10 Tales of Well SOCIETY. Known Folk In Soci_al fll_d Official Life Locating President's Su Court” Makes North S mmer Home at “"White hore of Massachusetts Popular Rest P]GCC. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Not since pre-war has the North Shore of M setts proved s0 alluring to the diplomatic corps and society in Washington. it is believed that the presi dential sojourn at \White Court has decided many in their choice, and July 4 will see more foreign flags ing over Summer embassies than since 1914, when four ambassadors were living in our near Manchester, | and many lesser diplomatists had homes all up and down the North Shore from Nahant to Gloucester. The Ttallan Ambassador, who is living in a half-finished and spa furnished emb: has secured a pleasant vi at Prides Crossing and will, with Signora di Martino, occupy it from the last week of June. The large staff of the embassy will find quarters near: by The German Ambassador and ‘some members of his staff will keep bachelor hall in Magnolia, as th “baroness sailed Tuesday of last weel for her home in Germany, accom panied by her small daughter, Edith She will return in September and will spend a few weeks at the resort. Mr nd Mrs. Henry Getty Chilton will be at Beverly, and the Chilean Ambassa- Sdor and Senora Mathieu will spend July and August near Gloucester. All of which means a gay time for the Zyounger contingent. The British ~bachelors, recently reinforced by Mr. Leander McCormick, are seeking a suitable domicile near the embas: Summer quarters at Beverly, and as there are a large number of choice villas for rent they will undoubtedly Zhave a home ready before Mr. Chilton, -British charge d'affaires during the wbsence of Sir Esme Howard, moves his offices and residence there. Naturally Two the Argentinian | -and the are planning long “motor trips in Uncle Sam's domain, to +begin about the lust week of June. - Although Dr. Pueyrredon been in ~Washington for more than a year, in “the official sense, he courts only & Zfew months’ actual residence, for he “was summoned to Buenos Aires on “public business soon after presefiting Pis credentials to the President, and Fe was absent until a few weeks ago. With 3 Pueyrredon and Zthe older and son, lhe‘ ! Ambassador expects to travel parallel ‘to the Canadian Pacific lines s through the Northwest and Can ada. to camp in the Yellowstone, and to make the memorable journey from Washington State to the Me: can border down the Pacific highway. The return will be through the won- derful mountain region which leads from California _through Coloradu eastward. ne French Ambassador will make a shorter trip and will not be accompanied by hie family, they being quite content to end the Sum- mer at home, varied by short journe: to the mountains and close seashore : resorts. But M. Daeschner hopes to .complish the Yellowstone, for he nowledges to a longing, inspired in his early boyhood, to see that marvelous spot. Considering his brief sojourn in Washington, M. Daeschner and his family have made a record for traveling and have been as far] * west as St. Louls on missions dealing : with French amity for this country. David Cecil, Lord Burghley, who arrived in this country a few weeks ago to take part in the sports car- nival of the University of Pennsylva- nia, is the champion sprinter of Cam- bridge and can cover his chest with . medals and fill a large buffet with his . silver cups. Unmarried and reported “ 10 be heartfree, he is eldest son and i heir of the Marquis of Exeter, the rand almoner of the British Crown. This nobleman is the chief of the his- toric house of Cecil, though popular opinion has assigned it to the Marquis ‘of Salisbury, who, however, is de- scended from a younger or cadet line of the House of Cecil, founded by the “ renowned statesman of the Elizabe- ! than era. Young David Cecil, who Is % the first cousin of Mr. John Francis * Amherst Cecil, who married Miss Cor- nelia Vanderbilt, will in course of time, 1f he lives, be chieftain of the : oldest branch, and a grandson many ! times removed of that Cecil whom Tennyson has immortalized in the ex- «quisite poem, “The Lord of Burleigh,” and who wed the humble innkeeper’s