8 SO CIETY.® Tal es of Well_Kno wn Folk In Sociiarlh 33(1 ‘Ofiicial Life Tafts Are Center of Group of Friends at Murray Buy HOI’HE—HCY!‘ B The Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft are | the center of a group of Washington | and Cincinnati friends in their Mur- | ray Bay home, and the head of the Judiciary has been deriving the ut most enjoyment as well as needful ex- ercise in taking some of the visitors to his villa over the new golf course, de signed by the hitect Herbert Strong, and which lies most pictur esquely between the high hills and the valley of the St. Lawrence River Mrs. Taft has been engaged in musi cal affairs, and has made frequent Visits to Quebec and to the new hotel Manoir Richelieu. which was erected on the ruins of the historic hostelry of the same name destroyed by fire six years ago. Mr. Charles P. Taft and his family have joined their kin dred in the Murray Bay section, and the younger son of the Chief Justice. Charles P. Taft, 2d, and his wife and ters are also in residence near Others in the intimate circle of the three Taft families—for Henry Taft is also on the St. Lawrence—are | Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Livingood of Cincinnati and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert | S, ston of New York City. Sir| Charles and Lady Fitzpatrick have re- cently taken possession of their villa near the Taft group of homes, and so too have S Arthur and Lady Harris. These denizens of Ottowa have for| yvears been neighbors of the Chief Jus. tice and among his 1wst valued | friends. Sir Charles Fitzpatrick is perennially named as the Minister | Plenipoten . which the Dominion plans to send to Washington Herr Helmer H. Bryn, who has been the envoy from Norway for 15 years is among the best liked and most ap- proachable members of the diplomatic corps, and a reflex of his personality is that never before in the history of transatlantic travel have so many Americans journeyed to the land of the midnight sun. Part of the duty of a minister abroad, under the inter- pretation of the new diplomacy, is to make friends for his country and to induce foreigners to journey thereto. The Norwegian diplomat has followed this dictum most accurately, though in the easiest and least obvious man- ner. Norway makes everything just as simple as possible for those who | land on her shores. She does not charge the usual fee for disembark ing, nor would she ask a_passport from any American. The State De- partment, however, insists on this, and charges a round $10 for it. Rall road travel and hotel rates in Norway and in Sweden and Denmark also are according to pre-war terms, and full value is given for cash charged. All »f which should be a valuable lesson about the advantages of not going to war, since none of the Scandinavian countries were drained of their re- sources as were the nations engaged in the world hostilities. No one who visits Norway or her sister countries has anything but praise of the food served there, save those tempted by the toothsome way the native cook prepares dishes with such lavish use of cream and butter. These take on flesh alarmingly within a few weeks and must watch themselves falthfully or else depart at once for the coun tries where culinary economy reigns. Representative Martin L. Davey of Ohfo, who, though a member from Ohio for the past 8 years, remains at the head of the unique firm found- ed by his father, the late John Dav nd which is known as the Dav Tree Experts, st rendered an imate to the City of New York to and restore the trees of Cen- It will cost the big city a good $1,000,000. This is a staggering sum, but Central Park is a large place and contains many trees, and, according to the Davey experts, they have been woefully neglected for 20 years past and nearly all require heroic and patient treatment in the way of pruning, feeding and other- wise restoring. Mr. Davey explains that a little precaution used in the past would have prevented such an enormous bill in the present, but that with few exceptions the handsomer and older trees are past the stage of being brought back to their pri strength and beauty. The Park Com- mission has made a wry face, but or- dered the work begun as soon s pos- sible, which, of course, will be for the hard-wood varieties in the late Autumn when the sap has run down the trunk to the roots. The Dav Tree perts are also to make wide survey of the shade trees alon, tre: tral Park the streets and in smaller wooded spots of the city and to undertake | the restoration of those which show that such treatment will restore them Mr. John R. Thompson ot Chicago has « world-wide reputation as an art connoisseur and to be invited to ex amine his treasures is an honor con- ferred only on the most worthy. Art| for its own sake and also for its as- tion is Mr. Thompson's creed instance, during his travels in Belgium and France, some vears ago, he noted in a tamous coliecti a wond tapestry, which the weav had signed and dated, something e in those days, but a circumstance which was established by many docu The date was October 12, 1492, and the Chicago merchant became ob- | sessed with the idea of obtaining this beautiful weaving forest ne in the shaded browns, greens and vel Jows, with just a hint of crimson in the western sun through the trees, as much for its historic significance to | any denizen of the western world rtistic value. It required | of patient effort before he was hang this wall covering in his famous corridor, where the only gen uine Ispahan rug in existehce, save that owned by the King of Spain, has been laid. Mr. Thompson is revered | throughout the artistic world in that he and the late Potter Palmer were among the very first to recognize the | glory of the school of Barbizon and| to purchase for substantial sums can vases by Claude Monet. But though he gave far in excess of the sum ask- ed by the then obscure painter, he could now get m: hundred times | the amount Miss Brenda Putnam, daughter of | the librarfan of Congress is about to | complete her bust of Harriet Reecher Stowe, which is being prepared for) the Hall of Fame. It has been pro- nounced a splendid thor idealistic | sculpture of the talented woman, and | though no one in Mrs. Stowe's life had ever noted her resemblance to the most gifted of feminine novelists, George Eliot, or Mary Anne Evans as| she was in reality, there is a strong | suggestion in_the bust. Miss Put nam springs from a_family eminent along_many lines. Washington and the Nation has abundant reasons to think highly of the librarian of Con- gress and his conduct of the most important collection _of books and manuscript _in the Western World. Miss Ruth Putnam, aunt of the young sculptor, resides at 2025 O street in this city, and is one of its literati. She has written valuable history and has many volumes to her credit, includ. ing several in the hero series publish- ed some years ago by her brother, Haven Putnam; “Charles the " “William the Silent,” and many others. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Put- nam_are most unobstrusive members of Washington's intellectual cirele, and their daughter Brenda has re. mained here but rarely since she dopted sculpture as a career.

