6 Tales of Well SO CIETY. Known Folk In Social and Official Life Intcresting Notes of Passing Events and Sketches . Wide Range Review ‘BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Mr. David Sinton Ingalls, the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Acronautics, is the youngest of the in- teresting new group of such officials, sometimes called “the little cabine and he and Mrs. Ingalls have settled into a comfortable circle of friends and relatives. Several Washingtonians jour: neyed to Cleveland last month to tend the wedding of Miss Anne T Irigalls, the Assistant Secretary’s sister, and Mr. Rupert Warburton of London. Mr. Warburton is a member of the well known family of Philadelphia, but he has made a distinguished success of finance in the British capital and has taken his bride to a handsome home in Belgravia. For many years the Ingalls and Taft families have been closely affiliated by ties of kinship and friend- ship, and with the most illustrious member of the Tafts in residence. Mr. and Mrs. David Ingalls have found the social stage well set for their enjoy- ment. Mrs. Ingalls was Miss Louise Harkness, daughter of the Standard Oil financier. The home of these new- comers will be in keeping with their well established conservative taste and their hospitable inclinations. When the Assistant Secretary of Aeronautics was in the Ohio Legislature he was called the flying legislator because he com- muted several times a week from Co- lumbus to his home on the lake front of Cleveland. In those days owning a private flying ship was rather unusual. Mr. Ingails is as enthusiastic an aide as the Secretary of the Navy could wish to carry to success and comple- tion the five-year naval program agreed upon during the Jast session of Congress. T Mary Garden, who now is on tour with the Chicago Civic Opera, is so associated in the public mind with that Lake City that everywhere she travels in this country or abroad she is accepted as its adopted daughter. But the diva warmly denles that and asseri: that nothing would ever'make her rc- nounce her allegiance to the lovely| Scotch city of Aberdeen, where, say the | critics, the purest English in the world is spoken. Miss Garden has acknowl-| edged that she at one time considered | taking out papers and becoming & daughter of the city which has taken | her to its heart’ and laid the foundation | of _her substantial fortune. But before catrying these intentions into effect she invariably visited her natal home' and| there experienced a change of heart.| Aberdeen she calls the city of her soul. ‘When she wants colorful experience and a shading of ldV%flture she occupies her villa lthnm.euuln m gh{aels md counsel and sometimes inc| = cor to victims of the gaming table. .But Chicago is her inspiration and profes- | sional home and nothing more delights | this songstress than for its papers to allude to her as “Our Mary.” * ok x x Tord Melchett, formerly Sir Alfred Mond, whose name is so well known in international finance in_every part of the world, visits New York so often that his coming attracts only mild at- tention. But on his visit in Midsummer he proposes to see other parts of the States, especially the cities where fa- mous collections of pictures may be ad- mired. The son of that Dr. Ludwig Mond whose gift of the famous Mond collection of canvases to the British na- tion was so eulogized & quarter of a century ago, Lord Melchett was reared in- the atmosphere of art, and his chief diversion is to look at pictures. Ac< cording to British estimate no one will hold a higher place than he when the first 30 years of the twentieth century are recorded as to industrial progress, and he is one of those who firmly be- lieved in the epigram: “To electricity will go the nineteenth century, but to chemisiry the twentieth.” He is known as “Ikey” to thousands through his stupendous efforts in behalf of the fu- sion of the Imperial Chemical Indus- tries and the Chase Securities Corpora- tion of New York City. An art con- noisseur, his praise of an unknown ar- tist is his fame and fortune, and he makes it a point to see all the exhibits of young yninmsg( * * Mrs, Rebecca A. D.