daughter incognito, only to have her " droop and die of the “burden of the : honor” of being Lady Burleigh. The * present Lord Burghley will visit his elatives at Biltmore when he has filled his athletic engagements and * will probably remain in this country I for some weeks, going to Newport and to the Murray Bay colony where he also has friends and relatives. Americans who are clamoring to got good quarters in Venice and at the 1.1d6 must be up betimes to obtain anything desirable. The Lido, by far the mosg colorful and gayest bathing vesort in Italy or in all of Europe, it * now seems, has lifted all bans from sea sports and makes not the slight est attempt to censor either surf suits or their display on the sands or in ! promenade. Seemingly thousands of Americans are at the Lido and the ! fascination of the place appeals to the staidest citizen of Uncle Sam broad for the Summer. Where Atlantic City has its beauty parades only in the Autumn, the Lido has them dally and features beauties from - every part of the world. The one- I plece bathing costume seemed mold- ‘ed to the form is much in evidence, Ihut it is customary for the ladies to Igo to the water wrapped in volumi- : nous capes which they drop into the ! hands of a waiting maid, but all dis- ‘pense with the wrap when they re- * turn from the water and flash through the lands: like radiant nymphs. The Ame ssador and Mrs Henry Fletcher, who are having their living quarters in the splendid Pa ospigliosi touched up a_bit, ing a brief stay at the Lido e tea parties for their Amer- fcan friends almost daily in the +cortile of the beach hotel. The royal Italian fleet is making its usual visit to the Lido and this makes an added attraction for American travelers. :The Duke of the Abruzzi, so many Iyears a member of the Adriatic _sec- «tion, is not with the fleet this Sum- mer but is hunting big game in Asia. Mrs. George Peabody Wetmore and Miss BEdith and Miss Maude K. Wet- more, who are spending this month ;at Hotel Curtis in_ Lenox, were Iamong the hundreds of invited guests | ipresent last Tuesday at the ball i which was the official opening of the inew Country Club_ at Pittsfield. A “handsome ballroom has recently been ‘added to the venerable mansion, which is now the club home, and .which was built in 1785 by Henry van Schaick, a wealthy Federalist of Al- any. who had acquired land for Mrs. Abby Mutchler ‘—formerly with Woodward & Loth- rop and the Shingle Shoppe, is now :with the : Norma Beauty Shop | On P Street Below Dupont Circle :—where she will be glad to see her | Morgan, vatriotic services in the beautiful hills of Massachusetts. The dining room of the mansion has been left practically as it was when the aristo- crat, Knickerbocker, held high court for the gentry. There is & great stone mantelpiece with insets in the chimney far baking and here Lady van Schaick kept her dishes steam- ing hot for the serving and had many of them prepared right in sight of the guests at the massive old table which had come from Amsterdam. One of the interesting things is the pen where | runaway slaves were kept after being captured and it is still a shuddering place, though now its grimness is lightened by soft lights and comfort- able benches very convenient for the tired dancers. The latticed window is framed in lignum vitae wood, the hardest known, and it had become firm as iron in the passing centuries. The sentimental who try to carve their initials on the lattice have their nives dulled and broken without making a_scratch. Mrs. D. Percy Mrs. John Stewart McLen- nan and Miss Margaret McLennean, Irs. Frederic Goodrich Crane and Miss Rosemary Crane and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Gilbert Colt awd Miss Priscilla_Colt were among the guests at the Pittsfield ball. The late Marcus Ward, who left $5,000,000 to provide a comfortable club home for respectable widowers and bachelors, had a fine sense of humor. For in the instrument through which he made this novel benefaction he paid fervent tribute to the pleasures of a well conducted home for a single man and contrasted such a lot with the usual lonely neg- lected male without a woman or kindly relative to look after