Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Personal Sketches and Incidents of Special Inter- est, Gathered in Review of Events 0{ TWO Hemispheres. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. It must rejoice the heart of Bishop Freeman and those who so ably co- operated with him and his predecessors in establishing the beautiful arrange- ment and planting of the close of the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul that a church garden club has recently been established on Staten Island, and that alrcady meetings are being held in varfous parts of the island to form the same sort of organization as that of the local garden guild. The Cathedral Close is one of the most beautiful gar- dens attached to any ecclesiastical edi- fice in this count?y, and as the builders of this stately minster gave abundant elbow room for grounds and buildings, the foundation bids fair to become one of the most impressive in all the United States. Bishop Manning of New York has accomplished much for beautifying church grounds and has freely placed the landscape artists employed by the Cathedral of St. John the Divine at the pleasure of perturbed pastors and of any denomination wishing to improve the aspect of their churches. The first recorded church garden club, which, of course, must be dissociated from the many guilds and special societies of much older origin, has been _established at New Brighton, Staten Island, and its members propose to spend the dead months of Winter in getting a correct srospectus on their grounds and its relation to the church.. When Spring | breaks they will make their first at tempt at beautification in_ the Spring | buibs, which are to be raised in_hot- | houses and then transplanted. Sum- mer bulbs also will be planted as soon as possible, but the main activity will be planting of shrubs and ornamental trees. * ok K * Countess Scherr-Thoss, who is divid- the Winter pleasantly between ashington and New York City, has been bending her energies in behalf of the nursing sisters of the Franciscan orders, who are seeking an establish- ment under Cardinal Hayes. The countess, a daughter of the late Henry White, diplomat and statesman, takes a kindly interest in the little Brown sisters because her husband, Count Herman Scherr-Thoss, descends in un- broken line from the beloved St. Eliza- beth of Hungary, who also belonged to the Franciscans as a lay member. The pictured lives of the saints in tableaus vants, which were so enthuslastically {ved in Washington, and which have sen repeated in certain features in New York City, are to be arranged to 1aclude certain lovely scenes in the life of St Clare, who was the associate of St. Francis of Assisi in founding the feminine branch of the order. Some scenes may also present parts of the “Pioretti,” or Francis,” one of the most beloved of books, and which shares with “The Fol- lowing of Christ,” by Thomas a’Kempis, the honor of having a place on the reading table of all the piously inclined. Countess Scherr-Thoss has not yet de- cided whether the newly added por- tions of the tableaus given last Spring in association with Lady Isabella How- ard will be shown in Washington dur- ing the Lenten season, but she will make & tour of several cities along the Canadian border and into Montreal and Quebec. * % % * Charles Darwin is to be signally hon- ored at his old home at Down, in Kent, the coming Spring, when the seventieth anniversary of his publication of “The Origin of the Species” will be com- memorated in scientific circles of Lon- dcn and the world. The residence of the naturalist in the pretty seaside village of Down, in Surrey, has recently been restored to the exact condition it presented when the great evolutionist rested there from his intensive studies. It is a rambling stucco house of three stories, except on the eastern wing, and is almost completely covered with rare vines brought from alien lands during his travels. Dr. Darwin bought the place because of its fine orchard of cherry trees, a few sturdy, well bearing apple trees and a grove of black wal- nuts. The house he altered, with the e of large, light rooms for his tory and equally airy quarters for the sleeping chambers and living quarters. Orchids had been a favorite floral study, and the naturalist has re- corded in several places the fact that when wearied of the profound re- searches intc the origin of the human kind he drew recreation and inspira- tion through studying the intricacies of orchids. The house at Down will be used as a scientific shrine, and will be in readiness for the anniversary in the Spring. A commission of scientists and physicians obtained the necessary fund to buy Down House and restore it. * ok ok % President Doumergue of the French republic has among the other duties pertaining to his office that of enter- taining during the Christmas holidays “Little Flowers of St.| ja group of high government chieftains and diplomats at a hunting party in | the forest of Rambouillet. In the years of the Bourbon kings this week devoted |to the pleasures of the chase would | begin with solemn services in honor of | St. Hubert, patron of huntsmen. But | so_many French officials do not sub- 3anbe to the Roman Church and so many diplomats belong to dissenting creeds that this formality has lapsed. | The Chief Magistrate of France is of | a poetic nature, and abhors the killing | of the forest creatures, particularly the | birds, for which he has a special fond- ness. While he fills his traditional | duties to the last letter in inviting the | sportsmen to Rambouillet, his only par- | ticipation is to preside at the luncheon, rather formal in character, which is served about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the events of the hunt form the principal theme of table talk. The in- terval the presidential host passes | tramping the high roads,. his favorite trails through the woods being highly unsafe with huntsmen at large, even the quiet pools where he loves to fish being too close to the rifles for the safety of the fisher. Ambassador Her- rick, who frequently is asked to the forest, this being deemed an exalfed honor, is not partial to killing game, and this year his continued absence and illness caused him to decline the invi- tation. * %k Mrs. Charles Frederick Hoffman's success in winning the right to stand, as the British term goes, for the bor- ocugh of North Norfolk in the coming election for the Commons is being watched with unflagging interest by her former friends and associates in politi- cal circles of New York. This lady, who has an enormous income and a fine an- cestral background in the Empire State |and in Louisiana, was naturalized as a citizen of Great Britain only last Spring. But she had resided in Bickling Hall, at Aylsham, in Norfolk, for the past 12 