H. PICKETT. OCIETY"isin fine fettle for a lively week socially with widely diversified entertainment, ranging from grand opera, a bi; benefit ball and many dinner and luncheon parties, and a homes of unusual interest. The return of the First Lady of the Land brought back the joy she always injects into the life of the Capital, and it is not unlikely that her first appearance will be at the Senate ladies’ luncheon Tuesday at the home of Senator and Mrs. Lawrence Phipps. Tfl! diplomatic corps, combining Washington's interesting and ornamental members of society such as only the capitals of the world can boast, has shown a decidedly restless spirit in the last few weeks, traveling about over the country from place to place—the French Ambassador to Atlanta and other Southern rolnu. the Am- bassador of Belgium on the wing, and the dean of the corps, the Ambassador of Great Britain, and Lady Isabella Howard, now at Asheville, where they are enjoying the hospitality of Biltmore House, and the Netherlands Minister and Mme. van Royen just back from | Boston. 'CARCELY before June, however, will the real exodus of travel start from the Capital and by far the larger number of embassies and legations 1 be located on the North Shore. The British diplomats already have taken several houses and a chancellery at Beverly Farms in the vicinity of the Leiter and other well known homes. Mr. Henry Getty Chilton leased for the embassy three houses, one of which he and Mrs. Chilton will occup*, and two others will be occupied by members of the embassy staff, while Willow- brook, the estate of Mrs. N. 8. Simpkins, is leased for the chancery. Wing Comdr. and Mrs. Hetherington have leased the Palfrey estaie »t Prides Crossing. THE German embassy and the Netherlands legation go to the same vicinity on the North Shore and it is altogether likely that the Italian embassy will move to that part of the coast for the Summer. Bearcely in any other part of the East are country and seashore so well combined for social and sporting life.

Mrs. Frank B. Freyer is chair- man of the ball committee, HE several women’s conventions meeting here just-now with their handsome delegates more handsomely clothed serve to remind mere man of the unusual flash of brilllancy, which will be given each of the great political conventions not f’;r off. Last week one of the most conspicuous bodies to meet was that of the League of American Pen Women and this week the National Boclety Daughters of the American Revolution adds its annual share of brilllancy. Today the churches and streets are filled with the delegates to the D. A R.

Li'grary Tum. The new Senator from Michigan, Arthur Hendrick Vanderberg, with his wife and three children, do not come to Washington as strangers, but have been frequent visitors for several years | past. Indeed, there are many resi- dents of Washington who have known the new Senator from Grand Rapids since his early boyhood. These include several of the congressional delegation and former citizens who are from the vicinity of his home. Many recall his activity in the matter of securing the funds wherewith Michigan could pre- sent to statuary hall in theh Capitol the splendid figure of Zacharfah Chandler and remember his eloquent speech when Chandler’s daughter, Mrs. Eugene Hale, | and his. grandson, Senator Frederick Hale, were the honored guests on that occasion and were the hosts of the chairman and orator during his brief visit to Washington.