hisneeds. Various of Mr. Ward's relatives have inly tried to break his will and the se has gone through all the courts in the past five years. But now the Supreme Court has upheld his testa- ment and the trustees of the estate, John O. H. Pitney and John R. Hardin of New Jersey, have pur. chased a 10-acre tract of land on the high ridge above Maplewood and work on the building will begin in the next few weeks. Every man ad- mitted must deposit with the man- agement $500 which will be placed at interest and the proceeds distributed monthly to purchase tobacco or any small luxury. Otherwise everything is to be furnished. Mr. Ward, who had lived almost all his life in New- ark, N. J., and was a manufacturer of that city, had made his home dur- ing his declining years at the Essex Club and to it he left a handsome portrait of himself and a fine general I'brary. The Minister from Honduras, Senor Luls Bogran, has been much inter- ested in the controversies which rage with more or less warmth as occasion demands about the maiden name and married name of women and the proper use of the same. Senor Bogran, who is a semi-Amerlcan_in that he was educated here and has spent many, vears in various posts, wonders that the Spanish way of solving this .problem is not put into effect. A Spaniard, at home as in the colonies, always places his mother’s name after his own, sometimes the “y,” equivalent to “and” in English, but this to te bewilderment of most Americans, who naturally take the last as the surname. Still not only does the wife among the Spanish re- tain' her identity, but it is_carried along with her children. When 8 married couple have children they form a mew line, and the name of the mother equally with that of the father is carried by each child, so that geneology, so difficult in this country, is easy and exact among the Latins of Iberian blood. Senor Bogran points out that his small son is the twelfth Luis in male descent, but instead of jr. or 2d, 3d, etc., of local custom, each one of these bearers of the name is distinguished by that of his mother, or when the names are alike, a8 often happens, by some ®utstanding family name in’ her line. It seems a simple adjustment, as the Latin Americans tell it, for 'a woman after marriage continues to hold her name, especi- ally in the social sense and- among her friends. In the case of the wife of the Honduran envoy, she is always recognized as Maria Cristina Fortin, who is the wife of Senor Luls Bogran. Hill Crest, the magnificent 200-acre country seat established in West- chester County, N. Y., by the late William A. Read, was sold recently to the Progress Club of New York, which proposes to strengthen its hold on the younger members by a golf: course and unlimited swimming facilities. But the passing of this sumptuous estate, with its fine old Tudor mansion set in a park of more than fifty acres, abundantly wooded, and with a fringe of flower gardens and sunken places given over to aquatic plants, has caused profound regret among neighboring property owners. Many lament that it is not possible in this country to invoke the laws of primogeniture and make it incumbent on the oldest son of a man who creates a fine country seat to keep the same in proper order. For so many old estates in rural New York have been sold under the ham- mer, and usually to suburban clubs, that it seems the inevitable that if a man leaves more than one heir, none wish to spend a portion of the fncome in maintaining the country seat. Hill Crest will probably fare better than any of the surrounding estates, for the golf course lies in rolling open country and can be almost indefi- nitely extended without spoiliag the general contour. But many regret that the majority of lily pools will be turned into swimming pools, which is, of course, more practical for a club. Miss Jean Roosevelt, who last week married her cousin, Philip J. Roose- velt, is the niece of Mr. Robert Roose- velt of this city and granddaughter of the late Robert B. Roosevelt, who was an outstanding Democrat in the fam- ily councils as many of the name are Republicans. This Robert Roosevelt An Appeali Beaggy “g A velvety skin and complexion of ra- diant beauty.

