Tales of Well Known Folk ~In Social and Official Life Tacidents of .Interest and Personal Sketches of Notable People Grouped for Reading Public—Personal Notes. #BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. . Miss Katrina van Dyke, daughter and favorite companion of her distin- gufshed father, Dr. Henry van Dyke of Princeton, {s to be married in the v chapel on October 28 to P. Brush of the Princeton facuity. Miss Katrina has been for thel past six vears her father's special ¢hini. She accompanied him on the longest jaunt he ever took, just to go fishing, to New Zealand and Tas- mania. The well beloved author of some of the world’s most popular hogks has a weakness for fishing and, having listened to many tales from visitors to the Antipodes about queer antles of the fish of those regions, he deétermined to see for himself. ter tarried in all the places en route - Which interested them, and then they . traveled over all the vast continent of Australasia after they had exhausted the. fishing possibilities in certain por- tions of New Zealand and Tasmania. Miss Katrina kept a running account of all that transpired, and she was up imes to accompany her father in mrch of the trout and other game Dr. van Dyke has written numerous books and papers on his adventures in the South Seas and he mentions his daughter in terms of enthu ic praise, all of which makes the reading public feel as though it 1s vitally con- cérned in the coming wedding. Miss van Dyke has received not only a phe- nomenal number of congratulatory letters from people who know her only through her father's books, but many ! &ifts have come from those who feel that they should repay this charming young lady for her aid to her father in getting ready his literary offerings. | Mrs. Henry' P. Davison, well remem- bered in Washington when her late husband was chairman of the ‘Red Cross, is one of the prominent mem- bers of the Peacock Point section of Glen Cove, Long Island, in all activi- ties which relate to philanthropy or triotism. Last week she gave her eautiful home to stage a circus and | horse show, to raise funds for differ- ent worthy enterprises in the 1sland, the Red Cross being the c_hlef beneficiary. The Assistant Secretary of War for Aviation M Davison and their children ‘ere among the hosts, and the two older boys were Mrs. Davison’s special a&ldes in soliciting rides on the ponies. ‘ These boys, Trubee and Cottie, spent the entire day promoting the affair, | and with great success. Mrs. J. Wat- #son Downes had charge of the ponies and she raised a goodly sum from the little folks. A splendid old stage coach, driven by Mrs. Spencer O. Shot- ter, made’ money galore, taking relays of people at a Snail's trot along the ocean drive of the Point. Miss Betty Lanler was her aid,.and Mr. and Mrs. Dean ord" rooted for the- drives most energetically. The horse show called forth all the best equines of «Glen Cove and farther parts, and the of the Meadow Brook Club acted a8 judges. Mrs. Davison is in charge of sewing guilds for charity, and so busy is she all through the Autumn and opening Winter that New York City rarely sees her until Christmas. She contemplates a trip t6 Europe after the New Year. Senator Raoul Dandirand of Mon- treal, and a frequent visitor to Washington, has received a unique | honor from the Polish government, | the Order of Commander of the Po. 16nin Restitua, and zm'fl'uficmxi tion of the Canadian’s efforts to ob- tdin for®that republic a seat in the Geneva assemblage.” ‘It was when Senator Dandurand was president of the League of-Nations that he cham- ploned the cause of Poland ‘with such ‘zéal and determination that all bar- .riers which had been raised against her were leveled. This distinguished statesman of ‘Montreal is the presi- dent of the Comite France Amerique, and for eminent services during and after the World War he was honored by ‘the French republic with the com- mander’s rank in the Legion of Honor. He also received from King A“Ib-r;h?tl Belfl\:;nhthe hig] order chiva which that nation be- stows onrilorekners that of the medal “for the crown. Holding his present rank in the Canadian Senate since 1898, Senator Dandu- rand has been a privy councilor since 1900. His_wife, who has sometimes come to Washington during visita- tions of Canadian celebrities, was Miss Josephine Marchand, daughter | of a former premier of Quebec. Mme. | Dandurand ‘and her daughter, Mrs, | De Gaspe Beaubien, are