John Franci Amherst Cecil and his wife, who was Miss Cornelia Vanderbilt, could not have had more colorful christening festivities had he been born in the Old World castles of cither Amhersis or Cecils. This im- portant voungster renounced the devil and all his wi and pomps, of course, by proxy, in All Souls hurch, where his parents had been iuarried, and the chief godmother w P'rincess Beatrice of Battenbur vith Miss Rachel Strong of Cleve ind acting in her place. The Henry n the name is for the late Prince Henry of Battenburg, the intimate iriend of Mr. Cecil and his chum in ollege and in the army. The George is for his maternal grandfather and likewise the Vanderbilt. The religiou ceremony took place a little after o'clock and then a buffet supper w. erved for about 300 guests in Bilt more House, while at the same time the tenantry of the vast estate sat down to a similar supper served in large recreation hall on the zrounds. As soon as it was ! cross the wide esplanade blazed ‘orth in large electrically lighted let {ers, “Welcome, Young George!” and tor three hours there were set pieces of bouquets, flags and fountain lighting up the scene while the merry-making went on and light re- ireshments were served during the cntlre evening. It was, with per- haps a half dozen exceptions, a party composed of the Biltmore neighbors and friends, many from Ashevill and from adjacent estates. Youn Vanderbilt, as he is to be called though this will naturally be short- ened into “Van” long before he reaches the school age, is in the care of a fine ruddy-complexioned English | nurse, the same who watched over the infancy of the Hon. John Fran \mherst Cecil and his numerous Lrothers and sisters. The Earl of Lathom, who is passing the Spring in New York, and who has ome very quietly into Washington several times and renewed friendshlp here, is about to produce play, published under a nom de plume, 1nd he is awalting the outcome of his venture. The earl is not in the most robust health, the result of a painful wound during the Dardanelles cam- paign, and he has sold all agricultural interests in England and is going in for a spdentary literary carcer. He has so carefully guarded his assumed name, which he has been using in his visits to Washington and Chicago, that no one save a few know it or where his play is to appear in New York, though the offerings of all new candi lates in the line of drama are being -arefully watched. The earl is the first cousin of the former Ambassador from Italy, Prince Gelasio Caetani, and he inherited the title when less than 15 years of age. He has a large fortune, which he devotes principally o aiding impecunious playwright and authors, though alway: volved and anon: s been for years identified with the voung literary group in London, and is a close friend of Prince and Prin- cess Antoine Bibe: It is doubtful if Senator and Mrs Walter E. Edge, who have just return ed from a brief visit to ISurope and who took a run down into the lovely country about found a more delightful retreat than their own villa in Ventnor, beyond Atlantic City. Senator Edge has there created a marvelous home and garden. A sunken effect is within plain view of saunterers along the beach and can be enjoyed by all, while an ornate wall, which seems part of the house, shields an Italian garden in perfect privacy. The Edge villa is partly Flor- entine and as to its lines might be among the solemn-looking ilex trees and Lombardy poplars on the hills along the Arno. But there is a wide veranda on the ocean side, and a few kG away, the waves run back and This was part | present | During his recent visit | ties of | the : Mediterranean, | beach. There are pergolas which will, within a week or two, make a bower of pink and crimson, and there are courts with almost cloistral effect ex- cept for the cheery effect of gay flow ers, like petunias, scarlet and white geraniums and flashes of poppy in among the vari-colored irls. Spring comes early on this sunny part of the ntic coast, and the sunken garden already boasted its peonies and its columbine, while the earliest of the climbing roses on the south side show their colors through the partially opened buds. There are a playground nd a big sand pile for little Miss Sdge, now having attained the dignity of 2 years, under the wall, and it is the ideal spot for any youngster to &row strong and well and certainly a beautiful place for the grown-ups. Miss Sarah Livingston Jay, who is the far-off descendant of the first Chief Justice and a cousin of Mr. | Peter Augustus Jay, a well known member of the American forelgn | service, fs among the serious malds of Gotham. and though she made a sort of halfway debut, she Is finish- < her course at Bryn Mawr, and | her recently announced engagement to Arthur Middleton Hughes will not followed by a wedding until some ne next Autumn. Miss Jay is like- wise a granddaughter many genera- tions removed of Philip Schuyler Liv- ingston and she is always prominent in the historic pag so frequently given in New York for charity. But | she is one of the pillars and supports of the Junior League and of the Girl “couts und she has visited Washing- ton many times in behalf of both these favorite crusades. Young Mr. Hughes, a former student at Prince- ton, son of that popular divine, Rev. Stanley C. Hughes, rector of Trinity Church in Newport, though of upper New York State. is now a denizen of the big city, and is practicing law. He too leans toward historical inves- tigations, as does his flancee, and he was an aid in the memorable cele- | bration of the Huguenots descend- ants last year.

