“-Tales of Well Known Folk | and Official Life In Social History Cites Novel Incidents in Lives of States- men, Including, Incidentally, Public Debates on Extraordinary Topics. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. President Hoover’s partiality for chicken ple and the formula which he enjoys most, and especially as his main support for luncheon, is being eagerly transmitted by friends and is getting to be a vogue. Some 20 years ago, it is recalled, an amusing controversy was waged between important members of the legislative circle—Senator Swanson, Representatives Ollle James and the late Oscar Underwood, then soon to en- | ter the Senate, and the late Champ Clark, subsequently elected Speaker of the House—about the proper way to raise the porker to produce the juciest and best flavored ham and how to cook the same. Such a controversy is bound to flourish, and, indeed, may extend to the legislative circle, when it be- comes known that the recipe said to be best relished by the Chief Magistrate contains peas, minced onion and other extraneous edibles. A vast number of traditional chicken pie advocates are bound to rush forward with their for- mula. Chicken pie south of Mason and Dixon’s line is a dish not to be in any degree slighted and any one who has gone to market with a-good old-fash- ioned Southern homekeeper and noted the care with which the chicken for | the ple is selected may be prepared to | enjoy a dish fit for the gods. For only | the choice part of the fowl is used. it| is placed in a deep dish lined with the | material which produces flaky dough, | covered with rich, sweet cream and much butter, and then baked until the crust is golden brown. It must be served steaming hot as a second meat dish, and usually just before the salad. Chicken pie at a Southern dinner is as essential as game pie at a British feast and just as highly appreciated. But no doubt the advocates of the pie with green vegetables will be heard on the subject and the result cannot fail to be informative and entertaining. i * Mrs. Edward Mitchell Townsend of Oyster Bay, Long Island, who as a member of the Coionial Dames and its representative on the board of Sul- grave Manor, is giving lectures in va- rious cities on the gardens of that re- vered spot in Northamptonshire, where once the immediate ancestors of George Washington had their home. Mrs. Townsend makes an annual visit to Sulgrave, a tiny, unpretentious village when the manor first became the mecca of American pllgrims, but now a siz- able city with many up-to-date hotels. She is an authority on early gardens and has been associated with Lady Lee of Fareham, Lady Hudson and the Countess of Sandwich in Testoring. the grounds of Sulgrave Manor. Many ex- quisite shrubs and perennials have come from the gardens at Mount Ver- non and are making excellent progress in their new home. Offerings have been sent from Monticello and from many of the fine estates on James River whose owners during the Revo- lutionary periods were friends and as- sociates” of Gen. Washington. Mrs. Mitchell will lecture in various cities and will probably come to Washington before she sails the last of June to at- tend the annual meeting of the Sul- grave Institute. 5 * % K : Mr. Pierre S. du Pont, whose estate Longwood, on the border line between Pennsylvania and Delaware counties has i perhaps_the largest and most valuable under-glass garden ‘and orchards to be found in this couhtry, has until this| past Spring freely permitted the_ public to enjoy his treasures without any re- striction whatever, entrance being freed of supervision from his army of gar- deners. But many visitors have abused this kindness, having glucked the flow- ers and wrought much damage to small-fruit plants, like strawberries and dewberries. Now a stern guardian stands sentinel, and if he does not ap- rove the general appearance and be- vior of the'would-be entrant he is turned back. All those not person- Lally known to the head gardeners are now required fo pay a small entrance fee which is devoted to charities in Wil- mington. Many- residents of the city, so strongly associated in the public mind with the ‘activities of the du Ponts, have visited the gardens for years and they are allowed perfect free- dom when they bring appreciative iriends. One of the most beautiful patios to be admired outside of Spain or the older cities of Latin America i3 in the center of the glass houses, and, in this enclosure Mr. and Mrs. du Pont give organ concerts, ‘their pipe organ being one of the most melodious in the country, and they invite well known professional singers to entertain their friends. Entirely inclosed in glass after ihe manner of the patio in the Pan- American Hall, the roof is divided into 5 four parts and drops to the side when the weather is sultry. =% The Governor of the Bahamas, Sir Charles Willlam James Orr, and Lady James Orr