UNGERWOOD @8 Miss CAROLINE LIVINGSTON ALEXANDER Asughter of Mr.and Mrs. James E.Alexander visiting on Long Island Capital Society Folk Find MidsummerSeason Marked By Out-of-Door D_iversions program. However, Not Without Spccnsl Features Incic‘ent to Observance Of Nanonal Anm- versaries by Foreign Legations. M marks the middle of August, when all society of the National Capital is most scattered, the official family is represented by the Postmaster General and Mrs. New. Those few who are remaining in town are taking advantage of the many swimmipg' pools, the splendid motor roads thrcugh the countryside, and, for a fortnight, many have taken advantage of the daily games of professional base ball. For base ball, like politics, is growing to be almost as gripping to the feminine portion of the country as it has for years to the masculine mind. IDSUMMER in Washington is not without its diversions, whi_ch are for the most part out-of-doors sports. This week end, which AN unusually interesting visitor in Washington this week is Senor Roberto S. Chiari, son of the President of Panama, who is in this country on a special mission. Senor Chiari is a guest at the legation of Panama on New Hampshire avenue and will leave in a few days for California. He will not return to his native country until late in October. MALL colonies of Washingtonians are to be found in resorts in all por- tions of this country and in many of the foreign countries. And among the most interesting of these colonies is that in Paris, which is growing through the young Americans connected with the Paris branches of financial institutions of this country. Among the most recent additions to this colony are Mr. and Mrs. James Blaine Walker, jr, of New York, the latter formerly Miss Elizabeth Harrison, daughter of Mrs. Benjamin Harrison and the late former President. Mr. and Mrs. Walker have made their home on Long Island for some time and have been visiting THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, AUGUST 14, 1927—PART 2. MRs. JOHN E: PARKER. and her son John Edwards Parker, su in Italy since they went abroad in the Spring. They now have taken a house near Paris and expect to remain there indefinitely. Mrs. Harrison, who has been with them in Italy and for a short time in Paris, is. on her way back to this country, having sailed Wednesday aboard the Homeric. Mr. and Mrs. Dorsey Richardson, who lived here for several Winters, are established in this colony and have with them for a portion of the Summer the latter’s aunt, Miss Helen Cannon, daughter of the late former Speaker Joseph G. Cannon. Mrs. Richardson formerly was Miss Helen LeSeure and was presented to Washington society by Miss Cannon. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Harrison McKee, the former a grandson of the late President Benjamin Harrison, have lived in Paris since their marriage shortly after the war, and last Summer purchased a charming lpartm?nt in the suburbs of Paris, where they and their small daughter .make their home. THE anniversary of the independence of a foreign country. which has an envoy in Washington, a King's birthday and sometimes the com- memoration of the coronation of a sovereign call forth some of the most brilliant of functions in the Capital. It seems unfortunate when such anniversaries come’ during the Summer season, but, regardless of this recognition is given the occasion. Practically all of the South American countries won their freedom from Spain in August and September; the Central American countries celeb! their independence September 15, and Mxico, September 16. The American countris for the first time in many years, are all represented by a Minister, Salvador having just appointed Senor Francisco Lima as Minister to this country. Wednesday, Ecuador celebrated the anniversary of its declaration of independence, the charge d'affaires, Senor Don Juan Barberis, enter- taining the legation staff at dinner, and the flag of the republic was flown from the offices of the legation, honoring the day. . While no function was given in Washington commemorating the eighth anniversary of the signing of the Republic of Germany’s constitution, August 11, due to the absence of the Ambassador and nearly all of the members of the staff, seve ere given celebrating the occasion in which many folk prominent in Washington's smart set participated. The charge d'affaires of Germany, who with Frau Kiep is summering at Manchester, Mass., gave a large reception at the resort Thursday afternoon and the company included many Washingtonians; and that evening the German co “ gr\ncral";n f[\'m\' York, Dr. Karl von Lewinski, held a reception at the Astor Hotel, invi a number c v i Washington as welil as in New \'nrk.g PitteicinElRom R Dinners Given in Honor Of Selected Guests Representative and Mrs. Copley, who have anchored vacht in Gloucester Harbor, .
