WE SPECIALIZE IN MEDIUM AND LARGE HEADSIZES Capital Cordiali—; Welcomes Senator And Mrs. Walcott| (Cc ued From First Page.) gerous journey into the pampas regions of South America, in the interest of | wild life and to make special studies on the birds. The American Museum | of Natural History received many of the species. In many public roles he has proved a strong advocate of con- serving bird life in his State, and while he served as president of the board of fisheries he made numerous useful rules about conserving the water power. Mrs. Walcott was Miss Mary Hussey Guthrie of Pittsburgh and the marriage occurred in 1907. Although the name Walcott is honorably associated with the founding of the Nutmeg State and the family had in the middle seven- teenth century located in Litchfield County. the Senator was born in New | York Mills, a pretty suburb of Utica, where his father was interested in textile activities. He lived there until | his mature years, when he removed | with his family to Norfolk, his present | home in Connecticut. He acquired the old mansion of his grandfather, Dr.l Willlam Welch, a beloved physician of | medico and scientist of Johns Hopkins, | Dr. Willlam Welch, 2d. This fine old | house has been a rendezvous for | naturalists, scholars and above all for | fishermen. Mrs. Walcott Ranks as Charming Hostess. Mrs. Walcott has been a charming and discriminating hostess and has en- joved a wide experience in such social duties as will come to her in Wash- ington. Although the public knows of the close friendship between Senator Wal- cott and his wife and the distinguished occupants of the White House only since the pre-war activities for Belgian and Polish relief and after the partici- pation of this Republic in the war in the Food Administration, they had in reality been associated in philanthropic enterprises years before these episodes. Mr. and Mrs. Walcott were frequently in London while Mr. and Mrs. Hoover kept a home of their own there, and if the latter was then too busy with his en- gineering projects to participate in the | bird-hunting adventures he was much | interested in Mr. Walcott's predilection | for fishing and often joined his parties. | Mrs, Walcott has been quietly asso- | ciated with her husband’s manifold duties, and though she conceived it her first duty to Jook out for the home and the children, she has taken a keen in- terest In the outdoor associations of the Senator. There are two sons, Alexander G. Walcott, who is 22 and will take his degree from Yale in June, and the second, William Welch Walcott, in the sophomore year at the same institution. Both boys followed their father first at Andover and then to the illustrious seat of learning in New Haven, where the | name of Walcott ®gures many times in | the alumni. There are 64 Chinese Catholic priests in the 80 parishes in Peking. — | THE WOMAN'S SHOP OF F ASEH the arch flatter drooping hrim, . in a felt that folds its brim in front as if loath to hide the features be- neath.
