SOCIETY Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life Rumor of Proposed Sale Home in Plymouth, Vt., Classed as. Wholly U BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. | Pormer President Coolidge and Mrs Coolidge have settled so contentedly | into the Becches rumors persist that | the property in Plymouth, Vt., since it | has been unused fo rsome years, may be offered for sale. Vermont is ideal in Summer and the small village where the thirtieth Chicf Magistrate took the oath of office lles in pictur- esque surroundings. Three generations of the Coolidge family have called Ver- mont home. but the family has a much longer affliation in Massachusetts. | Those who know say that Mr. Coolidge would have to change his mind rad- feally even if the most tempting price | is offered for the primitive house and store at Plymouth. and that by the ex- press wish of both his parents, John Coolidge_will build a suitable home there. But he must await fortune’s smile and not indulge in such luxunes as a fine Summer villa in th~ romantic Piymouth_section of Verm-nt until he can afford it. The form:r President is very stern about this. for there are three persons who would most eheer- fully present an excellently equipped Summer retreat and many other.pl ant things of life. Mrs. Coolidge en a generous income as the result of her writing and she would like to give a good part of it to make John and Flo ence as happy as they wish to be. Of eourse, Gov. Trumbull, father of young Mrs. Coolidge, can afford 2 his daughter and her husband. there are Mr, and ) Frank Stearns, who simply adore young John and would divide their handsome for- tune with him. But self-resperting young business man as he is, John Cool- idge is going to be content with what he earns at present. Gen. Pershing and the Ambassador to Great Britain, Gen. Dawes, have for the past- two years attended the meeting held at Meaux, France, by the overseas writers from this country and both will no doubt be present at the assembly this coming November. Meaux is 45 minutes from the Broadway of Paris, Avenue de 1'Opera, and is a pleasant little city with a venerable cathedral impregnated with memories of the great Bossuet. Across the bridges over the Marne are picturesque windmills and ancient peasant homes, now entirely re- stored and looking as they have for the past four centuries. Meaux was the corridor down which trickled all the news of the A. E. F. It was the first headquarters of the 2d American Divi- sion in June, 1918, when it was rushed in motor trucks to the defense of the west road to Paris, and was a central force in the heroic history of Chateau Thierry and Belleau Wood soon after Bosseut's episcopal city sheltered the 4th American Division. The overseas writers who made the country familiar with the deeds of valor summed up in | the St. Mihiel drive lived for months in | Meaux, and whenever such busy scribes | can get away for a reunion and chat over old times they congregate in that marvelous inn which is set in a garden designed by Le Notre in the shape of a | bishop’s hat and enjoy a meal without | rival in all of Paris or its environs. x oo % Alfonso of Spain and his heir, the | Prince of the Asturias, are among the guests who are expected at Dunrobin Castle, the Highland seat of the Duke of Sutherland, who possesses one of the | best shooting preserves in Scotland. The | King and the heir to the throne, recent- ly restored to health, will be the guests | of a group of British sportsmen, the | owner, the Duke of Sutherland being in | mourning for his sister, killed recently | in an air disaster. The Prince of the| Asturias, long believed to be the victim of an incurable disease, has been re- stored to health by the simple expedi- | ent of physical culture and is now | deemed in prime physical health. This fi:‘"fl' tour to other parts of Europe is | first except under rigid direction of | doctors and nurses. He recently passed two weeks in Paris and was entertained extensively at the Jockey Club. Mr. Pierpont Morgan has recently taken pos. session of his hunting lodge at Gan- nochy, in the immediate neighborhood | of Dunrobin Castle and also of that| grim pile, Glamis Castle, where much | interest has recently been centered. | Another tenant of shooting preserves Who will be among the foremost at the hunt amenities is Mr. Bernard Baruch, who has made his round of the Euro- | g!lh spas, finishing his tour at Vichy. | he flag of this Tepublic flies gayly over half a dozen extensive hunting lodges about Glamis and Dunrobin and many relays of guests from this side of the ocean will be entertained between the middle of August and October 1. * ok * ‘When the Secretary of State, Col.| Stimson, has the Great Seal of the United States affixed to proper papers, | he uses the third hand-mark of the Nation, asserted by critics to be the most beautiful national emblem in existence. That three great seals have been used since 1779, when the first, a combina- tion of designs submitted by Jefferson, Adams and the French engraver, Du Bimiere, is not due to any radical change in the ‘general appearance, but to the | effect of time in smoothing the surface. | The first shield was ordered soon after the Declaration of Independence was | signed, but failure to accept the vartous designs offered postponed its actual use until 1779. This Great Seal was used continuously until 1885, when the Secre- tary of State, Mr. Frelinghuysen, called | attention to ‘the fading lines then: ap- parent, after the lapse of more thén a century. The second seal, however, was found lacking in true heraldic signifi- cance, and under John Hay, in the Roosevelt administration, a new seal embracing the best features of that of 1779 was combined in the present satis factory form. Great Britain recently | ordered the lord chancellor to prepare a new seal, the status of the Irish Free State calling for a revision of the phra: “King of Great Britain and Ireland and this change marks one of nearly | half a hundred since Britain became a | world power. The great seal of the United Kingdom has been the subject ©f an extensive literature, and those who | admire Dickens have obtained a de- tailed description of the | York City, of the Coolidge Ancient | nfounc]ed. ]} on the program and an exhibition in | the park of th> presidential mansion The Olayas, who have a charming home in the Colombian capital and are in residence there pending the renovation of the white houss of the republic, an informal somewhat rambling stone siructure very homey looking and spa- clous enough for state functions.

