10 ¢ Tales of Well Known Folk - In Social and_Official Life Ambassador of Peru, Scheduled to Become Dean of Diplomatic Corps, Resigns—Will Take Long Vacation. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The resignation of Senor Hernan Velarde, Ambassador from Peru, al- though totally unannounced, was not surprising to those who knew this cul- tured though reticent diplomat. A scholar and a poet, the retiring states- man found abundant time to pursue his historical studies and his essays for leading periodicals of Latin America, but he saw no continuance of this pleasant scheme of things should be succeeded to the honors of Sir Esme Howard as dean of Washington's com- lex diplomatic corps. Of studious :lblu the social side of his exalted post possessed no attraction. Senora Velarde has long resided with a mar- ried daughter in Paris, immensely in- terested in a group of grandchildren, and the Ambassador has always spent his vacations, when not compelled by | public affairs to go to Lima, in this charming family environment. He in- tends to take a lengthy vacation in the French capital, no doubt to be spent chiefly in the famous Biblioteque Na- tional, busy with an immense pile of historical references which have been awaiting his leisune for verification. He has not retired' from the Foreign. Service, but will take a prolonged leave of absence to attend to pressing per- sonal matters. So Peru loses its first opportunity to have its representative: serve as dean of ther corps and unless there is a change not.now contemplated. that honor will go to the Mexican Am- the Autumn in Dresden and enjoying a few weeks of rest at the hiliside Kurheim of Dr. Laumann. A more delightful spot is not imaginable for those who seek fepose, and there is a choice of charming cottages where they may look over the Saxon capital and beyond into the purple mountains, and where they may remain seated on their verandas all day or join in the pedes- trian exploits, or even take a spin in the air to some mountain peak where a concert has been staged by local talent. La Ribblesdale has spent several mon in this resort and she was recently joined by her daughter, Princess Obolensky. Lord Dawson of Penn, who has piloted the British monarch safely into health, is, with Lady Dawson, a devotee of the golf course of Weisser Hirsh, the correct name of this lovely suburb of the Saxon city. Mr. and Mrs. Butler Ames go to Weisser Hirsh as regularly as the leaves turn gold and crimson, and at about the same time each year. In Dresden grand and light opera is a continual performance, and with excel- lent concerts several times a week, so that the music lover as well as the health seeker finds this part of the world attractive when schedules at Bay- reuth and Munich are ended. * x % % The late Queen of Hawal.

C, NOVEMBER 24 intrepid invasion of the isolated parts of China in pursuit of lovely blooms unknown in the rest of the world, is the director of the Arnold Arboretum in Boston. He has persuaded all those who delight in a gorgeous display of early Spring flowers to plant that regal lily of China which surpasses the better known Hlium of Japan. Mr. Wilson had the misfortune to break his thigh in the first bulbs which created sucl when they bloomed in the arboretum a few years ago and he still has a painful limp. But he con- siders this injury well won in such a cause, for he saw tens of thousands of these glorious blooms in and around Boston and thrice that number in the Berkshires. Mrs. Bayard Thayer planted Seeds so generously that she has literal- ly millions of baby bulbs maturing in her hothouses. Few lilies or any other kind of bulb- make much head- way from seed ang that the regal lil; of China has this admirable trait makes all advocates of many lilies in the garden forever Mr. Wilson's debtors. Besides Mrs. Thayer, all the gardeners of Lancaster, Mass., a spot noted for | beautiful flowers, have planted tens of | thousands of the lilies and it will attract pilgrims next Spring as Wash- ington does in cherry blossom time. @isumene st Eild Reorganizafion Meedng Last Thursday, at a very delightful tea given at the home of Mrs..