He lost his fortune and. was compelied to lease his famous palace to the then Ambassador from the United States, William F. Draper, and to have the historic furnishings dispersed by publi: sale to his creditors. Nearly all of the forune has been re- trieved and most of the fine tapestries and canvases have been repurchased | and now occupy_their former position in the Palais Boncompagni. Prince | Francesco has three sons and the | youngest is to be educated in this country. | s Miss Lettice Ward, daughter of the Hon. Robert and Lady Mary Ward of Forfarshire, Scotland, is crowned with | laurels which few belles and buds in| | this part of the world ever strive to| obtain. She has been awarded the distinction of catching the largest | salmon which came out of far-famed Forfarshire waters during the past sea- son, and in fact has broken the record for a single cateh by a woman. This illustrious fish weighed 64 pounds and | of course the slender, young maid had to ask aid in landing it. Salmon fishing | claims many adherents in royal ranks, for instance, the Princess Royal, Duch- ess of Fife and eldest sister of King George, spent all the past Autumn fish- ing for salmon, and both her daughters, | Princess Arthur of Connaught and Lady Maude Carnegie, are her ardent com- | | panions. Queen Mary of Britain likes | fish, but her royal spouse was never { a disciple of Sir Izaak Walton, so in | recent years she has not followed this preference. The Duke of Gloucester | is the fisherman in the family circle of | the King and he is a member of nearly | every organized piscatorial club in the United Kingdom. "In rotation. he ac- cents invitations to fish in their waters. T written many delightful sketches hing in alien lands, those of his| ish Columbian experience being of special interest. * ok kK Mr. Stanley Baldwin's sons are much in the limelight these days, the elder, Mr. Oliver Ridsdale Baldwin, having just won the Socialist nomination to parliament for Worcestershire, a cross section of the English midiands which lies right on the edge of the constitu- ency which the British premier had represented in the Commons for more than 20, years as a Conservative. The younger Baldwin. Stanley, jr, has proved his talents in several other capacities, first by writing for- cible, mich quoted political ar- ticles ‘for the radical press, then by essays on political economy, and more lately as a novelist. Nevertheless as he is among the handsomest young men in the thick of public affairs, his fine appearance and engaging manners are given as his chief asset in a borough where women predominate. The younger son of the premier clings to the family traditfop and is his father’s right-hand man about Downing street- The premier and his wife have yet to visit this country in & lelsurely way, but the younger men have often made the journey, and Mr. Oliver Baldwin was| for a time on a New York newspaper. ALEXANDRIA SOCIETY ‘The May meeting .of Mount Verpon Chapter. Daughters of the American | Revolution, was held Friday afternoon, | May 10. at the home of Mrs. John Taylor Stephenson. Mrs. D. Mauchlin Niven, who has been regent of the chapter for the past 10 years, retired from office and Mrs. Charles Alexander Swann Sinclair was elected regent. Mrs. Niven was elected historian. The other officers selected were Mrs. Henry Starr Wattles, vice regent; Mrs. John Morgan Johnson, recording secretary: Mrs. Gardner Lloyd Boothe, second corresponding secretary; Mrs. Miller Reese, treasurer; Mrs. Stephenson, registrar, and Mrs. Eleanor-S. Wash- ington Howard, chaplain. Mr. Frederick Eastman has returned to the Episcopal Theological Seminary after a visit to Mr. and Mrs. V. C.

Bowman and ner of Fifth avenue and Thirty-ninth | Julian T. Bowman, jr. are at home street, and has retained every inch of | from a visit to Mrs. Bowman's mother, the large back grounds, with a massive | Mrs, D. G. Richards in Culpeper, ac- brick wall screening it from the alley and with a wide iron gate always se- | curely locked. Tall offices and business | houses surround the Wendel mansion | and keep out both air and sunshine, but_ the venerable owner declines to part with her home, although- recently it is reported that $3,000,000 had been of- fered for the 50 feet frontage on the alley. Mrs. Swope has a home in West- chester and comes to New York on'oc- | casion to visit her