SO CIETY. Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life e P SO ania Remembers Friend- ships Formed in U. S.—General and Per- sonal Notes 0{ lnterest. BY MAGARET B. DOW Princess Tleana has been remember- tng some of those who contributed to the enjoyable time she had while with her mother, Queen Marie, and her brother, as she was seeing America from pcean to ocean. This gift is an exquisite tinted photo of hers in native Rumanfan costume in beautiful park of Bran Castle, where she has been spending the time since the New Year. Winter seems to have touched this part Rumania but lightly, for the grass is green and thick _and the Princess, in her bare feet, seems to be resting on a bed of flowers, the pretty little crocuses and gnowdrops which are already in bloom 'in Rumania. A veil of soft white tissue envelops her and forms & cade to the ground. She c exquisitely carved water jar and to a1l intents Is about to journey to the fountaln in plain view to her left to fill the vessel. ‘This lovely young great-granddaughter of Queen Vic- toria and of Czar Alexander II. cele brated her seventeenth birthday Jan- uary 5, and there was much festivity at the palace. It is now proposed that Tleana shall return to her studie: the delightful interlude of her t and she is in the retired C Bran, on the Lower Danube, ands will remain in seclusion until the Summer val relatives in England Gambel of Chicago and his 12 attending knights did not make the success of their January 12 frolic this year that they did last with their “Don Quixote” revel. For the veason that those good knights called their ball “The Widows and Widow- ers,” and in dispatching their anony- mous invitations many were sent to @ wife here and a husband - there, causing a ‘‘greatto-do,” due to the fact that many decidedly objected to their life partners being summoned from their hearth at midnight and the other haif left at home to wonder and worry. Chicago was much amused, and there were 0 many va cant chairs that the frolic lacked it usual vim and fun Matrimonial troubles come thick and fast, 8o the Chicagoans decided, without any such aid to them as these 12 knights pre- sented, to ask their guests unattended 10 a certain number in East Monroe #treet, which turned out most inno- cently to be nothing but the Uni- versity Club. Chicago loves m; ries, and the knights are puzzling over the way their plans to enterain their friends went so far aw In Mrs Potter Palmer’s time there were man; similar frolics, but married couples went under the protection of each eother, and after many hours of mas- querading and having fun to the full they assembled at the Palmer resi- dencerand-had & splendid supper, and all went well. An enterprising mem- Ber of a home wherein a wife was ‘choseri” afid the husband left to sit by the fire said the knights made a supreme mistake in letting it become known that they had selected the miost attractive member out of each family. But next yeur a diferent pro- cedure ll. uxM {e!er hoelet ‘Gepcy: who on arch. 4 proBably “will -beceme presi- fent of she Congressional Club, will perpetuate “the tradition fhat when women of the upper house families are chosen as executives they have heen predominantly from:;the Democratic #lde of the Senate. . Mrs. Dufican U. Fletcher Was the first president chosen from the ‘senatorial wing,-and Mrs. Atlee “Pomerene was_anather. Mrs. Joseph Frelinghuysen served briefly as Ppiresident; but she was not elected to the office. Being first vices president, she automaticaliy stepped higher when the office’was vacated by Mre. Irvine Lenroot. . . There is a couftesy rule Mrs. - {ond |'which theoretically elects a candidate from a Senate family alternately with one.from the House. But the number of members of the lower body is al most five times greater than the | Senate, and the ladies of the Senate do not, as a rule, evince the same in- terest in this club that the others do. In fact, a very considerable proportion do not belong at all. Mrs. Gerry has, however, shown a kindly interest in the Congressional Club since she be- came eligible for membership. She will take the presidency, if elected, under the unique circumstances that not a dissenting volce was ralsed against her | candidacy, and she will thus take of- fice without having caused the least friction among the members. The election of a Democratic woman to head the Congressional Club during the tenure of a Republican President in the White House is not unprece- dented, nor vice versa. M James Byrnes of South Carolina was elected | when President Harding was serving. Indeed the members of this club strive, and most successfully, to keep politics out altogether and fo elect a woman Il honor the role in the person- . and_Mrs. ‘Henry Ford, whose efforts in behalf of the Wayside Inn of Sudbury, .. scene of Longfel- d series, “Tales of a Way- side Inn,” are so widely praised, have turned their attention to a famous land- thark in thelr own vicinity, the old roadhouse about 16 miles from Detroit, known as Botsford Tavern. During the process of restoring the Sudbury inn, Mrs. Ford accumulated about twice the amotint of genuine Colonial furniture which could be placed there, and this overflow, so to speak, has been shipped to the Detroit center. Buflt a hundred years ago for the benefit of farmers coming into the growing city of Detroit with their produce, it served as a good place to spend the night, for in those times 16 miles was almost a day's journey, considering the heavily loaded wagons and bad roads. Botssord Tavern flour- ished a roadhouse until it began to fight a losing battle with the Right- eenth amendment and its owner offered it for sale. Mr. Ford has remodeled the stout frame building of a nondescript mode into a perfect Colonial house, the pillared porch ex- tending to the second story and a long extension wherein the most cheery bedrooms are found, both on the sec- and third floors, while the first |contains the original taproom and bar combined with a number of pri- vate dining rooms and a reading room. The taproom, with its shining mahog- any bar, is Kept just as it was