Tales of Well Known Folk - In Social and Official Life Spanish Ambassador Awaiting Favorable Op- portunity for Vacation Period in His Beautiful Villa at San Sebastian. * BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The Spanish Ambassador, Senor Ale- jandro de Padilla, will without doubt occupy his beautiful villa at San Sebastian if the time arrives when he can safely leave his post here. With an extra session in progress and tariff reviewing among the major tasks, diplo- mats will pass a busy Summer, and nothing at present seems as unim- portant as where to locate the vaca- tion quarters. The dean of the corps, Sir Esme Howard, announced that he scarcely hoped again for such prolonged rest as was possible last Summer, when preparations for the presidential cam- paign engrossed political attention, and the incumbent of the White House w out of the race and gone into the re- | tirement of fisaing. It seems to be among the inrovations of the present day that business at the Capital is im- portant enough to keep Ambassadors and Ministers at their posts_even through the heat of Summer. But in the instance of the Spanish Ambassador he has been one of King Alfonso's main supports in the matter of enter- taining the numerous distinguished citizens of Uncle Sam who visit the Summer court city, San Sebastian, and this year the numbers will be consider- ably augmented through visits to the two expositions at Seville and_ Barce- Jona. The son-in-law of the Marquis de Satrustigui, one of tie great ship owners of Spain, the ambassador is as- sociated with that dignitary socially and in business ventures, and their ad- Jjoining palatial homes in San Sebastian are the scenes of brilliant hospitality. * K ok K Mr. Edwin Vernon Morgan, Ambas- sador from this republic to Brazil, is in point of continuous residence abroad the dean of the foreign service in the major divisions as Minister Plenitenti- ary and as Ambassador. Mr. Morgan has entered on his eighteenth year as Ambassador at Rio, and no one of that rank in the State Department personnel can claim even half that number of years in such an exalted post. Were it not that & papal nuncio, Mgr. Luigi Gasparri, nephew of the secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, is in residence, Mr. Morgan would be dean of the corps, but traditional courtesy yields that honor to the Pope's repre- sentative, who is always in holy orders. Besides his brilliant career in Rio, Mr. Morgan has the historic distinction of being the lsst Minister sent by this country to Kerea before the latter's ab- sorption by the Japanese Empire in 1905. He was in Seoul from 1903, and when Korea lost its sovereignty he was transferred to Havana, which had recently gained it. The Ambassador at Rio spent several years at the State Department ani was an accepted squire of dames in the remote years when the daughters of Secretary John Hay were the toast of the hour.” Mr. Morgan has never married-—has never been even connected with a matrimonial rumor— but, as his frienids point out, he is only in his sixty-fonurth year and bachelors more advanced in years are falling vic- tims to Cupid in many capitals. * X ox x ‘Mme. Debuchi, wife of the Japanese Ambassador, and her 15-year-old davghter, Takaka, have won the same afi~ctionate regard as that held by Mme. Matsuda'ra and little Setsu, who just a year ago Were sauntering under the Japanese cherry blossoms and greeting with accustomed courtesy all whom they encountered. Day had barely dawned several times during the profusion of cherry blooms around the Tidal Basin when the Ambassador and ‘Mme. De- buchi, with the ‘tall athletic son, Katsu, and the slender, graceful young daugh- ter would, despite the heavy dew, walk directly under the trees and inhale the delicate perfume. There are many dainty legends and many verses which Mme. Debuch, a student of many lan- guages, recites for her friends, embrac- ing also the words of the ritual used when the petals are showered on the statue of Buddha. Washington is gradually imbibing this spirit of the Oriental cherry blooming time, and it has been astonishing to note how many devout admirers visited the basin be- tween 6 and 8 o'clock in the morning to enjoy the vision in quiet and soli- tude rather than when the crowded automobiles began to pass. The cherry blossoms on Hains Point do not appeal to the members of the Japanese em- bassy because in their owil land the cherry groves always are planted against a background of evergreen trees and have more seclusion than those arranged in groups of seven or nine on the east and west driveways leading to and from the point. L The National Society of Colonial Dames, which last Spring became the owner of Bellevue, the lordly yellow mansion in Q street on the outer edge of Georgetown, has, in pursuance of one of its main purposes, “to restore and preserve buildings connected with the early history of the country,” begun & reproduction of an authentic eighteenth century mansion which stood for 140 years at 34 Wall strect, New York. The president general of the Colonial Dames reluctantly determined on this plan after spending much time vainly en- deavoring to find a genuine, well pre- served mansion on Manhattan Island which had been built during the recog- nized Colonial period. Failing to find such, she engaged Mr. Richard H. Dana, jr., to design the proposed New York headquarters after the residence which figured in social history in 1735. Wall street was Gotham's Fifth avenue for a full century, and this home, presum- ably built by one of the Verplanck family, stood immediately opposite the Bank of New York, and next door lived ‘William Burnett, royal governor of the colony and an immense favorite of ‘Willlam IIL. A chapter of history which will be preserved, though not to the liking of the Colonial Dames, is that Gen. Knyphausen, commander.of the Hessian armies in the War of Indepen- dence, lived in great state at 3¢ Wall street, and he remained in his com- fortable dwelling as long as it was safe for Hessians to remain in that vicinity. Robert and Peter Bruce, who laid the first pavement in Wall street, lived there for many years, and until its demolition in 1905 this mansion’ is written prominently in the history of the great city. But the duplicate will be built at 215-217 East Seventy-first street, an environment more in harmony with the society’s requirements than the world's most famous financial center. * x X X Mr. Prank A. Vanderlip, it will be remembered, purchased about a year ago the old village of Sparta, adjacent to Scarsborough-on-th~--Hudson, be- cause he desired peace a\i seclusion in his fine country estate and because the village