Billard, eom- mandant of the Coast Guard, was | among the notables who aided this pioneer branch of the National defnse to celebrate its 140th birthday. The | oldest armed force created by the Re- public, the Coast Guard, started life as the Revenu* Marine, and the charter bestowed by President Washington was dated Augus. 4, 1790. Later it be- came known as th: Revenue Cutter Service. Its present title dates from the reorganization of 1916, when the Coast Guard absorbed the Life Saving | Service and took over, in addition to its traditional duties, the apprehen- sion of liquor- smugglers, The cere- monies in connection with the 140th anniversary of the charter occurred in New London, Conn., where motor boat races added to the pageartry of the vent and the battered beats of th decked with flags and filled with . entered the ranks for the day es preventing smuggling, the Coas! Guard has a trying duly in theflceberg menace of the North and in taking care of the halibut fishers off the Alaskan Coast. Probably no branch of the sea service encounters so many adventures as the Coast Guard, and the logs of its ships have furnished material for scores of storles as well as for spirited special articles dealing with life on the | deep. Besides the major celebration at | New London, several smaller ceremonics | were staged during the past week in Buffalo and along the Alaskan Coast. | x & ¥ % Mr. and_Mrs. William Phillips, well | known in Washington during the sev- | eral terms of the former in the State | Department, passed some months leis- | urely looking about for a permanent | hcme before they purchased a few days ago, the handsom> domicile at 17 Commonwealth avenue, Boston. This mansion has been sccially promin-nt as the home recently of Mr. William Whitman, jr. Mr. Phillips, who had a brilliant career in diplomacy, resigned from_the forelgn scrvice nearly a T ago, giving as his reason th> impera- tive need of establishing in his own |t country a hcme for the children and to superintend their €ducation. Hence the choice of Boston rather than New | with which Mrs. Phillips | is affiliated through the several branches of the Astor family and otaers equally | prominent. She was Miss Caroline As- | tor Drayton, and her mother was the | eldest daughter of the famous Mrs. As- tor, autocrat of Gotham's rocial realm, who married first Coleman Drayton of Philadelphia and then Gordon Haig of London, head of the famous firm of distillers. Mrs. Phillips was reared by her distinguished Grandmother Astor | after her mother's deparwre for Eng- | nd. Mr. Phillips is a native of Bos- | ton and always has made his home there and his friends believe he even- | tually will enter politics. His brother- | in-law, former representative from Boston, Andrew J. Peters, was elected | mayor of Boston and has been & domi- pant figure in Massachusetts public affairs. Mr. Phillips is a Harvard man and he wishes his sons to grow up in the tradition. Beatrice, the oldest girl, is a subdeb and active already in the Junior League. He and Mrs. Phillips already | have taken ssion of their new | home, although they have been passing most of the Summer on the North Shore. * ox % x Mrs. Louii Frothingham, widow of a former member of the "Jouse from Bos- | ton ane for years president of the local | Mascachusetts State Soclety, has joned a groun of relatives and will take pos- | session cf a shooting preserve leased in | Scoflanc and®in the immediate neigh- | borhooc of Blair Athol, lcased by Mr. | and Mrs. Axel Wichf=ld, the latter formerly Mabelle Swift of this city and Bosion. Mrs. Prothingham sold her handsome home here on R street, where s0 many amenities centered during her husbarc & congressional service, to the Secretary of the Navy and she has tem- porarily ~been residing at the Ames | mansion, in Back Bay, She will on her return 1rom Scotland occupy the house | she 1ecently bought on Commonwealth avenue and take part in social affairs Mrs Frothirgham was Miss Mary Ames, | daughter of the late PFrederic Lathrop Ames, and her mother is of the party bound for the Highlands. Two of her brotLers, Di John S. Ames and Mr Hobart Ames, already are in Scoliand and there wili be a generai fam | unfon. Mrs Prothingham was during her Washington life considered a most discriminating and successful lhostess and hope was entertained thal she might make a Winter residencs here, where she has so many iriends, but her own home circle was more tempting. X oK K X Miss Laura Ingalls, who is a member | of the family very well known in Wash- | ington and at present represented in the | official division of aeronautics by the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Mr. David S. Ingalls, has added another to | the list of belles in exalted social circles who have taken up flying scientifically and as a career. All tne world gasped | when this courageous candidate for a | record made her 900 consecutive loops over Oklahoma and none more than her former associates in the fashionable world of Tuxedo Park and in New York City. Miss Ingalls is the daughter of the late Francis Abbott Ingalls and her mother was Miss Martha Houghtaling, @ member of one of the oldest and most | aristocratic families in Brooklyn.

Miss Ingalls*is the | sister of F. Abbott Ingalls, who a few years ago married Miss Mabel Satterlee, the granddaughter of the late J.

Although | iss Bankhead has declared London her home and expresses delight over life in that metropolis compared to that on this side, she is loyally American and likes the plays produced over here better than the British or continental output. In her formative years Tallulah lived in Washington, attended school here, principally the Western High, and appeared in the customary dramatics. Nobody discovered her genius in those days and the critics were unmerciful | when she made her debut on the New | York stage. She bears no malice, but | it is doubtful if she will leave London | in the near future to accept New York engagements.
