8 SOCIETY. Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Secretary Adams of Navy Deplores Increasing Cost of Yacht Races—Defense of BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. ‘The Secretary f the Navy, who has | pecies presented America Cup Example Cited. can kodak. All her books of adventure are illustrated by her self and she has volumes of wild beasts veturned from a vacation, passed prin- | jn their habitat to various museums eipally among the cup defenders, is of & large group who deplore the growing cost of the fascinating sport of sailing ehte. The cost of defending the cup | {hh year is three times the sum re-| quired when the last race was sched- tled, and some of the wits of the club &re quoting that historic phrase, “Mil- lions for defense.” Secretary Adams who was a member of the London Con- ference for Reducing World Navies, is | of the opinion that if the cost of sail- ing keeps growing those Who in- duige in such pastimes will have to seek parity. It has been computed that to | Tetain the silver flagon known America’s Cup on this side of the ocean | the 120 members of the New York Club | have planned to raise the needful | money, now computed to be approach- ing $5,000,000. . This cup was presented by the Royal Yacht Squadron of Great | Britain and its value is reputed to be about $500. But it is by far the costliest | trophy in the.world, since it means that | each side must spend $5.000000 in the | effort to keep it in or to wrest it from its present moorings. In the 1870s, when the first race was sailed, the cost | was astonishingly low, but in 1893 it | rose loftily and has been on the ascent ever since. Mr. Adams has been a cup | defender and has kept note of changing schedules in these intervening years since 1876. ~ Col. Amos W. W. Woodcock, who is called the czar of prohibition, has been known here as a valiant Marylander, who, with two friends who also have climbed political heights, entered the World War in modest roles. The others are Senator Millard F. Tydings and E. Brooke Lee, Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, who lives just be- ond the border of the District in {lom«omery County, and is prominent in Washington affairs. Highly regarded in legal circles, Cal. Woodcock is & bachelor of as hospitable intent as is Senator Tydings, and it is confidently anticipated he will not permit the repu- tation of his State to lag. He is a pro- found student of current literature and a library remarkable for its Preadin of interests. But the moderns like Bernard Shaw, Pinero and other dramatists are a sort of hobby with the mew prohibition chief, for he believes in sychology in persuading the reluctant g observe the law. In Baltimore Col. ‘Woodeock ranks high as a dinner guest and will be popular also in Washington, even if his presence means only inno- cent cocktails like tomato juice or diced fruit. Col. Woodcock, like all Balti- moreans of hospitable habit, ranks the muskrat high in the list of delicacies, but although so few miles separate the Maryland emporium of good cooking from the Capital, no one has succeeded in making this dish popular under its highly suggestive name. But many en- joy it at banquets as “marsh rabbit,” and they are likely to repeat that ex- perience again when Col. Woodcock sets his board with typical Maryland food, beaten biscuit, fried chicken and corn fritters, muskrat or marsh rabbit, as an entree., *x ox % Representative Henry Allen Cooper, ‘who has many years of service.to his credit, is one of the small group of members who has retained his office in the House wing of the Capitol in- stead of being bundled off into much less attractive quarters in the House Office Building. Mr. Cooper’s windows overlook the cool sward of the lawn with a view of the gay flowers which the terrace and it is a view with which he has been familar for more than 35 years. These rooms are down the long corridor leading from the main entrance. They are quiet and removed from the main arteries of travel up and down the vast basement. Some other of the seniors in the popular ‘branch of Congress—the Speaker’s edict making the term “Lower House” a trifle risky—who have retained their offices in the Capitol are near the restaurant or, like those which occupy the space where the Congressional Library was first housed, are constantly being invad- | ed by those seeking some one else. Mrs. T, although she does not count as many years in Washington as her husband, for she was married a little more than 30 years ago, is deeply at- tached to this office and she is apt to| meet friends there when she is bent | on hospitality and desires to act as| their guide through the mammoth | structure, In the olden days