Talbott, who is de seribed as one of the loveliest brides of the Autumn, was “Peggy” Thayer, a v little maid of 8, when, with er, she was rescued from the Titanic, but her father, John Borland Thayer, went down with gallant men for whom there was no room in the lifeboats eggy” Thayer's marrlage to her comrade of many hunting trips in the Canadian Ro. liant function of mid-September mother’s home, in B Mz The bride’s sister, Polly () floffman Dolan), who Is one of the Quaker City's talented musicians gave a violin recital, standing at the foot of the stairway, while awaiting the descent of the pageant.

The genial Secre- tary at once asked information of the citles which the scc ntended to visit, and when young Arthur D. Jami- son of Dertoit, who {s American man- ager of the tour, accompanied by Don- ald MacGlll of Glasgow, Scotland, man ager of the international board, called at the State Department about the middle of September they received the. most agreeable surprise of their lives. They were received by the kindly head of the department, given a nice little speech about the marvels they are to see in the Southern Hemisphere, and were then handed personal letters from the Secretary to every ambasea- dor, minister or consular officer of the capitals and chief cities they are to visit. The scouts sailed on the Pan- American on September 26, and will pass through the canal, stopping first at the capital of the small re- public of Panama, resuming their voy- age and landing in Colombia. They then go by rail or boat to every capi- tal of Latin America, returning on the same ship on_which they sailed, the Pan-America, December 21, from Bue- nos Aires. Mr. Mortimer L. Schiff, international scout commissioner, and a group of New York bankers have financed this tour. Mrs. Stuart Duncan, who is one of the leading hostesses of Newport and whose musicals in Bonniecrest, the lovely Tudor house which Mr. Duncan built 10 years ago on Bellevue avenue, have been the most popular events of the Summer in the younger set, is en- gaged in a notable reform. Like all genuine lovers of music, Mrs. Dun- can deplores the prevalence of jazz to the exclusion of better offerings, though she grants that jazz has its place and fulfills a good mission. She is clever with both banjo and guitar and she can fmprovise an accompan! ament to those haunting negro melo. dies so beloved of the past generation like “Darling Nellie Gray,” “Mass in the Cold, Cold Ground,” “Loren and some 20 others, sentimental and Iyrical, which reached their height of fame in the 70s. To listen to this talented songstress sitting on the marble terrace of Bonnlecrest in the moonlight is to realize how worthy are the productions of the past, espe- cially those from Stephen Foster's fertile pen. The most ardent lover of jazz can realize that some songs are better at times, and that a perfect waltz may be danced to those lilting tunes of 50 years ago. Mrs. Duncan can sing the Mexican songs, like “Go- londrina” and “La Paloma,” most en. trancingly, and under her skillful guidance her young friends are tak- ing up the music of the past and verandah musicales in the moonlight 1 to the accompaniment of ukelele, anjo and guitar are becoming fre- quent at Newport. This charming re- former was before her marriage Miss | Germain Stoddard, daughter of the Rev. Charles Augustus Stoddard, for many years editor of the Observer. Mrs. Richard Derby, who was \Jh« Fthel Rooseveit and a near Wast tonian, since she passed the first hatt of her life has_recently been elected the secretary of the Bird Club of Long Island, founded by the late | Theodore Roosevelt about 10 years' ago. Col. Roosevelt had from boy- hood been interested in the feathered tribes of Oyster Bay, and one of the first of his published nature studies had them as a theme. He had been a member of the Audubon Soclety, quite popular among the boys and girls of his generation in New York City, and had contributed continually to its literature. But in his later vears this versatile former Chief Magistrate desired to make the birds of Long Island better known to the residents and so he issued a call which was enthusiastically answered. Col. Roosevelt was elected first president and served until his death. His suc- cessor was Mrs. Robert Bacon, who served until two years ago, when she gave way to the present president, Mrs. Edward M. Townsend. Mrs. Bacon is chairman of the executive committee and assoclated with her are both the senior and junior Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt, Mr. Clarence Mackay, Mrs. James A. Burden and others of Long Island’s most distinguished citi- zens. Mrs. Derby, who perhaps has been less in the limelight than any of the