sister. She attends the theater and patronizes the opera, | but Miss Wendel has never set foot in | any place of amusement. As their are | no direct heirs and the property is absolutely in the name of the lasj pos- sessors, it will no doubt be devised to charity. A member of a younger | branch of the Wendel family, Miss Emily Wendel, three years ago married | the Earl of Carnarvon, son of the fa- | mous Egyptologist who participated in | the finding of King Tut’s Tomb and was presumed to have died of the curse at- | tending his tampering with it. The | Countess of Carnarvon has, however, | little hope of receiving the fortune of her distant_ relatives. She brought a handsome dower to her husband, the share given in the final disposal of the Jacob Wendel fortune made in real estate holdings before 1850. * %% i Commodore Elbridge \T. Gerry's fine mansion on Fifth avenue is the last to join the number demolished in the | past 10 years—those of the Astors, the | elder Cornelius Vanderbilts, the Phipps Huntington and William A. Clark. | Commodore Gerry of the famous Yacht Club had his home cesigned and built by the celebrated Richard Hunt, whose works have been venerated in New York as an older generation did those of Christopher Wren in London, or, in ‘Washington, the homes built by Willlam ‘Thornton, architect of the United States Capitol. The Metropolitan Club, | adjacent to the Gerry home, now re- mains the only Hunt memorial in th neighborhood. The parents of the for mer Senator from - Rhode Island, Mr. | Peter Goelet Gerry, had, however, | placed the mansion in the permanent records of New York City's fashionable | life and their entertainments having all | the restraint and dignity of an era which has passed, will become part of | its best Gotham tradition. * %k * Prince Francesco Antonio Boncom- pagni-Ludovisi, the recently selected governor of Rome, is one of the most | vouthful occupants of this historic office and has an interesting family. His oldest child, Princess Laura, is just 18 and was presented at court this month. Princess Boncompagni-Ludo- visi is a member of a patrician house of Rome, and was the Marchesas Pinctte-Castelletti and had a notable social experience before assuming the high post of official hostess of the Eternal City. The Boncompagni-Ludo- family, whose splendid palace now 18 the residence of Prince Francesco, came to Rome from Bologna in the thirteenth century.

The Cosmopolite Mourning Parties of Ameri- cans Gay Spots in Paris Life, Though Gloom- ily Arranged. BY ROSE PATTERSO! Staff Correspondent of The Star North American ~Newspaper PARIS, May 9.—America is making a large contribution toward the city's amusement just now. There are the mourning parties, for example, which are the sensation of the moment. They constitute one of the modes of expression of a little group of Ameri- who have de- cided that it is dreadful to reach the age of 40; their present plans are to cross the Styx—to wit; to kill them- selves—when they are so far advanced into decrepitude beyvond the fullness and the joy of life.. But they rather suspect that those they leave behind to continue the trivial round and the common task may not mourn their loss as they them- selves would wish it to be mourned, so they are doing it themselves, in ad- vance! ‘They” dress in black, wear a black iris and write their letters on notepaper which is black-edged in the deepest continental fashion. But the parties, though appropriately set in the gloom- igst surroundings, are the greatest fun. mourning party is a real good time. American Couple Visit. ‘Then there is the elderly American couple who “do Paris” night after night at the Theater du Gymnase. So ttached are they to M. Henry Bern- tein’s play, “Melo.” that they are at- tending every performance, and how long they. may remain in Paris no one can tell. They do not sit in the auditorium— they dine upon the stage. They do not enjoy their food and they never dining and “doing Paris” like any- thing. Why they do not get on and do a little more of it than M. Bern- stein’s play is not because they are paid artists, nor yet because they are taking part in the play from of it. It is because they are made of wax! But they are so very real for all that that the restaurant scene would not be the restaurant scene with- out them. 5 Miss Jenny Dolly proposes starting a Permanent Wave $3§.

