SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HILE every Summer resort, whether seashore or mountain, is preening for some sort of an athletic contest or tournament, and life is at its best for those who have a long or short period of leisure, the Capital still maintains a strong interest, socially and otherwise. From now far on into October, and perhaps later, debt funding missions will arrive from the other side of the world, and the coming of each will be the signal for showing to the foreigners good wholesome American hospitality in the way of dinner parties, receptions and other forms of entertainment. The embassies or legations represent- ing the countries also will entertain, and so, while golf, tennis, regattas and mountain climbing furnish interest for resort lovers, others who are Belping to once more set the world aright will give to the Capital its usual interest HE world, indeed, seems small when the identical persons who make what is known as society in Washington must needs be the chief factor at the principal resorts, and just now on the North Shore of Mas- <achusetts, where interest centers, a list of guests for a dinner party, tea or luncheon reads strangely like a leaf from the Winter’s calendar here. Of course, this is not an idle boast, but goes far to prove the fallacy of the once strong claim that only New York, Boston and Philadelphia could . fufnish leaders for the social world, while other cities maintained a merely ! small contributing interest Tm. President and Mrs. Coolidge also are giving to their vacation at Swampscott a decided Washington flavor by having as visitors the officials, great and small, who make up life here in the Winter. They have their son, Mr. John Coolidge, with them for a short time before he goes to camp, he is always their companion on the Mayflower, for they are all good sailors in the President's family. Mrs. Coolidge fre- quently has had to exchange her broad-brimmed hats, which are so be- coming to her, for mere turban effects while she is in the windy atmos- phere of the North Shore, and she is seldom or never seen out without a scoat or other wrap about her R. and Mrs. Godfrey Lowell Cabot, who spent the Winter here and are now at The Oaks, their splendid estate at Beverley Farms, will give an entertainment Friday for i bing the Summer in that section, and there is a continuous round of en- ftertainment for the foreign visitors now settled there. The Commissioner of the District and Mrs. Rudolph, who are at Swampscott, called on President and Mrs. Coolidge, and have exchanged courtesies with the German Ambassador and others who have Summer homes there. HE Greenbrier golf championship begins at White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., next week, and will be followed by the old White champion- The women's Summer golf championship will open August 17. August 10 the annual girls’ leap-year party will be held. The Green- brier horse show and ball will take place August 22, and the fancy dress ball at Kates Mountain Club August 28. Tt is in these entertainments that the flower of society, both North and South, meet. ship. NTERESTING Washington people are not wanting at Asheville, N. C,, and one hears that Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter, Mrs. Cecil, are helping largely to underwrite the expenses for the appearance there of the San Carlos Grand Opera Company, August 10-15. Biltmore estate also contributed to the horse show at Hendersonville, N. C., where about 200 blooded animals were shown, and beginning with August 1 golf will enlist just as much interest. Outdoor sports are at their best in that section, and chief in everything are Mr. and Mrs. Francis Amherst Cecil. AT Newpgrt, where are centered a number of Washington people for the season, a rccent drawing card was the gigantic garden party given by Mrs. Shartle, wife of Licut. Col. Samuel G. Shartle, for the bene- fit of the Army Relief. a good cause, that gives to society here one of its “hief balls of the Winter. The treasure hunt, which was one of the many features of the garden party, extended almost all over Newport, tickets being sold to those who wished to go on the hunt for hidden treasure, Mrs. Arthur Curtiss James of New York, who sold most of the tickets, entertained the purchasers at a hunt breakfast before they started out on the run for treasure. Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock entertained at luncheon those who were to play bridge and mah jong, and so every feature of the den party was prefaced by a fashionable entertainmen Mellon Is Coming Back To Capital Next Week The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, will return to Washington the firet of next week from Southampton, where he has been passing some time with his daughter, Miss Allsa Mellon.

