THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, OCTOBER 12, 1930—PART THREE. Tales of Well Known Folk | In Soci‘zil fld Official Life Chief Justice Hughes, Classed as Base Ball Fan, Often Shows His Interest by Attendind League BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. | ‘The Chief Justice of the U. S. Su- | preme Court may be seen in his most | genial role as a fan at a base ball | game and he assumed this aspect very | often du the meeting of the Bar | Association in Chicago during August. Among _the spirited entertainments | Which the Lake City had waiting for the illustrious guests was a fine series of ball games, this republic’s national sport, wilh the Giants and Cubs con- tending. The Chief Justice is perhaps more intimately acquainted with the legal lights world, than is any other member of the American Bar Association, and to his care was com- mitted the entertainment and en- lightenment of Britain's eminent law- yers. Those who watched the earnest effort of Judge Hughes to arouse the enthusiasm of Lord Dunedin were sym- pathetic, in that the Briton made frantic eflorts to get all the instruc- tions straij and to enjoy seeing the opponents £ it out. But from t opening to wildly cheered cl Lord Dunedin, and indeed two-thi of the foreign guests, wore a puz: cxpression and that unmistakable look of “I wish I knew what it is all about.” This peer, Lord Dunedin, a lawyer of wide Tenoun, is the keeper of the grea seal of the principality of Scotland and a keen sportsman, with a highly developed love of cricket.

This year Mrs. Adams’ cup was won by the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, | with Miss Lorna Whittlesey and the | Misses Will in command, and this vic- tory is the third in succession for the crew from this club. Sixty women en- | tered the Cohasset Beach race and | it was noted that not one wore skirts, | but looked trim as middies in tight | trousers turned up neatly, and the most | gaudy of overalls and tams. Many of | the girls mended torn spinnakers with a palm needle in full sight of the spectators and all bent the sails on their boats, reeved sheets and left | everything snug in the harbor when | the race was over. A generation ago | Mrs. ‘Adams was aware of an effort | to have a ladies’ annex to the New | York and Newport Yacht Clubs, but long skirts and the sport did not min- gle successfully and the idea of a woman wearing “pants” would have been “scandalous” in those days. * x ¥ & Mrs. Henry Bacon, widow of the emi- | nent architect who designed the Lincoln Memorial, has for some years made her home on 'the Dardanelies, within a few hours' motor journey from what until a | few vears ngo was presumed to be the mythical site of famous_Troy, scene of the Homeric poem-dramas.

For in fighting the Mohawks, Sir Peter received 3,000 acres in the Mo- hawk Valley and he had already a long strip of land in the shipping district of New York City. This he called Greenwich, but why, no one has yet been able to explain, since the Warrens were from Liverpool, and Greenwich is near, London. The property had be- longed to Augustus Jay and although Lady Warren's regime in the big brick mansion—still standing—was_brilliant, ce was called the Jay house. Sir William Johnson eventually inherited this property and immediately pro- claimed the name as Greenwich, for the village had yet to grow. ok Mr. and Mrs. Charles Deering of Chicago have a sumptuous domain in Mizmi, Fla., which is the center of hospitality for Chicagoans, who are | looking for a permanent.habitation or merely passing _through ~‘the State. During the past Summer Mr. and Mrs. Deering leased a spacious villa on the hills just above Nuremberg and fol- lowed a similar program in regard to their friends. Like may other music- loving Chicagoans, they were attracted to Bavaria by the Wagner and Mozart concert and opera festivals, and they would naturally have preferred a chateau nearer to Munich. But the Bavarian capital during the Season of the Passion Play is 100-erowded for comfort, and every available dwelling had been rented a year in advance. So the Deerings sought and found com- fort in Nuremburg, and many natives of the Lake City found shelter in their roomy quarters while they explored the couniryside for a cottage which would serve for a few weeks. Splendid motor roads lead to Munich, and an early tart would bring the visitors to Ober ammergau by 8 o'clotk when the P: sion Play begins and to Munich when the opera was the attraction in ample time for the rising curtain at 4 in the afternoon. incess Viggo of Den- mark, formi Margaret Greene of New York entertained scores of New York f 10 were crowded | out of Munich in her villa adjacent to ish republic, has a notable day country, in that on ree giving Turkish women over 21 years the right to take part in municipal affairs—to vote and to run for office.
