S0 Tales of Well In Social and Official Life LlbelY Known Folk " European Rulers Adopt Airplane Travel as Quick, Safe Means {Ol‘ S tate and Pleasure Travelind. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. President Hoover is revered in aero-| nautic circles because he is a fearless and easy traveler in the air, and had in the days before his responsibility to, the public became so grave shortened various trips by flying to his desti- nation. But one other Chief Magistrate,| fTheodore Roosevelt, had & record for| fiying, and in Roosevelt’s time aviation was undeveloped compared to its pres- ent standards. He made but a few short trips over New York and in Europe. But kings, potentates and other rulers in the Old World have greater confidence in this newest way to annihilate time and space. The| venerable life President of Czecho- slovakia, Dr. Tomas Masaryk, uses his lane aimost as he does his traveling imousine. He spends week ends habitu- ally at the celebrated Bohemian spa, Carlsbad, and unless the wind is very strong or nasty weather assured, he takes to the air and arrives in less than an hour, saving two and a half| by train and a circuitous route by| motor. King Albert and his Queen, who, as every one knows, are as averse to any other method of traveling than by air as Col. Lindbergh, go hither and hence, and the Belgians make no protest. But, one time the chancellor offered a pro- test. That was when taeir two sons wand daughter planned to fly to Zermatt | to witness a special event at the Win-| ter sports meet. The Belgian cabinet, thought it too much to have the entire/ royal line aloft at the same time. The| #wo princes had tq go by train. | Alfonso of Spain is his own pilot,| end frequently takes his son on a sky | #rip as far as London. Britain’s Pre- mier, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, files, as a rule, to political meetings and to his ohome 'in Lossiemouth. . M. Tardieu is | a skilled pilot, and Signor Mussolini| frequently takes !o*the air. | * * | Mr. Walter Louis Reichardt has added new honors to the many which| Los Angeles has recently seeured by winning the Prix de Rome, the rhost coveted scholarship award in the do- main of fine arts. A student of the| University of Pennsylvania School of Fine Arts, the embryo architect from the City of the Angels won the prize with @ drawing of a church and parish house of a style in harmony with early tradi- tions in this country. He found an in-‘ spiration in the fine old North Church of New Haven, with sufficient original contribution to win easily over all' com- titors. pcMl‘. Reichardt in Rome will have his own studio and living quarters in the mellow old villa Borghese, overlooking the Pincian gardens. He will be asso-| ciated with excellent architects already | arrived, and will be saturated in the| atmosphere of the past and surrounde.d‘ by the best examples of the world's architecture. Only winners of the Prix de Rome are domiciled in the American Academy, and to enter there is equiva- fent to a prosperous career in the pro- fession, if not to a guarantee of becom- ing a great architect. Prize winners in | Rome have contributed immensely to architectural history in this Republic. | Los Angeles secures the prize for the, first time. N President Rubio of Mexico was, it will be remembered, the first of the Presidents-elect of Latin republics to | make a call of courtesy on the P{esg-. dent of the United States. Mexico's| Chief Executive, unlike the line of offi-| clals who followed Diaz, belongs to one | of the ancient Spanish families estab-| lished in the Western World in the six- teenth century. He is a scholar with a deep appreciation of the classics, and| in this tendency he found a congenial| friend in the retiring Ambassador, Mr. Dwight Morrow. As that successful candidate in the * yecent New Jersey primaries has re- * turned to the Mexican capital to make his official farewells and to express his high regard for the powers that be, President Rubio will make this visit memorable. Mr. and Mrs. Morrow cor-| dially liked Mexico, and enjoyed them- | selves immensely in the ancient city, | #0 high in the mountains and sur- rounded by every variety of natural at- tractions. Summer is the gala season and the formal functions are ld in the forenopn. Although the habit at first strikes. every stranger as curious, Mrs. Morrow and her family soon got to like it, and could enjoy a ! garden party and ices from 10 until 1 ?ust as heartily as from 5 to 8 in other ands. Afternoons are prone to be rainy in the Summer, and the Latins do not relish having their finery spoiled by a downpour during a festivity; nor can they reconcile themselves to appearing