Mr. Wichfeld, who fs the nephew of the Danish minister, M. Constantin Brun, was an attache of the Danish legation here when he married the opulent Mrs. Clarence Moore, who had been Miss Mabelle Swift ‘of the Chicago-Boston family. Mr. Moore, who was a victim of the Titanic, left four sons, Preston, Jas per, Clarence and Lloyd, and they are | being very carofully ~educated in | England and will be sent to study on he continent when they have com- pleted their university education in Cambridge. Mr. Wichfeld has a quasi-connection with the Danish | legation of London and also is in busi | ness in the British metropolis. Mrs. “ichfeld is most loyally American and she intends her sons to study a pro- fession in this country. FPreston and | Jasper, now 21 and 20 years old, | | respectively, both show a preference” for the foreign Mrs. Wichfeld will in about a reopen her home on Massach avenue here in order that these boys may have an opportunity to prepare for’ the examinations for the School | of Foreign Service recently established by the State Department. Meantime, | the estate of Lord Alington will serve as an all-the-vear-round home for Mr. | Wichfeld and the younger sons. It is about two hours from London and will no_doubt be the -scene of much | hospitality to visiting Americans this | coming Summer. | Washington will .always take a cordial interest in the fortunes of the fon. Ronald Lindsay, who began his diplomatic career as undersecretary | of the British embassy here, and who | has climbed steadily upward. He re- | cently was named Ambassador to | Constantinople. Mr. Lindsay married | one of the belles of the Capital, rtha Cameron, daughter of the | statesman, Don Cameron of Pennsyl- | vania, and of Elizabeth Sherman of Ohio.” Mrs. Cameron died 8 years o, and last Winter the British Am bassador to Turkey married the first | cousin of_his deceased lady, Elizabeth Serman Hoyt, daughter of the late Colgate Hoyt of New York. The cousins were remarkably alike in per- son and characteristics, and the ro- mance awakened the sympathy of a wide circle of friends. Mr. Lindsay is a_member of one of the oldest and most_illustrious families in the Brit- |ish Isles. He is the fifth son of the twenty-sixth Earl of Crawford, and has been in the diplomatic service since leaving Oxford 30 years ago. irs. Cameron is a charming hostess and has entertained in the lovely garden she has established in the new British embassy park the un- veiled ladles of Turkish society, giv- ing teas, musicals and having lec- ures and talks on art, just as she would_in her own beautiful home in New York City. | | { Commendatore Luigi Parpagliolo, who is one of the great Italian au. | thorities on garden lore, has placed {the Garden Club of America under a | heavy debt by offering the perfected | organization of his office to collabo- rate with it in promoting the study of | Italian garden art. This is to be done by the practical means of visits to the 500 monumental villas which | though for the greater part woned | privately are vet regarded- by the| i government as national assets and are under the supervision of Commenda- tore Parpagliolo, who is a director of the department’ of fine arts. Mrs. Harold Pratt and the various offi- clals of the Garden Club of America | will soon announce a_committee who will examine these villas under the di- rection of the kindly official, and who will likewise have the privilege of us- ing his great library, in which the his- |toric gardens of Ttaly are presented { most beautifully in pictures and also in scaled maps. More than 5,000 mem- bers of the Garden Club of America igned the request to this eminent apostle of floriculture, and it is the hope of the officers that, following | their visit and intensive study under his direction, the commendatore may be induced to come to this country and see the results of the crusade. It was mainly through the efforts of this di- rector of fine arts that the Italian government within the past year is- sued a list of the villas which through their splendor, their historic associa- | tions and their general presentation of a phase of art, were registered as na- tional property to prevent their be-, ing changed or neglected by their own- ers. In round numbers there are 508 | of such and they extend from the Ger- ! man and Swiss border in Lombardy to lma end of the peninsula south of Naples and contain the greatest aggre- | marked | SN@ service. | ! give fair promise of doing so. that they might prove of great value in medicine, but, like many other discoveries, it was several years be- fore they became of much practical use. Now they are considered almost indispensable and their use has been extended to nearly every branch of medical practice. X-rays depend for their value upon their ability to register on a photo- graphic film or fluorescent screen the ing densities of the structures through which they pass. They do jnot depict the organs and tissucs of the body as they appear when dis- sected. but they do portray with amaz- ing clearness their comparative densi- ties. Bones, being much more dense then the surrounding flesh, intercept more of the rays. For this reason bones are shown more distinctly than any of the other structures of the body. Hence X:rays are of great