" Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Mr Bay Home—Gifted Foreigner—Mar BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. When Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt was mistress of the White House her placid manner was noticeable on all occasions possibly as against the dash and haste which marked her husband. This calmness has seem- " ingly increased with the years, and, according to her friends in New York, nothing is more restful than & visit to Sagamore Hill, and a chat with its mistress. One day last week Mrs. Roosevelt had a reunion of her classmates in Miss Comstock’s School In the early 80's and the oc- casion was of deep significance to the hostess. Among the visitors was Mrs. Carl von Mayhoff, who was so frequently entertained by the Roo: velts at the White House while her brother, for whom she was hostess, the late Jefferson Levy, was in Con- gress. Mr. Levy and Mrs. von May- off entertained the President and Mrs. Roosevelt at Monticello during the days when the Representative owned the home of the author of the Declaration of Independence. Mrs. Frederic A. Constable was another of Mrs. Roosevelt's girlhood friends at Miss Comstock’s, in Forty-fifth street, who was present at the reunion: Mrs. Vernon Carlton Brown, Mrs, Willlam W. McAlpin, Mrs. Francis W. Murry, Mrs. J. J. Gunther, Mrs. Joseph Reymolds Guerney and Mrs, Frank Dyckman were also of the com- pany. Mrs. Richard Derby. who was Fthel Roosevelt, aided her mother in entertaining the guests and one of the prinicipal diversions was ex- amining a book of snapshots of Paulina Longworth, taken with her father, her mother, her nurse, her dog and dolls and in every conceivable pose. When Mrs. Charles Whitman Waet- more lived in Woodland drive, her niece, Miss Elizabeth Owen, was often her guest and added distinction to the gatherings of authors and artists in that gifted woman's home. During Roosevelt Holds Class Reunion at Oyster Authoress Marries y Cassatt, Artist. the British Treasury. King George was heartily in favor of the small tax on betting as well as the best spotsmen of England. Gen. ap4 Mrs. Cornelius Vaiderbilt and their daughter, Miss Grace Van- derbilt, in the old home of the former, the Breakers, make Newport of spe- cial interest to Washingtonians this Suthmer,, Few other New Yorkers in the upper soclal set are so whole- heartedly admirers of the National Capital or spend so much time here. Mrs, * Vanderbilt, as she is called to distinguish her from the | } long list of matrons who bear that sur- | name, acquired the habit of coming here when her sister and the late i.ady Michael Horbert was chatelaine of the British mbassy. Miss Grace Vander- bilt frankly prefers Washingtoa to any other social center, finding its leisurely | cultured air a relie from the bustle of Gotham and its pleasant informal amenities more agreeable than the | rigid etiquette which holds in the Brit- ish capital. The elder Mrs. Vander- | Dbilt is spending the Summer in Europe, having been with her daugh- ter, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, when the wonderful statue, erected at Saint Nazaire to commemorate the landing of the first American troops of the | World War, was dedicated the last | week of June. Gep.and Mrs. Vander- bilt have not passed a Summer in | Newport for many years and that they are in the home which should be | thelrs is most gratifying to their | scores of friends. The entire.family, after vears of estrangement, has fin ally become reconciled and Gen. Van- derbllt now takes his place as the | head of the present generation of Van- derbilts, which is his place, logically, in that he was the eldest son of the | late Cornellus Vanderbilt. Mr. and | Mrs. Edson Bradley are occupying the magnificent house which they erected on Seaview terrace and which gives name to the estate, and their first | amenities there have included practi- the past month Miss Owen became the bride of Charles H. Sarolea, one time private secretary to President Masaryk of Czecho-Slovakian republic, but now practicing law in New York City. She spent much of her earlier 1ife in Japan with Mrs. Wetmore and later attended school in London. The footlights appealing to her, she played in the Victoria Theater for two sea- mons and made considerable success In minor Shakespearean. roles. She is an unusually lovely blonde with dark eves and a sprightly manner. Mrs. Sarolea’s mother, Mrs. Walter Owen, is the widow of th Boston architect and she was A anie Bisland. one of the four brilliant daughters of the late Thomas §. Bis- land of Falrfax Plantation, La. Mrs. Wetmore is the eldest and Mr. Sa- rolea’s bride has been her particular protege and favorite, and the wed- ding occurred ‘in the new home, Ap- plegate, in Oyster Bay. Senator and Mrs. Wadsworth are nmow occupying Mrs. Wetmore's house on Woadland drive and have taken over her won- derful wild garden, which runs back into Rock Creek Park, with enthusi- asm and have extended its area. Mr. Sarolea was born a subject of the late King Leopold. but he spent his early life in Edinburgh. where his father, the Jate Dr. Charles Sarolea, was professor of the French language and literature. Count Jehan de Rohan, recently elected president of the French Auto- mobile Club, which is the premier of its kind in’ all Europe and with a quasi official connection with the min- istry of the public defense is one of the foremost sportsmen of his time | and has many times been etertained in this country. His mother, the Dowager Duchess de Rohan, who died