Smith, married in the Church of the Covenant, with a $ reception later at the Mayflower Hotel. was the unalterable foe of the Tweed ring in New York. Entering diplo- macy he made an excellent Minister from this country to Holland. Being of scholarly trend, this scion of the Roosevelts, during his sojourn in the Netherlands, delved into the old an- nals and unearthed many interesting facts regarding the family before the emigration. Mrs. Philip Roosevelt is the daughter of John Ellis Roosevelt, who, like Theodore, the President. was the grandson of Cornelius Van Schaick Roosevelt. The wedding brought to- gether all available members of the family, including the Franklin Roose- velts, also of the Democratic wing. The late Robert B. Roosevelt gained international fame as the_president and founder of the New York Iish Association, and its later development which made excellent laws for the pro- tection of game and for broadening the scope of fish cuiture all over the country. Mr. Roosevelt's ideas were taken over by many foreign countries and his treatses on fish culture have been translated into many north of Europe languages. His satire on in- tensive cultivation of land “Called Five Acres Too Much’” was very popu- lar ameng clubmen and the owners of estates on Long Island Sound. The new Duke of Rutland, who is the twelfth Jack Manners since the most famous one bearing the name eloped with Dorothy Vernon of Had- don Hall, has brought to his splendid home a duchess who was the former Miss Francis Tennant, a first cousin of the Princess Bibesco and the daugh- ter of Francis John Tennant, the eldest brother of the Countess of Ox- ford and of Asquith, more familiarly known on this side of the water as Margot Asquith, author of the mem- olrs. Since becoming duke this Jack Manners and his handsome wife and family have removed from Haddon Hall, where they have lived very hap- pily since their marriage 10 years ago. Belvoir Castle is the principal seat of the Earls and Dukes of Rutland and has been their home since the days of good Queen Anne. Haddon Hall came into the family with Dorothy Vernon's elopement, she being the only child and heiress of Sir John Vernon. For some reason this ro- mance has taken a tremendous hold on the affections of Americans and the courteous Marquis of Granby, as the present duke was before his father’'s death, has stated that but a fraction fewer American tourists in- spected the gardens and mansion than those who visited Stratford-on-Avon and the famous ruin of Kenilworth. It was at Belvoir Castle that the first Duke of Rutland founded the Belvoir Hunting Club, the oldest in continuous existence in the United Kingdomn. Queen Anne often joined the hunt and this gay Jack Manners was the most popular figure of the day. Paul Manship, one of this country’s most renowned _sculptors, passed through many thrilling adventures in his youth and during the World War, but he acknowledges that his great. est_thrills were received during a re- cent motor tour he made from New York to Chicago, with Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank and Miss Jane Fairbank alternately at the wheel. Mr. Man- ship wished to go to Chicago, at the invitation of Mrs. Rockefeller McCor- mick, to examine some of his earliest work—the set of Thermes, which oc- cuples four corners in the Italian gar- den of the famous McCormick place at Lake Forest. These earliest speci- mens of Mr. Manship’s work were The “Fitting-out” Sale Continues— With its special opportunity to supply the Footwear require- ments—for every function of the season—and for every done before he “arrived,” and when he found such generous patrons as the then Mr. and Mrs. Harold McCor- mick. The sculptor longed to accept the invitation of Mrs. McCormick and also to accgmpany Mrs. and Miss Fairbank in their motor, but he thought he lacked the time for both. But Mrs. Failrbank assured him that she and her daughter could take the trip with just a few hours’ more time than the Twentieth Century Limited if he and his friend, Mr. Barry Faulk- ner, the artist, did not mind travel- ing all night. The last day of the Journey was from Canton, Ohio, when the party, after a few hours’ rest in the local hotel, started at 5 a.m. and journeyed without a pause for the next 24 hours, except the briefest space for fcod and gas. Mr. Manship had painted for his friends that night drive with Mrs. Kellogg Fairbank three hours at the wheel, then her daughter for the same time, the towns flashing into light, then vanishing in the darkness, the roaring of nearby trains, the swift flights of other mo- tors. The motor rolled into the Fair- banks' place at 4 o'clock the next morning. The sculptor and the arti: had a fine breakfast, a swim in the nearby lake, and then several hours' sleep, and were immaculately attired in white linens when the motor of Mrs. McCormick called to convey them to her home. New York again is in the lead for having an accurately and completely planned Winter program. Not only are the buds listed and a date as- signed for their presentation, but all the major events of the season have been given their proper day. And all the hostesses have to do all Sum- mer is to rest and enjoy their vaca- tions. Buds make a longer and even more brilliant list than last Winter's, and include, among some 50 others, Miss Alixe Walker, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. Stuart Walker; Miss Estelle O'Brien, daughter of Judge Morgan O'Brien, who is the sister- in-law of the former Katherine Mac- kay and was one of her attendants when she was married to Mr. Ken- neth O'Brien. Miss Mary Chester, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colby M. Chester, who was presented at the British court in May, will have a New York presentation and will later come to Washington. Among the larger social events, the Christmas bazaar, of which Mrs. Marshall Field is permanent chairman, has an- nounced a carnival from December 12 to 19, the cbject being to gather funds to distribute toys to poor‘children. CIRCLE NATION ON BORDER Germans Must End Journey on ‘Wager With Cask Within Year. BERLIN, June 13 (#).—Two mem- bers of the Turnverein Gut Heil of Krefeld are rolling a huge barrel 9 feet high and 6 feelpin diameter along the German frontier to win a wager. According to the conditions of the bet they are obliged to roll the 769- pound cask around the entire German border within a year. ‘This requires them to cover at least 6.9 miles daily. Thus far they have averaged 12.4 miles since they started in January. Both are confident they will return to Krefeld by Christmas to_pocket the 1,500 marks at stake. ‘While en route the expenses of the two “rollers” are being defrayed by the Turnverein to the extent of the equivalent of $6 weekly for each. member of the family.