repared for untoward weather. As for life, color and vivacity, al fresco flestas in the capital of Montezuma are said by Mrs. Morrow to surpass any she Judge and Mrs. Morgal whose beautiful Summer villa at South- :rz:jnon was recently the scene of the ding _of Miss Genevieve Fox to Quincy Seawall Cabot, the former & granddaughter of the judge, admire Italian architecture and garden land- | scaping. The O'Brien villa is about 25 years old. Many of the features copied from the famous Villa di Medici in Rome have mellowed in the quarter of a_century. The name, Mille Fiori (Thousands of Flowers), is now justi- fied as lavishly as if it were on the slopes of Fiesole, near Florence. Mr, Cabot's bride, who is the daugh- | ter of Mr. and Mrs. Lyttleton Fox, was married in a glorious garden filled with delphinium, white and blue, which had grown mare than 4 feet; giant gladioli, | almost as tall and set against a solid bank of feverferns, or tiny Summer chrysanthemums, and the dainty lace- like gysopholus (baby breath). It is a glorious garden, and while these flowers are not identical with those which bloom about historic Villa di Medici, whether that in Fiesole or the more illustrious one on the Pincian hills of Rome, the color scheme is the same, and the solemn ilex and yew trees which frame both flower plots and villa are identical. Around the pool, reached from the rear veranda, is a screen of water. onk, something rarely seen in the Western World. * ok ok ok Mr. Joseph B. Thomas, well known in the hunting world, has announced a welcome project of making Tennessee near Gallatin a vast national fox-pur- suing country—a sort of Utopia, long dreamed of by those who are gradually being forced out of their familiar sur- roundings by encroaching cities. Even those “apparently firmly situated hunt clubs like the Meadowbrook and the Rockaway, on Long Island, have experi- enced harrowing times in the pillar-to- post_existence which they have led for the past 15 years. Naturally, these pop- ular clubs resented frequent moves or consolidations with other organizations, but it was that or extinction. Mr. Thomas and his associates have found for sale a tract of unusual di- mensions, unincumbered with popula- tion and with clear title going back to the heroic frontier days of this pic-| turesque State. There is abundant room for fleeing foxes. There are also hordes of these sly beasts in the vicin- ity, and for the riders there are deep woods, a fine river and all the natural barriers which are becoming so rare. This ambitious project cannot be real-| ized in a few years, but that the first| steps are now being taken fills the| sportsmen of the Eastern seaboard with deep gratitude. For it is hoped to re- vive in this national center the sport-| ing traditions of colonial times, with all the quaint customs and impressive ceremony and regalia. Mr. Thomas has already established a number of “duke- ries,” as the term goes for duck lands, and these will be teeming with game when the hunters give it a tryout this Autumn. ‘The Maharajah of Kapurthala, the| ruler of an Indian state, who so closely | resembles_the opulent prince of the! “Arabian Tales,” cannot, because of the | political situation in India, entertain his numerous friends this coming Au- tumn in his magnificent chateau adja- | cent to Simla. For years this Indian | prince has passed several months each Winter ih Europe, mostly in-Paris. He| is in the market for every rare jewel -offered for sale, and has the lavish habit of presenting gems to his guests| as favors at banquets or games. His| establishment in India is conducted on a scale which even the Viceroy of Great Britain cannot maintein. It has been the custom of fashion- able British matrons and their daugh- ters to visit India ever so often to penetrate the hills and enjoy & touch of magnificence not enjoyed in any other place. But in these domains of the rajahs the European or even the globe-trotting citizen of this land is welcome as a visitor, but he is not en-| couraged to attempt digging in. He; cannot buy land, nor can he own the! houseboat which he has used seasons untold. He may bring his saddle horse and a motor car or two, but that is all. All must be hired and under long and complicated regulations. But, neverthe- | less, the hill stations of India attract | their crowds of tourists or Winter resi-| | dents, while early in September all| good hotels and villas have been grabbed up and camping in a tent is all that| remains for the late comer. * K ok X Two of New York's most public-spir- | ited citizens, Mr. Otto H. Kahn and | Mr. Barnard Baruch, have joyously de- | parted on their annual patriotic pil- grimage through Europe.

