‘Tales of Well Known Folk - In and Out of Washington Restzand Seclusion Await President Coolidge at { White Pine Camp—Gov. Smith Saves Wild Flowers—Plans of Royalty. BYMARGARET B. DOWNING. ‘White Pine Camp, in the Adiron- dacks, where the President and Mrs. Coolldge hope to find genuine rest and solitude, is secluded and easily pa- trolled and guarded from intruders, but nevertheless it is but 2 miles from the main highway between New York and Montreal and one of the busiest highways in the country. As the crow fies, or as the motor roads now go, it is not remote from the most fashionable camps in this region, those about Upper St. Regis Lake, and Paul Smith's renowned landing is but 5 miles disfant. Osgood Lake, around which White Pine Camp has been bullt, is one of the most primitive re- malning in the mountain range, and within 200 feet of the clearing for the dwelling the wilderness closes in as picturesquely and completely as in the great unexplored woods of northern Canada. Mr. Irwin R. Kirkwood, the owner of this unique estate, is the publisher of the Kansas City Star, and his wife, the daughter of t city's most famous editor and mewspaper man, the late William R. Nelson, was a friend of Mrs. Coolidge for many years. It had often been the intention of the President and his wife in years past to visit Mr. and Mrs. Kirk wood at White Pine Camp, but those who are fortuante enough to own a home in Vermont have not the press- ing need to keep cool quarters in Summer, and of course in any other season the Kirkwoods would not be there. Lady Ellenborough, widow of the seventh lord of that name, is a fre- quent visitor to her mother's old home in Pittsburgh, and she has recently been in that city to assist at some dedicatory exercises in the handsome Schenley Park. This peeress is the daughter of Mr. Edward Schenley, formerly of Halifax but one of the Iron City’s successful business men in his latter vears. Mrs. Schenley re- moved to London after her husband's death and it is her handsome resi dence in Prince’'s Gate, Hyde Park, which she sold to J. Pierpont Morgan, the elder, which is now being re- modeled as the American embassy. Lady Ellenborough’s late husband was the fifth in descent from the Lord Ellenborough of the eighteenth century, whose son, Thomas Law was &0 heavy a speculator in the real estate of the Federal Capltal, and who | married the stepdaughter of George ‘Washington, Elizabeth Custis. That Lord Ellenborough was Bishop of Carlisle, and it was his heir who be- came the famous barrister and lord chancellor of the realm. Thomas Law never used any title in this country, though he could have done so, but he was much sought by all British visi- tors of that early day, and his house the most pretentious in Washington during the first decade of its exist- ance. The present Lady Ellenborough has no children and the title goes to & collateral branch. But her fortune, inherited from her parents, renders her independent as to income, and this will probably return to this country and to her brother, the second Ed ward Schenley, who lives in Pitts- burgh. M. Jules and Mme. Jusserand may assuredly be relied upon to return to | Washington if the recently launched | plans (o erect a monument to Ad-| miral De Grasse materialize, for this was a -pet project of the former Am- bassador from France. In his book “Comrades in Arms” M. Jusserand emphasizes the heavy debt which American liberty owed to the French admiral, who with ms fleet so ably reinforced the armies of Washington and Rochambeau outside of York- town. In many addresses delivered on ‘patriotic occasions in this country he has explained that e colonists owed more to De Grasse than to Rochambeau and LaFayette com- bined, yet no memorial has ever been erected to him, though lesser hernes have been honored. A fine bust of the French admiral adorns the main cor- ridor of the French embassy, placed by the former Amba and left there when he remc s personal possessions, when he and Mme. Jus- serand returned to Ir anuary, 1926. The well loved Gallic statesman June Bride I MRS. JOSEPH KAY, Who_was before her marriage Sun. day Miss Sophie Spectre, daughter of Mr. Louis ‘Speetre. and scholar always hoped to awaken the American conscience to the debt owing the memory of De Gm!n,‘nnfl without doubt, had mot the World War and the chaos which followed prevented, he would have launched his campaign, after tne manner of M. Cambon In regard to Rochambeau. An unhappy fate befell the gallant French naval hero, who salled to ald Washington