There are so many distinguished citizens of Cuba who ‘are in business or following pro- fessional careers in New York City that the daughter of the Cuban presi- dent and her hushand were feted to the last waking hour and their en | Fagements were so many that they | could not get to Washington before {the President and Mrs. Coolidge de parted for the Adirondacks. The Cuban Ambassador and his family are also absent, so it was determined not to visit the Capital until, perhaps, nest Winter. Senor and Senora de Obrezon sailed for Europe last week and will spend the late Summer fh Switzerland. Malds and mat s from ton were not as numerous as usual in the coterie of Americans presented at court.

These from the treasure chest of an Indian nabob and were so quietly pur chased by Mr. Hunnington's agents that the strand had crossed the seas and had been worn by Mrs. Hunting ton in New York before news of its transfer became public. Diamonds rubles, emeralds and sapphires Mrs Huntington pos ed to the value of a million and a quarter dollars, and these, with the pearls, make the value of her Jjewels close to $2,000,000. Not many collections remain intact which are worth so much. What Mr. Hunting- | ton intends to do with this superb collection is intriguing the feminine world in all its parts, and, of course, jewelers are not unmindful of the op- portunities thus presented. M Huntington was an unostentatious person and only on formal occasions did she wear more than the custom- ary ornaments. ‘There seems no doubt'that the generous owner of the finest liprary and art collection on the Pacif st does not propose to add the gems to the curios already on | view for the public.

ZIRKIN & SONS, 81 14th Street WASHINGTON, D. C. 'AUGUST 8, Constantinople, Mme. Konitza, who is the only sister of the Minister and who may, be his chatelaine, is the widow of Gen. Konitza, who was for many years one of the military lead- ers of Turkey and at the time of his death was the adjutant general of {the Turkish armies. Gen. Konitza, however, was in favor of Albanian in- dependence and he would have offered his sword to the separatists, when the revolution finally began. Mme. Konitza has been among the grande dames of the former Turkish capital, Angora being the seat of government of the republic, and her presence in Washington will be cordially wel- comed. Of the Greek faith, she has nevertheless been a _social factor among the women of Islam and has been in favor of their complete eman- cipation. She is superbly educated and is also a musiclan. Having mar- ried when very young, she {s youth- ful in appearance and would seem more like the elder sister of her daughter than her mother. But until M. Konitza presents his credentials to President Coolidge he will make no definite plans about a home. Miss Kate and Miss Lucy Webster Stocking, who have been so frequent- iy in Washington, are among the active homekeepers at Ramapo Moun- tains,.where their cousin, John Stuart Thomson, the well known writer, is also spending the Summer. All of them are hineal descendants of Charles R. Webster, who was commander of 2 1926—PART ] the Albany Artillery and who was t! d its statuary. Mr. Barnard built pubisher of the works of his cousins, | his cloisters first as part of his home e on Fort Washington avenue. over Noah and Peletiah Webster. 'Noah Webster's dictionary, 4rst published by the firm of his cousin Charles, was in 1908 ordered published by the United States Government, and the same compliment was given his con- stitutional studies and those of his brother, Peletiah, who was one of the tramers of the Constiiution. Peletiah Webster s given the credit for putting teeth into the lax levy portion of the Constitution, placing certain obliga- tions under the penalty of the law In- stead of before being voluntary con- tributions to the Federal Government, made_ by the States. The Misses StocKing, Mr.-Thomson and the il- lustrious’ Websters of statecraft and literature descend from John Web- ster, who was fifth colonial governor of Connecticut, and who arrived in the colony in 1656. They are likewlse descendants of Robert Treat, founder of Newark, N. J. They live at Mon- vale, N. J.. but have a lovely Summer home at Ramapo, which the literary contingent thereabout make a head quarters. Mr. George Gray Barnard, the emi- nent sculptor, whose work “The Clois- ters” has just been presented to the Metropolitan Museum by John D. Rockefeller, jr., is passing the Sum- mer in New York in order to enter- tain friends who come from a dis- tance to see this wonderful arcade looking the river at Washington Heights, but as he had gathered hix| marvelous collection of Gothic statues | in France and Spain he was persuade. | to set this patio and adjoining clols ters apart for the benefit of the pub- lie and as part of the Metropolitan Museum'’s treasurers in modern ar- chitecture. The generosity of Mr. Rockefeller made possible this ambi- tion, and, besides paying Mr. Barnard for his time and material. he also purchased the collection of Gothic statutes, which had reached the num- ber of 50. Though several miles distant from the Museum proper; a bus line goes directly to the Cloisters and the visitors since it was opened a few weeks ago have run up into the thou- sands. Mr. Barnard, one of the most eminent of American sculptors, a native 6f Bellefonte. Pa., and some of his best work adorns the Capitol Building of his native State at Harris- burg. Every notable art gallery in the country has some of his work, the Metropolitan having purchased one of his most ambitious groups. “The Two Natures.” and “Hope and De. spair.”” Mr. Barnard is a graduate of | the Beaux Arts in Paris and has re-| ceived every one of its medals and decorations. He was among the aides of Miss Anne P. Morgan in restoring | 18 | tana ruined buildings of France after th World War.
