10 Tales of Well Known Folk In Social_al}fi Official Life Wilson's Tomb Becomin ¢ Mecca for Pilgrimages. Orb-Dawes Nuptials Interest Society. Woman Heads Hunt Clubs. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Woodrow Wilson's tomb in the Na- tlonal Cathedral has become an ac- cepted part of the patriotic pil- grimages made by all distinguished visitors to the National Capital, and in the order which is now observed it comes second in the schedule after Mount Vernon and between the visit to Arlington to place the customary wreath on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Count Alexander Skrzynski, the Polish minister of foreign affairs, who was a colleague of the late Presi: dent Wilson when the League of Na-| tions was in formation, may be said to have begun the new order. When President Wilson was in the flesh, great visitors in post-war vears, ar- viving in Washington, left their cards at his door when he became too feeble to receive guests, no matter how illus- trious they might be. The Polish minister of foreign affairs, coming from a nation most favorably affected by the covenant of Versailles, the rest ing place of the great idealist whose work it principally was naturally clalmed his reverent homage. The | twenty-eighth President is the first to be placed within the domain of the National Capital and his tomb will be a pilgrimage place and will soon as- sume the importance of the mauso- leums of other chief magistrates who have passed into eternity, loved and | admired by the people James Alexander MacKenzie high commissioner from Aus- | Sir Elder, a, had before sailing for London | enily the great pleasure of learn- | ing that the Pacific fleet was soon| to set sail for Australia, and for the | first time in history make calls of | courtesy at all the ports in the vast | country thereabout, New Zealand, | New South Wales and Tasmania. The Australian commissioner to the United | Htates, who is also the commissioner | of his country to the empire exhibi- | tion at Wembley near London, and | who has gone to discharge -those duties, deems this one of the far- reaching symbols of the spirit of neighporliness which has been ap-| parent between the United States and the islands of the south Pacific since Australia participated in the disarma. ment conference in 1921. There had | been a cordial and sympathetic feel- ing existent between the two widely divided branches of the English- speaking countries for years past, but a closer union has been observed since the World War, when Austral- fans and Americans were so often assoclated. Sir James Elder will re- turn to this country in September and will_hereafter make his Washington headquarters in the Mayflower Hotel. He has a suite of offices in Whitehall street, in New York City, and he and | Lady Elder maintain a pleasant home | in the Plaza. A wedding in the vice presidential family, of which faint echoes reach- ed the Capital, was that of Mr. Neil Booker Dawes and Miss Helen Ruth Orb, which occurred in Chicago about two weeks ago. Mr. Nell Booker Dawes is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Ruggles Dawes of Chicago and Glencoe, Ill, and_the former is the first cousin of the Vice President. Wil- lam Ruggles Dawes is the son of Hector Dawes, younger brother of Gen. Rufus Dawes, who shook the jearly in pre-Civii War days. He | located at Rippon, Wis., married there Miss Jane Ruggles and reared a large and successful family in the Badger State. Willlam Ruggles, named for his maternal grandfather, married Miss Margaret Booker of Whitewater, Wis., and soon after he became as- sociated with his famous cousin in various enterprises in Lincoln, Nebr, He is now president of the Jackson County heat and lighting plant, and a member of the board of trustees of the Vice President’s bank, the Central Trust of Chicago; is president of the Board of Education in Evanston, land is, in a word, the same type of successful business man which all the Dawes brothers and cousins are. Young Mr. Dawes is associated with his father, and his bride is a sculptor of acknowledged talent and one of the leaders in the art colony which has grown up about the Field Museum Mr. and Mrs. Neil Dawes have gone on a six-week motor trip in northern Wisconsin and thence to the Canadian Rockles, and will on their return oc- cupy a pretty villa in