value in the diagnosis of diseases and injuries of the skeleton and for the location of foreign substances which have a greater density than the tis- sues in which they are lodged. hows Diseased Tissue. There are also many diseases of the fleshy parts of the entire body which effect density In such a way as to make diseased tissue readily recog- nizable by X-ray examination. The size, position and movements of the heart are readily observed, and en- largements of some of the arteries, known as aneurysms, can also be demonstrated. Hardening of the ar teries which has progressed to a stage where deposits of lime in them has occurred can also be shown. The lungs are soft, spongy struc- tures, and when normal are quite translucent to the rays. When they are diseased, however, they are apt to become more or less solidified, and the tion, size and other charac- teristics of them solidified areas can be seen. The 's _contribute a great deal to our knowledge of tu- berculosis, pneumonia and other dis eases of the lungs, and also of the | — e gation of magnificent country seats in the world. Mrs. Charles Burnett, wife of Capt. Burnett, who was for so many 8 naval attache in Tokio, has received nearly all the literary honors which the Japanese government can bestow for her marvelous mastery of the language and its intricate method of poes Mrs. Burnett has achleved what has never been accomplished by an American before—she has learned the language of Japan in the academic and practical sense and she has writ- ten some exquisite prose poems and has translated some of the classics from the Nipponese royal library. She is an unusually attractive person and very often is seen in the drawing room of Mme. Matsudaira and of the other ladles connected with the embassy. Living so long in the Orient, Mrs. Burnett has become attached to for- eign ways and has taken up the west- ern domestic customs rather reluc- tantly. She is partial to having small companis of friends served in the ways which are familiar in Tokio and all through the {slands thereabout. Mrs. Burnett has several volumes of Japanese poetry, and sometimes she is lured into reading some of her work to those few in Washington who un- derstand this flower: language. Mrs. Francis B. Biddle and her sis- ter, Miss Cornelia Van Auken Chapin of New York, are among the organiz- of a delightful club called the which is a_spirited and con- Wway in which the younger ration has answered the appeals of the leaders of Gotham to organize social life again on the lines lald down by the late Ward McAllister. The: two ladies descend from the and most distinguished fami- lies of Manhattan, and, besides pos- sessing good blood. many of thelr an- cestors were founders of New York in the cultured and intellectual sig- nificance. ~Any ‘return to the “four hundreds” of the McAllister time and their descendants would necessarily include them on several counts. But the Snarks have been organized with- out the least regard to social lists in certain approved publications or the family trees of the Knickerbockers or British and other immigrants. They are chosen because they are brainy and because they can talk intelligently on the questions of the day and have accomplished something worthy in the literary, artistic or musical line, or Every Snark, to retain membership in good standing, must dance well, play some sort of musical instrument in more than the ordinary way; must make a rousing public speech, or must have some accomplishment in the writing line. There are soon to be tryouts of the dramatic efforts of the young people, of course behind closed doors. Miss Chapin, one of the founders of the club, recently had a oneact comedy performed, “The Ladies of Bayeaux,” with admirable success. The Snarks will also have a purely social side, and will give dinings, dances and afternoon levees next sea- son, when they are more closely knit into organization. Mr. and Mrs. Drelincourt Martin of Chicago, but now citizens of the world, have just translated a masterpiece in Rumanian dramatic art, “Eyes in the Dark,” and they are to have it,pro-| duced in some of the Little Theaters during the Summer, possibly in Chi- cago, where charming theater weather prevails until mid-August. Though Rumania has a_venerable and virile literature, the World War may be said to have introduced it to all ex- cept to the most scholarly of Ameri- cans and this too may be remarked of other nations which have assumed a large importance since the treaty of Versallles. Mme. Wroblewska, wife jof the Minister from Poland, often has regretted that none of the charming Polish fairy tales or its folk lore in general §s known even superficially in this country, and_that eminent Bul- garlan scholar, Dr. Panaretoff, fre- quently expresses astonfshment that Americans with their well developed love of dramatic prose and poetry have not skimmed the surface of that rich literature in his native tongue. This Rumanian drama, “Eyes in the Dark” will be followed by other trans- lations by Mr. and Mrs. Martin, who are making a special study of this language and its spirited dramatic literature. Prince Bibesco is much interested in the venture, for while he has many plays to his credit he has written entirely in English and French and not in Rumanian.
