchase of One for President—Former First Ladies to Be Honored. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The President and Mrs. Coolidge must be much interested in the va- riety of summer homes which are being suggested for their use in every Part of the country. It Is. of course, &cusonable weather to ponder on sum- mer climates and to present for the presidential favor greem trees and grass and glistening white sands ex- tending to sunny seus. But it is most improbable that the purchase of a temporary White House will engage congressional attention or thut any of the estates suggested wlill be ac- cepted for that use. Congr s in such continuul session that few of the senators or members who Possess homes in ideal resorts are rarely able 10 use them; so looking up one for Preside eems futile. So far hief Executive may o congidered, if he has any appre- ciable vacation, the climate of Ver- mont and his father's home would wer all his needs. That latest or of the purchase of Whitehall, nne Arundel county, Md.. seemed founded on an error in giving the ownership to Mrs. Willlam Cumming Story. when it belongs to the personal estate of the late Mrs. John P. Stor and has been disposed of in her will. Whitehall, the home of Horatlo Sharpe, royal governor of Marvland when the revolution deprived him of Jice, figures extensively in “Richard Carvel” and is a stately, historic do- main, but on the Muyflower the Presi- dent in a few hours can reach more bracing breezes and in a motor he can make the high country about Blue- mont in less time and with greater climatic change. The League of Women Voters has already accomplished such interest- ing things that the reception planned jointly to honor Mrs. Wiiliam Howard Taft and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is in line with fts high polt Mrs. Taft, from her early girlhood and long be- fore a suffragist had ceased to be an object of derision, was an ardent ad- vocate of the woman in politics in the intellectual and intelligent sense. She is, therefore, alive to the re- proach hurled at her sex from one end of the country to the othe: that having received the vote by con- stitutional amendment, they are as less sing it as the men. Wilson suffered the usual fat he Washingtonian, and had no ntil she contracted her hizh alliance. Sinee 1915 she has exer- cised franchise in New Jersey. The example of these two illustrious ladies, once presiding over the nu- tlonal presidential home, will not be without fts influence in every part of the country. for both are supporting members of the league and stand un- alterably for its principles. Mrs. Harding Is likewise a member, and has always been a keen and most astute politician, and another year may xee three former first ladies, by examplo and by precept, urging women Voters to make use of their bigh privileges for better govein- ment commu B vote tles and homes, tary of the Treasury ttention toward reduc- which appertain to s or well in 1t the S will tuin i Itg the tax Americans w pursmit of ball his efforts. passports and con tate Department last hing close to $3,000 totals this year will excel this amount Ly @ quarter, or by ahout $1,250,000. \nd the result is that the foreign oftice, alw considered an orna- appendage in the executive the United States, now than ex s and K and the un el if their year i issued 1t wbiroud, \ds beyond which the passport must be viged by the n st consul If the bearer desires tn keep his rec- ord straight in his voting ward.

Mrs. Henry Potter Iussell, daughter of Mrs. Borden Harriman, was one of the lead- ors of the promenads when iy a hundred pretty girls in vivid orange Palm Beuch suits with red bandannas wrapped about their heads tripped and for the happiness of tholr | White House typical. For compare the banquet glven recently to the diplomatic {corps by President and Mrs. Coolidge 0 & similar amenity in the opening twentloth century when President icKinley asked the heads of foreign missions to be his guests. The state dining _room of the White House lacks nothing in dignity and equip- ment with the home of any head of a state, and the food is prepared to the lust morsel in the presidential kitchen. ~In President McKinley's time tables were improvised in the corridor which separates the drawing rooms from the lobby, and the food was sent in from a caterer's and was rarely ever served hot enough to be palatable. Dreary affairs were state dinners in those days and occasions 1in which the ladies In their decollete gowns contructed heavy colds. Now the artistic element enters into every detail and a sprightliness leavens the most ceremonial affair. A delightful musical program adds to the pl ure of the evening when the Presi- dent and his lady are entertaining and this custom has held since it was in- troduced by Mrs Taft. Mrs. Roos velt frequently had musicals in the afternoon and in the evening, but as interludes at state dinners Mrs, Taft |Is the innovator. may be regarded as Sir Auckland (Geddes' return 1o make his courtesy visits and to re- ceive his papers of recall from the State Department turus attention anew to the fact that the British foreign service seems in recent years, almost as precarious and dependent on poli 1 favor a: that of the United tates.

