JUNE 8, 1930—PART THREE. THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C ‘Tales of Well Known Folk ‘ In Social and Official Life Former President and Developing Natural Newest New England Home. BY MARGARET B. DOWN! News comes from the Beeches, the | handsome new home into which the former President and Mrs. Coolidge moved recently, that, like Ferdinand and Isabella, the owners of this beau- | tiful place have divided the realm. Mr. Coolidge will have an eve on the lovely | trees and, as he is addicted to sawing wood, literally as well as symbolically, he will get to work on any limb which appears to crave his services, and also will consult experts about cutting, cer- | tain superfiuous growth along the drive | and in the grove. Mrs. Coolidge loves flowers and she will gather all that were called after her husband and her- self during their years in the White House. Of course, all the specimens she admired were removed from the Massasoit street house and some from | the Coolidge property in Vermont. ( Spring flowers also were the delight of | this First Lady and she will now_enjoy this preference to the utmost. Spring comes late in Northampton and the tulips, narcissi and some varieties of | hyacinths were still blooming when she began her supervision of the garden. Always partial to the old favorites— hollyhocks, stock, larkspur, poppies and | petunias — the borders of the flower spaces have been thickly planted witl these. One thing about the new plac is the privacy it insures for both. Mrs. Coolidge is said to don heavy gloves and broad Hat and to spend a happy, healthful morning with her gardener. i King Haakon of Norway is not o well known to the traveling public from | this side of the water as other reign- | ing heads of Europe, except, of course, to the large contingent of Norse birth or ancestry who sail back to their mother country with regularity. But the King's name will occur more fre- quently in the press if he carries into effect his threat to take up with Fed- eral and State authorities of the United | States the ease with which Norwegians, fresh from their own land, can obtain a divorce and acquire a new spouse, leaving the homeland to take care of the wife and children left behind. King Haakon has been studying a num- | ber of these cases and he and his coun- cil of ministers are going to try out a system of compulsory seizing of part of | any salary an immigrant may have to support the family he has in his own country. Usually these cases are not | desertion_at first glance. The family is left with relatives, while the husband starts off to better his condition, and always with the repeated assertion that he will send for them as soon as he can afford it. King Haakon proposes to compel him to keep these promises it it can be done. Queen Maude of Norway, sister of George of Britain, also | is interested in curbing this evil and | she is in charge of a fund to aid the | stranded families of immigrants to the Western Land of promise, Their Nor- ‘wegian majesties are, perhaps, the most democratic of any in Europe, moving | among the people with practically no | Testrictions. Their favorite diversion is | yachting and they travel almost exclu- sively by water. . e ¥ Senor Ramon Padilla, who has been assigned to his father's staff in the Spanish embassy as second secretary, came to Washington with his parents four years ago as an attache, just out of his preliminary course in the foreign office. He remained about two years and was again assigned to the ministry of foreign affairs in Madrid. During his sojourn in the Capital he had rapidly perfected his English and was 2 quiet, . studious _person, h sociable and wide awake, Having now | committed himself to diplomacy as a| career, the Ambassador’s son will find excellent opportunities to acquire knowl- edge which is most valuable at present in Spain. Trade and commerce . have increased with leaps and bounds be- tween this country and the Iberian pen- insula and through his mother he has tremendous shipping interests and these play & potent part in the developing of trade. His grandfather, the Baron Satrustegui, contrals the Spanish- American line which in the past five years has considerably increased its sailings to New York and Havana, and they now average those to the southern part of the continent. Previously there was 8 heavy preponderance of sailings to Buenos Aires, Rio and Santiago de Chile. Senor Ramon Padilla’s assign- ment to Washington makes the second family affair, as it were, the son of the Minister from the Netherlands having mlso just taken over diplomatic duties here.” The Peruvian Ambassador's