There are several other titled Howards and among those with close ties with Washington are the Howards of Corby Castle in Cumberland. Sir Henry Howard of Corby was attached to the British lega- tion in 1868 under Sir Howard Thorn- ton and married Miss Cecelia Riggs, daughter of the banker, the late George E. Riggs. summer PRE-INVENTORY APPAREL CLEARANCE e« Mrs. Edward E. Gann probably is the only exponent of the fine art of needlework left in the upper regions of officialdom. Mrs. Gann for many years has made lace, principally for curtains | and fine table drapings, and having re- turned to the much-loved home in Cleveland Park, she is busy with her | needle at every spare moment catching up stitches which have been rent and a few new furbelows to the household treasures. Mrs. Joseph Lei- ter is an an expert needlewoman, but she confines her efforts to what is known as needlepoint tapestry for chairs or sofa cushions. Mrs. Hoover, like Mrs. Coolidge, knits, crochets and does expert plain sewing, but she has never | attempted lace as Queen Mary and | her daughter and many other exalted | in_Europe have successfully done. | Princess “Pat” of Connaugh makes mar- velour lace and has just finished a com- plete bed set, spread, drapings for the | canopy and numerous lesser articles for the various pieces of furniture. “nxn | Mrs. Henrietta Tower Wurts, sister of the famous Charlemagne Tower, sometime Ambassador to St. Petersburg in the dazs of the Czar and to Berlin when Kaiser Wilhelm was on_the crest of the wave, has lived in Rome for more than 50 years and is one of the dames in the international cir- | ele of the Italian capital. She is the widow of Theodore Wurts, a veteran member of the United States Foreign Service. He was a German who had first taken a post under the Minister in Berlin in 1862, in the years when that bustling capital was only the chief city of Pru‘lll Mr. Wurts_had the gift of languages and from Berlin he was sent to Rome to aid in the com- | plex situation which arose after the unification of Italy. He was secretary of legation for 20 years but retired to | devote more time to antiquarian studies, just before the legation was raised to an embassy. His wife brought him an ample fortune and he had private means of his own. He purchased a splendid tract of land on the Janiculum | Hill, once a villa in the Augustan days belonging to the powerful family of Bciarri, and after tracing the original | outlines of both mansion and gardens, | he restored the place with incredible skill. Mr. Wurts died in this idyllic spot about three years ago when he was approaching the ninetieth mile-stone. Mrs. Wurts finds Rome changing and the creation of Vatican City has so tly altered the approaches of her e, that she has given the property to the Italian government with a sum of $50,000 for its perpetual care, and to be a memorial to her husband. She has a spacious Winter apartment in the Mattel in_ the Street of the Rope Makers on the Tiber, and there she proposes to pass the season. In the Summer she will go to Switzerland. * ok % % Sir Julian Cahn, who is one of Britain’s leading sportsmen and who recently sailed for Buenos Aires to assume direction of his cricket team on tour of the Argentine, modestly sent to the home secretary the deeds of Newstead Abbey, which he has pre- sented to the nation as a memorial to Lord Byron. Of a keen literary trend he has always resented that England’s famous bard had been so neglected and that not even a tablet had been erected to his memory in Westminster Abbey. The illustrious poet was not, however, born at Newstcad but went there when 10 years of age, and even- tually inherited this chief seat of the Byron family bestowed by Henry VIII on Sir John Byron, the founder. Sir Julian intends to fic out the ruined castle and park with Byron memorials and to establish a library of the poet's works and the chief critical contribu- tions to his fame which have been made in the 110 years since th= poet's romantic death fighting for the inde- pendence of Greece Monday and Tuesday June 16th and 17th Briefly, here is what Phenomenal Reductions on Women’s and this great Clearaway Misses’ Dresses, Coats and Suits brings YOU! in time for July 4th and Midsummer Holidays DRESSES $ 7 95 $ 9 95 Regular $10 10 $16.75 Values Regular $16.75 10 $29.75 Values DRESSES 51895 Regular $29.75 to $49.75 Values SUITS %20 Regular $29.75 to $49.75 Values .
