Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Commander Adolphus Mayflower Seen as P Importance—Mr. W. Andrews of ersonage of Supreme and Mrs. Fran_k the C. Page Become Residents. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Since the Mayflower is an annex of the White House, and is, according to presidential predictions, most likely to prove all the summer residence the .

Of course, there was a_ tre- mendous oufcry against this reform. the tradition of the centuries in his part of the world is to order a meal which requires an hour to cook and another to serve, and this in the hours of glorious sunshine, when a heavy meal was a drag. Scores of American polo players have been about Cannes practicing all winter, and as they vociferously patronized the quick lunch their example drew many others. The ambassador to Paris, Mr. Herrick, quite shocked his clerical force by ordering the sim- plest sort of luncheon served at hi: desk, and which he ate in between had on hand. Mr. Parmalee F son of the ambas- sador, was recently in Cannes, and his presence at one of the serve-me- over-the-counter cafes and his choice of a nice thick slice of American fruit pie, with a huge bowl of buttermilk, was, in a way, the straw which has broken the back of the French res- taurant keepers. Bnut Americans are willing to for an eclaborate breakfast, since they simply cannot tolerate the continental style of strong coffee and a dry roll, and their dinner orders leave nothing to be desired. But they dislike losing time in the middle of the day. and so they are revising French customs a bit in this direction. who has been in New York for a month, the guest of several of the former associates of her husband in the Irish Guards dur- Lady Guerns: ing the world war, will make a brief | visit to Washington during Ma Lord Guemnse: who was the oldest son and heir of the Iarl of Ayles- ford, was killed at Ypres in 1916 in a charge In which he was company commander of the guards.

Mre. Borden Harriman is prime mover in this latest developmant, and she is foregathering all the wives and other feminine kindred of the Demo- crats in Congress or serving in other official roles.” This organization was a virile quantity some twelve or four- teen years ago, but it has lately de- clined, both in membership and in- fluence, all of which Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Harriman hope to remedy. But s0 many Democratic women of Washingion are of the south, and the political bee buzzes but faintly in that section. Only in recent vears have the women of the old south be- come interested at all In the nine- teenth amendment, and Mrs. Wilson herself may be deemed a late con- vert, while none of the members of her family show much interest in the detalls of governing the nation. There_is a tiend, however. among both Republicans and Democrats to persuade their logical votaries to dis- card the impersonal element in u cen- tralized feminine party and to work for the success of one of the uc knowledged political divisions. Mre. Harding, who is a keen and most intelligent student of politic: has in- variably given the same advice, and now Mrs, Wilson and Mrs. Harriman are out in a fervent appeal to their clientele to rally around thel standard. Those of ,the city tion can recall the accomplished John Bigelow, Secretary of State of New York, returning to Washington for brief periods of rest during his term minister to Paris. Mr. Bigelow invariably accompanied by his voung daughter, Miss Grace Bigelow, and they held court in the old Arling- ton Hotel. Misg Grace Bigelow shows the passing years but little, and sle kas inaugurated her annual spring re- ptions in her father's old home in Grammercy Park. It is not the resi- dential secticn it was when the Bige- low papers stirred the nation's nerve center, but the mansion remalns un- changed. On Easter Sunday Miss Bigelow gave the usual Sunday brea fast to such of her father's friends as remain, and each vear they are fewer, and the viands were (hose which made a gala breakfast in the civil war ygars and now rarely served except for dinner or luncheon—fried chicken in cream gravy, delectable pancakes and honey. broiled ham and crisp potatoes. Mr. Bigelow's literary reputation swallows up his other ac- complishments so completely that only on occasion it is recalled that he began public life as an inspector at Sing Sing, and all modern prison reforms date from his service there, He was also the chief trustee under Samuel J. Tilden's will. and was ap- pointed ‘in " that document to write the life of the testator and to begin the establishment of the present great free library of New York city with funds left for that purpose. older genera- Tt is not likely that any descen- cants of the gallant Spanish adven- turer of the sixteenth century, the Duke of Tovar, ever trod American soil until the two sons of the present duke, Don Alfonso de Figueroa, and Don Rafael, his younger brother, ar- rived a few weeks ago to take a spe- cial course at Cornell University The family de Figueroa is enormously rich_in tobacco monopolies, and it is to conquer American trade methods that the voung Hidalgos are here. All visitors to Madrid can recall the grand palace of the Duke of Tovar, rich in art treasures as any of the royal galleries or residences. But the present duke is an advanced so- cialist, and his sons have been lead- ing figures in the Boy Scout move- ment, and they have also introduced foot ball and base ball among the younger nobility with a certain de- gree of success.

Women Fairest in World By the Associated Press NEW YORK, April 26.—The beauty of American women made a deeper impression than anything else in this country upon Lord Rothermere, owner of the London Daily Mail and other British newspapers, who sailed for England on the Majestic today. “I never saw prettier women than in ew York,” he said. ‘Even pretticr than was asked. “Oh, yes—much prettier. “And what of England? “For the moment I might even say of England.” One of Lord Rothermere's secre- taries suggested that the Britisher's praise of America’s feminine charms should be ‘toned down lest his words should plague him on his arrival in ingland. But Lord Rothermere stood pat. in Paris? he claims, it is a temple “untversal brotherhood.” Rather ad- vanced social methods are in vogue in Peace House, and the benefits of brotherhood and international zood | feeling do not absorb all the time of the directors. That is the keynote, however, with a distinct effort to per- suade all manner of foreigners to leave their feuds behind and to enter on a new era in this land of oppor- | tunity.
