i SOCIETY : Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life White House Mistresses Noted Among Thoa? Who Have Contributed to Betterment of American Home Life. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Mrs. Coolidge will stand amgng the mistresses of the White House as one who arouted the daughters of Uncle Sam to appreciation of the craft of handicraft of their fellow citigens in stone, as is already the case at the Italian embassy, and the chancelry of the Polish legation at Sixteenth and Fuller streets, where the anclent insignia_of Poland, the white knight, is_gallantly astride the arme of the { blic.

Vanderlip, who was tv of the Capits+l. Her crusade against | chairman of the committee which ar- the unsightly alleys has resulted most [ranged the ball for the building fund beneficially and the garden which she lanned in the east grounds of the White House remains the loveliest part of the park Coolidge has Jed no reform, nor has she associated herself with the splendid crafts. gland and the Middie States and her intensive study methods has led to sweeping changes in the manner of furnishing homes. It is not llkely that she will attemp to change anvthing in the nondeseript equipment of the state rooms of the White House, in view of the tact that she. if not the general public, long ago pted the President’s words their Tace value, and she anticipat Jeaving the historic mansion in N of 19 But she has definitely pointed to the anomaly of a Nation which has produced such masters of household equipment as this one, fol- Jowing the French mode of several centuries ago, discredited even Europe, and importing wall coverings a: a lofty price, which may be ob- tained in more artistic form in this country. It would noi take a prophet { to depict a Colonial White Hous within the next decade, and that from ! the English basement to the newly fin- { ished third floor, instead of being & found only in the private rooms which Coolidge has had furnished ac- { cording to her own ideas. Mrs.. Rockefelier McCormick has been for 20 vears quietly buving the most valuable emeralds placed on the market in any part of the world, and she has now what is regarded as the most complete and rarest private col- lJection in the worid. She has many ©of the famous gems of the Russians ¢ and she has occasionally been able to purchase some stones from the i rajahs of India, for whom this green f gem has a peculiar fascination. Like { the late Mme. George Bahkmetieff, § wife of the last Czarist Ambassador { to Washington, who_was Miss Mary « Beale of this city, Mrs. McCormick ! buys only emeralds, though many are circled with diamonds and pearls, iwhlch are as valuable. Mme. Bahk- H metieff, daughter of the late Gen. { Edward Fitzgerald Beale, died in Paris § fiv - vears ago, and her jewals are all f Jocked safely in the vault of one of §its banks. M. Bahkmetieff never I made peace with the Kerensky gov- { ernment and the Soviets confiscated his property and exiled him, so that he has never returned to this country. i Lacking a passport, though this Gov- { ernment offered to waive this require- ment. he has filed a copy of his wife's fwin in the American Embassy and i has gone through all formality re- f quired to secure the fortune and the { Jewels against his death. The emer- jayas. it is understood, are willed to ithe small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 1 Edward B. McLean. The Spanish Ambassador, Senor Alejandro Padilla, has had placed in [m. marble entrance of the new chan- 'eel-ry. which faces on Fifteenth street jmear Girard street, one of the most fascinating national coat-of-arms ever {seen in Washington. It displays the {shields of the four ancient kingdoms of Spain—Castile, Arragon, Leon and Navarre—with the central shield con- ining the coat-of-arms of the Bour- s, now the reigning house of the n peninsula. Senor Padilla has #4n a sense restored the arms of Spain “te public view in this Capital, for not imince the departure of the envoy of jAlfonso XIIT in 1897, preceding the declaration of the Spanish-American “War, has the insignia of that nation ‘been seen on fits chancelry, for the eason that for almost 20 years the have been located in a hotel or partment house adjacent to the em- It is evident that Spain fore- pees no rupture of friendly relations, #ince a vast sum has heen expended #on ite Washington home and chancel- n*, and on both buildings' has the inister of foreign affairs ordered the Tational insignia set imperishably 3nto the stone rather than the remov- ®ble xhield which is shown on the whancelry of the British embassy.

Mrs. Charles 1. Scribner was | Mrs. Vanderlip's able istant and {invaluable aid in marking off the proper fashions for each year until the sartorial revolution of the 1917 1819, when tight short skirts began to gain a vogue. The revelations since were faithfully depicted, to the great merriment of the galleries ranged along the vast ballroom on four sides land packed into the tiers above. | The Ambassador to Londan, Mr. Houghton, a recent White House guest, is among the several members of the diplomatic establishment who has not adopted the British fashion of wearing the bowler hat. He ap- parently finds this kind of head piece uncomfortable and he clings to his derby, or oftener a soft brown fedora. Mr. John W. Davis wore ,the bowler quite easily, but Mr. Kellogg, being a Westerner, adhered tenaciously to the wide, soft felt hat except on state occasions, when he appeared in the customary silk hat. But keen-eyed correspondents note that a majority of the several thousand citizens of the United States who are domiclled in London for business or professional reasons wear the bowler because the King and other royalties have set the fashion, and the American does not like to lag behind. The energetic President of the Turkish Republic has made the bowler hat the offcial head- gear of his faithful adherents, so with a large contingent of Turkish diplo- mats in Washington it ix not surpris- ing that such shapes may be seen oc- casionally in the modish shops for men. The young Britons, however, attached to the local embassy seldom wear the bowler, but, like other men, have fedoras or felt hats of varying shapes. Many foreigners wear felts of the styles common in their country. The fez, which has been condemned by the Turk, continues popular with the Egyptians and with the Persians, the former wearing red and the latter black on all ceremonial occasions. Mrs. Cosmo Hamilton, wife of the well known essayist, dramatist and critic, during the several years she lived in London, was among the lead- ing American hostesses of the lite- rary contingent. She was before her marriage Miss Julia Currey, and her father and grandfather were among | the legal lights of 8an Francisco, the | latter having achieved much fame during the quarter of the century that he presided over the Supreme Court of California. Mr. and Mrs. Hamil ton now reside permanently in New York City and both are assoclated with the great colony of writers, MRS, WARREN N. AKERS, Vice chairman of the Arts Club Bal Bohemy January 30, . He also many sonal friends, for his father is the much beloved rector of the Church of St.~James at Great Barrington, in the Berkshires, and he and his wife, who was Miss Helen de Mott of Albany, frequently spend their vacations at the rectory. “Mr. Anderson lives in Mont- clair, Where he is esteemed as & ripe scholar and a charming companion No one plece of short writing ever took the hold on the {magination of the public in this country except that atirring ballad, “The Message to Gar- in," which was among the shibbo- leths of the Spanish-American War.
