HE last week in August conjures thoughts, if not plans, for the coming Autumn. The many resorts in the mountains and at the seashore will be wellnigh deserted at the close of Labor day, September 7. Coming late this year, Labor day adds a week to some vacations, but those who have children in the family will be starting homeward in preparation for the coming school year. The festivities at the many resorts in the East and Northeast are continuous these last few days of the Summer season, and many from Washington who went abroad carly in the Summer have returned for these gayeties. Generously inter- the parties for pleasure’s sake are the charity garden parties, Miss Ailsa Mellon, daughter of the Secre- tary of the Treasury, has been active in Southampton affairs for several Summers, and this year she is even more so. Farther North, Mrs. Joseph Ieiter has loaned the gardens of her Summer home, at Beverley, Mass., for a party Saturday afternoon to aid the Children's Hospital in Boston. Mrs. Leiter has long been one of the leaders among the charities for the aid of little ones in Washnigton, and is one of the most prominent work- ers for the Children’s Country Home. spersed wi tes and amateur theatricals HE return of the President and Mrs. Coolidge from White Court, though not definitely announced, has been rumored to have beenset for the middle of this week, but if the weather is discouraging they will probably remain at Swampscott until the middle of September. Their vacation has been a thoroughly delightful one. much recreation as possible, and at the same time have had both personal and official. Mrs. Coolidge’s secretary, Miss Mary Randolph, has returned here from several weeks’ rest in the North, and is again on duty at the White House, awaiting the reutrn of the first lady of the land elves a many visitors VERY resort—mountain, lake and sea—is holding golf and tennis tour- naments, and not a few are having horse shows for the close of the eason. The annual horse show at White Sulphur Springs, given for so many vears at the Meadows, the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Thornton Lewis, was held vesterday, and Mrs. Lewis, as usual, was among the first to list her entries. Mrs. Lewis was formerly Miss Elizabeth Harrison, a niece of the late former President Benjamin Harrison, and a visitor at the White House during his administration. She and Mr. Lewis have made heir home at White Sulphur for many years, and ouly come to Wash- igton for short visits. The show is now given by the Greenbrier White Sulphur Horse Show Association, but until very recently has been “the horse show at the ‘Old White. The show each year has brought eut greater interest, and this year the association is justified in an application for admission to Society of American Horse Shows. The show yes- terday was followed by a ball, given last evening at the Greenbrier Hotel. The Hot Springs in Virginia is completing arrangements for a three- day open golf meet for the Fairacre challenge cup, to be played at the Cascades, beginning Labor day. Bar Harbor has just completed its tennis week.” and so has Newport, where the entries are by invitation, and there was much entertaining at both resorts. Mrs. Hunt Slater and Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, both of Washington, gave several parties in their Summer homes at Bar Harbor, and at Newport Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt were hostesses to the players on several occasions Tm-: stay of the Belgian debt funding commission was none the less interesting for the shortness of the visit, and there were several parties, as informal in nature as such festivities could be, given by the members of the American commission meeting with them, and an im- promptu and farewell dinner which the Ambassador of Belgium, Baron de Cartier, gave after the signing of the agreement. . y Closely following the Belgians will be the French and Italian mis- sions, and in a few weeks the commission from Rumania. The fact that the members of these missions come without their wives means that they “come to work.” and the few parties are seldom arranged more than a day or so ahead Two September Wedding Engagemnecs Announced Mr. and Mrs. Robert Otis Howard Colombian Official To Attend State Fete The Colombian government will be They have given them- | announce the engagement of their daughter, Edna.

The wedding will take place the early part of September, represented at the diamond jubilee in San Francisco next month, celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the State's entrance into the Union, by the Colombjan consul general in San Francisco, Senor Alvaro Rebolledo, and Senor Joaquin Samper, a dis- tinguished Colombian_banker. The diplomats of the Latin-American countries have been especlally in- vited and it is probable that each country will send representatives. | Fa A o with Cof.