social| life was more in evidence about these | office buildings and this aspect is still Tetained to a greatér extent in the parts occupied by the members in the | Capito! than in the crowed spaces of the long building on B street mcross from the Congressional Library. Wi . Queen Mary of Britain delights in making kodak pictures and she fis prone to snap members of the royal family unawares. Many of the photos furnished to news agencies during King George's convalescence on the Cornish coast a year and 3 half ago were the Queen's handiwork. The King does not care for taking photos, although he has many large albums filled with offerings of the Queen and of other members of the family. The Duke of Connaught made a fine set of photos in South Africa and in Japan and sent a book of them to his kinsman during his long fliness. Princess Mary, like her mother, uses a kodak with skill. Her boys from their infancy were photographed for their grandfather and during a re- eent yachting tour of the Mediterranean made some fine pictures of the Spanish and Italian coasts and of the lovely isles thereabout. But Europe’s most_accomplished royal photographer is Elizabeth, Queen of the Beigians, who has fillled a section devoted to amateur work in the exposition now being held in Antwerp. The Duchess of Aosta is Italy's versatile snap-shot- ter and she uses a well known Ameri- | portant points in social ! founder of this family and maker of its and to high schools of Italy. * % % % Former Senator and Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry recently moved into a handsome and historic home in Providence, which they purchased from the estate of the late John Carter Brown Woods. This fine old Colonial mansion has been built on the foundations of one almost as old as Providence plantations and the su- premacy of Roger Willilams. Mr. and Mrs. Gerry in this act have severed all ties with their former home in New York City, and henceforth their Winter domicile will be in Providence and their Summer retreat at Warwick Neck, R.I. Quite near the Gerry house is the his- toric home of Mrs. John Nicholas Brown, Mrs. Gerrv's sister, on Benefit street, and the principal seat of this eminent family. This Colonial mansion, built in the middle 1700s, is deemed one | of the most ornate and perfect in the State, had stood close to the university campus long before the name was changed from Rhode Island College to Brown University, and its doors are never closed. The gardens are the glory of the city and are often the scene of quiet scholastic gatherings when Mrs. Brown and her son entertain the faculty or in honor of some signal event. In | Newport, the Brown mansion, on Com- monwealth avenue, is one of the im- life. The colossal fortune was that Nicholas Brown, who, in partnership with Thomas P. Ives, established the cotton manu- facturing firm of international fame. This Nicholas took his degree from Rhode Island College in 1770. As he prospered he began benefactions to his alma mater. Each succeeding head of the firm followed his example until in about 1870, the name was changed to honor the publlc-?tl:ug donors. * Sir Edwin Lutyens, architect of the new British embassy, 18 now engaged on the recently planned Roman Catholic Cathedral in Liverpool. This edifice is to be one of the most ambitious at- tempts since the Reformation, and al- though Sir Edwin’s fame now rests securely on his creation of the New Delphi, this minister in England’s larg- est port and first commercial city, will, if results justify the ambition of the architect, be the medium by which his reputation will stand or fall. Cathedrals are bullt so rarely and they endure so long that to be chosen as the designer of one is the highest meed of praise, Sir Edwin and Lady Lutyens spent some weeks in Washington in the Spring and Lady Lutyens was par- ticularly interested in the Cosmos Club, once the home of Mistress Dolly Madison. It was the British legation when Sir Bulwer Lytton was Minister. Lady Lutyens was Lady Emily Lytton, daughter of the first Earl Lytton, who was the poet, orator and scholar, familiar as Owen Meredith before he succeeded his uncle to the title and was elevated to an earldom by Queen Victoria. Sir Edward Lytton became Viceroy of India after he left Washing- ton. It was his younger brother who reached the pinnacle of fame in litera- ture and drama and wrote that stirring tale of “Rienzi,” “Last Days of Pompeii” and those poem plays still popular, “Richelieu” and “Lady of Lyons.” B In Rt. Rev. James De Wolf Perry, presiding Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, the Lambeth Conference has acknowl- edged the priority of the Ovolonial es- tablishment of the mother church in this