years, and during the past Summer she acquired title to this historic and ex- tensive estate, and soon after she was nominated a candidate on the Liberal | ticket for her borough. Mrs. Hoffman's task is not the comparatively easy one which such a campaign would mean in | her own country. More than 300 vil- | lages comprise the district which she | aspires to represent in the popular | house of the Brit! Parliament, and | the traditions are that she must visit every one, méet its people and accept all manner of entertaining, which is far | more strenuous than kissing the babies and the handshaking pertaining to pre- | election activities in this land. Mean- | time a vast amount of entertaining goes ! jon at Bickling Hall, a splendid Tudor mansion with gardens which are the pride of the county, exceeding in area | and breadth of design even those of the | royal dwelling at Sandringham. | * ok ok K Clara Barton'sone-room-cottage at Bor- dentown, N. J., where in 1853 she opened the first public school in this venerable burg, is now a museum of the American founder of the Red Cross and filled with valuable relics of the opening days of this famous and widespread organiza- tion of mercy. The cottage placed at Miss Barton's disposal by the city fa- thers is small but picturesque in the extreme, and the trellis, many times renewed since the day it was set in place by the proud boys who had fash- joned it, is in proper season. covered with the old-fashioned roses which the “angel of the battlefield,” as President Lincoln called Miss Barton, planted in those early days. Six boys were for a year her only students, but they all gave good accounts of themselves. Bordentown has boasted of many celeb- rities among its residents, but despite its high hopes of becoming a mighty | port of entry by land and sea, it re- mains a quiet, beautifully situated little city now more than 250 years old. Revolutionary history was written in lively skirs tes held between the Brit- ish troops encamped on the opposite side of Crosswicks Creek and the Patri- otic Army led by Capt. Joseph Borden, grandson of the founder of the town, who afterward served on Gen. Washing- ton’s staff. He was the last male de- scendant of the founder, Joseph Borden, a Quaker who, with many others of that sect, had retired from the crowded purviews of Pennsylvania to the Jersey colony. * ok .k % Mr. and Mrs. Elliott Schuyler Phil- lips, who some years ago purchased the beautiful estate of the late dramatist, Clyde Fitch, at Greenwich, Conn., had in a way anticipated the unique sug- gestion of a prominent hotel man to have a chapel in every hostelry, Mr. Fitch had called his home Quiet* Corner, and had arranged both house and garden with the idea of rest and seclusion.

He had come on the chapel practically aban- doned during a prolonged visit to Spain, and had it carefully taken apart and shipped to Connecticut. Mr. Phil- lips has changed the chapel a bit in that he has taken out all parapher- nalia of work and substituted pevs and chairs and has placed soft violet and vellow glass in the windows. His guests are always taken there after the inspection of the mansion and grounds and told that when the cares of life press too heavily it is wise to pass a few hours in solitude and orayer. * K K K Thomas Hardy's resting place in the splendid gloom of Westminster Abbey | is not at all to the liking of his friends and admirers, and while they do not g the lengths of suggesting ‘the removal of his remains, they lament 1n .iterary sutpourings that the pomp and circura- stance of the funeral were decided upon without giving due notice to all his friends and admirers. A burial in Westminster is not the desire of the celebrities of Britain of today, and many who are high in fame and lit- erary rtenown are distinctly against such an interment. How much more satisfactory, says the present day celeb- rity, is the tomb of Sir Waiter Scott at Melrose than if he were submerged in the desolate gloom of the vast met- ropolitan abbey. Shakespeare at Stiat- ford-on-Avon is another highly popular illustration used against committing the dean of English letters, the re- nowned Hardy, to a grave in West- minster. The Duke of Richmoud, who died during the past Autumn, was a distinguished ~ commander in the South African campaigns and an ex- tensive land owner in Scotiend, and, as head of the clan of Gordon, al- ways were his tarltan and Balmeral cap. He was entitled to the giccm and pomp of public obsequies and burial in St. Paul's, but he expresslv forbade 1t and was irterred in the presence only of his family, retainers and cl friends in the Cathedral of Chichester. * ko x K Mr. William H, Singer, jr., the emi- nent artist who many years ago re- nounced all ‘the accepted schools of this country and of Latin Europe, Italy and France, and established studio permanently in Oldenfal, Norway, has recently been making one of his rare Jaquet Face Treatments are scientifically given by experts — they pre- vent or correct facial blemishes.

It appears that Mr. Singer retains the tenderest memories of his early home, and he departed from it only because of its smoke and clouded atmosphere, as he could not obtain the effects he wanted. He has been reading, how- ever, that the once great smoky city has changed this condition and can now boast of as clear air and sunny skies as do other big American indus- trial centers. Whether Mr. Singer will find this promise a reality is not yet known. He departed in his youth for Paris and studied for many years at the Academie Julien, but he decided after several terms in Rome and in Florence that the bracing clear air of the north countries was what he longed for. His principal canvases hang in the famous rauseums of the world, and since his recent exhibition—his first appearance in the art world of his own land for 10 years—his fellow countrymen will have opportunity to judge of his merits. A famed canvas, “Solitude,” depicting the northern flords was recently purchased by the French government and now hangs in the Luxembourg. * ok ok K Sir Thomas Fermor-Hesketh, who, with Lady Hesketh, has recently been visiting relatives living from New York City to the Golden Gate, is the son of that better known baron of the same title who was for some years & resident of California and who mar- ried Miss Florence Sharon, daughter of the late Senator Willlam Sharon of San Francisco. The present Sir Thomas PFermor-Hesketh is the head and front of the movement in the British Midlands to introduce Ameri- can race course ideals in that section and to support the small course of the countryside against the larger and more aggressive national enterprises. Lady Fermor-Hesketh of today is the former Miss Florence Louise Brecken- ridge, daughter of the late J. W, Breck- enridge. and granddaughter of Gen. J. C.
