SOCTETY. SOCIETY. THE SUNDAY' STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TJANUARY 7, 1925-PART 2. From North Carolina The collection created a furore, and S0, too, the collection of children who make up the Gould and Wainwright connection. The young artist is not yet 24, and his studies have been rather desultory and mot with an idea of brushing shoulders with profes- sionuls. He is the nephew of Repre- sentative Wainwright, formerly as-' the port_for all this part of Maryland. Mr. Wilson inherited the weapons to- gether with an odd assortment of the firearms in use when Decatur waged his gallant war against the Algerian pirates and out of which resulted the controversy with Barron which caused his death. Barron had lost his ship, the Chesapeake, to the British and he had forfelted his standing In the Navy, and Decatur steadily fought his reassignment. Both Decatur and Bar- ron were very near-sighted, and the duel, fatal to the admiral and inflict- ing wounds from which his adversary ultimately dled, was at only eight paces distant. The pistols, now at the Leland Stanford Museum, are al- ways surrounded by throngs of inter- ested observers, and are terrific look- ing affairs, and at eight paces deadly as a small cannon. Mr. Wilson, the donor of the pistols, proposes to visit Bladensburg in the opening Spring and take photographs of the spot as it is today. sistant Secretary of War, and had charge of the immense interests of his family “in the Street” when he renounced high finance for art, Governors Island, is known through- out the martial world as “Cromwell in khaki” He looks as though he had stepped out of the era when the grim Puritan had the eyes of Europs cen- tered on him and he walks with the same masterful stride.

Mr. Rodman Wanamaker, the only surviving son of the late John Wan- amaker, has within the past week taken possession of his yacht Nirvana, which in the mechanical sense is the last word in such craft and which he had built as a quiet home afloat. Mr. Wanamaker intends to take the in- side route to Miami on this floating pelaco and to live on it during a four-month sojourn in that city of delights. He wlill spend as much time ashore as he wishes and then steam out into some of the adjacent bayous and anchor when he desires undlis- turbed solitude. Mr. Wanamaker's health is far from robust and he can endure just a minimum of soclal ex- citement. When he returns to his Philadelphia home, the Nirvana will be berthed In a secluded nook of the Schuylkill River, accessible by a good motor road, and will thus furnish a refuge to her owner when pressed by business cares or undue social ac- tivity.

St. Petersburg, which has a sizable Winter popula- tion from this city, has been going through a craze of lawn bowling, and this game was in high favor all Christmas day, and the municipal parks for this diversion were like the golf courses about Washington during Summer.

Miss Edith Gould, has lately shaken Wall Street traditions to their center by giving up his career as a broker and entering whole-heartedly into the realms of art. Mr. Wainwright has established a charming studio and speclalizes in miniaturés. He has proved to the income tax au- thorities that where as a broker he could count on $4,000 annually, as & wielder of the brush he makes four times that amount. He had quite a vogue as & miniaturist before he had the courage to commit his fate to art alone and had added sos considerably to the family exchequer by painting on ivory the various lovely members of his family and of his wife's that his leap into fame is not unexpected. Mr. Wainwright had on exhibition ip a Fifth avenus gallery just before Christmas miniatures of all the daughters of the late George Gould and his wife, Edith Kingdon; Lady Decies, Mrs. Anthony Drexel, jr., and Henry C. Bishop, 3d, and his with their small son Stuyvesant. John Scott was a member of Con- gress from Richmond, Va, when Commodore Barron killed Admiral Stephen Decatur in that duel outside of Bladensburg.
