Once a month -there is a book -exhibit and practically the entire Westbury sec tion in its juvenile population attends and passes a happy half holiday in this beautiful memorial library. Mrs. Bacon has been a valuable member of the international committee which is providing children libraries in France and other parts of Europe. ‘The Minister from Switzerland, Mr. Peter, s making an extensive tour of Southern California and is receiving C., APRIL 26, ‘much attention In the colonies of his country people which are numerous in this section. Five years ago Dr. Peter and his wife visited the Swiss along the northern coast of the Pacific, where they maintain flourish- ing farms and manufacture delicious cheese. Despite the tendency of the Amerfcan Nation to hurry, the Swiss farmers of Oregon and Washington adhere to the leisurely ways of their forefathers, and, in consequence, the cheese which is purchased in this re- glon more closely resembles that which comes from the Helvetian re- public than any other of native origin. Along the southern Pacific, as in the Lake Geneva section, the Swiss immi- grants raise grapes and olives and their estates are characterized by neatness and by the intensive culti- vation which is practiced universally in the tiny mountain republic. Dr. and Mme. Peter have always shown @ sympathetic interest in these adopted children of the United States who still cling to the old Swiss tra- ditions and whose love of home does not interfere with their being useful and loyal citizens of this country. They have, in the six years since they came to Washington, passed a few months each year visiting those regions where the Swiss are a major part of the population. They spent one Summer in Michigan and Wis- consin, parts of which resemble Switz- erland 80 strongly as to suggest a new Helvetia. When Mme. Matsudaira. wife of the Ambassador from the Nipponese court, received guests at a recent afternoon reception in the picturesque native costume of Japan, flowered silk kimono, soft sandals and richly em. broidered skirts, she revived a cus tom in the Japanese embassy which had seemingly departed from Wash- ington, during the past 20 years. It is a guarter of a century since Di Kogoro Takahira was envoy from Japan and Mme. Takahira wore the native robes habitually when indoors and very often when on promenade. After her departure the ladies who were part of the diplomatic_establish ment of the Flowery Kingdom were patterns of fashion after the Parisia model, and this was in a special wa true of the Viscountess Chinda and Baroness Uchida. A daintler figure than the present lady of the Japanese embassy in her flowing robes could not be imagined and many of her guests sighed that their customs com- pelled such an involved toilet. That she “should wear anything but her native costume seems astonishing, for there are few ways for women to dress which combine such beauty. comfort and appropriateness as the Japanese tradition has it. Mme. Mat sudaira set another excellent examp! t her charming at-home, and that was 1o have each guest sit on a low sofa_beside her and exchange greet 16th St. Mansions 16th and R Sts. —have just completed ex tensive interior redecorations which make this well-known hotel apartment the attractive in this city. most The exquisite draperies in the lobby were installed by the— Lansburgh Interior Decorating Co. 729 11th St. Julius Lansburgh, Pres. & Treas.

Dr. Willilam Jardine, the Secretary of Agriculture, is among the new- comers who is diseovering Washing- ton and who is most enthusiastic over various aspects which the resident very calmly accepts. Naturally Dr. Jardine \s enjoying the Japanese cherry blossoms and every morning before he goes to his desk he takes a spin along the river front, lingering Just now along the banks immediately below the Lincoln Memorial, where the double pink flowers are riotous. But all around the main building of the Department of Agriculture there are pansies seemingly by the hun- dreds of thousands, planted in round beds, in squares, along a border which is five feet across and about 25 long, and with three of such, there are ob- longs edged with grass and triangles where .the flower of thought lifts its shining face in every color known to flowers, and the Secretary would not be the lover of growing things that he is if this magnificent spectacle did not claim almost worshipful at- tention. He often stands near the main pansy bed and seemingly re- ceives strength and inspiration for the daily grind. Through his open windows the perfume of the flowers is wafted to him, and this is surely an ideal condition under which to perform one's duties. Dr. Jardine is finding Washington, garbed in its Spring flower dress, the most delight- ful city of his knowledge, and he re- joices that on every tongue during the past 10 days he has heard the pansies praised with the same zeal and devotion as the cherry blossoms recelve. Indeed, few of the thousands of motorists who rode along the river drives to admire the wondrous blos- soms from Japan failed to take their way afterward to the Agricultural Department and pay their homage to the pansies. Miss Mary Lanier of Greenwich. Conn., has evolved a novel idea for raising funds for the thousand and one worthy causes which engage the juvenile world, from the Junior League actdvities to the street parties gi for civic charities. Miss Lanier and alout 20 girl friends have formed a club which they call the Beehive, and they are ready to undertake nuch a tremendous enterprise as pasting numberrs_on thousands of chairs for the outdoor concerts—of course, at so much per 1,000, to increase their own treasury and the clubs which they habitually sustain. They like wise took over numbering the seats for the Gigli musical held in the big armory at Greenwich for the Com muntty House bullding fund, and they will ‘prepare posters for outdoor fes- tivals and distribute the same where they will be most effective. The Bee- hivers formerly pald a big sum com mercially whenever they wanted to get up a festival, so they have gone into the business themselves and with excellent success. -Their tags are quite distinctive and invariably bring twice the sum as commonplace offer. ings used in years past, their programs are artistic and they evolved a unique and fascinating way to gather funds which will undoubtedly find many imitators in other cities where the Junior League, the Girl Scouts and others are active.