George Haven Putnam the publisher and his talented wife, Emily Ward Smith, who as an educator and resi- dent in Bryn Mawr was well known in this city, are frequently here as guests of the librarian of Congress. lotte E quently in of her relatives Col. Archibald Hubard, who is the president of the Monticello Assoct tion, is naturally Solicitous that this society, which is composed exclusivel: of the descendants of the third Presi- dent, should not become confused in the public mind with the Thomas Jef- ferson Memorial Foundation, which is so rapidly forging ahead in collecting purchase price of Monticello, half million dollars. The this most versatile of xecutives of the United States ire keenly inter the Memorial Foundation and in the regathering of all Jeffersonia which is gradually finding its way to Monticello and giving it the aspect it held when Its founder and creator was in the flesh. But Col. Hubard and his assoclates have in a special manner ncerned themselves in the Jefferson graveyard near the famous ‘“‘mansion on the mountain” and in which every which is a of the great man's descend ants have a right to claim a last rest | g place. Already six generations lie beside the author of the Declaration and the inclosure is one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots about the estate. The officers of the Monticello Association are, in addition to the president, Col. Hubard, Miss Cornelia Jefferson Taylor, who is vice presi- dent; Col. Jefferson Randolph Kean, who is historian, and Mrs. Pattie Kean Morris of Calvert street, this city, who acts in the joint capacity of secretary and treasurer. John Adams' descendants have like- wise a family association, but their aetlvities le principally in the literary line, since the bearers of the name have, llke thelr renowned progenitor, the signer of the Declaration and the first Vice President and second Presi- dent, possessed an ample fortune and had no such splendid estate to main- tain like that which Jefferson left to posterity in Monticello. There is, however, a concerted movement among them to buy and to furnish the upkeep of the small cottage in Northampton whence the first John Adams emigrated to this country with his wife and 14 children, according to the quaint epitaph in the old burial ground near Quincy, Mass. There are several Adams’ hol that in Quincy being one of the most stately, and is at present the property of Mr. Charles Francis Adams, though he resides principally in Boston and at Concord. John Adams was, as so many chron- iclers have noted, the only one of the first flve Presidents of the United States v ho had a son, and that son, John Quincy Adams, became the sixth President. In the literary sense, the contributions of the two Adamses who were Presidents, and of their descend- ants, who became prominent states- men, diplomats and scholars, make a sound foundation for a memorial as- sociation. Collections of their writing and public acts make a sizable library in the corner of the Harvard reading room and the Adams collection in the Library of Congress grows astonish- ingly. The home of Henry Adams, the historian, on H street, now the Brazilian embassy, seems destined to destruction, but the Adams building on F street still perpetuates the local habitation of the second Adams to become President of the United States. Mr. Charles Mueller, known to all globe-trotting Americans as Mine Host,” at Shepheard's Hotel, in Cairo, pt. has recently been in Washins ton, taking a quiet survey of what known throughout the realm of ho: telry as “American methods.” He had previously spent some weexs in New York, and at the most famous resorts of New England and down the At lantic, with a tew days given to Chi cago and the flourishing cities of the West and the middle sections. Shep- heard’s, at Cairo, vies with Danieli’s, in Venice, as having the most exten- sive literature, both fiction and in travel books, of any now in existence, and in the splendid reading room which both hotels maintain, whole cases present the various viewpoints of fllustrious authors. Mr. Mueller, who is at present the president of the Egyptian chain of hotels, has made his studies very unobtrusively, rarely revealing his identity to the hotel man- agers until when just about to leave. After leaving Washington, where he Tenewed acquaintance with many of ficlals and with the members of the { Egyptian legation, he departed for a tour of Canada, where the best hotels are patterned half on American and half ‘on British plans, but with some distinetly Canadian features, which give a flavor of originali Five o'clock tea is the mosc brilliant feature of the day at Shepheard’s, though tea is often merely a generic name for light refreshment, which might take Every Washington W knows the Quality of Francke & Lustick Creations.