named for the heroic Greek state was filled with undesirable citizens. M>. Tanudrlip is well known in Wash- ington, where he came in his early years with the late Lyman J. Gage. As Assistant Secretary of the Treasury he lald the foundation of his stupendous _ financial success, He paid a good price for all tht holdings and the villagers were quite content. Mr. John D. Rockefeller, jr, recently consummated another such real estate transaction | Fred, when he bought, at top anclent hamlet of Eastview, a suburb of much renown near Tarry- town, N. ¥, Mr. Rockefeller seeks quiet and seclusion for Pocantico Hills, chief seat of the family, and also to provide a route for the local branch of the the colonial | SI dance halls, gasoline stations and picnic grounds, * K K ¥ Mr. Philip Lee Carroll's annual in- vitation to his horse-loving friends to attend the show and races at his pri- vate track at Doughreghan Manor the second week in May calls attention to the fact that the prospective host is the direct lineal descendant in the tenth generation cof Charles Carroll of Car- rollton, and he maintains in olden state the beautiful home from which the signer departed for the Continental Congress and in which he died. Very few such chapters may be written of the other signers although the fine home of John Quincy Adams at Braintree, near Quincy, Mass., remains in the Adams family; yet the colonial’ tradi- tion does not maintain as. faithfully as a Doughreghan. Arthur Middleton, the courtly and accomplished signer from Charleston, 8. C., owned a splen- did estate, called Ashley, and this later | developed in the famous botanical pre- serve known the world over as Mag- nolia-on-the-Ashley. But the prop- erty passed from the Middletons a gen- eration after the signer died. He was, it will be remembered, taken prisoner after the army of Cornwallis had cap- tured the South Caroling stronghold and whete Pulaski had gallantly given up his life for the cause of freedom. So rigorous and inhuman was the treat- ment accorded this cultured Southron in the British prison camp that he died within three years afterward at York- town. His memorial addressed to Con- gress on the subject is frequently quoted by American and British historians alike. Mr. Middleton was an artist and an ardent lover of flowers. Many of the magnificent magnolias which vis- itors now travel from overseas to ad- mire in their blooming season were planted under his order and the splen- did border of wild verbena was also his creation Magnolia-on-the-Ashley, ! after weathering many years of neglect under many careless owners, passed. to the family of Drayton and under their prudent management the magnolia gar- dens, in which bloom also azaleas, ca- melias and some 30 varieties of the flowering tree which gives name to the estate, were restored. | * b kig Lady Ashburton of the present day, one of London’s most important host- esses, was, before her marriage, Miss Frances Donnelly of New York City, niece of the Shakespearan scholar, Ignatius Donnelly, and of the well known poetess, Eleanor C. Donnelly. She plays an important role in the scheme of things in the British Capital and is an especially brilliant and attentive hostess to her visiting countrywomen. Lord Ashburton is only a collateral de- scendant of that astute envoy from Britain who, as the chronicles relate, floated his treaty, signed jointly by the mighty Daniel Webster, through the Senate on a sea of champagne. But the name is of interest to all students of political history, and Lady Ashburton has proved most amiable to students and historians, as well as to the votaries of fashion, * ok k% Mr. Thomas L. Masson, better known as Tom Masson the humorist, has been hammering away at four words, used. he believes, too frequently in every kind of writing, “outstanding,” “reaction,” “meticulous” and “superimposed,” and his onslaughts have aroused instant at- tention in the literary journals of Lon- don. Nearly all of Britain's intelli- gentsia agree with the humorist that ever since the World War these words have performed faithful service and should now be retired. “Superimposed,” which occurs so frequently in the writ- ings| of presumably purists of the lan- guage on this side of the water and in England, is, according to supporters of the New York critic, not only employed too often to be forcible, but also is im- proper and should be eliminated. Sev- eral London editors add the American list to a collection of their own, and many editors in all time have de- clared an embargo on the offending epi- thets. The late Charles A. Dana, one of the most brilliant editors this country has produced,” had violent antipathies to certain words and simply would not allow them in his newspaper, the Sun. But while the critics list the synonyms for these popular expressions they re- luctantly agree the everyday writer bent on force and simplicity is going to have a difficult time getting along without “outstanding” and “reaction,” notwith- standing the opinion of the humorist and of Mr. Gilbert Chesterton. * ok ok k Mrs. Anna Rogers Broughton, widow of Urban H. Broughton, one of London’s successful financiers, who died last month at an advanced age, is planning to bring the famous yacht Sapphire to this side of the world during the com- ing Summer. In the soclal sense no craft on the French Riviera was more renowned for quiet elegant hospitality than the Sapphire, and it was the home of its owners practically two-thirds of the year. Mrs. Broughton is the young- est sister of the elder Henry H. Rogers, associate of Mr. John D. Rockefeller in founding the Standard Oil Corporation. She was born in the old Rogers home, in Fairhaven, on Buzzards Bay, Mass., and, like her brother, she manifested the keenest interest in that town. Espe- cially was she proud of the noble group of buildings which Mr. Rogers erected and endowed to perpetuate the memory of his parents, who had been descend- ants of pioneers who settled in this part of the old Massachusetts Bay Colony in the middle seventeenth century. Mrs. Broughton ‘has especially interested herself in Priscilla Pnn. at Fairhaven, named for her mother, and an endowed institution for the purpose of keeping alive the anclent New Eng- land culinary traditions. She will bring the Sapphfre to the waters of Buzzards Bay and entertain many relays of Brit- ish friends at the inn during the Sum- mer. The elder Henry H. Rogers spent several weeks each Summer in Fair- haven just to enjoy food which he rel- ished' in his mother’s home and pre= pared nowhere else so tastily as in this inn, where hundreds of old recipes have been collected and are used daily, Plans Are Completed For U.
