Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Stanfield Leaye to Join Daughters in Europe—Howards to Pass Summer on BY MARGARET B, DOWNING Two senatorial hostesses, Mrs. Da- vid A. Reed of Penusylvania and Mrs. Robert Nelson Stanfield of Oregon, sall- ed recently for Europe to join their daughters who have been studying abroad. 1t is possible that Miss Rosa- mond Reed and Miss Barbara Stan- fleld will be umong the importan: buds of next winter, though it w require seme persuasion on the paif of Mrs. Stanfield to lure her daught from her beloved violln.

Mr. John Joyce Broderick's rgeent ure on diplomac before ~ the erican Catholic Historical Society, Catholic University, which has n printed as a brochure, will be with deep Interest by many to om the new diplomacy, as present- | in Washington, has 'been some- ing of a puzzle. Mr. Broderick has his credit. the achievement of an novation in_the British ainlomatic ervice when he secured appointment as commercial counselor to the Washington establishment. And in North Shore. In this exceedingly illuminat- ing exposition of the diplomacy which has resulted from the world war, the British commercial expert emphasize that the social role is'no longer of paramount importance, and that the man who possesses the intelleciual endowment with practical knowledgc will be the ideal envoy, and his par- lor tricks will not count at all. Much of this has been borne in uvon the soclal world of Washington, which been amazed to find how lons how hard the new diplomat la- rs and how seldom he can be count- on in the daylight hours for any of the frivols. Washington is naturally alive to the importance of the rumor which persists in London that the Duke of York will this autumn be sent to Canada as governor general. This will be @ return to a long established precedent, but in the days when 1l Marquis ‘'of Lorne and his spouse, who was _Princess fourth’ daughter of Queen Victoriu. were the occupants of the vice regal palace in Ottawa, the relation be- tween tho countries was very cool and distant. Now they are excecd- ingly close and cordial, and the pres- cnce of the Duke of York and his handso voung duchess will infid- al'events here and will even- lead to a series of visits to Washington. The presenl sovernor general, Lord Byng. is al .ut to re- tire, and he is among the exceptions to the usual procedure, for he has not come to this country. A hero of the great war, he was naturally in the thick of the controversy of who won it, and in his book he did not assign as much credit to American assistance as many believe it deserved. At rate, Gen. Byng has never found lei- sure to visit the United States, and he plans to return to England in Octo- predecessor, the Duke of onshire, paid several visits here. last Just before the armistice. _Mrs. John D. Sherman. whose direc- tion of the General Federation of Women's Clubs has been so univer- sally commended, has added another chapter to her record of achieve- ment in offering the prize of $200 for the best plan to transform an ordinary backyard of a ecity dwelling into a vegetable and flower garden combined, or u flower garden alone. Plans were received until May and the number submitted far c ceeded Mrs. Sherman's most san- guine hopes. President Coolidge and the Secretary of Commerce, Hoover, are sponsoring the move- ment. which, aceording to the slogan of the club, 1s “Better homes for th United States and a garden for vvery home.” Mrs. Sherman has far reaching ideas, and she has clothed them in charming garden phras. for she hopes to make all America bloom like a rose, changing the gray despair of so many homes into the sanguine red of undaunted courage and the vivid green of energy and inspiration. A year ago, with the aid of many distinguished public and resldents of Washington, head of the federation of clubs’ from her headauarters in N street, sent forth a call for girden week, and it was answered with enthuslasm from ean to ocean and from Canada the gulf. Garden ‘experts, carefuliy chosen, are busy looking over the plans .which have come from every section of the country. Three points will count heavily in favor of the winner, beauty in general effect, com bined ‘with simplicity and economy in cultivation. Garden plans with pen and ink or pencll sketches ac- companfed by a running commentary of not more than 800 words are the cnly conditions lald down for com- n. and no barriers have been erected of any sort against any cluass of competitors. except professionul gardeners. Luther Burbank has extended a gengral invitation to his marvelous nurseries at Santa Rese, Calif. and since many clubs and various asso- clations are to hold sessions in Los Angeles about the middle of June. Special trains will take those who wish to inspect the wizard's c tions at close range so they may do ®o at any convenient hour. Mr. Burbank has located his experiniental gardens at Santa Rosa and here’ some of those giant fruit and flowers which have made his name famous all over the world may be inspected nd their development studled. When plant or fruit shows itself a cess, Mr. Burbank transplants it to his home at the pretty little town which bears his name, and which is part of Los Angeles, and possibly its farthest western suburb. Burbank lies on a lovely mountain, the slopes of which bloom like the biblical par- adise. Only rarely are guests n- ed to the home, and invitations fo Santa Rosa are events In every sense. The aged plant wizard works some- times eighteen hours a day 1 the growing season, and he prefers soli- tude and silence. The climbing roses at Santa Rosa are the wonder of the countryside, and there are climbing geraniums Which stretch up the dor- mer roof of a three-story house. Capt. Tom Hickman of the Texas Rangers salled a few daye ago on the Menominee for England, and with him on the liner was a bald-faced black cow pony, which is soon to be- come a resident of the extensive sta- bles of the Prince of Wales at Wim- bledon. This future royal equine is called Tejano, and, in the opinion of his owner, hé is the finest specimen of “pinto ‘stang” to be found in the southwest. and can stop on a dime, turn around on a nickel and do other marvelous feats. Tejano is only four- teen hands high, so if the heir of the British throne is thrown from his back no great harm will be done. The prince, it will be remembered, took the deepest interest in cow boys and their mounts, and never missed an opportunity to see their perform- ances both in Canada and in_the northwest, To the deep regret of the southwest, he never beheld a real round-up ‘or the capers which the Texas riders can cut. But is has been learned that a gift such as Capt. Hickman is bringing will be prized above rubles, especially when Te- jano's accomplishments can be dis- plaved to the fullest advantage. This perfectly trained cow pony will be presented to the prince at the Wem- bly Stadium, at the British empire exhibitfon, after the rodeo in which he will be a star performer, and at which Capt. Hickman will be one of the judges. Commander Frederick C. Billard of the coast guard very appropriately has insisted that the revenue cutter Bear should be given a conspicuous place in the maritime hall of fame. To Washingtonians the name recalls the grim tragedy of the Greely Arctic expedition, and that this stout ship, once a whaler in private ownership, had been the rescuer of tha remnant which survived when help came. But Commander Billard says that no ship in_the government service has per- formed more herolc and useful serv- ice, for the Bear and her crew have been friends and guardians of the residents of that part of the world where the North American and the Asiatic continents meet and where the white and yellow races, grawn from many parts, are thrown to- gether in business enterprises.

