Tales of Well Known Folk In Social ari Qfficial Life Tw;a Foreign Ministers Await President’s Return To Present Credentials—Athletic Club Gossip —Russian Nobles Interest Society. BY MARGARET B. DOWNI President Coolidge will find two for- elgn ministers awaiting his return to present their credentials, Senor Angel Morales of the Dominican Republic and Dr. Faik Konitza of Albania. Senor and Senora Morales came to Washington in late June just before the departure of the former Minister, Senor Jose del Carmen Ariza, but they wera just too late in the sense of being accorded the usual diplomatic reception, so as the Minister-desig- nate is a busy man of airs in his own land, he sailed for Santo Do- mingo the first week of July and will return to Washington within a few days. Tle had come from London to Washington and without opportunity to revisit his old home and to read- just matters for his continued ab- * senc he Albanian Minister, who received by the Secretary of State July 16, has remained in Washington, engaged in the agreeable task of find- ing a home for the Winter and meet- ing those of his diplomatic colleagues who have spent the Summer on the Potomac. The Minister has recently taken a suite in the*Mayflower, but he »pes to have his own home by De- mber The first envoy from this ancient land. the Illynia of Greece in her golden days, will be a welcome guest at drawing-room lecture courses and no_ doubt he will take part in such. e spent three years in this country prior to the first Balkan War lecturing and writing with the object of making Albanians better known in this country. He tells most fascinat- ing tales of Albanian folklore, espe- cially of the River Styx, that somber stream of mythology which runs through his ancestral acres. The Women's Athletic Club of Chi- exgo and the Saddle and Spur Club, composed of the men of the same city, gave the first horse show ever re- corded in Uncle claim, and they are making a loud demonstration over the twenty-fifth anniversary of this event. It was a four days’ session in the grounds of the masculine organization and there were 62 well filled classes of hunters, saddle horses and every kind of pony known to equine authorities, also driv- ing horses, making more than 360 classes and providing busy times for B. Roger Pemberton was an of judges with the par- of looking after saddle Richard P. Strickler took care ponies and five-gaited saddle nd Frederick Vesey of the hunters and jumpers. It was a great show and brought together horse lov- ers as far a as St. Louis and had entries from almost every country thereabout. All this was two years in advance of the great World's Falr, and ever since the horse show of held as almost the last event immer instead of the first, as in other localities, has attracted lovers “of this noble beast from every part of the country. Horse shows are now taken very seriously and owners of £00d strings think nothing of shipping to the Canadian points of interest, across country to the Atlantic and Pa- eific cities and all through the central space between. The women of Chi- < Athiletic Club give a show of their own and without aid from their mala kindred. The one in-late August was a great success. The Duke of Bedford has granted permission to transform the birth- place of the bold buccaneer, Sir Francis Drake, on the coast of Devon, fnto a national shrine. This adven- turer who added much luster to the Rritish reputation at sea was born in a small cottage on the outskirts of an apple orchard on Crowndale Farm. on the Bere-Elton road near Tavistock. The' farm has been the property of the ducal house of Bed- ford for many vears, but its transfer has been made to Robert Toop, who, with a committee, will preserve for all time the tiny home of the future hero of the stormy main. Mr. Toop found the birthplace of Drake almost A heap of ruins, but he has restored the cottage and particularly the one hedroom under the eaves where Francis was born. The massive raf- 1ers were still firm though the floors had decayed and fallen Americans visit the home of Drake in large numbers, but only a few Britons until recently. These latter sight saers prefer to gn to Dartmoor, where rancis Drake first tapped for Piy mauth’s drinking water. Now, how ever, an entirely new section of tour- fst interest will by tage at Crowndale orchard. Mr. and Mrs. Alan F. Winslow, who have heen In Bern since thelr mar. riage two vears ago, will spend some time in Washington en route to Mr. Winslow's new assignment as second recretary of the embassy in Mexico City. Mrs. Winslow was Miss Rosa- mund_Castle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, William R. Castle, jr., and the marriage topk place in the late Autumn of 1924 and was one of the most important events of that opening and Mra. Castle have of the horse. %IfllllllllllllllllllllIIIII!IICFRANCKE & LUSTICK )fl_!llllll“llmlllllllllllllg' through. | he added to Devon | the restoration of the Drake cot been passing part