Reed Hospital. ., who is on duty at Walter He would welcome an explanation for impoverished Vienna taxing her people | nearly $1,000,000 each year to support the opera house, wheras New York gives very grudgingly about $50,000. The Viennese consider opera a spiritual necessity and not a fashionable gesture, and they pay the special tax cheerfully, even the humblest, rather than be de- prived of this release from the grind- ing cares of life. Berlin supports, through special taxes, what is called the “people’s opera,” where Wagner, Mo- zart and the best of the modern Italian and French productions may be en- joyed for something less than 40 cents. Various cities of Europe tax luxuries for the support of music. Riga, capital of Latvia, makes every glass of beer quaffed, or of wine or stronger waters, contribute about 2 cents to the main- tenance of the national opera house and conservatory. Mr. Kahn would like to persuade Gothamites to follow such an excellent example, especially that the bootleggers would have to contrib- ute if the Riga program were advo- cated. Mr. Baruch continues to visit European spas of renown and study their methods, in order that the glory of Saratoga may e‘xce‘ed .them all. * Britain's Chief Justice, Lord Gordon Hewart, has occuppied his exalted post since 1922 and is on terms of friendship with Chief Justice Hughes, who from time to time has visited Lon- don on legal matters, ~Although the lord chancellor is the highest judicial officer in the United Kingdom, he is subject to.political exigencies, whereas the Chief Justice is a permanent ap- vointee during life or good behavior. ‘There have been four chancellors in the eight years during which Chief Jus- tice Lord Hewart has been in office. He is a self-made man from Lancashire, the son of a linen draper in Bury and, having passed brilllantly through the Manchester grammar school, won an Oxford scolarship. Lady Gordon Hewart is one of the beauties of London’s political realm, and was before her marriage Miss Sarah Wood Riley, daughter of a pros- perous ironmonger of Bristol. She has visited this side of the Atlantic on several occasions, but the Chief Justice is not a traveling man, and when he is on holiday he prefers his handsome estate, Totteridge, in Hertfordshire, where he raises blooded stock and has spacious and successful truck gardens. Lady Hewart attends to the flower gardens and has won many prizes in the local shows. Gordon Hewart, jre was one of the early victims of the ‘World War, and the heir is now Hon. Hugh Vaughan Hewart, who fol- lows his father's profession and fre- quently visits New York, Queen Victoria made it her proud boast that she had acquired a taste for every fruit which the far-flung British Empire could furnish. Queen Alexan- dra made a few efforts to eat the for- eign melons which have such a vogue in the globe-trotting section of London, and then she found the task impossi- ble. The consort of George V has the reputation of being the simplest eater in the royal circle, but she has acquired a liking for the mango, which comes from Jamaica and is so highly prized by epicures. These melons reach New York by way of Havana, often sent by air for special feasts on Long Island, and are general- ly to be purchased in the Washington market, where the supply seldom equals the demand. Several hundred thou- sand Latins of all the diverse countries in the Western World and from Europe live in New York City, and they con sider that species of mango known as the mulgoba as the most delicious and desirable Summer fruit. The late Capt. J. A. Haden, who spent much time in Cuba, raised the mulgoba melon or mango very successfully at the farm near Cocoanut Grove in Florida, and many the dinner party al fresco was glorified for the Washington friends of this fine agriculturist by these dain- ties. In Havana and, in fact, all over the West Indies, unfamiliar melons offer tors learn to enjoy them. Few, however, can be shipped as far as Washington, although the Minister from Panama and Senora de Alfaro often give their {riends a treat of mangoes which arrive by way of the airmall. Senator and Mrs. Phipps of Colorado lament that ‘Washington is too remote for the deli- clous Rocky Ford of their State to reach the Capital in the condition which they enjoy it in their Denver home. * ok ok When Mr. Clinton Ledyard Blalr, well | known banker of New York, decided to sell his splendid home at the corner of Fifth avenue and East Eighty-first street, he and Mrs. Blair spent a year or more deciding on their future home. They had long been accustomed to spending some of the rigorous weather at Hamilton in the Bermudas, so they purchased a spacious site and have built one of the finest domiciles in that enchented region. They had nearly all the ornamental portions of their New York home shipped to Hamilton, and some of the rooms are identical. The Blair banquet hall was renowned even in Gotham, for the walls and ceil- ings were of ancient English oak pur- chased from a sixteenth century manor house in the Midlands and put in place by that renowned architect, William Hunt, who built nearly all of the great mansions between 1880 and 1900.