Lady Alexandra Curzon, the third and, according to popular verdict, the loveliest of the three daughters of the late Mary Leiter and her husband, the lately deceased Marquis of Curzon, who married Maj. Edward D. Metcalfe, has sailed with him for their new home, which is to be among the modest dom- iciles provided for the officers on the staff of Field Marshall Birdwood, now in command of the Indian Army. Gen. Birdwood makes his headquar. | ters at Delhi, and so-the bride will be in the very spot where her mother reigned so brilliantly when Lord Cur- zon was viceroy. But her station is far less important, a circumstance which made the late Marquis of Cur- zon so bitterly opposed to his daugh- ter wedding the handsome but poor oung officer in the Indlan Army. He disliked the idea of one of his blood returning to India in an inferior so- clal role. But with Lady Alexandra it was all for love and the world well lost. She had been engaged to Maj. Metcalfe f6r three years, but could not | marry him because of the paternal op- | position. Meantime her friendship with the Prince of Wales and his brothers, particularly Prince Henry, | zave rise to the often-repeated rumor that Lady Alexandra was destined to enter the British royal family. Her wedding took place as soon as possible after her father's death and she had the full approbation of her family and was accompanied to the altar by her step-mother. Mr. Jesse Oreg., has A. Currey of Portland, made a public offer of §1.000 prize for the best white or cream rose which will prove satisfac- tory for outdoor growth In every part of the United States, and the lists are open to any one, anywhere, profes- slonal or amateur, who can register the same after it has successtully en- dured the usual tests applied to all rose candidates. This should arouse tremendous interest all over this coun- try, for the generosity of the prize is far beyond anything yet offered. When it is remembered that the late Dr. Van Fleet accepted $75 for his lovely “Silver Moon" and $100 for the exquisite climber which bears his name, it is obvious that Mr. Currey has made a long stride toward ac- knowledging that rose culture is a lib- eral art, as France and other conti- nental countries regard it. The limi- tation of this winner is that the white rose must be hardy, full flowered, fragrant and ever-blooming. Dr. Van Fleet's roses, with few exceptions, are climbing, and are a dream of glory for a few weeks and then flowerless for a year. Mr. Currey is a well known rosarian in that home of the queen of flowers, Portland, and the establish- ment of a good cream rose which will grow as well in the moist cool air of the Pacific Coast and not freeze in the Winters of New England nor be parched in the Summers of the Mid- dle West and on most of the Atlantic seaboard, and at the proper time ful- fill its obligations in tne South and Southwest, has been one of his cher- ished ambitions. Many local rosa- rians say that the feat is impossible, but with a prize of $1,000 in view the well known ingenuity of the American gardener may find a way. Washington gardens are receiving so much attention, and many of the owners of beautiful flower plots are important figures in the social world, that a friendly controversy in progress about the ethics of fresh flowers on the table and for every meal cannot fail to interest scores of hostesses at “he Capital. The late Bishop Wilber- force of England, who called flowers “the smiles of God's goodness,” con- tended that fresh blossoms were as | essential as fresh napery, and shining | silver and china, all of which Wash- | ington hostesses accept in the literal | sense. But the ambition of the flower grower is to produce blossoms which | retain their color and vigor for three or four days. Roses arranged artist- ically in a basket or bowl require time and discrimination, and few who per- form this work of love would relish seeing it tossed aside when it had brightened the board for a single meal. Such a basket should and does last in pecfect hue and shape for a good three days, when the rosarian feels content with this service and gladly cuts new flowers. North Shore flower lovers :em committed to the British {dea of | fresh flowers for every meal, and many there draw a line against the same centerplece for breakfast or in- formal luncheon as would be used for dinner or luncheon of the set kind, But all this seems a futile sort of labor, especially when flowers now take ‘on every shape, size and color, and may be arranged on lines to suit every occasion.

The Brazillan em- bassy, the former domicile of Henry Adams, the historian, at 1603 H street, is, with the Japanese embassy, which is the stately residence built by John Sherman, situated at 1321 K street, the last of the foreign establishments which are in the central part of the city. The British embassy, on Con- necticut avenue and N street, is in what is now almost central, but this property has been sold and work on the new embassy, out Massachusetts avenue near the Naval Observatory, will begin in the Autumn. The Bra- zillan government has never owned an establishment in this country, but the present Ambassador i securing a new home will have an eye to selecting one which may be purchased if it fills the requirements and thus terminate the irritating necessity of having to move.
