SOCIETY Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Count von Moltke Introduced Famous Nesselrode Pudding—Rudyard Kipling Reported Com- ing to New Hampshire Haunt. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Count Carl von Moltke, who just has become minister of foreign af- fairs under the first Socialist cabinet which the staid land of Hamlet has ever called to power, will bring to the home in Copenhagen an Amer- ican hostess, formerly Cornelia Thay- er, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer of Boston. Ceunt Carl, as he is invariably called since he has two cousins von Moltke, who are also outstanding figures in Dan- ish politics, was minister to Wash- ington for four years from 1907 until 1911, and he and the countess resided in that handsome domicile on 16th street which is now occupied by the Lithuanian legation. The only son, Carl Thayer von Moltke, was an in- fant when he came to the Capital, and left it quite a fine little lad, who was much in requisition at juvenile parties. From Washington Count Carl went 1o Berlin, where he displayed for the first time the eminent qualitics for statecraft which have led to a domi- nant position in the Stauning cabinet He is regarded as the most advanced and logical of the radicals who have upturned the old order and established the most advanced type of socialism known in Europe today. He prevent- ed Denmark from ceding the Virgin 1slands to Germany in the first years of the war. and when it seemed the cohorts of the kaiser were invincible. He was among the few anti-German diplomats at that time in Berlin, al- though he carefully concealed the trend of his advice. He and the countess lived in Berlin all throusgh those harrowing years and both knew hunger and cold and all the other privations which the city endured. Young Carl, however, had been sent to his grandtather, then living in the old homestead at Lancaster, Mass. and during this residence he studied first in Groton and later in Harvard. This presiding lady of the Danish foreign ministe’s home met Count Carl in Rome, where she spent a win- ter with Mrs. George von Lengeke Mevyer. The marriage took place in 1906 and the young couple came to Washingtén in 191 Count Adam von Moltke, cousin and intimate friend of Count Carl. the Danish cabinet-maker. also spent some vears in the diplomatic corps at Washington. He married Marie Louise Bonaparte. only daughter of the late Col. Jerome Napoleon Bona- parte, and who was, through her mother, the granddaughter of Daniel Webster. Another Count von Moltke js Count Capt. Leon, who marricd Miss Edith Marion Garner of New York City. These two niembers of the great Danish family are grand- Sons of that eminent epicure, Count Raymond de Nesselrode. whose chef invented the famous pudding.

The American ambassador to France, Mr. Myron T. Herrick, Is ving many pressing appeals from French Jjournalists to interest this country in the great celebration planned 1931, when it will be 300 vears since Theophrastus Renaudot, in a garret of the Louvre and under the protec- fion of Richelieu, established the Gazette de France, and thus became the father of journalism i Senator Paul Dupuy is the leading spirit in this ideg to make the 300th anniversary of the newspapers an event which will create interest 21l over the world. He is the owner, editor and manager of the well known daily, Le Petit Parisien, a paper which publishes three editions and which has a bona fide daily cir- culation of 1.700,000 copies. The day of the armistice, November 12, 1818, and with the first authentic news, T.e Petit Parisien sold 3.092,460, which 15 the highest sale ever made by a daily newspaper, not only in France, but in the world. Senator Dup: who represents the Sevres district in the upper chamber, was some years in advance of Lord Northcliffe and other powerful controllers of news agenc He had, previous to the world war, acquired an illustrated daily, Excelsior, which has a circula- tion up in the 500,000, and a group of periodicals which cover all sub- jects, literary, i and scientific Mr. Herrick ha cerdial in- terest in the tricentenary of jour- nalism and there is little doubt that this country, where M. Renaudot's innovation has acquired the greatest power and influence. will assume a major part in the celebration. When® Pierpont Morgan's niece, Lady Mary Doris, only daughter of Viscount_and Viscountess Harcourt, marries Hon. Alexander Baring, son and heir of Lord Ashburton, in the Jate summer, many historic memories of Washington diplomatic days in the past are to be recalled. The grand- father of the bridegroom prospective was that Lord Ashburton who finally induced Daniel Wewbster, Secretary of State of President John Tyler, to sign that famous Webster-Ashburton treaty, which thé Democratic party had such a serious time abrogating some years ago. This was the treaty which contemporaneous chroniclers said that the noble lord floated through Congress on a sea of cham- pagne. Young Mr. Baring frequent- ly has visited Washington, but the old mansion where this feat of diplomacy occurred, the old Corcoran house, where Webster lived, is no more, and the mansion which was the British embassy is_covered by a big office building on H street near 17th street.