in May, was a generous patroness of all sports and kept a_racing stable | without peer in the Valley of the | Loire. The splendid chateau of the | family, De Lude, is one of the grand monuments which the French gov- | ernment desires to save for posterity | and which it will buy at any time the | heirs wish to sell. Jehan de Rohan | does not use his title of viscount since | he has gone in for a professional sporting career and is noted as one of the fastest drivers of motor cars in the world. He is but one degree | vemoved from the dukedom now held by young Alain de Rohan, 14-yvear-old 2on of Gen. Josselin de Rohan, who was killed in the Battle of the Somme. "This youth, who has just entered the military academy of St. Cyr, is_the thirteenth duke, the line having been established in Prague, capital of Bo- hemia, as Viscounts de Rohan and in Brittany as Counts de Morbihan about As dukes, they held sovereign sway in Auverge in the early fifteenth century. Je®an de Rohan is married 0 Countess Anne de Talhous-et-Roy and has two scas and two daughters 2ll bétween 8 and 15. His home in Avenue Bosquet is always filled with American sportsmen visiting Paris. The Bishop of London, Right Rev. A. Foley Winnington Ingram, who has recently celebrated the golden jubilee of his episcopacy, is about to sail for this country and will be re- ceived with befitting ceremonial by Bishop Manning of New York. when he arrives in that port. The vener- able prelate’ has relaxed his labors somewhat and intends to remain for several months visiting friends among the American clerics and the Episco- palian laity. He was very much in the limelight recently when the de- bhates were up in the House of Lords about the ethics of betting. The Min- ister of the Exchequer, Mr. Winston Churchill, wished a tax of about 5 cents_placed on every bet made in the United Kingdom whether on a horse, a boat or anything where the bids were open and the results posted. Riship Ingram, a fearless and schol. arly man, made a witty speech in which he showed convincingly that a bet, if the amount were within the limits of the bettor's pocketbook, was entirely an innocent amusement and could not be construed as an evil act. Excesses in betting, as in drinking. speaking or any other action were what called for curbing and govern- mental control but not betting In it- self. In consequence of the Bishop's speech, Mr. Churchill's bill passed and it is estimated that something like $40,000,000 will be added annually to —_—_— e The Amid this splendor was born France's fame for beauty.

Vanderbilt, jr., who waa the daughter of the late James Graham Fair, who served for one term as United States Senator | from Nevada 1881-87. has never lost her love of the Pacific Coast and she is-endeavoring to instill some of this into her children. Mrs. Frederick Cameron Church, who was Mureil Vanderbilt, has leased a pretty villa at Peebles Beach. where she will spend the Autumn with her husband and a group of friends. The younger daughter, Consuela, Mrs. Earl Smith, made a motor tour of California this Spring and she may buy a ranch in the neighborhood of her mother’s old home and become a genuine Cali- fornian. Mr. and Mrs. Church have their Newport home this Summer, Dudley Place, and Mrs. Church has some idea of starting a racing stable. Mrs. Smith Is averse to having a home just yet, and when not on a motor tour is with her husband and Mrs. Vanderbilt in her Fifth avenue home or at the place near Southampton. Young Willlam K. Vanderbilt, 3d, like his father, prefers life on the bounding wave, and He passes mueh of his time vachting, dropping off to ee his mother or sisters in their sev- eral homes at the most unexpected times.

Baron Haussmann's celebrated scheme for _the remodeling of the Paris boulevards has et it been completed, exactly 60 years after the operations began under the auspices of Napoleon III. Returning Wash- ingtonians who have been to Paris report the linking of Boulevard Hauss- mann with that of Montematre and this 18 the last section and has cgused the removal of the great hoard barra- cades which masked the wrecking of houses and the bullding of foundations and ugly work which the fastidlous Parislans could not endure having exposed to view, Haussmann was not as would generally be presumed an accomplished engineer who per- sonally drew his plans and enforced their execution. On the contrary he was a lawyer from Alsace and he employed engineers to make his glori- ous dream of completing and organiz- ing the first Napoleon's efforts at beautifying the narrow twisted streets of Paris. His influence naturally came from the fact that he financed the scheme and gave it personal super- vision until his death which occurred some 15 years after the collapse of the second empire. Baron Hauss: mann's sole ambition was to make Paris the most glorious city of the world, whereas Napoleon 1 and his nephew and succeséor Napoleon 11 were actuated by a desire t. troy the narrow streets and alleys which ‘were so hospitable and convenient for popular uprisings against the govern- ment and to replace them with broad . straight avenues which could be easily | eontrolled by the army. It is possible {now to walk continuously from one boulevard to another from Galeries La Fayette to Boulevard Montmartre. 8o that modern Paris may now be considered practically and most suc- cesstully completed. Miss Mary Cassatt, who dled last week In Parls, was one of the lead- ing American artsits in that city, as well as one of its most beloved soclal queens.