of the Summer in | Geneva with the Winslows and were active participants in the gayety at tending the assembling of the mem- bers of the League of Nations and the delegates to the several conferences recently held in that city. Mr. Castle, who is chief of the Western European divisfon, is like Senator Bingham of Connecticut a native of Honolulu and spent his early youth there, and was educated at Harvard. He entered the foreign service via the Red Cross, for which he had performied marvels of service prior to and during the World War. Mr. Winslow is from River Forest, 111, and he prepared for his career at Yale. As the result of nearly three and a half years in Af; Service, one in the French squadron and two and a half in the American, he carries an empty sieeve and like the Secretary of Aviation for the Army, Mr. Frederick Trubee Davison, he received injuries in the line of duty which almost proved fatal. Dur: ing his years at the State Department Mr. Winslow was assigned aimost en- tirely to the Latin American branch and his assignment to Mexico City is a congenial one. Mr. Percy Alexander Bluir is other attache of the foreign ser in whom Washington is mueh fiiter ested and who has just Leen tran ferred from the embassy in London to that of Madrid. Blair made his home in Washington f some years, but he is originally from St. Louis and is the son of the la James L. Blair_of that eity. Apolline xander Blalr s known here and is especially remem- bered for her work in the Rubenstein Club and other organizations devoted to the divine art. Mrs. Blair removed to England about 12 years ago and purchased a_country estate, Elm: lelgh, near Littlebourne in Hamp- shire. She rendered splendid service to the Red Cross during the World War and her home was freely used as a retreat for invalid officers. It lies in a-delightful spot of rural England and within sight of the famous estate of the Empress Eugenie, Chiselhurst, where the third Napoleon’s tomb is in the memorial church. Mr. Ray- mond Cox, who has been in the State Department for some years and who recently returned from duty in con- nection with the Tacna-Arica plebis- cite commission, has been assigned to Mr. Blair's place as second secretary of embassy in London, and Mr. Ei- bridge Dexter Rand of Burlington, Towa, will be among the new faces in the younger group at the State De- partment. Mr. Rand comes from Madrid, -where he has served under the last two Ambassadors, and previ- ously he was in the congular service at Tangler. Mr. James Theodore Marriner of Portland, Me., another well known member of the State De- partment set, will soon set sail for Europe, where he will replace Mr. Winslow. Viscount Astor has become the champlion of what might be described as the smallest of the feminine move- ments now focusing the attention of women &ll over the world, namely, the demand of British peeresses to occupy seats in the House of Lords. The American-born peer has moved a sec- ond reading of the bill and there .is a faint hope of its success through this means. There are actually 20 peeresses affected -by the passing of this bill and who would at once take their places in the Lords, and natur- ally this wholesale invasion of the fair sex has set the present house of peers against admitting women. There is one royal princess clamoring at the doors, the Duchess of Fife, who was a Princess of Connaught before her marriage and the granddaughter of Queen Vicforia. ~ It 1is whispered, however, that King George is not aid- ing this movement even by his sym- pathy. Lady Rhondda, Great Brit- ain’s premier business woman, started the ball rolling some ten years ago when on the death of her father she made formal application for his legis- lative seat. In addition to this royal duchess and this powerful business woman, there are 2 countesses, Vis- countesses and 14 baronesses, among these the Baroness of Ravensdale, Lady Mary Irene Curzon, grand daughter of Levi Z. Leiter, These claimants have formed a compact or sanization under the special patron- age of Lord Astor and they frequently meet at Cliveden and arrange their campaign. Mr. Alfred E. Orr, an American artist of much celebrity in London, has taken over the lease of the house and studio of the late John S. Sargent, in Chelsea. This neighborhood abounds in studios occupied by Amer- icans, some merely artistic in temper- ament and others diligently engaged in trying to hang a canvas in the Royal Academy. Mr. Orr had at tained this dignity several times be fore he leased the Sergent residence in Tite street. Mr. Orr stands out in another way, for he is an apostle of grounding the canvas and devotes more thought to its longevity, at To the hundreds o f Washington are interested women who in the quality - reputation of Francke & Lustick Now ENTIRE Francke 1328 G St. F-U- September Sale Prices effective on our allew unusual economy opportunities in addition to style and workmanship F-U-R-R-I-E-R-S R-S STOCK ¢ (ushck 26 Years of - | MRS.