She i the granddaughter of that Mary Mor- gan who married Walter H. Burns the London banker who handled the Morgan _interests. The bride-to-be of Mr. Baring has passed as much time_with her American relatives as in England. Her father, the Hon William Harcourt, is_the member of Parliament for the Rossendale divi- sion of Lancashire, and his hom Nuneham Park, Oxford, is a beauti- ful country seaf. well known to scores of Americans who have been enter- tained there. When John Hay and his family spent every summer at their lovely home on Lake Sunapee, N. H., their closest neighbors across the water were Mr. and Mrs. Rudyard Kipling. There is much interest in that section just now because the rumor persists that the poet and his wife are con- templating returning to their old haunts, hoping to restore Mrs. Kip- ling to her normal health and vigor It will be remembered that early in the world war the only son of this eminent couple was reported amo the “missing” on the battle front bé- tween Ypres and the French bound- ary, and though every known method was employed by three governments— the British, Belgian and French—his fate never was known. Mrs. Kipling has not recovered from this tragic blow, although her daugh- ter, Miss Alice Kipling. was among the debutantes of last season in Lon- don and received an unwonted share of attention. The Kiplings spent the winter and early spring in_Algeria and penetrated into the desert, visit- ing all the French garrisons and the noted spots along the t They went to the Azores and Madeira for a few months and are now thinking of visiting Mrs. Kipling’s old home in Brattleboro, Vt, and then taking up their residence on Lake Sun Mrs. Kipling was Miss Caroline S Balestier when she married the emi- nent litterateur in 1892 A warm friendship exists between her and tho daughters of John Hay, Mrs. Pavne Whitney and Mrs. James W. Wads- worth, and she may spend some of the summer at both their summer homes in Southampton and the Gene- see Valley. The Secretary of War and Mrs Weeks are the only members of the present executive t who maintain a home in New Hampshire, althoush some vears ago_ both the Hays and the Ethan Allen Hitchcocks had beau tiful places near Dublin and, in Pres- ident Taft's administration, Franklin McVeagh acquired a large estate there also. Mrs. Weeks entertains an affection for the Prospect Hill farm near Lancaster, for she feels imme- diate benefit from its bracing air, no matter how jaded she is on arriving there. The Coolidge place, near Plymouth, Vt., they consider a home and not a summer resting place. They, too, represent the executive set in Ver- mont, which acquired quite a fame for the vacation of statesmen when President Woodrow Wilson spent the first and second summers of his ad- ministration in_the Winston Church- i1l estate in the Green Mountains When the Secretary of War bought Prospect Hill he had some idea of a stock farm. The ranges have a cow or two to keep the family supplied with milk in summer and several sheep which are pets of the Davidge youngsters. who always pass the Summer with. their parents. The woods thereabout are so wonderful that Mr. Weeks, who delights-in tramping and in’ spending some of his leisure in superintending the cut- ting of saplings and lopping off branches, could not consent to acting as pioneer and having them cleared for pasture land. Walter Tittle's exhibition in dry point and lithograph, held all during | June in the Kennedy Galleries in New York City. has created the game en- siasm which greeted these memo- sketches of the members of the arms conference on their appear- ance at the Corcoran Gallery here some months ago.

