SOCIETY 1In Social and Official Life Secretary Davis, Senatorial Nominee in Pennsyl- vania, Likely to Transfer Official Residence From Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. {Tales of Well Known Folk BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The Secretary of Labor, Mr. James J.

The journey of the prin- most ceremoniously ar- ranged, and there will no doubt be many handsome eligibles in the train of attendants, and perhaps the long- headed burghers have something in the back of their minds, just as important as is the visit to Java and those spice islands which fill so many pages of his- tory and adventure.

It was a rainy day, and the small town, which i immortalized because of the event men- tioned, is close enough to L(mdonl for ast- persuasions of his gifted prospective _visitors to make moment decision to try their luck an other day. Contrary to the announced was the curtain raiser of the festival and not “Hamlet.” Sir Archibald is experiencing difficulty in getting royalty to attend the plays schedule, “Othello” for extremes of weather, something which Mrs. William | tll the late hillips, wife of the former Minister to Ottawa, who has resigned from the for- elgn 1t is something of a co- incidence that as Col. MacNider goes T from the Dominion, Mr. Vincent Massie, y: Mr. Massie was the first Minister and has been serving in Washington for a little more than three years. His successor will find one of the most stately foreign establishments at the capital awaiting launched at Bristol. Bhe staged the first of three functions of the same order. The same afternoon Mrs. Edwin mother of Landon Ketcham prin backer of the Whirl- wind, christened this stanch ship at Neponset, Mass. Designed by the illus- trious creator of speedy yachts, Mr. Prancis Herreshoff, many hopes are pinned on the graceful Whirlwind, which tugs at her mooring off Squan- tum Island. Her owner, Mr. Thorne, a banker of Manhattan, pronounces her truly cosmopolitan, since her ateel came from Pennsylvania, her pine deck and spruce mast from Washington, her black walnut trimmings from Central ; | Indiana and the mahogany from Brazil. The Whirlwind has a long keel and a canoelike overhanging bow and is a dis- tinet type from the other defenders. Mr. John Pierpont Morgan is the chief backer of Weetamoe, and his small granddaughter, Jane Nichols, swung the bottle when this yacht left its dock at Bristol, It also is the product of Mr. Herreshoff, but is small and with a simple sort of keel. The Yankee, fourth of the defenders, is owned and backed by a Boston syndicate, of whom the principal is Mr. Prank Paine, a friend but no relation of the Assistant Secre- tary of War, Mr. Prederick Huff Payne. Like the Whirlwind, the Yankee was built at Neponset, and the Bay State yachtsmen pin their hopes on these two entries. * % k¥ ‘The Hungarian Minister and Countess Szechenyl will be among the several diplomats who will spend the heated term in Newport, a custom followed ever since the former came from Buda- pest to represent the ancient kingdom of the Magyars. The Minister from the Netherlands is another who has found Summer most delightful in that queen of resorts. The Minister from Rumania is following the example set by former envoys, Prince Bibesco and M. Cret- ziano, and will pass what vacation he may have in the Pinard cottage. The Minister from Greece and Mme. Simo- nopolus will return to their favorite haunt in the same resort. But there will be few Summer quarters for em- bassies this year, and this despite the fact that all tariff troubles will be over before the end of June, when the hegira usually is staged. For one reason or another, Ambassadors will remain in or near Washington. The Mexican em- bassy is cool and its residential por- the dean of the corps and Mrs. Tellez. who have recently returned from an extensive sojourn in Mexico, will make only short motor trips during the Sum- mer. The British Ambassador and Lady Lindsay will be in Washington un- Autuman, when they hope to take a short vacation on Long Island. The French Ambassador and his fam- ily have sailed for the other side, and the TItalian Ambassador soon will da likewise. The Chileans have gone to Santiago, and the Brazilian expects to visit Rio during the Summer. The Spanish Ambassador has made no plans and except for brief visits made by motor anticipates spending the Sum- mer in Washington. * K K % 'of Mme. Axsel Wich- | . The most recently appointed associate justice of the Supreme Court, Owen J. Roberts, is the youngest member of the august tribunal in years as well as service, but is a full decade older than Judge John Johnstone Parker, who failed confirmation. The South Caro- lina jurist is just 44, but since he did not enter the Supreme Court its young- est member remains its first Chief Justice, John Jay, who also was 44 when President Washington honored him. All the original members of the Supreme Court were men in the forties or fifties, three besides Jay being in the forties. Robert H. Harrison of Mary- land was 44, James Wilson of Pennsyl- vania, & signer of the Declaration, was 45, and James Iredell of North Caro- lina was 49. No other later personnel of the court has been so youthful, as for instance, the present membership of nine has but two who are still less than 60. Judge Stone who is 57, and the latest appointee, who is 55. Justice Roberts, however, is older than several of his colleagues when they took their seats. The present Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes was appointed as as- sociate in the court in 1910 when he was 48, Justice Van Devanter was 51 when he assumed office in the same year, and Justice McReynolds was 51 in 1914, when President Wilson honored him. Of the total number of jurists 77 who have filled the S8upreme Court since 1789, when Washington's five began their labors, the average age of the 77 has been between 50 and 65. Only one, Bushrod Washington. was less than 40. Few were in the forties and just as few have been appointed after the candidate was aproaching the allotted years of man, 70 years.

