The Prime Minister and Mrs. Baldwin,. friends of both the Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg, are to be there, but the cause of the greatest concern is the presence of the Prince of Wales, who, it is hoped, will pass this way—beyond the middle or center of the United Statés will meet for the ceremonies. the bridge where Great Britain and Mrs. Kellogg had not decided to go until it was learned that it would not be an all-man party, and that Mrs. Baldwin would accompany the Prime Minister, while other women would also be with their distinguished husbands. * . 1 ALMOST immediately on their arrival in Washington from Boston and Maine, the Secretw Mrs. Wilbur leaving We of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur parted company, dnesday night for California.

Fareat Wik Hases Is Largely Attended The lawn fete given yesterday aft- ernoon by Miss Mary V. Merrick at her Summer home, Linwood, near Ellicott City, Md., was attended by many Washingtonians interested in the Christ Child Soclety's Fresh Alr Camp, for the benefit of which the affalr was held. Miss Merrick was assisted by her sisters, Miss Mar- garet Merrick and Miss Mildred Mer- rick, and by several members of the national ‘board, including the vice presidents, Mrs. Charles P. Nelll, Mrs. Daniel C. Stapleton and Mrs, Thorn- ton P. Boland. Linwood, which is the estate in which the late Richard C. Merrick took so much pride, is one of the oldest in that section of Maryland. The splendid trees, which give name to the place, furnished shady nooks in which card tables for bridge parties were placed, while the booths for refreshments had been erected all over the lawn. Many visitors wers from Ellicott City and the surrounding country. Miss Mer- rick, who has been an invalid for many years, occupied a reclining chair while receiving her guests. She was wheeled about the grounds, where she was an interested spectator at the card games and the sales in prog- ress at the fancy work tables.

In addition to Mlle. Jeanne Cretziano, daughter of the Minister, who acts as chatelaine and is the youngest and one of the most charming of such forelgn hostesses, there are three others, who would during ‘the com- ing season, had not the nation been plunged in mourning, have been im- portant members of the diplomatic set. M. Andrei Popovici's marriage last month to Mrs. Marion B. Wal- dron, brings the only American mem- ber into this circle. M. Pepoviel and his bride are living at Ward- man Park Hotel and as he has re- cently returned from a prolonged visit to Bucharest, where he received a promotion from attache to secre- tary, he will get only brief vacations during this Summer. A notable newcomer is the coun- selor of the legation, Prince Mihail, or Michael, as it would be called generally, Sturdza, who came to ‘Washington as the successor of M. Radu T. Djuvara, who was charge d'affaires during the early part of Queen Marie's visit to the United States. Prince Sturdza is a mem- ber of an eminent family of Moldavia which for centuries has been in possession of extensive estates in that ancient country. Moldavia was one of the principalities which won independence from Turkey. The others were Wallacsia and the Duoruja. These, until after the Great War, made up Rumania. Transylvania, Bessarabia and Bu- kowina were added after the armis- tice. Prince Sturdza's family held soverign rights, but after the union as Rumania its members became eminent in the diplomatic service as well as In the army and in the legls- lative and executive branches. The counselor entered the forelgn serv- ice immediately after completing his university studies and had been for two years in a similar role in Vienna before being sent to Washington. Previously he had served for a year in the capital of Albania, Durazzo, Prince Sturdza was called to the col- ors in 1916 while he was secretary ot the legation of Rumania in Berne and he served two years in the army, or from 1916 until the armistice. He was appointed governor of Clausen- berg, in Transylvania, in 1919 and after thres years in this post he was secretary of the legation of his country in Buda-Pesth. Prince Sturdza is married and has one son, now just 4 years of age. Princess Sturdza is in Bucharest and will not come to this country for some months. Mr. George Boncesco, who holds the post of financial counselor, came to ‘Washington from London, where he had been commerclal secretary for seven years. He and Mme.

Essex County Club Draws Many Notables During Tennis Tourney Opera Presentations to Start Wednesday— Interest Shown in Event. BEVERLY, Mass., July 30.—The an- nual invitation tournament of the Essex County Club, when the best of the women players in the country from California to Maine met in spirited competition over the fast courts, was played to large and bril- liant galleries of appauding spectators. Given wonderful days for the opening of the tournament, especially on Mon- day and Tuesday, bright skies, the warm July sun tempered by cooling breezes from the Atlantic, the settings could not have been more perfect. It was like a Washington affair, so rep- rasentative was the gathering from the Capital City, and it took on a dip- lomatic tinge, for during the morning and afternoons ‘one could find in the gallerles members of the British and German emb: , the. Netherlands and the other legations established on the North Shore for the Summer. For the British embassy folk, who are liv- ing at the Essex County Club, there was plenty of entertainment. The British diplomats find tennis a favorite sport and they followed the matches with keenmest interest. With such players as Miss Helen Wills, fresh from her English triumphs; Mrs. Molla Mallory, the national champion; Miss Helen Jacobs, M\iss Margaret Blake, Miss Eleonora Sears, Mrs. J. Dallas Corbiere, Mrs, Willlam Endi- cott and other women well known in the tennis world, it is little to be won- dered at that the gallery grew en- thusiastic at the hard-fought matches over the net. There was much enter- taining done in honor of the visiting players and among the hosts were Mrs. Joseph Leiter, Mrs. Philip Dex- ter, Mrs. Bryce J. Allan, Mrs. William Endicott and Mrs. Francis P. Sears. It has been a quiet Summer for the diplomats. There have been many in- teresting affairs planned in their honor, but for the most part they have been happy, Intimate affairs, just a few friends in for luncheon, ftea or dinner, but later on and for the month to come, there will be sev. eral large affairs in the way of din- ner dances at which the diplomats will be honor guests. At the German em- bassy, Frau Kiep, wife of the Ger- man charge d'affaires, is giving a serjes of pretty Sundays at home, and there are the usual teas at the homes of the British embassy folks. Mme. van Royen, the wife of the Minister | trom The Netherlands, is finding many friends in the North Shore colonies, and her lovely home, the cottage of | Mrs. W.
