At the al fresco luncheon given at Welwyn by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Irving Pratt | | the surroundings were o simple and | | natural that the prince, who is ac- | customed to' pomp and ceremony. took | occasion to congratnlate the hostess, | for it was obvious that the luncheon | had been scrved exactly as it was all through the Summer when the weather permitted.

Not a flower candle or formal deco- ration was used and the costumes of all the ladies were just those they would wear to any al fresco affair in balmy weather.

Mrs. Carne- | sic and her daughter, who remained |at Skibo for this service, had about |20 house guests, who motored over to | | Balmoral in the early afternoon. Mr. | Carnegie's friend, Sir George Adam | Smith. the present principal of the | University at Aberdeen, performed the service and preached the sermon acclaiming that the renowned steel | man was at once and in every way a | great Scotchman and a great Ameri- |can, and 2 friend and benefactor of | |other nations as well as the two he | | called his own, a man of enormous faculty and of powerful spiritual stimulus. Mr. Carnegie gave liber- ally toward restoring this old chapel of Creich, in which parish Skibo is located, and he was known to the entire countryside for his interest in the work, sending across seas for ma- terial and engaging skilled labor at his own expense. Creich was the vil- lage in which the immigrant lad had been reared and where he felt bitter poverty before turning to the new world to retarieve his fortunes. Mrs. Carnegie has invited a large party of American friends to remain for the grouse shooting, which began in her | region on September 1. i Edward Louis Spicrs, wife of | | Brig. Gen. Spiers of the British army | 'ana well known in the social and | literary yorld of Chicago and Lon- | don as Mary Borden, has just tried | |an experiment in her beautiful home, No. § Little College street in the |latter city, which will be watched with the keenest interest. In the great ballroom, which extends along the entire west side of her mansion, she has had a fine polished . steel floor placed, and artistically, at least, it is a_ marvelous success. The silvery effect of lights and shadows on this surface is comparable to nothing ex- cept that of a deep and shaded brook and the waving of trees overhead which _are reflected in the waters. Mrs. Spiers was advised to do this on the plea that a floor of polished | steel possessed almost an immortality compared to the damage done polish- °d hardwood by the usual activity | of a dancing space. This room is deco- | rated in the softest of white and| {gray, with dainty bits of azure in| | the ceiling and the cornices, and the | entire effcct is that of an open space {over water. n. Spiers lately was | retired from active servico and, hav ing devoted intensive study to inter- national relations, he ran for Parlia- ment and now sits for the borough kiown as the west center of London.

Albert A of the Democratic party and whom rumor already clects to Senator McCormick’s seat. Maj Sprague, who is known all over Illi- nois as “Al” is the son of a distin- Ruished pioneer citizen of Chicago, the late A. S. O, Sprague, who, with his brother, Albert A., was a powerful civic and business force in the great city in the decade immediately after the fire. Mrs, Sprague, wife of the Democratic nominee, is the nicce of the late Marshall Iield and always has been prominent in social and philanthropic affairs. She is making ion in her speaches husband's candidacy, in fact, calling to her assistance the entire Field connee- tion. which is a potent influence in all that relates to State politics. Mrs. Sprague is an acceptable hostess and the home on the Lake Shore drive is of the roomy, comfontable type, as distinguished ‘from the 100-room pai- aces which surround it. Being per- sonally very popular and much in the limelight, the candidacy of “Al" Sprague has become a social ques- tion as well as a political one. Mr. Sprague and his wife have been iden- tified with all the Field municipal Eifts and have done their bit in vari- ous ways for the Field Museum and for the several branches which re- late to the development of art and s part of its endowment. jri. recently pient of the unique in and aid of she s, hee John . Rockefeller, the re ber of the Fine Arts Academy. He n. if he elects, blossom forth on social and official occasions in its re- plendent uniform, which consists of a claw-hammer coat of dark green velvet, richly embroidered in crossed palm leaves and with designs of the same hue similarly embroidered down the seams, and a cocked hat of hunt- er's green with a long. drooping feather of orange, and a court sword in its venerable gold hilt fashioned in the days of Louix XIV. The Academie »s Beaux Arts, as it is known in France and throughout the world, | holds its sessions in the old Mazarin Palace on the left bank of the Seine, and Mr. Rockefeller's reception has been planned for late October, and will be marked with all the brilliant ceremonial. The honor was awarded to this philanthropic American’ be cause of his munificence in contrib- uting to the fund for restoring the Cathedral of Rheims and repaliring the venerable palace of Versailles. which was suffering from neglect be- cause of the French government's in- ability to bear the expense. This Nation's most eminent architects have received their training from Beaux Arts, and they eagerly took up with other architects the cause of restor- ing France, but the stupendous out- lay attached to the work of the ruined Cathedral of Rheims was a task they could not handle. Mr. Rockefeller gave a million dollars for this fund and about half the amount toward the work at Ver- sailles, and he collected a princely sum among his friends and relatives. Capt. George Bambridge, who is to marry Rudyard Kipling's only daugh- ter, Elsie, is kept busy these days correcting the spelling of his name, for, with few exceptions, the press of the world has made him Bainbridge, whereas he is excessively proud of his old Middlesex patronymic. Capt. Bambridge was the military attache on the staff of Sir Esme Howard when the British Ambassador to this Capital occupied a similar post in Madrid. and he is on such friendly terms with his former chief that he may include a visit to this country on the wedding jaunt. Mr. and Mrs. Kipling are in their beautiful country home, PBatesman, in Sussex, where the wedding will take place, possibly soon after Christmas. But they had intended to revisit old scenes and re- establish ties with old friends in this country before their daughter's ro- mance, the result of a casual visit made to Madrid last Spring, caused a revision of plans. Mrs. Kipling was before her marriage Miss Caroline Starr Balestier of Brattleboro, V. and she has many friends and kins- people in that section and other parts of New England. Like a loyal Ver- monter, she had desired to return to this country and pay homage to the distinguished occupants of the White House, whom she had known in her girlhood and in Mrs. Coolidge’s girl- hood also. When the rush and stress of the wedding is past the distin- guished poct and author and Mrs. Kipling hope to put this cherished intention into execution.