and the allied French army without instructions to do so from the ministry of the marine in Parls. His splendid achievement in Chesapeake Bay was nullified when after saving the day for the Ameri- can patriots at Yorxtown his fleet was destroyed by Lord Rodney off Jamaica, and he fell from favor in the French court. M. Jusserand very eloquently brought out this point many times in speeches and in es- says, and now that popular attention is turned on the matter, this oversight will probably be promptly repalred. Baron de Kalb s another foreign hero to whom no honor has been paid, although the Continental Congress appropriated a sum for his statue and publicly thanked him, in company with the others in the group of aliens who deserved well of the American republic. Rochambeau and Lafayette, the two Poles, Kosciuszko and Pulas- ki, and Von Steuben, the Prussian. Baron Johann de Kalb fell upon the fleld of battle at Camden, 8. C., on August 19, 1780. He was among the first of the noble warriors from Europe to offer his sword to the Con- tinental Congress, and he arrived in Philadelphla early in September, 1776. But beyond the debt which the great republic of the United States ow foreign soldiers who bore arms on its battle flelds is the one remaining due the memory of Beaumarchals, the lover of liberty, who furnished the funds needful for LaFayette, for De Kalb and for Von Steuben to cross the ocean. Benjamin Franklin_has left indisputable evidence of Beaumar- chais’ devotion to the cause of the colonists, and *“vet his name is known only to historical scholars, and to the youth of America it is as allen as something in the stars,” isanother re- buke which M. Jusserand passed to the American people on the theme of forelgn heroes in the parks of the Na- tional Capital. Ericsson's monument has served to arouse attention trom scholars and_statesmen to the fact thut many debts are owing the herves who helped win the war of Inde- pendence, and that these should be paid in full before any more statues are erected in Washington parks to later assistants in less Important conflicts. ‘The American Ambassador at Rom: Mr. Henry Prather Fletcher, has r | cently communijcated to the Secreta of State that the diplomatic_establish- ment in the Italian capital may, if the powers that be are willing. become the purchaser of the beautiful and historic Villa Aldobrandini, the high- lying gardens of which dominate Via Nationale at one of its important points. An embassy building in Rome solely the property of the Government would be a boon to the much-har- issed diplomatists sent to this capi- tal, for there are comparatively no small buildings to be obtained for love, money or the most potent political influence. The present quarters of the American embassy on the Tiber are two floors in the mammoth Palazzo Amici in Via San Bernardo, and naturally Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher would préfer an establishment of rea- sonable size which would serve as a dwelling and chancelry and be ade- quate for the amenities of all seasons. Villa _Aldobrandini would serve this end, having a marvelous garden laid out by its original tenant, an opulent Florentine churchman of the house of Aldobrandini who ascended the papal throne in 1692 as Clement VIII. There are the usual number of drawing. rooms, all of which are needful on formal occasions, and besides all con- venlences for al fresco dinings and concerts which form part of the Roman routine two-thirds of the yvear. Congress recently appropriated the funds for the purchase of embassy buildings and Palazzo Aldobrandini would be in every sense comparable to the other establishments recently ac- quired by the American Government. In this instance the grounds are so extensive that future demands on space are secured at a price not too ezorbitant for the times or for their potential value. Smith of New York has re- signed a bill making the de- on of trailing arbutus an offense for which severe penalties are decreed, and he has special men of the State police who keep an eye out for vandals in spots where this lovely wild vine is most exuberant. But the governor and the flower lovers of New York pin more faith in instructions in the schools than in the efforts of the officers of the law, and in every school in rural New York or in sub- urban schools films of these wild vines and of other flowers will be made and exhibited several times a week, to show clearly to children what their ruthless gathering of flowers, to be tossed away in a short