D East Offers Series Of Horse Shows for Blue Ribbon Fanciers Southampton Season Also to Be Marked by Annual Exhibit of Horticultural Society and Tennis Week to Begin on August 4. NEW YORK, July 19.—Blue ribbon horses are finding opportunities in the East to exhibit their good points before eager audlences this Summer. Society’s horse lovers are migrating this week from Westport, Conn., where the Fair- field County Hunt Club show closed yesterday, to Stamford, not far distant, where exhibitions at Sunaim Farm will open Tuesday and continue through Saturday. Mrs. Thomas F. Logan, for- merly of Washington, is president of the Stamford show. Close upon the heels of the Connecti- cut shows comes the second annual af- fair of the Southampton Riding and Hunt Club on its own grounds August 2, entries for which closed yesterday. Many strings of horses will be trans- ported from there to Rumson, N. J., where the Monmouth County horse show will take place August 7 to 9, under the direction of Mr, Samuel Wal- ter Taylor, chairman. Overnight trans- portation back to Long Island will make possible a showing in the Southold show August 9, which precedes two shows in that vicinity—the opening at Montauk August 13 for a two-day af- fair and the East Hampton show, to complete the circuit, August 16. Among those whose love is shared | with flowers, interest is being given the annual exhibition of the horticultural society which will be held in South- ampton, Long Island, July 31 and Au- gust 1. The height of the season at Southampton will be marked by the opening of Tennis week August 4, which will continue until the 9th. At that time the annual tournament will be held on the Meadow Club courts, and the annual ball ‘will mark the finale August 9. Another social event of that. week on Long Island will be the an- nual dinner dance at Canoe Place Inn August 8 for benefit of the Boys' Club lsumflmer Camp at Jamestown, Long Is- and. of the marriage Monday afternoon of Miss Mary Davis Landstreet, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fairfax S.

The ceremony was performed in the home of the bride’s parents by the Rev. J. Philip Anshutz, associate rec- tor of St. George's Episcopal Church. Only members of the family were pres- ent at the ceremony, which was fol- lowed by a small reception. ‘The bride, who was unattended, was given in marriage by her father. It is understood that Mr. Pieck will continge his duties on the steamship for the present. Mrs. Pleck was educated in private schools, was graduated from Vassar and has been a popular mem- ber of the younger set since her debut.

Templeton of Hinsdale, IIl, in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine Tuesday. The couple announced their engagement early in the month. The ceremony was performed by the bride- groom's father, and shortly afterward abroad. The bride attended the National Ca- thedral School for Girls in the Na- tional Capital at the same time that Mr. Rhinelander was a student in the National Cathedral School for Boys. She later attended Radcliffe, while Mr. Rhinelander studied at Harvard. Later both continued their studies at Oxford, England, and now plan to continue their work to further degrees.

In one instance, Fach declared, three of the conspirators claimed from the Manhattan Morgue the body of an un- identified man killed in a fall from a high building. The men, who repre- sented themselves as relatives, gave the dead man “a swell funeral” and then presented a death claim for $500 on a fraudulent insurance policy.