Though Senator Rice William Means of Colorado was elected only for the short term left vacant by the death of Samuel D. Nicholson, he has faith in his star, for part of this Summer he and Mrs. Means have been looking over the field for a house which they can purchase for a home. By a coincidence, Senator Means was the opponent of the late Senator Nicholson in the campaign of 1920, and he lost out in the primaries only | by a length, so to speak. Last Autumn he defeated Morris Shafroth, Democrat, when Senator Alva Adams, wha had been appointed for the few months before election, stepped out to make the race for the long term. Senator and Mrs. Means came to Washington last December, but Mrs. Means did not remain permanently, since ltke 80 many women of the West she was interested in activities which she could not let drop at once. She is a native of Grand Rapids and belongs to a family of Michigan long before the public eve, and_of which Don Dickinson, one time Postmaster Gen- eral, was a member. Her romance began in Ann Arbor when her hus- band, then fresh from a strenuous campaign in the Philippines in which he had command of & company of scouts, decided to give up a military career and go in for the law. As Miss Frances Dickinson she was in her Junior year when she first met young Rice William Means of Denver, Col., and the affection between the two grew gradually and quietly, and it was not until the young lawyer had hung out his shingle in his home city and she had taken her degree at college that the marriage took place in April, 1902. Mr. Means brought his bride to Denver, which had been his home since his_tenth ‘“year.

Mme. Daeschner and her daughters will not return to this country until October and it {s probable that the Ambassador will go abroad to accom- pany his family back. The Ambassador of Argentina and Senora de Pueyrredon will be joined early next month at Newport by their two sons-in-law and daughters.

Indications this week were that unless something fout of the ordinary developed the President would be on the North Shore until after Labor day, and that the| stay might be prolonged to the middle | | of the month. For the President and | Mr Coolidge and to all of the at t es of the White House, the Sum- mer has been a season of delight. To many it was the first sojourn on the North Shore, and there is an indication that the North Shore will continue to be the seat of the Summer White House during the Coolidge administra- tion, even if Swampscott is not to be the Summer capital for four years. Mayflower Ball. ¢ith light and gay with life, the Mayflower, President Coolidg ht, tugging at her moor- ings off the Marblehead shore, was the scene of a brilliant party Tuesday evening, the first formal bail the ship has seen in many vears, and quite one of the bright-lettered events in its socfal history, The officers of the President’s yacht gave the ball in honor of friends in the North Shore colony and in appreciation of the many _interesting things done for them during their North Shore ren- dezvous. It was a perfect night aboard ship—the moon was not full, but the lights, the pretty women and the Navy men in white dress uniform, made a picture that thrilled and will be one long to be remembered. Capt. Adolphus Andrews and the officers of the Mayflower did the honors nicely, and among the guests were Rear Ad- miral Louis R. De A. Steiguer, com- mander of the Charlestown navy yard, and officers from aboard other Nav. ships in North Shore ports.

Mr. Morris was long in the diplomatic ice, and was formerly American to Sweden. The Morrises have a Summer place—Eagle Head- at Magnolia, where Mrs. Morris came for a_short stay before sailing for abroad. The President is proving a great ex ponent of the community spirit so much in_evidence along the North Shore. While he Summers in Swamp. scott, his yacht, the Mayflower, is moored in ~ Marblehead, he attends church in Salem and the drinking water for the officers and crew on the Mayflower is brought from Beverly so all four places have an interest in his stay If there is to be a League of Na tions or a World Court, it would not be difficult to get a Summer confe ence on the North Shore. The Italia embassy is here, so is the German and the British, and the French Ambas sador, M. Emile Daeschner, has re cently left the North Shore after a pleasant tarry, where he was enter tained by Representative A. Platt A1 drew and by the John Hays Ham monds at their Gloucester homes. The diplomatic corps has been much enter- tained during the Summer—ever: thing possible was done to make the stay pleasant and in return they have often expressed appreciation of the courtesies of the people and the charm of the sea-swept country along this ction of the Massachusetts coast. T is probable that the embassles wii continue to grow in number, especi ly if the Summer capital continue to be on the North Shore. Italian Envoy Expected. The Conte Gian Franco della Porta will be on the North Shore until ea: September, when he and the cont 4 will leave for Rome, and later will go to Rumania, where the conte will take up his new post as Italian Ministe: Signor Giacomo de Martino, the Ital fan Ambassador, is expected to return to Beverly Farms next week after having been to Rome in connection with affairs of government.
