Jusserand, Ambassador from the French republic and retiring dean of the corps, has been honored more signally that any other member of the diplomatic body resident at the Amer- jcan Capital, ecither past or present, and in more diverse ways. Now comes & special tribute from the sportsmen of the United tes, perhaps the keenest and most enthuslagtic of the | and in M. Jusserand’s prowess on the tennis court has never been questioned, and in the d of his prime he often defeated his dis- tinguished friend President Roose- velt, and this, he once confided to the Chief Magistrate, resulted in great uneasiness for the foreign office. For | in rope it would be against all traditions to defeat the ruler of any nation to which a diplomat had been assigned in any sort of game except ecraft. The scholarly French envoy to Washington is the author of many | books on sports, the best known be- | ing “Sports and Pastimes of Ancient| France.” | This study created a nation-wide | controversy in Britian, since the Am- of the San Mateo Peninsula. Mr. Tobin will come to pay his respects to the President and to the Secretary of State, and will, after a brief stay here, take a quick run to San Fran- clsco, where some personal affairs demands his attention. Mrs. Duval will accompany him and will remain in the San Mateo mansion and_dis- DPense the hospitality at the late Win- ter tournaments in place of her brother. This is her first visit to her own land since the World War, when she went to Paris with her late hus- band, a French banker of the Pa- cific Coast, to aid in the Red Cross work. During the past year she has resided at the American legation at The Hague, and presided over its fre- quent amenities. Cannes, which attracts so many Americans all through the Winter and which now can claim more than 1,500 of Uncle Sam’'s children who own their villas, besides five times that number at hotels and pensions, is making huge preparations for the battle of flowers staged for January 6. Mrs. Harry Lehr and her sister, Mrs. Drexel Dahlgren, are among the prominent Amercian patronesses of the fete and, of course, Harry Lehr, bassador showed by incontestable| documentary evidence that the | anclent and honorabl: game of golf. | to which the lay claim as their | own particula tion, 1s really of | Dutch origin and made its way into | the land of fogs and heather via lhe‘ Molland traders from the Hook. Like- | wise, he proved to the Britons that| their highly-rated national game of | cricket was first played by the French. If anything w needed to prove M. Jusserand's marvelous tal- ents, it would be that he attacked| these strongholds of British sport at | the time when he wa erving in the French embassy at London. at the very beginning of his diplomatic career, and that he did not impair his popularity one whit, though his offi- al duties were much interrupted | answering all the letters from golf | fiends and cricket heroes demanding | | merly with his acknowledged talent for pa- | geantry, is busy with the spectacu- | lar features of the event.

Lady Alan Johnstone, for- | Miss Antoinnette [Pinchot, | daughter of the late James and Mrs Pinchot of this city, who is a resident | of this neighborhood, will be among | the patronesses of the first flower | show, and will have with her a num- | ber of New York and London friends. | Sir Alan Johnstone retired from lhe{ diplomatic corps two years ago and | lives for three-quarters of the year in a somber old chateau which he and ! his wife bought and have modern- ized.

Flynn of Fall River, Mass., has one of the unique shooting preserves to be found in this coun- try, for it is conceded the grandest spot on the Atlantic seaboard for duck and wild geese hunting. Camp Pohogonot, this game preserve com- prises more than 5,000 acres spread over low pine and oak-covered hills and open on to five fresh-water lakes, and this within 10 miles of Marthas Vineyard. Here come the wild geese honking out of Canada, and farther north, and ducks of every known spe- cies—mallards, canvasbacks, teals, shovelbills and redheads—so dear to the eplcure. Wild geese, however, furnish the real excitement, and par- ties of gunners are guests of Mr. Flynn during the entire period of the migration. The blue goose, so rare s to be almost fictional, s a frequent visitor, though not often winged, as to the white Alaskan goose, which seems larger than a swan. Mr. Flynn permits only a certain proportion of the game to be shot, and then whern they take fllght. Sometimes all five lakes are so thickly covered with geese and ducks, they seem like float- ing lIslands. Senator Butler, whose Summer home is not far from this region, often has found needed rest and relaxation at Camp Pohogonot. Mr. Richard Tobin of San Franclsco, United States Minister to The Hague, and his sister and chatelaine, Mrs. Charles Raoul Duval of Paris, will be among the visitors to greet the Presl- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, with the re- anainder of the official world, on Jan- uary 1. Mz Tobin and his sister ar- rived in New York about December 30 to pass Christmas with Mrs. Charles W. Clark, another sister, in Riverside Drive. Mr. Tobin succeeded Mr. Willlam Phillips as minister to Queen Wilhelmina's capital, and this is his first visit home since he took over the diplomatic mission. He is an intimate of former Senator Phelan, and, like him, Is one of the distin- guished bachelors of the golden Coast noted for his abundant and constant Thospitality.