advocates of | ‘women’s suffrage and they have been | active in the suffrage party of Que- bec, one of the least influential of | any in the Dominion, though since they have taken hold of affairs it is gaining in popularity. Mrs. J. Ogden Armour's announced intention to sell that celebrated coun- try home, Mellody Farm, on which | her late husband spent several mil- llons, is causing much regret among Chicagoans who have all-the-year. hothes near Lake Forest. Mrs. Ar. mour is quiet and simple in her tastes, and to occupy- such an estats alone | The Journey occupied the best part of n! Year, for Dr. van Dyke and his daugh- | ted Washington and oceasionally . me relatives have man in Vanity . Miss ter of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes had a_coming out par latter part of September and Miss M riel Lowe made her bow on the 15th of last month. De: .t parties are be- ing announced rapidly both in' tl country section and in New York City and will continue to do so until after October 31, when a grand ball will be given in New York City for all the buds previously presented. There will be many dinner dances and stately balls given during the Winter season for these candidates for social honors, ctions in the realm of | debutantes month before the buds in t other cities have been forma sented. and pre- Viscountess Bryce remained in this country until about 10 days ago, when she sailed for home on the S: ria. She has recently been visiting on_the Hudson and in Long Island, .and among those who gave special functions in her honor were Dr. and Mrs. Richard Derby, the lat- ter formerly Ethel Roosevelt. Lady Bryce spent some ks at River- dalelonithelHudson, first the guest of Mrs. Cleveland H. Dodge and later of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Marshall, the former the brother of Mrs. Vin: cent Astor. Many regretted that this well remembercd chatelaine of the British embassy did not come to Washington, but few of her friends are in residence and she knows only ih the most formal way the present officials of the British embassy. Viscountess Bryce =pent six weeks during August and September in Wil- liamstown, Mass., taking a_deep in- terest in the Institute of Politics, but not attending the course. She and her late husband. Viscount James Bryce, visited the institute in 1921, when the former Ambassador was among the lecturers. The viscountess continues her husband's work in_the philanthropic way and has edited some of his unfinished papers. Just before sailing for England she was the guest at a luncheon and recep- tion given in her honor at the Hotel Roosevelt by the English-Speaking Union. Mr. F. Ambrose Clark of New York appears to be the successor of the late Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt in the mat- ter of keeping coaching on the social map of New York and parts of New England, and he has tly been en- tertaining some parties on his fine vehicle the ‘Arrow, making a tour of a day all through Long Island and its picturesque approaches from the Empire State and from Connecticut. Mr. Clark, who lived a season in Washington during his gay bachelor days and who went on record as giv- ing the most elaborate and picturesque ball which followed the announcement of President Roosevelt's daughter, Alice Lee, and Mr. Nicholas Long- worth of " that brilliant season, has been, with Mrs. Clark, entertaining the Baroness of Ravensdale, the eldest daughter of the late Marquess and his first wife, who was Mary Leiter. Mr. and Mrs. Clark have been neighbors of Lady Ravensdale in England, and when she decided to appear in person at the sult recently won by her uncle, Mr. Joseph Leiter of this city, she was at once invited to ses the beauties of Long Island, this being the first visit which she has ever made to her mother's country. In the party with Baroness Ravensdale were Miss Elea- aora Sears, Miss Lillian Bostwick, Mrs, Henry Potter and Miss Betsy Clark, and after exhausting the .wonders of one of the.world’s most famous play- grounds, the environs of New York, Paris Fur life’s finer things fine gems, Nutria Raccoon Beaver Hudson Seal ‘LI EB rbara Barnes, | . the | close with October, a full hi: | The | All of the New Now Ready - T'S a_tradition with women who appreciate Lichster Furs ranks with the ownership of Our new Fall exhibit reveals all the late Paris- inspired style trends at prices,which enable one to own Quality Furs without thought of extravagance.