Three other ambassadors have served in Washington since Sir Cecil Spring-Rice was superceded by Lord Reading and died almost trag- ical a month after leaving Wash. ington, A urth is now on his + and this makes an average of about {the length of an American congre: man’s tenure of office.

A hero of the Anzacs {during thelr disastrous campaign in Gallipoli, Mr. Bruce is an outstand- ing figure in his countr d i the first native-born Australian to achleve his high post. It was nothing short of a personal triumph to defeat the former premier, William Hughes. a Welshman, and nny as Lioyd jGeorge in judging a political situa- tion. The new prime minister is direct from London. where. rumor has it he refused seviral tities. “Nirs' and “lords" are as much of a handi- ap to th blic fav Australia nada, and Mr. Bruc ng his political life. e is in the early forties and is unmarried.

Mrs. Longworih attended Prince Caetani’s last dance and followed the fizures with her old gkill.

The grandson of Ed- ward VII, Prince Olaf has inherited a friendly disposition toward “the states,” and his curlosity has been whetted by the tales of his cousin of Wales and Prince Eric of Den- mark, whe fs ranching in Alberts, ‘anada. The young heir of the Nor- weglan kingdom was born in Sand- ringham palace when Edward ruled | | the realm, and his parents, Prince | jand Princess Charles of Denmerk, | occupled minor roles in the Euro- pean scheme of royalty. Christened Charles Alexander, his name, like that of his father, was changed when the Norweglan 'people separating from Sweden, called the Danish prince to thelr throne. He is tall and hand- some as & future ruler of the Viking descendants should be. and as yet no matrimonial plans have been an- nounced for his future guidance. His coming will be a supremely impor- tant event of the spring and fetes which recall those of lidward VII, and more recently_of his_grandson, will Dbe repeated. Prince Olaf will iravel incognito and visit all the points of general interest and especially those wherein Norweglan economic prob- lems are involved. ~ He has been tralned a saflor and hence Newport and the acquatic sports of the At- lantic resorts will prove interesting both to the royal visitor and the res- idents, Miss Rosamund Minturn Pinchot owes to the accident of traveling on the same ship from Burope with the eminent film director, Max Reinhardt, that her debut winter contains more thrills than usually falls to one in her exalted soclal station. For the keen cve of the director saw possibilities | her for a minor role in “The Miracle. Her days have been passed in exciting interludes with the mighty of the sil- ver screen and her evenings given over to the usual diversions of the bud in the fashionable set. Miss | Pinchot is the daughter of Mr. Amos Eno Pinchot and of his his wife. Mrs. Milburn Pinchot, is and the grand- hterof the late Mrs, James Pin- . with whom she passed much of time in_childhood in the mansfon on th street and Rhode Island avenue. She is, therefore, niece of the Gov ernor of Pennsylvania and of Lady Alkn Johnstone. It was on & return from a lengthy visit to Lady John- stone in her villa at Cannes that Miss Pinchot had her ambition directed to- ward a stage career. Mrs. Minturn Pinchot lives in the old Minturn man- sion of her fathers in Gramercy Park and it was in this abode that Miss Rosamund was presented to soclety. i The Minturnes, Shaws and Lowells, all closely related, flgure in Mrs. Whar- ence,” but few of of Gotham retain ex about Gramercy Park. No problem is more perplexing to the social historian than to explain why certain churches have a general vogue for fa without any apparent reason, sud- denly lose it.

Peter and Paul Cathedral is the kirk par excel- ience in which to be married and St. John's merely shares popularity with St. Thomas', St. Margaret's and one or two others. For a full half cen- tury all celebrities of the Catholic faith selected St. Matthew's Church for nuptial events. It was the church presumably given over to the officlals religion and with particular the diplomatic_corps. 3 represcnting_Catholl nations held pews in St. Matthew's land these ftems included in the ist of expenditures sent to the auditor the foreign office.
