HE week just closed was important socially, which is unusual for Midsummer, with the Chief, Executive absent and many of the embassies and legations established in Summer quarters elsewhere. Yet there was a state dinner and a diplomatic reception, both in the Pan-American Union Building. And at each function there were offi- cials and diplomats and a small contingent of smart resident society. Secretary Kellogg's dinner Friday evening was distinctly official, for only the members of the Belgian debt funding commission and those of the American commission, with members of the cabinet, diplomats and assistant secretaries directly concerned with the meetings of these two missions. So far, no other festivities have been announced, but no doubt there will be luncheons and several other dinners. HE reception Thursday evening which the Minister of Bolivia and Senora de Jaimes Freyre gave in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the independence of their country calls remindfully of the nearness of the anniversaries of Bolivia’s sister republics in South and Central America. Ecuador will have two such anmiversaries this week, tomor- row being the anniversary of the start of the movement for independence in that country, and Friday the anniversary of the proclamation of the constitution of the republic of Ecuador. Paraguay's independence day is also next Friday. Uruguay will reach her centenary of independence on August 25, the anniversary of the declaration of freedom from Brazilian rule, the country having claimed, with Argentina, freedom from Spain on May 23, 1810. The Dominican Republic also will celebrate freedom from Spain on Sun- day. August 16. The other republics of Latin America celebrate at other times of the year, The Central American republics, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador, have the same day, September 15, the anniver- sary of their independence from Spanish rule, the five states declaring themselves independent of each other at various times afterward, A CELEBRATION which is of more interest to this vicinity is the ap- proaching anniversary, in October, of the birth of George Mason, friend and neighbor of George Washington. October will be the 200th anniversary and will he celebrated by patriotic societies far and wide. The quaint and charming home of George Mason, Gunston Hall, on the Potomac, Virginia, has passed out of the hands of the Mason descendants, but has been completely restored and rehabilitated by its present owners and occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Hertle of Chicago. The visit in Washington of Miss Mildred Ruth Mason, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George Mason of Jacksonville, IlL, is of particular interest at this time, as she is a direct descendant of George Mason, who built the present mansion of Gunston Hall and aided George Washington in the uilding of the quaint and historic Pohick Church, at an equal distance from Gunston Hall and Mount Vernon. Miss Mason is visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Edward D. Hall, the latter a daughter of the late Richard Alexander Thaddeus Mason, who was the last of that name to be born at Gunston Hall Cabinet Circles Thinned By Vacation Exodus The Secretary of War and Mrs. Weeks, who have been for some weeks at Gloucester, Mass., are ex- pected to go _to their Summer home on Mount Prospect at Lancaster, N.

He is the fourth Bra- zilfan to serve as Ambassador at the seat of the American Governmnet. The legation was raised to an em- bassy in 1905 and the lamented poet and author, Dr. Joachim Nabuso, was the first to represent the Brazilian re- public in this rank. After his death in Washington, Dr. Domenico da Gama, now Brazillan Ambassador in London, was assigned here and his successor was Dr. Cochrane de Alen- car, who resigned last Summer. Bra- zil was the first of the South Ameri- can nations to raise her legation to an Ambassador here, the first having the Latin-American republics to send an Ambasador here, the first having been Mexico, from whom in 1898 was designated the much esteemed Senor Manuel Romero, who, like Senor Na- buco, died at his post in Washington. Dr. Sylvino Gurgel do Amaral 18 re- garded as one of the most accom- plished members of Brazil's foreign service and he had been promoted to the ambassadorial class when less than a year ago. Chile raised her legation in Rio de Janeiro to an em- bassy, and the Brazillan Minister to Santiago de Chile was likewise ele- vated. Having only just begun his new duties in the Chilean caplital, Dr. do Amaral was detained there for some months and he arrived in Wash- ington almost eight months after his assignment here. He began his career as secretary of the legation in Russia and remained there until he came to ‘Washington, just as President Roose- velt was beginning a term of his own, in April, 1905.

Yacht Racing is Enjoyed By Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge Often in Evidence at Marblehead Clubs—Diplo- matic Corps Well Represented on North Shore—Capital Society Entertains. Special Dispatch to The Star BEVERLY, Mass., August §. — Washington society summering on the North Shore is enjoying the vacht races off Marblehead. The sight of rearly 200 yachts, from the majectic schooner type to the sporty little 15- footers, all sail set and plowing through an emerald sea, leaving little whitecaps in_their wake, is as plc- turesque as the race is thrilling. The Marblehead races bring craft from the coast as far south as Long Island Sound and as far north as Bar Har- bor, all taking part in the racing schedule, which ~continues through next week. The three famous clubs of Marblehead, the Eastern, Corin- thian and the Boston, are co-operat- ing in these races, and there will be more than 200 in the final mid-August contests. This picture is a new one for Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge and has been much enjoyed by them these rare Au- gust afternoons. The presidential yacht Mayflower is anchored in the stream off Marblehead and commands a wonderful vantage point from which to view the races, especially as the crafts stand out to sea to catch the full benefit of the off-shore breezes. The President and his official family have the courtesies of the Marblehead clubs and often meet on the broad verandas to watch the Kaleidoscopic pleture. It is far and away different from the sight one sees on the Poto- mac, where motor boats take the place of sailing craft. With the stiff breeze blowing, the rails of the racing craft are often awash, and there is always life and color in the picture. Plan Stay Until Fall. The President and Mrs. Coolidge are expected to be at Plymouth, Vt., for a week or so for a visit with Col. John C. Coolidge, the President’s father, now getting along wondertully well after his_recent illness. The President and Mrs. Coolidge will be on the North Shore until after Labor day, and, as the holiday comes late this year, it is probable that Wash ington will not see the President until after the middle of September. On the way back frcm Plymouth to the shore the President may make a run up through the White Mountains to Bretton Woods and then back through Crawford Notch and over through the ends of New Hampshire and Maine, opening up a stretch of the country he has seen but little. They will visit their son, John Coolidge. now a cor- poral, at the citizens’ military train- ing camp at Devens during their trip away from White Court. Italian Envoy Sailing. ‘The Italian Ambassador, Don Gia- coma de Martino, who has been spend ing_the Summer at the Kaan cottage at Beverly Farms, is sailing today for | o Rome, where he has been called for important conferences with his gov- ernment. The debt settlement and other matters affecting the interests of Ttaly and the United States are to be taken up. The Ambassador hopes to return to Beverly Farms early in Sep- tember. Donna Antoniette de Mar- tino will remain at Beverly Farms for the balance of the season, with the ex ception of little trips to nearby resorts where she has been invited. Summer days on the North Shore have been most_interesting for the Ambassador and his charming wife, and much in the way of entertaining has been done in their honor. They have al- ready made many friends in the colo- nies, and there is every likelihood that the Farms next season again will be the seat of the Summer Italian em bassy Miss Lucy Graham of Washington has been among the recent arrivals at the New Ocean House, fn Swampscott.
