Bne of the happiest evenings which the Marquis of Aberdeen and Temair passed in this country during the re- cent visit which he and the marchion esg made to attend the quinquennial of the Internati Council of Women was his last . when he had is- sued an invitation through the Port Society of New York to the men of the merchant marine then in New York City and nearby harbors. His time being limited, the genial nobleman asked the men to meet him only for @ cordial handshake, for, not being position to proffer the traditional sail- ors' grog, with the acknowledged su- perstitions of the sea, he feared to drink toasts in the Volsteadian mix- tures, and no set speeches or other entertainment had been prepared. There was an overwhelming response and the guests seemed quite well pleased with excellent strong coffee and the most tempting array of sand- wiches and salads, which the officers of the Port Society had provided in almost reckless abundance and as a surprise to Lord and Lady Aberdeen. The marquis addressed his guests and told that his elder brother, the late ‘s |to New York to question Capt. Wil- !

As he had at one time complete supervision of the mar- velous collection of flags and stand- ards which the French government houses in the church on the Champs Elysee, where the tomb of Napoleon in the crypt, this French v was intensely interested in the collec- tion which has been placed in the beautiful chapel of the milt vation dedicated to St. George the Centurion. One large silk flag which withstands the uges Is that which was formerly the colors of the Royal American Regiment, 60th Foot Sol- diery, captured by the Patriotic Army The Chinese flags captured the Boxer rebellion make a glorious patch of color in the shadowy chapel, and what interested the mar- quis very much were two flags pre- sented by the Count de Rochambeau and which he carried during the march to join forces with Washington at Yorktown.

M Washington enjoyéd her experience much and was the guest of honor at an impromptu ceremony when the party reached the great monument which marks the spot where the sword of the Marquis of Cornwallis was recieved in behalf of Gen. Washington by the aide of the Count de Rochambeau. Washingtonians of the older day are grieved to hear from Paris of the death of the gallant Duke Francis de la Rochefoucauld, who some 30 years ago. married one of the love- liest belles of the Capital, Mattie Mitchell, daughter of the Senator from Oregon. Holding one of the most an- cient and honorable titles in France, the duke had also a vast fortune and a domain which had been in the fam- ily since his ancestor accompanied |St. Louis of France to the crusades. |Rather late in their married life the |duke and his lovely American wife had one son, a bonny lad who was killed in a hunting accident, a tragedy which so darkened the Itves of his parents that they closed their splen did Paris home and have since lived in almost utter seclusion in_the old Chateau de la Rochefoucauld, near { Angouleme. The duke was aliled to practically half of the nobility of Eu- {rope and to many royal lines and these will all be plunged into mourn- ing by his passing. He had been in excellent health until a month ago and his death' was totally unexpected. Most of his fortune and all his landed estate pass to his brother, Duke Ga. briel de la Rouchefoucauld, who has several sons, the elder of whom, now Count Liancourt, has an American wife. The widowed duchess will re- side principally in a fine old dower house which her late husband set aside for her and which is situated most romantically near Surnesnes, on the Seine, 15 miles from Paris. Miss Mary F nger, daughter of Col. Willlam Cary Sanger, and who, with his wife and daughter, lived in { Washington during the McKinley- Roosevelt regime, showed a touch of sentiment in electing_to cross the Hudson from New York City to Brooklyn and be married to Mr. Fred- erick W. Simonds in the. old fvy- |covered Grace Church, of which her | father was for so many years a ves- tryman. Miss Sanger's grandfather, the late Henry Sanger, had been a vestryman of this church also and the cleansing water of baptism had been poured on her head from a fount which the elder Sanger had donated. The family had for 150 years a close assocfation with Brooklyn Heights, where Grace Church is situated, and their mansion was one of the first to George M. Osborne, had run away from home at a tender age and en- listed as a common seaman under an American master, Capt.

Mr. Simonds is the son of the late Henry Simonds of New York and his mother was Miss Victorine du Pont of Wilmington, Del. The wedding is scheduled for June 10. The powers which rule Newport are tossing a controversial ball to the historians in boldly caliing the splen did new hotel in that queen of re- sorts the Viking, and calmly ac- cepting the legend that what i now Rhode Island was the vinland of the Norse. The romantica inclined pin their faith on Longfellow, who in *““The Skeleton in Armor” states his belief that the Norseman left the old stone mill in Truro Park, Newport, behind him as evidence of his occup: tion three centuries before Columbus crossed the ocean. But the historians gravely point to the written word of Benedict Arnold, the colonial governor of Rhode Island from 1657, when he succeeded Roger Williams, until his death in 1678. Gov. Arnold, who describes this picturesque old ruin in his _will, ma disposition of as “my stone-built wind-mill on my estate.” It seems quite well authen- ticated that both Norse and Irishmen crossed the ocean and possibly came as far down from Newfoundland as Newport and its environs, but neither Norse nor Gaels built the wind-mill which was the prop on which th evidence of Norse exploration principally founded.