She does | not say whether she will sell lockets to | contain portraits of the wearer's eyes, | which are now the vogue: if she does| we may expect the love-lorn Parisian | swain to address his lady thus: You often drop your eyes, my love, And 50 I do not think it folly If you preserve their likeness in A locket from the Maison Dolly. Le Touquet: Jeweled Backbones. | The fashion of bejeweling the spine, | the wearing of diamond pendents and | | buckles at the back instead of the front, | | which began in the Casino, is having | | such a vogue that if the Paris eye- | | locket idea spreads the ladies at Le Touquet will be wearing their eyes at least in their backs if not in the back of their heads! | And amid these glittering backbones the barmen and the cocktail-shakers | are earning small fortunes. One young | | French barman admits that in the “high season,” although he gets only | two or three hours sleep in the 24, he | | earns as much as $300 or so a day in tips, and many a man is shaking up | “angels’ kisses” for people who will die | poorer than himself. The experts say | that women cannot mix cocktails, but | | Lady Hillingdon's friends insist she is | ‘;\n b‘match for the best professional | xers. | The Riviera: the Villa Rosemary. Sir John and Lady Ward are re- | claiming a wild bit of hillside belgw | their lovely house, the Villa Rosemary, | and turning it into a rock garden. The Villa Rosemary’s garden is already one of the prettiest sights of the Riviera; | it is a blaze of tulips, scented stocks and daffodils. el Another daffodil paradise is the little | wood, not far off, which nature, un- ! aided, has carpeted with these golden | blooms, mingled with scarlet anemones, Jonquils and white waxen narcissi. The party-givers are finding 1t hard to out-do the wonderful enwfulnment recently provided by Willlam Burton at his house, Mougins, at Cannes. His in~ vitations were issued on Roman parch- ment, and the guests were instructed to appear as a former “shade” of them- selves in some character in history be- fore the Christian era. Mr. Burton himself represented Nero. the Laverys came as a Venetian Doge and Donna, and other guests flew from | London to present many more dis- tinguished shades ‘at the party. The | Aga Kahn, usually the simplest of men, made a profound impression as one of his ancestors, in black robes lined with scarlet silk and decked with diamonds and pearls—a thrilling spectacle of Oriental splendor. Supper was served in 2 huge cave in the garden. EFome: Opening Tombs of Scipios. After 15 centuries of neglect, the | femous tombs of the Scipios, on the | Breat Appian Way, are to be opened to the public. Built by Appius Claudius | Caecus 312 years before Christ, these tombs were for five centuries the burial | place of the noblest Romans. | Cicero and Livy both mentioned the | Scipio tomb, giving its exact position, | and the poet Ennius celebrated it in his | verses. 1In the days of the Roman re- public it was regarded as one of the most magnificent of burial places. Lucius Scipio Barbatus was the first | Scipio buried there, in 259 B. C. He was followed by many others, until the line became merged in that of the Cor- nelian family. Free access will be given to the pub- lic to the undergroynd galleries and | crypts by the principal entrance on the Via Appia; this entrance also had been long concealed. Palermo: A Siecilian Ball. This Sicilian town promises to be- come a popular English resort, and many famous visitors have determined to come here again next season., As a change from the conventional on the | Riviera, Villa Igeia, on the outskirts of the town, is perfect. There is a luxury hotel with wonderful garden, rock-bath- ing equal to that at Antibes, and giving directly on to the sea as few Riviera :]otels do. There ‘is endless country, 00. Sir Charles and Lady Frederick have been among the visitors, also Lord Fairhaven, and the social season ended with the Countess D'Assaro’s ball. In a palace of superb beauty, with price- less tapestries and embroideries on the walls, the guests went back—so far as their dresses were concerned—to 1860: many had their own grandmothers’ crinolines to maneuver through the polka, mazurka and waltz. The men wore superb uniforms, the Comte de Beaumont, for example, being arraved in a black tail-coat made of sequins, and having silvered his hair.

The first preference among | the young folk generally is for books | of adventure, which they revel in and devour from the ages of 8 to 11; from 11 to 14 they read religious works, and | from 14 to 17. comics.

They have gone and put | “Charley’s Aunt” into short skirts and | bobbed her halr! The French some time ago called the play “Charley’'s Godmother,” but then she is not the popular institution in France that she is in England, and the | same excuse must be made in part for the Germans, who have modernized the play entirely. It is great fun and a most brilliant | “rejuvenation.” Some.one has remem- | bered that Brazil is the place where not | only the nuts but also the tangos come trom. One of the best of the Berlin | dance orchestras have been dressed up as Charley’s fellow students to play gay tunes in his rooms. Curt Bois, an extremely clever young | actor, can snow the feminine part of his | audience a thing or two in feminine | wiles when he is playing the aunt, and plenty of he-man stuff when he is him- | self again. The whole producton is so | | good that Berlin’s original “Charley's | highly successful food sale this morn- Aunt,* a fat comedian who plays the part every Christmas, has expressed his admiration for it in spite of himself. | Igeciras: Sunny Spot in Spain.