Dr. Ricardo Jaimes Freyre, Minister from Bolivia, is among matists who have served in this Cap- ital and who were at the same time among the foremost literateurs of thelr countries and of their times. Lord Bulwer Lytton was the envoy of Great Britain at the time when his fame was paramount as the author of popular and masterly novels. Sen- hor Joachim Nabuco, first Ambas- sador from Brazil, was a poet of first rank in the Portuguese tongue. James Bryce had greater fame as a writer than as a diplomat when he came to Washington, and the recent Ambas- sador from the French Republic, M. Jules Jusserand, had written his greatest books before he achieved the last round in the career of statecraft. The Bolivian scholar is a poet of dis- tinction and has two lengthy produc- tions which rank high in_contem- porary letters, ‘“Castalia Barbara” and “Los Suenos son Vida,” besides two books of shorter poems. But since it is as a historian that the Minister has climbed the greater heights of fame, it is appropriate that under him Bolivia should celebrate fittingly in the American Capital the centennial anniversary of the adop- tion of its constitution and its birth as an autonomous republic. The Min- ister, Senora Freyre and Senorita Yolanda Freyre have been busy for some days deciding details about the reception and dance which will be given on the evening of August 6 at the Pan_American Hall after 10 o'clock. Bollvia, which had been for 300 years a province of Spain, known as Alto or upper Peru, celebrates July 16, 1809, as its independence day, for on that date the martial forces of the country proclaimed their sepa- ration from the mother country and took to the field under the heroic Gen. Simon Bolivar. The republic was named Bolivia In his honor on the day that actual independence was achleved, August 6, soon to be 100 years ago. Bolivia on this same date inaugurates her chief _executives every fourth year, and the year of the centenary 1Is also the day on which Senor Don Gabino Villaneuva, who was elected about fourth months ago as the Republican candidate against the Liberal, will assume the duties of his high office. Kelloge Will Be Present. Though such splendid fetes in the Pan-American Hall as the Minister and Senora Freyre contemplate on August 6 are rare in Midsummer at the Capital, there will be a sufficient number of American and foreign dig- nitarfes to make it the outstanding event of the season. The Secretary of State will be present and there is every assurance that Mrs. Kellogg will ‘also be in the city, and 'celeb- rities_in the diplomatic corps will be a2 “(Continued on Fifth Page.)

Bright lettered days with a list of activities varied in the offering and making the sojourn of those who claim the charming stretth of shore as their Summer abiding place one of delight. Rare weather has had much to do in making the season to date a most successful one and encouraging those who have ambitious plans the making for future events. Yacht- ing has come into its own and from Nahant to Rockport on Saturdays and through the week days there is a succession of white-winged fleets from the great schooner yachts to the 15-footers &o popular in Marble head and at Manchester. Polo, that royal sport, has been a magnet draw- ing many Washington colonists to Myopia and Prince mere, while this week one of the features was the ladies’ tennis tournament played on the grass courts of the Essex County Club, bringing together one of the most’ brilllant groups of players ever assembled on the North Shore. For the President and Mrs. Coolidge over at White Court, the week has been one kaleidéscopic in its changes —with diplomatic, administration leaders and prominent personages on the daily guest list—giving but little " time for the real va- cation program. The President on the North Shore, as in Washington, is finding the Mayflower his one best vacation asset and the sunburn ‘which promises to develop into a light coat of tan before the season is over is evidence of the good his yachting is doing him. Motoring is practically the only other diversion, aside that which comes from meeting old friends who_are continually dropping_in for a chat at White Court. Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, the adminis- tration leader in the Senate, was at White Court as a house guest the early part of the week. Senator Frederick Hale came down from Portland, Me.. for a talk on naval af- fairs; Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, di- rector of the Veterans' Bureau, and National Committeeman David W. Mulvane of Kansas, at Magnolia for the Summer, were among the guests at_the Summer White House. For the President and Mrs. Coolidge the most interesting arrival was their son John, on for his first visit to Swampscott, and coming down from Plymouth, Vt., where he has been with his grandfather, Col. John C. Coolidge, following his convalescence from ill- ness. He has been at Plymouth since finishing up his studies at Amherst, in June. Mr. Coolidge will be at White Court until the first of the month, when he will go to Camp Devens to attend the citizens' military training camp. The President went to Devens for a review of the old 26th Division, and feels that the camp life will do his son a world of good and will put him in fine fettle for taking up his college work in Septembetr. Secretary of War John W.

Gross, and Mr. Elwood Padgett Hern- don will take place Saturday. The ceremony will be performed in Alex- andria in the house where the bride- groom's parents were married at 216 North Alfred street. Many showers have been given in | the last two weeks for Miss Gross, the last being those by the woman em- ployes of the Young Men's Christian Association, which included Mrs. Alice K. Pimper, Miss H. Percilla Brady, Miss Margaret Huber, Miss Rose Bright, Mrs. Eugenia Rollins, Miss Mary Fletcher, Mrs. Margaret Bone, Miss Ethel, Betts, Mrs. Willlam Tubner, Mrs. Frank Kelsey, Miss Harriett Huxley and Mrs. Hazel Drumm.

Meek, for a week and have gome to Newport News, Va. where they will make their home. Mrs. Sinton was formerly Miss Mercedes Ray of Washington and | Richmond and the wedding in the latter city was a charmingly arranged affair.

This afternoon there was golf and tennis at the coun try clubs, and the annual program of water sports at the Manchester Yach Club, brought to a close with a dance, attracted colonists from all along the Shore.
