‘Tales of Well In Social and Official Life President Hoover Is Liste;i to Visit, at His Con- venience, Notable Fishing Club Founded 200 Years Ago. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. President Hoover, will no doubt, in the fullness of time, accept the invita- tion of many friénds and visit the oldest club devoted to piscatorial pastime to be found in the United States. This is the Pish Castle on the Delaware at Edding- ton, just above Fairmount Dam. It was founded in 1732 and probably is the oldest club of a sporting trend either in the Western World or in Great Brit- ain. It has had a continued existence for almost 200 years. Willlam Warner, Baron Warner as he was known when the proprietor, Lord De La Warr, held sway, foundad this club. It was first called the “Fishing Company of the Stste in the Schuylkill.” That meant a small portion of the present State of Delaware in Schuylkill County and Where Warner and his associates, most- ly opulent Philadelphians who liked to fish, had acquired the land. The club house, a plain frame structure with a hospitable veranda and broad glass €oor, bears above the entrance the date of its building, 1732. When the 200 years are completed, in May of 1932, there will be memorable events to record, and it is expected all the fishermen of the Na- tion will join in honoring the mother club. Naturally some wonderful his- toric treasures have been collected in the years intervening since it was found- ed. There is the wonderful Ross punch bowl, which holds nine gallons, made in Canton, China, especially for the company years before the colonists dreamed of taking up arms agalnst the mother country. The Fishers had a cherished recipe for punch brought from England and this was mixed but four times a year. It was a great oc- casion when the Ross bowl was brought down from the niche in the dining room, where it is now permanently enshrined. Gen. Washington and the Marquis de Lafayete were honorable members and their fishers’ hats are among the treas- ures of the Castle. * k% % President Cosgrave of the Irish Free State has apparently overcome his major difficulty, which is to keep the youth of the Emerald Isle at home and to interest them in the development of their own land. This past year has shown fewer natives leaving Ireland than has been recorded in a half cen- tury, and at the same time ma perous of invested heavily in the manufactories which are s ing up all over Kerry and around Dublin. Of course, the per- petual crusade goes on in behalf of the industries, the crochet lace in par- ticular, and the vogue is reviving for lingerie and Summer wraps and gowns. There are hand-woven, soft and artistic rugs made in Donegal, of dainty design and so thick and well put together that nturies they have figured in wills bequests among what is deemed endurln‘(n possessions. L i g i ¢ . | present. . | even I Known Folk all went to enjoy the Midwinter sports events in St. Moritz, where seemingly the great social world of England was gathered, with a numerous contingent from this country. Col. Henry H. Rogers and his second wife, formerly Mrs. Basil Miles, widow of the well known diplo- mat, have been in Lausanne since No- vember, with occasional visits to Paris and to the Engadine, where the Winter sports rival those of the higher Alps. Mrs. Field will come to Washington for the Spring season and it is likely she will have some interesting guests from London. She has been abroad since last Spring and this Autumn omitted even her Autumn visit to Chicago for the opening of the opera. Marshall Field, 3d, and Mrs. Field have been in Lon- don recently, but they returned to New York and as usual will pass some of the Winter in Chicago, the city so iden- tified with the source of their fortune, * ok % % ‘The Ambassador from Cuba and Se- nora Ferrara, who cannot resist spend- ing the holidays in thelr beautiful home in Havana, return promptly to Wash- ington, when that season of family re- unions is over, and resume their hos- pitable duties. Cuba and its people, as has been so often noted, follow many customs of this land and the handsome Cuban embassy in Sixteenth street shows a more cheerful aspeet after dark than do any of its neighbors. The central hall and entrance is always brightly lighted and usually softened tapers, and more dazzling ones in draw- ing and dinirg rooms, proclaim that amenities are in progress. At the French embassy curtains” are tightly drawn after dark and only a twinkle of light shows at the main entrance. The Mexi- can embassy is utterly dark, no gleam anywhere, and the same is true of the Spanish establishment close by. The Polish and Lithuanian legations might be abandoned houses, so far as any indication of occupancy is apparent after the lamplighter has ma rounds, but home s the Lithuanian, follows the -long traditions of his people and blazes a welcome to the passers in the street as well as the guest who rings the doorbell. No mansion of the city is more luminous than the White House, the great lantern on the north gmco being visible for squares. But ashington houses in general are il- luminated at least in the halls and gen- erally in the living rooms and few heavy curtains are drawn. * K ok ok T.e late Stephen Tyng Mather, be- fore his recent lamented death, had the satisfaction of seeing that national parks were not so universally considered Pplaces for Summer recreation, but.'also for wholesome, life-building Winter sports. An apostle of the open, Mr. Mather lost no oypofiufity for impress- on men engaged e exacting :fiumhwflduptheuumnnd harden ‘Winter in enervating wvailed t] the genial Persian, whose the constitution l'pendflnf of Southern places a nof . inual exe cold, bracing air would accomplish bet- ter results in two weeks than would the same number of months in soft, warm spots, no matter how appealing other aspects might be. Never has a Winter and its sports made such a heavy de- mand on the resources of such resorts as offer the usual ice exercises and camping, in zero weather as has the Those who own Summer camps’ in the Adirondacks can rent them at high figures if they desire, and such is the case all over the Northern frontier of this republic, and over into Canada.