C, JUNE 14, 1925 PART 9 AROUND THE CITY By Nannie ERE is a small case of ex- tremes: A woman received two of- ficial-sized letters in the same mail. One was an ancestral record that-had admitted her sister to the Society of Colonial Dames. The other was a passport from the State Department. The family pa- per showed a col- orful harkback to colonial officers of the royal- army, minuet-dancing la- dies, planters with land grants and so_on. ‘The passport—a document of the lightsome charac- ter of an income tax return — let the woman know she could take a little whizz to Eu- rope, provided she had a baptismal certificate to prove she wasn't an alien—as though the world was ac- customed to going around with what you might call its birthmark in its pocket. Lacking that authority, the oath of a.native in good standing would serve—provided he didn’t ac- cept pay for doing that same. Money means bribery, sometimes, and the State Department has to be careful. Also, she must be photographed ac- cording to a set rule as to inches and texture—and, my lands, ladies, if you could have seen that mug! The woman had decided that if the State Depart-| ment called on her to swear that the | picture was hers, she would say back that no woman would have the cour- age to own to a thing like that, un- less compelled by truth: but a greater humiliation was in store: He recog- nized it at the very first glimpse—but, anyhow: ‘When it comes to extremes, where would you be likely to find a greater contrast than that between a Colonial Dame and an allen, as represented by 2 genealogic record and a passport— coming to you in the self-same mail? By rights this should stop here, but just to show that the State Depart- ment is more humane and even kindly | than its passport would imply, when the woman took her filled in paper to a man at a desk—a nice-looking young man, who was being worked to death by travel-going hordes—al' he did was to compare het with her photograph, feature by feature, and at the end of the inspection size her up, like this: “Forehead, high: nose, regular; mouth, medium”—and so on—but, happily, no finger prints! And to this Bertillonla was added a kindly permission to visit all coun- tries under protection of the State Department—for three months. Even without a baptismal certificate. * K x % 'HE motorman of a one-man car was making a non-stop run to Ana- costia. One passenger, who didn't know it was a through car, touched the button to get out. The car kept on. The man pressed the button with added emphasis. The car kept on. The man got up, went over to the mo- torman and told him he wanted to get out. The motorman explained that there would be no stop this side of Anacostia. He said he had already made that announcement to the pas- sengers. The man said all right, only the car would have to be stopped to let him out. He wasn't going to Ana- costia. But he did, for the car kept on, in spite of his insistence, until it got to Anacostia. Then it stopped and the man got out, very mad. A nice woman, with beautifully kind intention, got out at the same time. went in a store, and, on coming out, saw that the man was still fussing and fuming at the car stop, waiting for a city-bound car. So she spoke to him in the gentle voice that goes with beautifully kind intentions: “I am sorry you had to come so far out of your way, and, as it seems a pity for you to have to pay for it also, won't you take this?” And she ex- tended a car token. Perhaps he wasn't trained to such amenities, for his answer was so much concentrated fury: “I don’t want your car token. wanted to go to the navy yard.” ‘Which is about all there was to it, 2 1 Growing Girls’— Co., 1343 F Street When roses bloom to announce June, Brewood-engraved invitations pro- claim the June wedding.

