Class Cigars as a } home, at least in the temporary sense What Senor Espil plans as his future activities remains problematic, but it is surmised he will return in due time to Buenos Aires and take a hand in politics. Senor Marlano de Amoedo, formerly counselor of the Spanish Em- bassy, is another former Washingtor diplomat who astonished his friends by retiring from the service of his country and who is passing a long-deferred holiday in the metropolitan city, active in the many Spanish cultural centers and occasionally passing a week end in Newport, in the home of Senor Don Juan de Riano, his former chief. It understood, however, that Senor Amoedo has asked for an extended leave of absence and that he will ulti- mately return to the foreign service of Spain, but it is not probable that he | will sérve again in Washington. | - | Mr. Franklin Adams, counselor of the | channel must the three pairs of eyes| pan-American Union, and Mrs. Adams THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, Announce Engagemen | and a large assemblage of his guests.

On the roster of this as clation may be found the names of those intrepid explorers and travelers who are keeping pace with their mascu- line kindred in adding to the knowl- edge which the world seeks of its hidden places. According to Mrs. Adams’ idea in founding the society, it is to become international in scope. In Spain there are three members, all of whom are co- operating heartily in all the larger | projects. There are 40 members in the active list, all being women who ha done important work in exploring and entifically presenting their discove ics.

The major has a passion for toy railroads and owns a system which is unique perhaps in the world. He declares that he has gotten valuable ideas of speed in the | motor car from the pace which he can | command with the miniature locomo- | tive. Now he takes joy in assembling coach mail cars and sleeping cars in place on his track. He can pass the most enjoyable day with his experi- ments, and sometimes he gives an ex- hibition for the boys of his neighbor- hood. ~ Although now holding the world’s champlonship for automobile racing, Maj. Segrave never attempted to acquire speed in the motor car until two years after the armistice. He served as a gunner throughout the war, and then took up aviation only to drop this, and after experimenting with his toy railroads with the idea of increas- ing speed without danger, he switched to motor racing. He was born in New York City of British parents. TEE Ambassador Paul Claudel’s visit to the Assumption College, in Worcester, Mass., conducted by the Augustinians of the Assumption, recalls the diplo- mat's vigorous defense of these edu- cators when, in 1900, .they were a cused of royalist tendencies and ban- ished from the Prench republic. = As teachers of the classics, M. Claudel al- ways had admired them and he wrote a burning pamphlet about the injustice of depriving France of such educators at the very time when classicism needed to be sustained against the elective system established everywhere, and threatening its very existence. But M. Claudel was not successful, and it was because of failing to retain their hold in the mother country. that the As- sumptionists scattered all over the world and in 1904 began their work in the Massachusetts. city. Critics regard this tiny educational institution, which honored the French Ambassador by a special fete, with special admiration. It could not bestow a higher degree than B. A. and this was not considered worthy to offer to so famed an am- bassatior. But the diplomat spent a de- lightful half day in the college and examined with interest the old text books familiar to him in his youth— Homer in the purest form, and the Greek of Plato, Aristole and the im- mortal dramatist and Latin and French derived from as lofty sources as the Greek. In 1908 James Bryce, then| ambassador from Great Britain, on a | visit to Worcester was the guest of| this young school of the classics. Like | M. Claudel, he jeared that real cul- ture was passing from the earth when the most renownea seats of learning were regarding Greek and Latin as op- | tional and not a necessary prelude to| a sound education. * ok ok * Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, who can at times dip his pen in vitriol and flay his enemies, is not exerting him- self much to answer the critics of his style of architecture shown in the new dormitoriesof Columbia _University. | New York City denizens, although lack- | ing an authorative commission of the fine arts such as Washington possesses, | are prone to take up the cudgels against something which offends the | general ideal. The eminent archi-| tects McKim, Meade & White, who| restored the White House in 1902 and| built the eastern and western exten sions, finished Columbia University. | and the cry went forth that it looked| like a factory, and this chorus of eriti- | cism has been mounting ever since.| Columbia, however. its president points out. is a mammoth institution and is| still growing.