time, means to the aspect of the country. In- structions about birds’ nests will sup- plement the flower talks, but the Audobon S 'ty has proven quite ef- fective in_stopping this kind of van- dalism. But the governor and his school board believe that co-operation will be powerful with the end that both birds and flowers will be pro- tected. Wild violets have also been included in the plants which it fs unlawful to pick or transplant, and azalea, laurel and rhododendron have been for vears guarded along the Pali- sades of the Hudson, as they aresall over the States of Massachusetts and Connecticut. Gov. Lady Byng of Vimy, wife of the Governor General of ‘anada, had been noted for many years past for her extensive and practical study of plant _life, but her interest is not the dry_dissection into & botanical classi- KAPLOWITZ INCORPORATED 721 NINTH STREET NORTHWEST FOR MADAME AND MADEMOISELLE DRESS AND SPORTJS COATS AT HALF PRICE ENTIRE STOCK - STORE WILLOBEN AL8AM. - | ) SHINGTON, VISITING IN NEW YORK M Daughter of Gen. and Mi weeks to friends in New fication, but rather a study of new plants and their habits with a view to transferring them into a garden Thus she delights in tramping the hills about Ottawa, and as a result many flowers taken from secluded corners {n the wilds now furnish rich variety to the gardens about the Gov- ernment House at the capital of the Dominion. Lady Byng has accom- panied her husband on his visits through the thousands of miles which comprise the Canadian outpost of the British Empire, and in every place she has indulged in her love of flower hunting. Her custom is, when she has leisure and after all the formal ceremonies of the governor's visita- tion are ended, to seek recreation by walking into the nearest open coun , armed with a small, sharp knife trowel and a special sachet lined with rubber for transportation. When some unknown flower pleases her it was_taken up, the location carefully marked and it was glven a trial in a secluded part of her gardens. She has glorious beds filled with flowers known only to the lovers of the wild, but under cultivation showing depend- able qualities and adding new names to the list of desirable garden plants. Mrs. Frederic Cameron Church, for- merly Miss Muriel Vanderbilt, pur- chased, when the contents of the sta- bles of the late Reginald Vanderbilt were sold at auction, the many times champlon, Fortitude, the hackney which had won dozens of prizes in the days when his owner was paramount in horse racing. Mrs. Church pro. poses to drive the famous horse her- self and then to provide for a comfort- able old age for the gallant steed. Her father, William K. Vanderbilt and the late Regi d Vanderbilt were great chums, and as a small child she had_often visited the stables outside of Newport. Mr. and Mrs. Church propose to spend the Summer in New- port, and they have recently leased the Bull estate, which for some years past has been fdentical with the so- cial activities of Mr. and Mrs. Bev- erly Bogert. Their marriage occurred a year ago at Beechmont, which Mrs. Willlam K. Vanderbilt had leased last Summer. Mrs. Vanderbilt does not intend, however, to go to Newport this_year, but with her son, Willlam K. 3d, and her daughter, Mrs. Earl Smith, will spend the heated term in Southampton, salling in September for Europe. Mrs. Vanderbilt has been detained in New York longer than she usually remalns attending to her new house in lower Fifth avenue, where she has a dwelling and office most ar- tistically combined. Mr. and Mrs. Smith have not yet set up their house- hold gods, being devoted to motoring, and between trips passing the time with Mrs. Vanderbilt in one of her several homes or with Mr. Vanderbilt on his yachts. Mrs. John Francis Amhersf Cecll was one of the prominent exhibitors at the Biltmore Korest Horse Show and that her mount, Commodore, won all the honors in the saddle division was not surprising.

Not only does it quickly smooth out the wrinkles and age lines—before one's very eyes—but it has a stimulating influence upon the weakened and relaxed under- lving tissues. The mixture is spread over the face with the ‘lflngerupc, and in less than fifteen minutes the mirror shows that a most marvelous transformation has taken place. When the substance is washed off the average face actually looks ten or fifteen years younger. The results are far better than those obtainable from the most ex- | pert massaging—and the cost is less than 3 cents a treatment! Powdered Tarkroot can be had at any drug store.