son, | young Hernan Velarde, was o~ his Tather's staff for three years, when he resigned to resume the profession of mrchitecture, * Kk % M. Gaston Gerard, who has been #ppointed high eommissioner of the newly created bureau to take over in a special manner the care of “our good, friends, the Americans,” is taking no risks in the line of advertising chosen. French liners have announced free all the best vintages to citizens of this| Republic who travel on it and accept in advance an itinerary through France | of at least 15 days. But not only is wine and more ardent waters to be| free but for those who have the laws of the nation in mind mineral water is | to be gratuitous, whereas hitherto it/ has been far more expensive to drink than are the wines. Although gravely warned against all other water, many Americans have tossed these pred tions aside and survived very fortably. M. Gaston has been adver- tising very circumspectly, and usually free wine would be a capital drawing card. But 48 ships sailed out of New York last week with but a minimum of United States travelers bound for France. Despite the wine, Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain and other northern nations of Europe have at- tracted the greater number this year, maccording to bookings, more than 30 per cent increase over the tourist list last Summer. Tourists to Italy also show & decrease in actual sailings and in reser- vations, but not £ apparent as those to France. In Italy the weather is re- {garded as a deterrent in the usual vaca- ition season. But the surprise of this (CArITOL FUR SHOP 1268 G Street QUALITY REPAIRING REMODELING STORAGE Summer Prices NOwW! Mrs. Coolidge Rapidly Beauties of Their vear is the clamor and determination of travelers to visit Russia, even in the face of getting no aid or protection from this Government. n e Mr. and Mrs. Henry H. Flather about 12 years ago purchased the fine colonial estate, Tulip Till, Annapolis, and their work of restoration on mansion and grounds has come in for high praise during the weeks recently devoted to visiting gardens in Maryland and Virginia. Tulip Hill was the property of Samuel Galloway, the Quaker, whose grandparents had built the first small Quaker meeting house in the Maryland capital. Samuel was chief member of the church and preached in it fre- quently. But his mansion showed none of the simplicity of the Quakers in this section of Maryland, and was in fact one of the lordliest domiciles of the period. The long driveway through & grove of tulip poplars gave the name to the estate and remains its chief glory, although Mrs. Flather, who had personal supervision of restoring the grounds for years gave yeoman service in bringing the lovely flowering trees to the perfection they showed this Spring. Tall chimneys of brick and the pillars holding a triangular canopy from which chubby cupids throw roses the passing throng recall English residences on the upper Thames. Just as stately is the water gate or entrance on the West River, which sweeps below the garden terraces. These gardens were famous in eighteenth century An- napolis, but when Mrs. Flather began her long labor in restoring the pleasure grounds Tulip Hill had been untenanted for years and all who admired certain of its shrubbery had helped themselves. Great lengths of bare spaces showed in the holly hedge and pyramids of box almost priceless had been uplifted for other uses. But with incredible pati- ence, these grounds have been recreated and Mrs, Flather's results have been declared the cleverest exponent of this type of restoration done in Maryland in many years. * o ox ‘The President of Greece and the regency of Rumania, both representing hard-pressed countries in the matter of domestic troubles, faced a new one within the past month, that of fighting the plague of locusts which with bibli- cal sanction had come out of the land of Egypt and had swarmed east of the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Seas. Greece through all the various scholas- tic agencies had inspired numbers of tourists from this country to visit the marvels which it can show and these | inquiring visitors found the cradle of Homer and classic antiquity all that it was painted, but the locusts they were not prepared to welcome. These pests seemed to meet over seas every ship which turned toward Greece and the tourists resented very much having the hoppers in their berths, in their baths and, very often, in their soup. Every precaution was taken to meet vessels with exterminating bands, but the plague extended as far inland as Athens and en route really damaged small vil- lages incredibly