It will probably settle your mind on the subject: “When you were a little girl and your mother started after you with a switch and you fled upstairs to the attic, because you knew it was 80 hot up there that she would not follow you—and after a while she called to you to come down and she wouldn't—you know—because it was 50 hot up there she was afraid it would make you sick— Well, today two little girls came from the Petworth Their classroom is in a “portable” and they were fairly bursting to tell that ‘yv'’know the thermometer went to 110 and then to 112 and then it broke and teacher got another thermometer, and it broke, too, so we had to go dver to the basement of the building, and it was so dark there we could not do anything but play.’ Last Winter this same portable was so cold they had to wear their coats all day, and when it rains, ‘aren’t they lucky? the roof leaks and they have to come home. This school s one of a number in similar condition, I don’t doubt, but it is in the District of Columbia, in a section where four-fifths of the res- idents own their own homes, but can do nothing for their school. “Just had to tell this to some one.

Well: A woman in a car had her dress trimmed with a whole set, which she had undoubtedly crocheted under the impression that they would look like lace medallions, but they didn’'t. They looked like table mats; tea plate sizes in the wide insert band on her skirt, saucers up the side seams and whole rews of individual utters” on her blouse and- sleeves. You could tell she had worked long and industriously on those mats, and any one who knows anything about “applique” work can figure out the trouble it must have been to fit those inserts linen. Also, it was so spick and span The House ! new that you could tell she was wear- ing it for the first time. and that the only flaw in her complacence was that it might be too elegantly con- spicucus for a street car at rush time —you know how women are! Then a couple of women in the near-back began to favor the pas- sengers with giggles and to exchange comments as to doilles and human tidies and so on. And the India linen woman heard them. You could tell by the up-surging of blood at the back of her neck and the sudden quiver of restlessness that makes us, when we are word-stabbed, want to run somewhere—anywhere—to hide our hurt whers no one can see— You know, all of us do. And when she could stand it no longer she left the car. Which was a pity, because of the pleasant antici- pations with which she must have worked, stitch by stitch, hour after hour of spare time, for doubtless the whole Winter, merely to be derided in a way that is hard to stand. The couple of women, who were nothing to look at for style, and whose mentality was just about even with their kindliness, will probably enjoy telling their little story over and over, until it is forgotten for Some- thing fresh—seeing that it is the easfest thing in the world to ridicule otherss whether they deserve it or not—and this case being merely one of countless other small tragedies of life, there seems nothing more to say about it, unless— Suppose it really should be true that a being we know as the Great Recorder does take down in his judg: ment book the cruel things we do and say.

Mr. Green promised in particular that the American Federation of Labor will investigate the charge that prisons: in some States are bidding against free labor in other States for contracts to supply the automobile license plates in those States.

German Legislators at War About Russian Delicacies. BERLIN, June 13 UP).—Ruth Fischer, Communistic parliamentarv panding their facilities. Their defense Chancellor Hermann Mueller are en gaged in a battle royal over the merits of caviar as a political appetizer. The controversy arose over the fact that at the Russian Soviet embassy, which from time to time invites political lights, journalists and leaders in art and science to a so-called “beer eve ning” caviar sandwiches are served regularly as one of the most popular palate ticklers. Mueller maintains it is unbecoming a government posing as the represent ative of the working class to serve caviar while masses of unemployed are starving. To this the redoubtable Ruth replies that the only commor language understood by the bour- geoisle is good food, and that the Soviet diplomats must humor the bour geois representatives by feeding them caviar as long as, by the grace of the socialists, the capitalistic order society continues to exist.