when the Voistead act ended its active career, “except “that the bottles are now filled with harmless soft drinks. Mr. and Mrs, Ford now are in resi- dence. there and they entertain scores of Detroiters in Botsford Tavern and occasionally they will invite over- night guests. That handsome yoting Baron Alex- ander Meller Zakomelsky, who is in New York, the guest of Mr. Ralph Pulitzer, will, in addition to his con- certs to. be given in drawing rooms, entertain his audiences by accounts of the Russia of Alexander I. For he is the grandson of that Gen. Alexan- der Meller who was aide-de-camp of that C He is also the great-grand- son of that Prince Henri Barclay de Tolly, commander-in-chief of the Rus- sian army against Napoleon in 1812. He has the diaries of both of these warriors and, being of a literary trend, was about to edit these manu- strenuous work during the World War. Baron Meller was wounded in the “‘white” campalgn of Gen. Wran- gel against the reds, and he then had to turn his attention to a less active vocation than the army He was scripts when he was called to more | THE SUNDAY trained in music and has made a spe- cialty of the so-called classical music of Russia of the early years of the nineteenth: century and of the first music used in the ballets which later became so identified wtih the Grand Opera of St. Petersburg. Being a cousin of the Countess de Torby, the young baron has spent several sea sons in her beautiful villa at Cannes, and he has quite a vogue among the Americans who make their Winter homes in that resort. Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer, whose Villa de la Garoupe |15 one of the show places delights in | all kinds of Russian music, especially the folksongs, antl Baron Zakomelsky | has been alding her to get a complete | collection, hy centuries, for presenta tion to the New York City Public Library he Prince of \Wales has set Pritish dog lovers agog through hi recent purchase of an Alsatian wolf- | hound, familiarly, known in this coun try as the German police dog. Canine fanciers in England have waged & bit- ter war against the importation of the famous war dog, §¢ he is commonly called, and ascribed to him all manner of traits bound to crop out at unex- pected times, But the prince is con- vinced to the contrary, and so he has added Claus of Seale to his fine collec tion.’ As his new possession is a pup, he has been entered to take the regu lar . H., or “polizel hund,” training. ireat Britain clings tenaciously to the shepherd dog of the shires, which has tended flocks from time immemo- rlal and which plays so important a part in English literature and has been the hero in scores of volumes. In this country, however, the police dog has been taken heartily into favor, and has leaped over the popu- larity of the Boston bull, which was for 8o long the favorite. In the past year the American Kennel Club has announced that of 59,500 entries 21,500 were police ghepherd dogs and about 11,000 Boston bulls, The prince, ru mor says, intends, when C has reached proper age and is w to take him to the ranch in Alberta, and this soothes the champions of the native product. Mr. Peter Widener of Philadelphia owns some of tite finest police dogs living, and to show his confidence in their accomplishments he has dismissed all private watch- men on his famous country estate and leaves the task of protecting it en- tirely to the four-footed guardians. — Senor Edwardo Sanchez de Fuentes, secretary of the Cuban Natlonal Acad- emy of Arts and Letters, is making strenuous efforts through his commit- tees in behalf of the Pan-American Congress of Music, which is to meet in Havana next February, and prep arations fot which are engaging musi- cal authorities in the 21 republi which compose the Unlon of all the Americas. Mr. Frankiin Adams, coun gelor of the Union, 8 particularly terested, and is working earnestl the participation of this country be worthy of its reputation. Through Mr. Adams and the excellent concerts he has from time to time arranged in the beautiful ballroom of the Pan-American Building, Washington knows something of the music of the other republics, and since Mr. Adams has succeeded in getting many pro- grams on the air the entire country is beginning to share thisknowledge. The Cuban capital has, besides its splendid opera house, scores . of massive halls, built in the Spanish regimes,where concerts can be given and, besides the musical program, the visitors will receive the most cordial welcome from the President and his cabinet and the social world of this lively city.

The New England farmer, knowing his soil, has a way of sowing rye which, having reached a certain growth, is plowed under to enrich the land. A matter of clear sacrifice from the standpoint of the rye, certainly, made for the sake of future abundant broadly is Daniel y. Here in excellent drama is set the personal sacrifice of one member of a big New England family in order that the deep roots of the famlily trees in the E not be wholly torn away and stroyed. The others had all of them been captured by the lure of the West which promised opportunity, adven- ture, getting ahead. It was left for this young man of the fourth genera- tion to be plowed under, to take the plce of the hardy rye for keeping rich and sweet the soil of the old blood, of the dear and ingrained asso- clations. A plain story, yet a tragic one. It could be nothing else, since within this one youth with visions and desires such as all youth pos- sesses there met the struggle of the t and West—a struggle objectified today by a thousand vital competi- tions and jealousies. It is under the surface that the grimness of this ro mance lies. Along its outer ways it is a qulet and restrained record of family life on a New England farm, from which for years there had been a persistent breaking away from the rigors of the Puritan tradition. The story s like a glass of clear vintage drawn off from its basic substance with good insight and fine sympathy | and an intimate understanding, cou pled with the power to select and ar- range and emphasize and consummate as drama.