The British government has pur- chased two sets of the portraits, one for the memoria lalbum, a gigantic undertaking, by which the authorities of the British Museum have collected in pictorial form all relating to the world war, and the other for the South Kensington Museum, which is the work of the world war veterans. The Brooklyn Museum of Fine Arts has obtained a set, and Mr. Henry Huntington purchased one for his su- perb library, which forms part of the art museum which he has presented to the city of Pasadena, Calif. Mrs. Andrew Carnegle has procured a set for the institute in Pittsburgh, which is. in a special way, her protege and which she dowers with all that is worthy and great as it appears on the market. So far Mr. Tittle has not interested Congress in this superb pictorial array of the men whose ef- forts, called forth by the late Presi- dent Harding and the Secretary of State, will go down to history as the first concerted effort of the nations of the world to make war impossible. M. and Mme. Cognacq-Jay, who are known throughout all France as the patron saints of large families, have just announced the total sum which they have expended in aiding the of many children. Those touching posters which are displayed all over the republic, and with vari- ous pictures, -are exhibited under the caption, “That the Fatherland May Live narrating the benefits to be derived from the government and from private sources by all those who have five or more children, were also their benefaction. M. Cognacq is one of the multi-millionaires of France and amassed his fortune in that series of department stores known as “La Samartaine.” He is unique among opulent Paris- fans in that he never has joined a club, takes no interest in the races and ‘maintains no box at the opera. He and his good wife, his able co- adjutor in all his good works, began life as traveling peddlers, and their first permanent booth was under a red umbrella beside the Pont Neuf, the ninth bridge of Paris which spans the Seine. His sums of money given outright to poor parents have been simply staggering and he reguires no accounting as to the useonly that the children so benefited keep in touch with him and his wife and when in Paris visit their home in the Bois du Boulogne. M. and Mme. Cognacq-Jay never had children and it has been a deep-rooted sorrow. So they have decided to bestow their riches on parents who have not the means to clothe and educate a large family properly, and they act on their own initiative, through parish priests and civic authorities and special agents, who keep an eye out for the industrious, law-abiding people who are really struggling under the burden of many children.

Drexel of Philadelphia, banker and one time partner of the late George W. Childs. Mother Katherine used this vast sum in connection with what is known as the contract school system, build- ing and equipping houses in’ fifteen different states to carry on the work of the Catholic Indian missions of the United States and to the section given over to the colored population. Mother Katherine i5 the eldest of the two daughters of Francis A. Drexel and inherited the major part of his great fortune. This has recently been aug- mented by the death of Walter George Smith, who had married Miss Eliza- beth Drexel, who died some twenty years ago, leaving no children. She willed her fortune on the death of her husband to the charitable and be- nevolent activities in which her sis- ter is engaged. Senator Pepper stated that, though Mother Drexel's income is a'vast fortune in itself, less than $1.000 annually is expended by her in personal expenses and the remainder goes to charity and benevolence and is_thus non-taxable. Mother Drexel's only brother, Fran- cis A. Drexel, jr. was the father of Elizabeth and Katherine Drexel, who married in Washington, some twenty- five years ago, John and Eric Dahl- gren. The former died and is buried in the Dahlgren Memorial chapel at Georgetown University, and his wid- ow is now Mrs. Harry Lehr. Mr. and Mrs. Eric Dahlgren were divorced, .|and the former lives in New York, and the latter in Paris. The Hon. Ramsay MacDonald, pre- mier of Britain, appears in a new role in the recently published life of his wife, where he 18 her blographer un- der the title of “Margaret Ethel Mac- Donald” Perhaps the labor leader makes more a popular appeal in this book than he ever has before and it is assuredly a most inspiring presen- tation and reveals a sentimental side of his character seldom hitherto sus- pected. 5 Mrs. MacDonald was identified with the movements in which her husband attained international fame long be- fore he was, and it is plain that he regards himself as her convert and the malnspring of his work. Her true womanliness is shown in touch- ing instances, and her ability to make home and its ties the paramount issue even when she was conducting crusades which have resuited in the widest benefit to her sex and to labor- ing people generally. The British premier has written with great fer- vor, although with the restraint which is his by heritage and which shows so strognly in his public papers. Mrs. MacDonald’s monument, erected by the denizens of the London siums whom she had aided so sig- nally, recently was unveiled in the small park in the Inner Temple. where she sat 8o often and held open-air conferences with her clients. Mr. William C. Wells, the author of the guidebook to Sulgrave Manor and_its neighboring village, Ecton. in Northamptonshire, which is the cradle of the Franklins, has after years of incessant search, discovered the brasses which were stolen from the tomb of Lawrence Washington, owner of Sulgrave, which i{s now a national memorial to the family of the illustrious patriot who rests at Mount Vernon.

