Mr. Ogden Hammond, Ambassador in a quiet residential section somewhat | removed from the strident, unceasing | noises which mar the comfort. of the| visitor to the Spanish capital. But | while Mr. Hammond obtained the most | desirable residence then to be leased | and this through the active intereven- tion of the King, neither he nor any n(' his staff lives as they would in Paris, Berlin or even in the smaller capitals of Europe like Brussels. | The Hague or Copenhagen. Spanish | palaces may be leased almost without | number but their size and the difficulty | of keeping them even approximately | warm during the long. bleak Winter | make citizens of this republic reluctant | to set up their household good in such | dwellings.

Primo de Rivera. the Prime Minister | of Spain, enjoys the distinction of being | the only member of his exalted class who uses a fan and that with all the | grace and languor of a belle in Seville. Those close to the rugged warrior say | that he much prefers life in the saddle | 1o the stifiing atmosphere of courts and | soclal functions in general and that only by means of an active fan is he | able to withstand the heat.

But never without his fan and the privilege to withdraw at times to | the fresh air and regather oxygen | enough to see him through the ordeal. | * o ox % ‘Washington Irving just 100 vears ago fourneyed down from Madrid where he ‘held a semi-official position in the lega- tion of the western republic to Granada where he began those studies of the Alhambra. which have since focused the eves of the world on that romantic mountain stronghold. A hazy sort of commemoration is in progress at the Moorish palace. although for the coun- try fellow of the author it takes the unhappy aspect of his being charged five pesetas to visit the rooms which | Irving used. whereas in ordinary times | they may be examined for two. Flowers | adorn the table where the genial Amer- | iean wrote and his photograph with his | signature greets the visitor from the mantel. The natives call the author “Washington” and seemingly believe him to have been the founder of the great western republic. In 1842, Irving, thanks to the interest of Daniel Web- ster. then Secretary of State. returned to Spain as Minister and during his | three years' sojourn, he passed several months in Summer at the Alhambra and it was at this time that he gathered the material for the Life of Columbus, partly in Granada and partly from the Archives of the Indios in Seville.

The upper gardens have all been opened and the full tor- rent of water set free for the grand celebrations of Corpus Christi has played all through June and July. From all directions have English-speaking tourists journeyed to Granada, all armed with the books of Washington Irving on Spain and all intent on find- | ing the massive gate.leading from pri- vate entrance of the Summer palace to the upper flower plots. An Arabic inscription on this gate now bearing the arms of Castile Leon and Aragon has been translated by Irving, “Enjoy here the three sweetest sounds this side of Paradise, the music of falling water, the song of the nightingale and the voice of the beloved woman.” As it did 100 years ago when the sage of Sunny- side wrote his first description of this Jovely spot, the water rushes down the balustrades of the grand stairway making them perhaps the most attrac- tive of their kind in the world and the nightingale sings all day in the dense woods of ilex trees which surround the park. The Moors from the arid stretches of North Africa loved the water so intensely that they used it with much profusion that even today the visitor is awed by the glory of the fountains, the size of the pools and, most of all, the runlets which make musical bannisters on the long stately flight of sulrs‘ln.ch: t;lder garden.

Just before leaving Geneva Dr. and Mrs. Mende announced the engagement of their daughter to Mr. Hans Kuhl of Zurich and after the motor trip Mrs. and Miss Mende will proceed to Paris in the interests of the trousseau. cur in September.

A cold. rainy June interfered with the pleasure of the vast throngs. but not with the sporting events, this sort of weather. like that of Washington at in- auguration time, being proverbially of- fered. Mr. A. K. Macomber, who has sometimes sent horses to the Washing- ton show. has a large stable in Nor- mandy and is a regular claimant for honors at the Grand Prix. Chantilly, called the Prench Newmarket or the American Belmont Park, is a quaint old royal town with a splendid eques- trian ‘setting once patronized by the Bourbon kings and with magnificent forests surrounding it and hotels and cafes not surpassed in Paris. and for a half century it has been the scene of the great races of late June. those in England being confined to May. Seme 50.000 foreign visitors, one-half Ameri- cans, were living about Chantilly all through June. Mr. J. Plerpont Morgan and his associates in the financial conference, held recently in Paris, were generous contributors to the student social cen- ter in the Latin quarter of Paris. This | picturesque serfes of studios has cele- brated its fortieth birthday anniversary within the past month and it is proudly pointed out that the center, owing its origin to homesick students from the gether and exchange views, son attract- ed British and Canadians in large num- bers so that now the center may not be deemed more than half composed of the citizens of the republic. Mme. Jacques Balsan, former Duchess of Marl- borough, has always shown a deep in- terest in the center and learning that a new subscription was being made she followed Mr. Morgan, Mr. Lamont and Mr. Owen Young with a $10,000 con- tribution. Just now the center suffers heavily from increased rates in food and rent caused by the invasion of tourists, unhappily most of them Americans who think that all lurid revels must originate in this quarter. The students, a hard-working group who must think twice before spending unwisely, resent this idea of playing elown for the idle tourists and 80 deep rooted was their resentment at the constant interruptions in their studios that a movement is on hand to remove the center across the Seine to the Montparnasse section and leave Montmartre for the revelers, How- ever, & committee, composed of Col Jacques Balsan, Commodore Louis D. Beaumont and Mr. John Ridgeley Carter, have placed the student griev- ance before the prefecture of the po- lice and it is hoped that the center will not be moved from its historic site in the Latin quarter. PLAGIARISM SUIT TURNS ON AUTHOR AT HEAVY COST Rostand Is Ordered to Pay Nearly $5,000 as Court Holds Against Him. PARIS, (A).—A plagarism suit has just boomeranged around on its author, Maurice Rostand, and cost him nearly $5.000. Towll Rostrand and his mother dramatized Hans Andersen’s “The Little Girl and the Matches” and it was produced here under the title “The Match Seller” at the Opera Comique. A film company then produced a film called “The Little Match Seller.” Rostrand sued the film company and the picture was withdrawn from the theater in which it was playing. The court has just decided that the play and the movie were very much alike, but not alike enough to be plagiarism, and Rostrand has been ordered to pay $600 to the theater owner and $4.000 to the film producers, as damages.