The Duke and Duchess of Vendome who are prominent in the Bourbon circle of Paris are about to take up residencé in their splendid chateau, St. Michel at Cannes, where they will remain until the Autumn. This chateau is one of the famous spots on the Riviera and is interesting to citizens from this coun- try because it is located on somre splendid hills known as the Californias. * o x X 1t will be a safe guess that shall place Senator and Mrs. Robinson after the adjournment of Congress in their own pretty home in the outskirts of Little Rock and keep them there until time comes to depart for Washington again. While both the leader of the minority and his wife praise London and express enjoyment of their. sojourn there, it was too long drawn out and neither could fill the time of waiting as pleas- antly or as comfortably as they could in their familiar surroundings. Neither has been noted as enthusiastic attend- ants of social functions, and while they accepted all that was their allotted part and took part in all the general enter- taining, there were lapses in the sched- ule, but too short to permit travel from the British metropolls. The Senator can now claim a complete knowledge of the British museum, where he read an- ceasingly, and Mrs. Robinson and the other ladles of the delegation from this side of the world gave the impression to the Britons of being very studious, although nearly all feminine visitors to the great library was on the hunt for the home papers. The runni mate of the Democratic nominee in 1928 is & son of Nimrod. Hunting and the care of the spacious grounds about his home make up his list of fads. While duck season is months off yet, the Senator will get down his firearms and have them ready for the open weeks. He can kill enough ducks in one after- noon to provide all his friends, and he and Mrs. Robinson have the agreeable habit of expressing ducks in cold storage to poor city dwellers who have no opportunity to hunt. * o % * M. Tardieu, so well known in Wash- ington when he was French high com- missioner during the participation of this republic in the World War, knows the psychology of Uncle Bam's children so well that as premier of France he is about to take far-reaching measures to alleviate tourist grievances. He has appointed a special commission to study the constant stream of complaints from individuals and from tourist agencies which pour in from this side of the water. Indeed, the tendency of trav- elers to avoid France and confine their rre nations to Germany, Switzerland, he utonic and Scandinavian coun- tries, Belgium, the Netherlands and the British Isles, is causing consternation. Among the causes of frritation the land- ing tax is a slight matter compared to the special assessments made in hotels, rendered in such a bewilderin way that the average person canno comprehend it at all. Along the Cote d'Azur, for instance, the French gov- ernment levies sums because the hotels are de luxe, with the usual tax ren- dered against travelers and then various municipalities have their stipend and there is, of course, the 10 per cent for service, all of which doubles the daily cost at & hotel. Mr, Tardleu is abol- ishing several of these assessments and making it incumbent on the suave hotel managers to add the amount of taxes possible. Sweeping changes have been ordered in Paris and a certain respon- sibility of hotels in keeping quarters engaged by wire or letter. — Count de la Bassetieri Guest of Woman's, Party |20 Count Louis de la Bassetieri and his cousin, Miss Cornelia Bristoe of Balti- more, will be guest of honor of the Na- tional Woman's Party next Sunday aft- ernoon from 4 to 6 o'clock in the charming garden of the new head- quarters, 144 B street northeast. The count, who, with his cousin, is a_direct descendant of the famous Charles Carroll of Carroliton, signer of the Declaration of Independence, has come to this country from his home in Paris to restore the old Carroll mansion to its former grandeur.

PARIS, May 31.—Premier Andre Tar- dieu tomorrow at Dijon will deliver the important political address which the people of the republic expect at least once a year, before Parliament assem- bles, from their prime minister. The final outline of the address has been approved unanimously by the cabinet. The premier himself has said the speech will be filled “with good humor and optimism.” M. Tardieu will deal with the do- mestic and foreign problems and poli- cies which will form the work of the coming Parliament. He will discuss a large program for economic and social improvements. There is_little doubt in the public mind that he will reply to recent utter- ances of Premier Mussolini of Italy, and the tenor of his address is expected to be friendly. Semi-official observers today said the reply would be made with “calm and good temper.” Political leaders and newspapers have described the Italian dictator'’s recent speeches as ‘“belli- PALESTINE PRISONERS RENEW HUNGER STRIKE Red Aid Society Committee Writes Chancellor Government Prom- isep Were Not Kept.

The committee declared the prisoners resumed the hunger strike, suspended a fortnight ago after it had been kept ten days, when omises made by the government were not fulfilled. Dr. Judah L.
