THE SUNDAY NTAR, WASHINGTON h———————*_'——————_____—__ Tales of Well Known Folk In Soci_aland Official Life U. S.

The American_Amb: Un, Dr. Jacob Schu family are enjoying in the ¢ days of ave ly inspiring German capital. Tt is well that the envoy from this country to the erman republic is in every sense a cosmopolite, for he must have had somewhat mixed feelings when he re- ceived an invitation to attend the lay ing of the « stone of the memo ial which Germany proposes to erect In cologne to the Unknown Soldier. In the neland, according to the terms of the v of Versailles, Ger. many is arred from maintaining any “military force and uno soldier or officer in_uniform is per mitted to appear in Cologne, Coblentz, Mainz, Bonn or other Rhine clties, and cepted, the allied council cannot well refuse to allow the memo of an unknown who died in the Fatherland during the ssador to Ber nn, and his their new home 1 the gay w nd will repr an ordi yman and it will be a special tribute to the two millions in that rank who gave up their lives for | the Hohenzollern cause.

There is a strong probability that the foreign office in London intends very shortly to raise its legation to an embassy in the cap ital of the Argentine.

Sir Mal coln and.Lady Robertson spent the | past Summer at Hot Springs, Va where they have built a pleasant villa near the home of Mrs. Ingalls Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, 2d, has with commendable zeal, begun a campaign for tidier and more deco- ative exteriors in city homes and of fices as well as in the resorts. Last Spring_she had boxes of pink and white Roman hyacinths in every win dow of her Fifth avenue mansion, actually from cellar to attic, and when these blooms had passed their prime they were replaced with gay lfttle | primroses and low-growing verbenas. This effect was carried out in the of fice which Mrs. Vanderbilt keeps, u few houses removed from her dwell ing. When the primroses faded, white and blue and pink petunias succeeded, and these bloom until frost. Mrs. Vanderbilt made a few converts in her neighborhood, but the majority of house dwellers thereabout in fashion able New York pay scant attention to the exterior of thelr city homes, and lowers and gardens to them mean the country place or the cottage by the sea. Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Kenneth O'Brien, whom she has in terested in her idea, are going to have classes in this sort of window garden- ing and they hope next season to have Fifth avenue resemble London and Berlin, where window boxes make so delightful a part of the view. The Earl of Lonsdale, who has just placed his historic country seat, Bar- ley Thorpe Hall, near Oakham, in Rutlandshire, on’ the market bec | of his tnabflity to pay the heavy war required on unimpoved real estate, will no doubt find a purchaser | of his stables in some American ho |lover. These stables are so virst that | | the earl was able in the beginning of | | the World War to offer asylum to the | | fine private collection of horses owned | by King Albert of the Belgians and | who shipped them over to Dover just | | advance of the German occupation of Antwerp and Ostend. About 130 | horses were sheltered all through the | ywar, and the full list of royval equi | pages from the palaces at Laeken and | Brussels were likewise sent to lh\-‘ | Lonsdale stables. King Albert, it is said, would greatly desire to purchase a part of this fine old property, but because of internal factions in the| political parties in Belglum, there is| declared hostility against the sov- | ereign acquiring forelgn domictles The Earl of Lonsdale is making a special effort to sell advantageously | what is deemed the most complete and | ancient collection of horse shoes in| | the world. The collection dates back | to 1154, when Henry II reigned in England, and both from the antiqua | rlan standpoint and from the sporting | idea, it would make a valuable ad-| | Junct to a jockey club or to a museum | of natural history. Shoes from horses ridden by British soverelgns from | Henry I, the founder of the Plantag anet line, down through the dynasties | of York, Lancaster and Tudor. to the present Tine of Windsor are all repre- sented, some of the oldest being three and four feet across, and many mount ed on gold and silver with the royal arms handsomely embossed. r Robert Kindersley. who has just esigned from a post which he long held as governor of the Hudson Bay Company, intends to spend his newly acquired leisure in travel in this coun- try and in the Old World.

Robert M. Thompson, who has spent part the Summer in Europe in activities which make him a sort of liaison officer between American and alien sportsmen, has returned to this country and is at present at his villa in Southampton. Col. Thompson is one of the enthusiastic members of the American playground committee, but he recently resigned the chair- manship to take over mbre delicate dutfes. He believes that the troubles and misunderstandings which marked the Olympic games in Parls were the result of a rather befuddled state of things in every part of the Old World and 1f the games were once centered in, this country’ with its immense re- sources -to entertain all visitors prop- erly and with the keen sporting sense which mark the American people in all walks of life, a new era would set in for this classic celebration. At any rate Col. Thompson has been devoting his time to this end and if any one can turn the trick, he is the man. | The United Statés wishes to continue participation in the Olympic games, but some incidents must be cleared up |in order to interest the athletes of this country, many of whom cherish a mense of grievance because of treat- ment received in Paris. This vener- able lover of peace and promoter of true sport will give much of his time this Winter to smoothing out the| crinkles and in making plans for the future.

Plitt entertained at 2 dance at her home Wednesday evening in honor of her nfece and nephew, Mr. and Mrs. C. Sydney Neville, visitors from the Canal Zone. Those asked to meet them included Mr. and Mrs. George Charles, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Hasselbush, Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Schofield, Mr. and Mrs. August Hasselbush, Miss Rosemarye Bales, Mr. Lionel Gudeau, Miss Ruth Apperson and Mr. Richard Oden. Mrs. Willlam Hasselbush assisted her mother in receiving. the character of the people of her adoption. For if the War Department | records are examined there is a de- pressing niguber of French wives of former Americal is who have become unhapp: sted on re. turning to their native land. Many of | center of culture, wealth and refine- | these have been deserted by the sol diers, who wooed them so ardently in| war times, and the offirials of the War Department are frank to say that the leaders of the American Army into France frowned on these marriages from the first. Such a depth of cul tural training separated these girls rom their husbands that unhappiness was bound to result. In some cases youths reared in luxurious surround ings married French peasants and could not accust#m them to thes new environment. In more cases it was| the other way round and Frerich | demoselles used to the liveliness of the | city and to gay apparel were unable | to endure life on farms or in isolated | places in this country. Mme. Jus-| serand eventually succeeded in col comfortable sum and these self-made widows are taken care of until they get lucrative employment or can refoin their family circie and settle down into its routine. No fig that at least two-thirds of war-time romances between members of the| A. E. F. and French women have| ended in the dreary precincts of the courts. Mr. Elihu Root, who has been one of the most energetic members of the patriotic committee appointed some yeurs @46 to preserve old Faunces'| Tavern in New York City, as a per petual memorial of the fathers of the nation, makes it a point to take all | eminent visitors in whom he is in terested to visit the venerable inn. Seemingly this old bullding, where Washington parted with his Army, is untouched by the changes so apparent all around it in the neighborhood of Broad and Peal streets, and the quaint | low brick buflding stands open all the year. Tt is estimated that more than 10,000 visitors write their names an n in the big book.

Col. Emérson Is of the opinion that American resorts need to look ities of the ocean fronts just as much as the vast ma- jority of cities need- to take similar steps about a river front.