This hand- some gift soon will be forwarded to Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who is alding this library as wholeheartedly and liberally as he has the Univer- sity Library of Louvain. The Chief Justice, who was governor of the Philippines, and came into such close and friendly relations with the government at Toklo, is also quietly niding thix noble enterprise, and Mr. Larz Anderson and Mr. Thomas O'Brien, former ambassadors to Japan have responded generously to the request for hooks.

Dutch Group to Give Capital for Polish Outlet. Br Cable fo The Star and OChicagn Daily News. Copyright, 192 AMSTERDAM, May 24—A Dutch group, with a capital of 20,000,000 guflders, has undertaken to trans- form the fishing village of Gdingen, on the coast where the Polish corridor touches the sea, into a considerable Polish commercial port. Arrangements were completed fol- lowing the recent Warsaw visit of Van Yselstyen, former Dutch minister of dikes and waterways It s re- ported that the business men of Dan- zig, Koenigsberg and other Baltic ports are somewhat alarmed at the news, considering the proposed port fo Gdingen a serlous menace to Dan- zig’s traffic and the military equi- librium of the Baltic. Poland, which tried vainly to ac- quire Danzig under the peace treaty, is now a country of nearly 30,000,000 people without a seaport. Gdingen was chosen as-a future port in 1820, but its development languished for lack of money. With completion of a single pler, the port last year was in- augurated with a military display and the honorary presence of a French cruiser. Herr Yselstyens' investigations have convinced him that Gdingen may ultimately become a consider- able naval base. o Alabama State Society Will Meet Thursday The regular monthly meeting of the Alabama State Society will be held at the Washington Club Thurs: day evening.
