An early morning drizzle changed irto a forrential downpour at § ock and continued almost without cessation until afternoon. Streets in the lower section of the city were impassable. and ice wagons were used to remove marooned worship- ¢is from at least one church. On_ Market street, in the heart of the residential district, hundreds of youngsters in bathing costumes dis- ted themselves in the water, which ° feet above the level of the [ alks toncrete sidewalks on Princess strect near Fourteenth were washed away, and Wrightsville turnpike be- tween Wilmington and Wrightsvi'le Beach was blocked by washouts along the way Miss Eleanor Davis, director of the College of Physical Training at Col- orado Springs, Colo., has the distine- tion of being the first wom reach the summit of Grand Teton in Yellowstone Park, a height I FOLKS I The diplomatic corps which is ac- credited to the American Capital is at the present a larger body than it had ever been in previous years, and § contains a more numerous list of authors of ac- knowledged celeb- rity. Princess Bi- besco, wife of the minister from Ru- mania, has just stepped into the ranks of serious novelists with her first lengthy fic- tional productior, “The Fir and the Palm,” which is Rublished simul- taneously in this country and in - E England. It is, of Princess Bibesco. course, founded il on international complications. a theme which the daughter of Herbert ang Margot As- quith is eminently fitted to handle. Thus far the story has been ac- claimed by the critics as unusual in a first sustained effort. Princess Bibesco has written scores of short tales and achieved a certain success both in this country and at home. She is a sort of vivisectionalist of character. and in this quality lies her power. The Rumanian minister and his wife were constant attendants at both conventions and were among the few who tarrieq to the very end of the long drawn out proceedings at Madison Square Garden. The prince received impressions which will no doubt help in that study of politics on the merican character, TUBE BABY GETS TROPHY Child Born in London Subway Has Earl for Godfather. LONDON, July 21.—So seldom is a baby born on one of London's subway trains that the christening recently of Thelma Ursula Beatrice Eleanor (whose initials spell tube, the Eng- lish equivalent for subway), was an affair which attracted the attention of Lord Ashfield, head of the subway system, and many other railway offi- cials. Upon learning of the baby's birth on one of the underground trains Lord Ashfield requested that he be permitted to act as godfather and at the time of the christening he presented her with a solid silver cup. which is, says rumor, to be treated in the form of a novel. Prince and Princess Bibesco will sail for Eng- land on July 26 and will, as Is their &ustom, spend most of the summer with the Herbert uiths in Kent Prince Antoine Bibesco also an author of distinction. e Iy on thempes relating to the e.” He has recently published some studies of racial traits as developed on the stage in this country and Europe.