have been most hosptiable to the thousands of citizens from this re- Nassau and its environs to the more actice resorts in Cuba and Bermuda. Government House, the vast white pile which stands conspicuously on a hill | off the harbor, is the scene of gayety | from early November, when the firsi denizens of the dominion flee from the snow and plercing winds which pro- claim Winter. Until the end of May | Nassau has its hundreds of visitors, and like Bermuda a tidy number all through the Summer. Sir Charles is a retired army officer and had met all the celeb- rities of this country at one time or another during the war or in the con- course of public men who came on war work in the years following. Besides having an excellent martial record, the genial governor is an author, and many recent visitors have returned with his books on “Oyprus Under British Rule,” “The Making of Nigeria,” and a charm- ing sketch on Gibraltar, where he served seven years as British commandant. * k% x Mme. Tsuya Okudo, a demure, soft- voiced ‘resident of Tokio, who was two years ago appointed by the imperial government as chief instructress of all the sewing schools of Japan, landed in Sen.Francisco recently and is making a | leisurely tour of this country, inspect- ing all its public institutions. She will in course of time be a guest of the | Japanese embassy in Washington and | as she speaks excellent English, she | may address some of the progressive clubs of this city and certainly will visit all its high schools. Mme. Okudo's schools of sewing are all affiliated with | high schools and the one in Tokio has been named in her honor. The high note of this Oriental expert's method is to produce durable, good looking gar- ments in a minimum of time, and as all of Japanese femininity in the schools wear the kimono, this is a simpler ob- | jective than it would be in this coun- try. Nevertheless, she conducts classes in which a kimono is cut, sewed, pressed and is ready to wear in one hour and a half. These garments usually are changed very often, daily in some in- stances. All pupils, even the very poor, possess many kimonos and every six months they are ripped apart, laundered and again made into the national gar- ments. It looks very simple and no doubt Washington will listen with keen attention to all this capable, useful sewing teacher has to impart. Re- cently Mme. Okudo has taken over the task of directing the cutting of thou- sands of business suits for men pat- terned after the American garments so | coveted by the male population of the island empire. After the cutting trained tailors attend to the making. * x ok ¥ Mr. Otto H. Kahn. who is chairman of the board of trustees of the Metro- politan Opera House, is all but swamped by protests from music lovers who were annoyed beyond endurance by talking and laughing during the performances last season. Specific charges are made and apparently some of these protests will go directly to box owners whose temporary guests have caused most of the complaints. It is probable that when another season opens for this re- nowned temple of song there will be rules promulgated applicable to the ra- diant horseshoe as well as to less prominent parts of the house. Those who know what is meant by the Bay- reuth -or the Munich traditions under- stand that no late comer is allowed ‘in until the close of the act and to talk or laugh while the performance is in progress would result in immediate #x- ulsion. In fact, those familiar with the illustrious German music centers al- lege that no such offense has even been committed, and music lovers of Euro- pean extraction are utterly confounded the | to learn that laughing and talking are not unusual occurrences even during the high spots of operas in the Metro- politan. Mr. Kahn, rumor says, is pon- dering on a set of rules which must be observed by box owners or temporary and by the audience in general 1f they desire the privilege of the opara house. * x % & Crown Prince Gustaf of Sweden, who has visited these shores several times— on the last occasion to unveil the statue of Leif Ericson—has always been a collector of Japanese and Chinese art objects.

Baroness von Stern- berg offered the entire collection to the Saxon government, her husband having been a citizen of that kingdom, and when they refused to buy she dispersed this famous collection on which Baron von Sternberg had spent 25 years of danger and privation in penetrating Thibet in the work of purchasing the rarities. ok en Princess Elizabeth Belosselsky, one came from overseas. apt to come from the home the wearer. | has blelen ?amed ;:hlfi[ of the gen]clnrrme i | or police force of the new papal state, There are in the Orient some | 3% PG R€ GOV O o Gutor o? | tolic Delegation in Biltmore street, and | has hundreds of friends in the city, | with many of whom he exchanges ghmtmu greetings and corresponds at mes.