Mr. Orris pre-eminently a portrait painter and his canvas of Miss FEleanora Sears, exhibited In Boston last Winter, made his fame in that city, which is his early home. This American artist is known throughout the British Em- pire for his character study of “Ma,” a portrait- of a homely, corpulent matron who nursed ‘and encouraged many a British Tommy into becoming, instead of a deserter, a hero of the World War. Finding her'in a boat near Margate engaged in. her tri- otic work, Mr. Orr persuaded her to pose for him, and photographic'copies of this canvas became .a favorite means to raise funds for -homes for the invalid soldiers after the arnlstice, more than 100,000 having been dis- posed of the first iyear. Gov. Howard Mason Gore of .West Virginia, who acted as Secretary of Agriculture after the death of Henry C. Wallace and until his electton to hig present office, set a rare amd fine ‘example of filial devotion and, n fact, e of his mother. s in eightieth year, was known "and re- spected all over the country. It was during the height of hi§ campaign for governor that a date was set for a speech in a county which had strong Democratic tendencies, and it was deemed essential that he should appear in person, deliver the address and accept some hospitality from leading_ cltizens. But Mr. Gore tele- graphed that on that particular night he would be in Clarksburg with his mother celebrating her birthday. ‘When urged to omit this custom or to postpone it for a day or two he in- dignantly refused, saying that never since his college days, when his absence was unavoidable, had he missed lighting the candles for his MB ir Corps, commanding officer of Army Airdrome, Salt Mrs. Herold is here for the Winter and has taken an mother's birthday cake, and that not even to be Governor of West Virginia weuld he fail to perform this work of love. But he did not forfeit a vote in consequence, and he rather sternly refused to permit his managers to make any capital of this event. But news of it went froth one end of the State to the other and he polled a larger Democratic vote in this Demo- cratic stronghold which he failed to visit than any previous Republican during a gubernatorial election. The late Mrs. Gore was of fragile health and had been for years confined to her room or to make her infrequent outings in a wheel chair. But she ‘was a force in the community and her pallbearers were woman neighbors, members of a club which she had formed and which met for nearly 20 years in her Clarksburg home. The Capital is accustomed to po. litical upheavals and the removal. of familiar figures in the official world, but these losses always cause regret, as in the case of Senator and Mrs. Lenroot of Wisconsin. They have been a part of the congressional set since 1909 and have filled their niche with conspicuous success. Mrs. Len- root was a newco when the Con- gressional Club was formed and she has been a force in upbuilding its successful career. She served for a time as the president after having been a vice-president and for several gruelling years chairman of its house and’ entertainment committee She was before her marriage in 1890, Miss Clara Clough of Superior and she and the Senator had been sweethearts from their childhood, both being born in the city of the greatest lake, Su- perior, and had attended its public schools together. Mrs. Lenroot always retained the greatest affection for th lower House and she acted more fi quently with the wives of the Repre- sentatives than with those of the Senators in the varlous social activi- ties. For a few years past, Mrs. Lenroot’s ' health has been rather fragile and she has been less active in the Congressional set than formerly. She is a domestic type so often pro- duced by the Middle West, takes the deepest interest in every detail of her home and is a wonderful cook and general housewife. Prince Nicholas Gallitzine, a mem ber of one of old Russia’s most aris- tocratic families has joined his many exiled country people in Chicago and having dropped his title and all other reminders of the past, he is now climbing upward in one of Mr. Edi- son's branch offices. He is a friend and former class mate of young “Mike”” Cantacuzene, who also de- clines to be called prince. Though beginning a business career in a modest role, he is nevertheless a lion socially and is just now tremendous the vogue in planning pageants and spectacular affairs for the street fair of the Junior League. The Galiitzine family is from the South of Ru and once owned what might be called principafities in the rich grain land of the Bessarabla. Another member of ‘the growing,Russian colony in the lake city is Col. George Voevodsky. once a guardsman of the Czar's per sonal troupe every member of which must not only be a superb horseman but must show an aristocratic lineage going back 300 years at least. Alyi Tolstol, grandson of Tolstol the author is of this group and the popular Capt. Dimitri Ivanenko and his wife who is one of the lovetiest-of the exiled women and was once a lady in wait- ing to: the Czar's oldest daughter. Possessing fine voices, Capt. and Mme. Ivanenko have been entertaining the Lake Forest contingent with Russian sylvan _musical - comedies and fre- quently training juvenile choruses for the civic theater. MR BANS SAFETY MEA&URES.