Kimball, the expert of the United States Weather Bureau, who casts an eye over solar radiation, an exceedingly valuable subject in fore- casting, has a namesake in New York City with whom he is being constantly confused. Dr, James Henry Kimball, head of the Weather Bureau of that vast center and the real power behind the throne in the matter of transatian- tic flying. The New York Dr. Kimball, as be- comes his responsible post, is an ardent fiyer and takes his spin in the air just as often as his dutes permit. He is a graduate of four great universities and FROM VIENNA icipants, | for 40 years has studied the vagaries of the "weather all over the United States and the West Indies. A philos- opher, with all the calm that such a implies, he is utterly unmoved when interested persons dash into_his office dispute his forecast, tear their hair and protest and insist that any number of ships have reported fair weather and good indications of its continuance, and that millions will be lost if the aerial expedition does not start at once. He has no authority to stop any fool fiyer, but few with heavy financial backers refuse to follow Dr. Kimball rather than vaguely known captains at sea. “Old Doc” Kimball, though his years are still on the sunny side of 60 and his doctoring all of the terrestial physics, called meteorology. his last word on the weather is anxious- ly asked by every fiyer out of the great - aviation center. * Kk ok % Mr. John Harsen Rhoades, who is a widely known figure in Wall Street, wrote last Summer a book of whimsi- cal philosophy, with a reminiscent tinge called “Random Thoughts of a Man of Fifty.” He has recently confessed that he unburdened himself of the literary urge more for his young Joan than through any hope of attaining fame. Yet the book, replete with pointed ob- servations on life as he found it, all told with quaint and mellow humor, has been in every sense a success, and since Wall Street financiers do not write a every day, especially one which passes the gamut of the reviewers with- out being ridiculed or unduly praised, this maiden effort has been purchased in tifying numbers and figured in the Christmas stocking of all on ‘Change. Mr. Rhoades wished his daughter to know his mind during the years when his fortune was in the making and to appraise the times in which he had his beginnings, now so vastly changed. As a human document, many award “Ran- dom Thoughts” first place in the book year, not alone for its obvious literary merit, but because it deals entertain- ingly and fairly with subjects such as high finance, Wall Street and the Stock Exchange. all of which the public re- gards with intense interest, and they get's behind a curtain held back MISS MARIE Lt An interestin, with her nmfly.

The author- ities of this well known. seat of learn- ing in the former Turkish metropolitan eity have always lamented the unbal- anced meal, which the students ate with much- relish-too much meat and too many sweet things—and hoped to have Miss Roelofs impress the necessity of satads and cooked greens. It has been slow work teaching the young Turkish ‘woman to eat vegetables contentedly and not to tear a baked tomato to pieces hoping to find its center stuffed with white meat of fowl or with young lamb, for so it would be served in true | ‘Turkish fashion. Teaching such con- servative people as the natives about the golden horn to partake of new dishes has been an adventure to the former Holyoke teacher and is filled with many am; incidents. She is, however, proud of the recent Christmas holiday menus, when, after a fish soup, she had served one sort of meat, lamb or chicken and four kinds of vegetables, including a lettuce salad, instead of the ‘usual course of as many different meats as there were vegetables and dishes, in four separate courses. Sweet things in ‘Turkey are delightful and more numer- ous and inviting than in the Western ‘World, so the food specialist wisely has not attempted to improve on this part of the daily food. o Mrs. Marshall Pleld and & number of Chicago friends are passing the Winter in Lausanne, that lovely Swiss city, which lies directly across the blue waters of Lake Geneva from the capital of the Covenant of Nations.
