ales of Well ',url. Hoover's Love of Known Folk In Social and Official Life Trees Frequently Mani- fested as She Inspects Historic Specimens Near White House. [ BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. L Mrs. Hoover's love of trees seems to thave been inspired by her many out- ings with her father, the late Charles Henry of Monterey, and in the few moments which she manages to snatch from the never-ending routine of duties in the White House she has been de- lighted with the venerable and historic specimens which fill the southern ounds. She has entertained the Girl ts in the park, especially in the more retired spaces which slope to- ‘ward the river. Those who have wan- dered about during the recent garden les have not failed to admire one of the most beautiful trees in the White House grounds, & mighty chestnut, which spreads as grandly as the one in Longfellow’s poem under which stood the village smithy. No tree in Washington has a more historic origin, for the parent stock came from Mount Vernon and had been planted by the First Patriot, but there was a detour before it reached its present stately environment. This chestnut was of good size when Col. Washington inherited part of the Mount Vernon estate from his brother Lawrence and purchased the remainder from the widow. It grew right in front of the coach house and one of the sap- lings is now thriving near the spot. ‘When Gen. Robert Brown came to wisit his commander-in-chief in 1785 ‘was presented with a sapling and | be told to plant it as a friendship tree on the lawn of his home at Bath, Pa. *This glant of the forest died 10 years| go, but its offshoots have distinguished homes, one on the White House grounds | and hundreds of others along the na- tional highways of the West, in Colo- rado, Utah and Oregon, and each tree bears a tablet, showing its origin from Washington's friendship tree. * % %k % Miss Anne P. Morgan 1s a champion ©of the game “Camelot,” a combination of simple chess with more complicated checkers, and because of her interest in this old Arthurian name she was among Dr. Henry Richard Jenner to the Arthurian Congress held at Truro, on the Cornish coast, the tra- ditional home of the Spotless Knight who was leader of the Round Table. This group of students of the Arthurian legend included musicians who study the score of “Isolde” and scholars who are versed in Tennyson’s saga, together with learned ones who interpret the tales from old English texts. “Camelot” , has been growing in favor for the past five years. It is played with 26 knights same number of “men,” and Mr. 8.

They have made three round trips over that trail since they ceased to be mem- bers of Washington's high official set. December 22 Mr. Kellogg will celebrate | his 74th birthdey and a few days later, | in the opening new vear, he and Mrs Kellogg will commemorate 35 years of | wedlock. Both anniversaries 'will be | quietly observed and possibly in their | well beloved home in Fairmont avenue |in St. Paul. This home was acquired years befeore the head of the family had acquired his legal and political | success, and they have retained it intact | all through their years in Washington | and abroad, being unmoved by eloquent pleas to rent it furnished. Mr. and | Mrs. Kellogg have a pleasant villa on Lake Minnetonka, where they spend part of each Summer, a simple com- | fortable habitation roomy enough to | accommodate & few friends and for in- | numerable picnic parties from the home | eity, St. Paul. | * ok X K | Former Senator Simon Guggenheim, founder of the memorial foundation bearing his name, distinguished as an engineer and as a philanthropist of broad vision, has spent almost the en- tire Summer at Montecattini, the love! spa of Tuscany. The principal attrac tion to this shrewd observer of ho things move in every part of the world is to meet celebritles this Summer, eminent musicians and members of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Signor Tullio Serafin, who has been conduct- ing an orchestra at Munich’s Mozdrt and Wagner festivals, has been at Mon- teccattini since the middle of August. He is Tuscan born, in the ancient city of Lucca, but often several seasons pass without affording him time for a visit to the homeland. Mr. Guggenheim, like all prominent Gothamites, is solicitous over the future of opera and has spent much of his time getting the opinions of famous singers and con- ductors on this subjecet. The President of Switzerland and Mme. Jay M. Musy passed July and August in the Italian spa, very simple folks, mingling with the international group as easily as the non-official unknown visitor. Sir Charles. and Lady Mendl, the latter formerly Elsie de Wolfe, and the emi- nent British flyer, the Duchess of Leeds, like Mr. Guggenheim, spert many weeks at this renowned resort. o ox % t | the e Mr. Willlam C.

Y Mr. Richard Ford, whose engagement to Miss Mildred Caroline Core of Fort City, Pa, was recently announced, is a great-grandson of that veteran dip- Jomat and traveler who went to Spain in the foreign service of Great Britain when the nineteenth century was in its first quarter. This Richard Ford was a native of Exeter, England, born in that lovely cathedral city in 1796. He went to Madrid in the train of a special ambassador, and having served on this occasion he spent months in traveling through the Iberian Penin- sula with the result that his volume, o idbook for Travelers in Spain,” in various editions, to time beginning in 1845, is a ploneer among such publications and has never been surpassed for ripeness of knowledge and for kindly wit and humor. Grad- ually the fine old volume became re- duced in size because of the Murray publications on traveling everywhere, and the vogue of the Baedeckers, which began in the 181 It was a son of this accomplished author whose writ- ings are said to have inspired the first visit of Washington Irving, the second Richard Ford, who emigrated to this republic. His son went to Linwood, ‘Tex., and is the father of the promis- ing ung diplomatist, Richard Ford, 4th, for several years consul of the ro- mantic city of Beville, so fascinatingly described by his grandsire. Former Consul Ford is now in the administra- tive division of the Department of State. This Richard has added gracefully to the literature about Spain written in English, and he is about to publish a book which will present the land of the hidalgos as it is a hundred years gtl’loekr his great-grandfather’s excellent * kX % ‘When Marshall Field, Mrs. Dudley Coats and announced his future residence in England the im- mediate family of Chicago’s merchant princes has become expatriated to a degree almost comparable to that of 9AM.to 6P.M. 3d, married | 1930—PART THREE.