and absolutely devoured the crops. Few of the American voyag- ers had courage to proceed to Bucharest, which also was being devoured, but in- stead they departed hastily by fast trains inland toward Austria and the Tyrol. Italy and Spain, though, with a long coast line on the Mediterranean, escaped invasion, but in Africa they forced all visitors to flight. ‘ * Kk ok % Mrs, Guy Despard Goff, who with Miss Vera Bloom were the only mem- bers of Washington's official realm re-. ceived by Queen Mary this court sea- son, is very much at home in London and has been familiar with its cos- mopolitan _life for years. Perhaps | alone in the senatorial group is Mrs. Goff in her intense interest in aviation and her ambition to become & pilot, and quite as much as the honor and unique experience of being received by thé Queen was her desire to see at first hand what progress women are making in practical flying. All through the participation of this country in the ‘World War Senator Goft, in a legal ca- pacity under Gen. Pershing, was sta- tioned in Paris, Mrs. ‘Goff, always fascinated with the idea of flying, came almost a commuter between Le Bourget and Croyden Field. Senator Gofl is not so enthusiastic, but of the two evils he preferred tumbling and tossing for a brief time in the air to ! the prolonged agony of war-time trains and the poor service in crossing the Channel. As his duty took him so fre- quently to London, he can roll up an astonishing average of hours spent in the upper regions. Mrs. Gofl long be- fore such geniuses as Lindbergh had proclaimed the air the “only way” to iravel, was of that mind and she has tried flying in almost every "eountry where Troutes are established. Long ago she would have applied for a license, but for the solicitude of her- home circle. Now that such prejudices are dying out, however, one of the main reasons for Mrs. Goff’s visit to || London aside from the court presenta- tion is to talk to some of the women who have been annihilating distance, from Cape Town to Cairo and across the Sahara and all the more peaceful parts of Indla. * K K ¥ Miss Doris Duke, the shy, wholesome- looking, 18-year-old heir of the late | 1 yt;m-l;l'.it inri,diu your 1ro)| and then be m?ao in -l ':ir of WILBUR COON SHOES For Wide, Narrow, Long, Short, Small or Large Feet “No Foot Too Hard to Fie® 30 Different Styles In Al Lesther and Fabriea Including White Linen 1to 12 FIT SNUG AT THE HEEL Custom-Made Stylish Stouts, $7.50 to $11.00 Nurses’ White Cloth Calf and Black Kid OXFORDS Complete Line of High Shoes CE&] J.

Miss Duke is now sald to be the most_richly endowed woman of this Republic, and that means of the world, | since most of its wealth is now cen- tered here. She is a retiring girl, who has been prepared for the responsibili- ties of life more carefully than the average. The late James B. Duke, who arranged and partially financed the pool between the American and Anglo nicotine interests, figured unceasingly in marital-tangles, but his young daugh+ ter was reared entirely apart from this turmoil, and has lived principally in the spacious estate near Somerville, N. J. It is some years since the opuient heads of the tobacco firm lived at Dur- ham, although the various members have homes in readiness there, % e Mr. Thomas Hitchcock, sr., was well known in Washington during the gay 905 when he was paying court to his wife, then Miss Louise Corcoran Eustis, sranddaughter of the philanthropist. W. W. Corcoran. Even then he was known as a polo enthusiast, and he was one of the four who formed the first team in this country in 1886. All these years he has played the game and encouraged if, and has been an in- valuable aid in counsel and support All these reasons led to the unusual honor recently paid Mr. Hitchcock in being appointed a member of the de- fense committee, with the special duty of looking after the ponies which are to be used at the Meadowbrook Club when the American Polo Association will defend its honors against the chal- lengers from Britain, the Oxford team Mr. Hitchcock has always kept a vigi- lant eye on the ponies, and it has been by his advice that the polo association has been gathering during the past year and, for the first time, a stable of its own. Formerly the members rode mounts which had been loaned or hired for the occasion. The defense com- mittee, of which young Mr. Hitchcock is the chairman, and who is captain of the team, is about to move the ponies from Aiken, where the practice games were played, to Long Island, where in- terest will be centered all through -the Summer on Meadowbrook and where hundreds of fans will congregate for the sport.