Mr. andgMrs. Cecil had been entertalning a number of guests whilst the show was being prepared and among these were Mr. Thomas Watley Raoul, president of the Biit- more Forest Club; Mrs. A. S. Wheeler, the vice president, and Burnham Col burn. Mrs. Cecil also entertained the 16 youngsters who rode in the show immediately after the brilllant - tea dance given at the Biltmore House on the opening day. Mr. Lammot du Pont has ane of the most_ beautiful rose gardens in that region of lovely country homes about Wilmington, Del., for his is a very old garden with graceful curving walks of flagged stones with the turf grow- ing between, an effect so impossible to produce except through age. This estate, though not 8o large as that of Plerre du Pont at Longview, across the Pennsylvania, nor as ornate as that of Irense du Pont, president of the great manufacturing plant, Grue- ogue, in Delaware, has all the charm of the venerable park, lawn and garé den in which the growing things were carefully chosen in the beginning and now show the result of years of in- telligent care. The rose garden is an informal plot just below a dainty little tea house which, when climbing roses are in bloom, presents a brilliant and inspiring sight. But the roses in the round, oblong and square beds fringed with gay low edging flowers, are of the perpetual blooming sort, which may be relied on to furnish color and fragrance from May until November. They are massed inta contrasting hues, the coppery yellows and apricots blending with the deep orange of such glorious blooms as the sunburst furnishes with the shaded yellow and pink of the Ophelia. These in turn shade off to the vivid pinks and reds and between are pure white roses to emphasize the gay gamut of colors all about. They are Dutch gar- dens in the Spring and colonial paint ings for Summer and Autumn, but the rose garden is the queen of the vari ous divisions and the favorite resting place of the family, especlally after tea has been served and evening be- gins to gather. An international wedding of much interest occurred in Parls during the past week when Miss Jessis da Costa, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles F Da Costa, married Mr. James Gamble, a well known artist of Philadelphia who has for two years cast tent on the Seine. Mr. Da Costa helongs to the eminent Cubun family and is a banker of repute. His wife was Miss Jullet Biddle, and the bride i a first cousin of Mrs. Charles A Munn, who was Miss Mary Astor Paul. The wedding reception was held at the charming home of Mr Munn, as the Da Costa's sed preparatory to their annual visit to Philadelphis Mr. Gamble is a graduate of Princeton 1916, and has an enviable record &s an artist and a sportsman. He was in Paris when the World War began and he immediately joined the Rled Cross and served for three years as a fleld director and received the French medal of the Legion of Honor and also the War Cross and the Order of Merit of the American government He is from Philadelphia and belongs to the group of artists about Ritten house Square, whose canvasses are so displayed in the Academy of Art Since the war, Mr. Gamble has spert more time in France than in Philadel- phia, though he still maintains a home in that city, ana he has given valuable service to the rehabilitation committees, making free-hand draw ings and aiding in house plants and street adornments. Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Da Costa have a charming Summer home at Villa_Nova, Pa., ad- joining that of Mrs. Willlam Biddle Calwalader, and Mr. and Mrs. Gam- ble will spend the Summer there. In visiting ewport, the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden have followed the older tradition of royalty in coming to this country, and in some degree will make amends for the deep disappointment felt when the Prince of Wales, during his last visit, spent all his time in Long Island.

COTTAGE IS FURNISHED FOR PRINCESS VICTORIA Sister of King George, Constant Companion of Mother, to Have Own Home. By the Associated Pre LONDON, June —Queen Mary and the Queen of Norway have put the finishing touches on an attrac- tive cottage home which Princess Victoria has acquired in the quaint village of Iver in Buckinghamshire. The princess is now recuperating from a recent attack of pneumonia and soon will take up her permanent home in the cottage. This will be the first time Princess Victorla has ever had a home of her own. She was always the devoted company of her mother, the late Queen Dowager Alexander, and lived most of her life at Sandringham or Marlborough liouse. Many of her treasured possessions have been moved to her new cot- tage, including her favorite portrait of her mother, which used to hang in Marlborough House. Her grand piano. a gift from King Edward, has also been transferred to Iver. There will be only woman servants in the new house, all of them being from the staff which served the princess at Sandringham. KEY SOLVES MYSTERY.