Glencoe near the paternal mansion of Mr. Dawes. M. Wladimir Boumistroff, for 10 vears chamberlain of the Czar and whose escape from Russia after the Bolshevist triumph with his clever young sister, Mlle. Valerie, makes breathless reading, is among the Russian refugees who have conquered fate and have amassed a comfortable | and | fortune in the land of exile achleved a splendid social position. The chamberlain was able to secrete a few jewels and securitles and was not absolutely destitute, as so many titled Muscovites ‘were on reaching a friendly harbor. But he faced the necessity of obtaining additional in- come, and he found a repaying outlet for his talents in costumry and pageantry in New Yorw City. Now, under a committes, formed as a Rus- slan Exiles’ Special Relief Associa- tion, and of which Mrs. Henry P. Davison and Mrs. William K. Van- derbilt, sr., are sponsors, he and Mile. Valerie Boumistroff are about to en- arge their field and undertake sim- r work in different parts of the section. Col. Owen D. Young, so highly regarded in this city for his arrangement of outdoor celebrations, like the dedicating of monuments and public buildings, is one of the mem- bers of this national committee which is to secure the talented Russian’s co-operation in planning fetes which will benefit him and his sister some, but the Russian exiles far more. |Others on this national board are R. Fulton Cutting of New York City, Dr. John Grier Hibben, Willlam M. Chadburne, William S. Schiefflin and Prof. Michael Pupin. A sub-deb of the brilliant social sea- son at Newport this Summer is Miss Evelyn Bigelow Clark, great-grand- daughter of the statesman and author, John Bigelow, who filled many politi- cal roles of importance. Miss Clark is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Francis Clark, whose home, Wren. tham Hall, in the older section of Newport, has been a center of fash- fonable life through three generations. Mrs. Clark is the daughter of the sec- ond John Bigelow, oldest son of the scholar and publicist, who was among the several distinguished statesmen dust of Marrietta, Ohio, from his feet and writers who followed Benjamin THE SUNDAY' STAR, NORA DE Wife of Senor \'lg'l‘n(r a: Franklin as envoys from this country to France. This John Bigelow was graduated from West Point, and had a long and honorable career in the Army, and, after his retirement, lived for several years in Jefferson place, this city. His wife was Miss Mary Braxton Dallam of Baltimore. Poult- ney Bigelow is well known in the world of letters, but not so eminent there as is_his father, Gen. Bigelow’s brother. New York City owes much low, friend and biographer of William with him in journalism. Samuel Tilden selected the first John Bigelow as his blographer, and nowhere are the tan- gled skeins, which make up the cam- palgn of Tilden against Hayes, so skilifully unwound as in this life of the Democratic candidate of the cen- tennial year, 1876. Miss Clark will |probably be formally presented to |soclety “this Winter, but, meantime, she is a prominent figure in the younger coterie of Newport. ‘With the election of Mrs. Robert C. Winmill as joint master of hounds of the Warrenton and Casanova Hunt Clubs of Fauquier County, Va., seems entirely probable that the term “Mistress of Hounds" is to be the next innovation on the field. Several times have women acted as master of hounds, but only as substitutes during an emergency. Thus during her hus- band’s services in France during the Worid War, Mrs. J. Watson Webb of Westéhester hunted the Shelburne hounds in his place. Mrs. Allan Potts of Gordonsville may be deemed the dean of women in this role, though this lady has declined to accept the title either as master or mistress of THE LOUVRE 1115 17 : A Most Unusual Event Louvre Half-Price Sale! to the scholar and author, John Bige-| Cullen Bryant and one time assoclated | it | NEW DIPLOMATIC HOSTESS RODRIGUEZ, SE) Vaides Rodriguez, third secretary of the Cuban E whose marriage took place July hounds, through she has filled the role | most acceptably for the Castle Hill | Hunt, the hounds of which are the | best blooded in the Old Dominion | have been hunted on the Potts e Marcel Waves Do Not Injure the Hair By our method of marcel- ling we are able to keep the hair in excellent con- ditionno matter howmany times the hair is waved.