country and at all future cere- monies which calls forth universal at- tendance of the prelates, Bishop Perry and his successors will rank seventh in grade instead of thirteenth, the rank hitherto assigned. Those prelates who precede the genial suffragan of Rhode Island are the Archbishop of Canter- bury and of York, of Armagh, Dublin, Brechin and Wales. It is predicted that the higher ecclesiastic title of arch- bishop will at the next Lambeth Con- ference be conferred on the representa- tive of the Epum)xl hiearchy in the former colonies of Britain. In fact, the British press frequently alluded to the divine from Providence as “His Grace,” applied to an archbishop, in- stead of “His Lordship,” the manner of addressing a bishop. The primate of all England, Most Rev. Cosmo Lang, Arch- bishop of Canterbury, has been par- ticularly gracious to the American visitors at the Lambeth Conference, and after he had been officially elevated to his new rank, tendered him a re- ception to which many of the promi- nent members of the Anglo-American colony in London were invited and at which the Canadian colleagues of Bishop Perry plid‘ him high honor. * * ‘The AmbasSador to Rome, Mr. John Work Garrett and Mrs. Garrett, who passed two months in their Baltimore home, sailed a few days ago for Naples, ‘but they will tarry for several weeks at Capri before returning to the Italian capital. Mrs. Garrett has taken over the fortunes of the Musical Art Quar- tet, a group of musicians ranked with the famous Flonzaley Quartet, which recently disbanded. She has secured for the quartet the handsome home of Dr. Axle Munthe, perched on the rocks of Capri, almost at the identical spot where the Emperor Tiberius had his villa. Here in a natural amphitheater these musicians will begin their con- cert tour, afterward playing in Naples and then going to Rome. The Ambas- sador and Mrs. Garrett will at once give a series of soirees and dinners al fresco at which the quartet will piay, and it is hoped by their patrons ac- quire a vogue in the fashionble world Rome, like other of the older capitals, is not emptied of its political and so- cial great by the scorching weather while the Parliament is in recess.

Lady Willingdon holds levees several times a week and there are formal banquets and receptions on occasion. In addition to Viscount Willingdon, the lieutenant governor and Mrs, H. G. Carroll have established a home at the famous estate of Spencerwood and are showing active interest in the amenities. All of the officials of the Ottawa gov- ernment will pass part of these two months in Quebec and aid in the bril- liant season, the first time this has| been done since the days of Sir Wilfrid | Laurier. The pageantry arranged on | the Plains of Abraham added to the attractions of the court has lured 80| many to Quebec that the ancient citadel is more- crowded than ever before ex- cept at royal visitations or some mo- mentous celebration. Hundreds of cit- | izens from this country who have Sum- | mer homes or camps across the Cana- | dian border are seeking quarters in the | rural hotels, for the hotels of the city are crowded up to the last moment of the Governor General's visit.

Claflin of New York City, who has for years been the man- ager of Southampton’s picturesque street fair for the benefit of the local hospital, is busy marshaling her forces for a mammoth performance during the first week of September.

This village no longer clings to the tradition and Southampton has taken over its official date. For 10 years past Mrs. Clafin has been manager of the fair and achieved mar- velous success, not alone in the finan- cial sense, but in originality and color- ful effects, and the fete is easily the most attractive event in September, when Meadow Brook Club stages such alluring sports.

TURKS TAKE UP SPORTS OF WEST ON BIG SCALE Private Clubs Worried by Ministry Ruling Barring Secondary School Pupils as Members. STAMBOUL _ (N.AN.A) — Culture pursues its Western way and Anglo- Saxon es like foot ball, boxing and nautical sports have taken the place once occupied by the national ones. Sporting organfzations are to be created in all secondary schools and competi- tive encounters are to take place at the end of every year with a view to & championship of Turkey. But the Turkish ministry of edu- cation has decided that pupils of sec- ondary schools shall no longer be al- lowed to enter any kind of sporting club and the private sporting clubs are very much afraid that the withdrawal of their younget members will weaken them uncomfortably for some years to come. They visualizé a long period ahead in which they will not be able to continue their usual matches with Central European and Balkan teams.