But naturally Americans rejoice over Mr. Wells’ discovery, for he hae been 8o earnest a student of the Washington annals in Northampton, where Lawrence purchased the first landed estate the Waskingtons own- ed, and where he eurvived most of his thirteen children—six sons and seven daughters. It was the memo- rial brasses of the daughters which were stolen and which Mr. Wells has mysteriously recovered, repur- chased and placed them in their orig- inal positions in the Washington crypt of the old church at Sulgrave. Miss Anna Roosevelt, daughter of Franklin D. Rooseveit, who was among, the stately graduates of Miss Chapin's School, on Long Island, last week, was & tall, shy girl studying at the Cathedral School when she left Washington almost four vears ago, when the Wilson administration came to-an end. Miss Roosevelt will be among the debutantes of next win- ter, and as her mother, a cousin of her father's, was a Roosevelt also, she will receive much attention from the far-flung line of kindred. Miss Roosevelt had one thrilling experience in Washington which can- not be duplicated, no matter what her debut year offers. With some of her school friends at the Cathedral School, she was standing near the Belmont home in New Hampshire avenue waiting for the bus which would convey her home, when the Prince of Wales came down the street, and noting the small girls looking very earnestly at him. stop- ped, and with his customary gailantry asked If_he could do anything for them. With one impulse they all asked that he get them a holiday, and, promising that he would, he asked their names and where their school was, and he took particular notice of Anna, for, of course, the name attracted his attention. ' The prince was as good as his word. He appeared at the school the next day. picked out his little friends and was MRS.

Mr. and Mrs. Faerber will live in Lakewood, Ohio. properly presented to them and, in fact, to all the class, by the powers in charge. The assistant secretary and Mrs. Roosevelt were rather shocked at Anna's adventure, but the prince singled out Mr. Roosevelt and told hira how he had enjoyed the en- tire episode. . Asks Limited Divorce. Mrs. Magdalen Thomas has filed suit for a limited divorce from John H. Thomas on charges of cruelty, neglect and inadequate suppdrt. They were married in May, 1917, and have four children. Attorney John J. O'Brien appears for the wife. GOVERNMENT TO HOLD BUSINESS MEETING Coolidge and Lord to Speak at Budget Bession Tomor- row Night. Music will embellish the regular meet- ing of the business organisation of the government tomorrow night at Memorial Continental Hall, for the first time in the history of such gatherings, which started three years ago. The Marine Band will play for half an hour prior to the addresses by Presi- dent Coolldge and Director Lord of the bureau of the budget, and will close the program with “The Star Spangled Ban- ner.” President Coolidge and Gen. Lord will outline the fiscal position of the govern- ment, and lay down policles for further- Ing the program of *economy and ef- ficlency.” All departmental heads and officials connected with the disbursing of money have been invited.

WIFE WINS ANNULMENT. Woman Charged Husband Had Two Other Spouses. Mrs. Mary Scudder Winslow was awarded a final decree annulling her marriage to Floyd Truman Winslow by Justice Bailey, in Equity Court, ves- terday. Mrs. Winslow charged that when she went through_a form of marriage ceremony to Winslow in this city he already had a wife, from whom he had not been divorced. It was further contended that Win- slow married a third woman befora wife No. 2 started proceedings to ob- tain her freedom.