Capt. Ramsay has recently been military attache of the British Embassy in Paris and his| handsome wife chafed under the re- strictions of the arduous social life there, for, despite her efforts to free herself from the eternal red tape of etiquette pertaining to those of royal birth, Lady Patricia found herself the victim of tradition and can only Britain, who has absolutely | | | | in the Western Hemisphere.

British papers have only just recently ceased commenting on various phases of the Prince of Wales' sojourn here in the Autumn. The former Empress of Russia and the unhappy mother of the Czar has formally protested against Cyril's ambition, and so, too, the oldest llving member of the Romanoffs, the gallant commander of Russia’s imperial army during the World War, Grand Duke Nicholas. American diplomats in Europe report that the majority of the royalist press published in various capitals is for Nicholas, and that of Paris, the most numerous and influential in the group, 1s solidly so. It Is pointed out in recent comments that however al- trulstic_were the motives of the Grande Duchess, wife of Cyril, in com- ing to this country, she damaged his cause very materially with the aris- tocrats -of the old regime because it was so flaring a publicity feature. But close students of Russian affairs native and sympathetic outsiders, see no indication that the people of the vast Muscovite empire cares any more for a return of the czarist era than they do to continue the Soviet system. They all predict an all-im- portant change in the next five years, but this points the way to a real republic, such as are established all about the frontiers of old Russia— Foland, -the Baltic States, Czecho- slavakia, .which are dojng extremely well under the new form of govern- ment.

Every- body recalls the battle royal between the Secretary of State and Ruth Hale, who is_the e of Heywood Broun, the well-known author and dramatic critic. Mr. Hughes gave forth the verdict that if Mrs. Heywood Broun wished a passport from his depart- accordance with the customs of a Christian country. Ruth Hale, who is the president of the Lucy Stone League, now S0 strong amongst Americans in London, replied that she recognizes no such person as Mrs. Heywood Broun, that she retained her own identity as Ruth Hale. Con- sequently she received no passport Now, that Helena Normanton, a bril- lant and witty woman, has forced the reluctant American consul to vise her passport, it would appear that the ate Department cannot refuse to its own citizens what Great Britaln de- mands for women domiciled under her protection. An increasing num- ber of women in professional ranks retain their own name, and now the Lucy Stone League proposes that all may be allowed to do 5o, if such be thelr pleasure. The late Senator Watson of Georgia awned one of the finest classic libra- ries in the South, more than 10,000 cholce volumes, and this collection has recently been acquired by Mr. Uly C. Thompson of Miami, Fla, who has lately ‘removed his treasures to his villa'at the beach. These books deal exclusively with history, and begin- ning at the dawn of the ages the history of every nation of the world is treated by its best scholars. Sen- ator Watson wrote a wonderful his- tory, his masterpiece, called “The Story of France,” and so accurate and complete was this work that the French government about 10 years ago ordered it translatéd as a text book for the highest grade of its public schools. Mr. Thompson was a close friend of the fiery Georgian and spent many happy days in his 1ibrary. He had been a guest just be- fore “The Story of France” was writ- ten, all in longhand. To accomplish his great task without interruption, Senator Watson moved his great li- brary to a lonely farmhouse which he owned in_central Georgia and sur- rounded it with flerce dogs and many negro watchmen. The work. was com- pleted In less than six weeks and this. manuscript is one of the real treasures of the Watson library.