Mrs. Willlam Goadby Loew is to assume the master's horn this Autumn for the historic Harford Hunt Club in the Black Horse country of Maryland, and when she writes M. H. after her name, she wishes it distinctly understod that it means mistress and not master. The former Miss Carol A. Harriman, the widow of R. Fenn Smith, often wields the horn, but in clubs that are consid- ered sort of family affairs with the Harrimans and their friends about New York City. ‘Mrs. Winmill of Warrenton, however, is outstanding in that she was elected by votes of the club members and will be in direct line to succeed the present master, Mr. W. Chauncey Williams of Rich- mond. Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, Mrs. Ber- nard Baruch and others who are ac- tive in the councils of the Democratic party are about to launch & move- ment to collect a fund in every part of the country ir. order to have painted by the best artist available a portrait of Dolly Madison for the White House. Mrs. Coolidge had a small oval pfec- ture of Dolly Madison removed from the first floor, where it was utterly submerged among the large and hand- some canvases with which it was sur- rounded. It is now in the corridor of the ground floor, near the wall space where Mrs. Coolldge, with her usual self-effacement, has placed her own beautiful and appealing portrait by Howard Chandler Christie. The for- mer place of the Dolly Madison pic- ture is occupled by the lovely canvas by Cecilia Beaux of Mrs. Theodore Hoosevelt. There aré many sketches of Mistress Dolly extant from which a_good portrait could be painted, and Mrs. Harriman and her aides point to the precedent established when the Rugs and Carpets cleaned and stored.

HALL, Before her recent marriage she was Miss Mildred Yeba Johnson of 5100 Fourteenth street. late Mrs. Harrlet Lane Johnston ob- tained permission of Congress to re- place the portrait of her uncle, James Buchanar, by a worthier canvas than that which had hung nearly half a century in the red room. ‘With the feminist party so domi- nant in political ranks, it is inevitable that this question of the wives of the Presidents of the United States will receive adequate attention, and their present pictorial banishment to the lower regions of the mansion which they graced will become a subject of keen national solicitude, It will also be noted that there is a scant display of First Ladies, and their selection has been a rather haphazard sort of affalr. The Government paid for only one of the canvases of the presiden- tial ladies In the White House—that of Mme. Martha Washington by Gil- bert Stuart, The others were pre- sented by groups of admirers, some in organizations, some in _private walks of life, who interested others in the purchase. A wide movement is on hand to have every woman who presided over the White House rep- resented on canvas in some part of it. The mansion which this opulent and powerful nation provides for its Chlef Magistrate is almost devoid of attrac- tive paintings except those of the Presidents. Now, good artistic por- traits of the First Ladies and espe- clally those who had children having them grouped about them would re- lieve immensely the cold impersonal aspect which the mansfon presents in its Mving quarters. Some of the best known and best liked mistresses of the old mansion are not among the pictured ladles. Mrs. Grover Cleveland, for instance, the only bride of a President who was mar- ried in the mansion, is not there, nor either of the wives of President Wil- son. That Mrs. Abraham Lincoln is missing is o gross historical defect.

For one thing, Thomas Jefferson built a ladder which is without peer in ail the world, in. that it is folding and disappears into a little nook ove which an ornamental panel siides and completely obscures the opening. This ladder is to reach the marvelous wate: clock which Jefferson brought fron France, and which needs so little at tention that any stairs or obvious a cess to it would spoil the graceful out lines of the portico over the main en trance where it marks off the passing hours. This clock must be supplied with water about every six or eight weeks, and having determined to place it over the Doric front of his house the sage of Monticello saw that some means must be evolved to reach it. So the ladder was the result, and by touching a hidden spring it descends to the floor, when it may be mounted and the clock easily reached. Then the same spring restores it behind the panel, which corresponds with those which are placed at Intervals along the facade. There are several curly maple chairs which the President made in entirely, and these would bring a fortune if the assoclation eve feels disposed to raise money in thi« way. A folding music stand is ar other novelty, and never patente. which Jefferson made for himself and which he used constantly in playi on his cello. The American Ambassador 1 France, Mr. Myron T.