children of the late Theodore Roosevelt, has been a most active contributor to the club’s literary ac- tivities. Through her energetic di- rection the laws for the protection of bird life have been conspicuously posted all over the island and fascl- nating little bits of information about caring for these good friends of the gardener and of the farmer have been generally circulated. Aiss Doris Francklyn, daughter of 57 G. Francklyn ure road in S . L. I, was at the same juncture of time when Col. Roosevelt was organizing his bird club interest- ing him in her scheme for founding a needle guild in behalf of the Shinne- cock Indians, once the sole owners land of -pachantment. Miss Wy in pm(h(‘r-l i 2 and Phila-| - A. GHANI, Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. E. F. Wil- she sailed September 9, for Eu- rope and Asia, and will lafer make her home In Cairo, Egypt. Francklyn's innovation met with uni- versal favor and every Summer the annual display of the work of these Indians on the Shinnecock reserva- tion is the most brilliant soclal feature about Southampton and draws im- mense crowds not only from the sland but from New York and adja- cent citfes. The Indians reap a golden harvest and the householders of the resort rejoice in unique floor cover- ings, drapings and cushions for the verandas. M Francklyn's pet project, that of maintaining in all its excellence the ancient native indus- tries of the aboriginal people of that famous resort, has been tremendously successful and the Indlans have en- tirely given up modern methods and returned to the traditional ways of their people in dyeing, beading, pre- paring leather and weaving, finding the old ways easier for them and much more profitable at the annual fair. This year a cabaret was added to the evening entertainment and the belles and swains gave thelr services and tripled the financial returns. Mr. Austen Chamberlaih, present British minister of foreign affairs, has, to ‘the vast amusement of his neighbors in Oxfordshire, taken up the félling of trees as his special fad and the sound of his ax may be heard in the densest portion of the park every spare hour. Not since the days of Gladstone has any British pub- lic man of importance taken to tree chopping. though there are outstand- ing figures of other lands—Theodore Roosevelt and President Coolidge in this and the former kaiser in Hol 1a who have deemed handling the ax a fine outlet for their feelings and a most excellent exercise. But the opposition British press pokes sly fun at Mr. Chamberlain’s fad and re- calls that Gladstone frequently con- fided to friends that he did not care a tinker's anathema either for the emotional outlet or for the exercise of cutting down trees. His concern was to scatter chips about so abun- dantly that relic hunters always prowling through his park at Hawar- den could get all they wanted with- out despolling trees and bushes which Mr. Chamberlain has not confessed to heing troubled with relic hunters, though his rivals hint that he is preparing for them. of the leading hostesses of . Mrs. George McKinlock and 1 McCormick, have sailed week for the venerable po Barcelona, lured thither by lhe fascinating artist Zu- loago, who was the guest of both at different times during the past Win- ter at Palm Beac Miss McCormick was with Mrs. McKinlock all last Win- ter and under her guidance purchased a villa of her own. which she will use after December. The illustrious Span- ish artist was the lion of the hour and he painted Miss McCormick during his sojourn. He is holding a salon of his American’ canvases in his great studlos in Barcelona and Madrid, and there are many Americans bound for Spain next month to visit the artist. As Senor Zuloago has the friendship of King Alfonso and all the royal family and the powerful court officials, these Americans will have unheard of opportunities for enjoying themselves. Miss McCormick bears a striking re- semblance to Lord Byron in his early twenties and sketches of her dressed in the poetic garb of the nineteenth entury’s opening vears created a fu- rore when presented for inspection to the Byron soclety of London. Zuloago, who was the guest of the Spanish Ambassador and Senora Riano last Spring and who met all of Washing- ton's celebritles, has a wonderful studio in the grim, gaunt mountains near the sea coast, where he finishes his canvases after making preliminary sketches in the city studios. Though Spain’s foremost artist received more commissions in this country than he could fill in 50 years, he is on record as saying he could never work here at all, so noisy and exciting did he find it. ‘MUSKRAT Muskrat makes a coat that gives any girl a feeling of pride and affluence.
