Archibald Butt, ichokes were introduced to diners- out in the Capital during the service of Willilam Howard Taft as Secretary of War. According to that observant chronicler, there were so few who un- derstood how to eat artichokes in 1907 that Mrs. Taft was advised for the good of all concerned to remove this novelty from the ‘menu. . Many the sticky fungus was the edible part and others instead of eating the of the leaf, tried to consume the whole, as they ‘would lettuce. Now artichokes may be purchased from any fancy grocer an their proper consumption is as well known as it is how to partake of as- paragus tips. Texans brought the alli- gator pear to the Capital almost 50 years ago and, with the advent of cold Store-2, it became the popular salad for spec occazions among all the denizens of th: Southwest and in the acjacent Latin American republics. x ok k% The Duke of York and his sprightly Eime SR ed the International Poul n- oo a few weeks ago In the Crystal in London. ’Lisbeth, as the peo- ple love to call this charming little 1, showed such a delighted interest grlhe various exhibits that gifts of pedigreed hens have come to her from every clime.

He proposes to transport his treasuse piecemeal and gét it assembled in time for exhibit at the Chicago Fair. ' This room has a de- cided American flavor, since it came from the grand old castle of the Barons Fairfax, “Cilding,” in Yorkshire, and was prepared by Sir William Fairfax in 1585 | in order to receive a vist from Queen | Elizabeth. Cilding Castle was long ago abandoned as a residence, and the pres- | ent Lord Fairfax, who is & Virginian by | birth and a citizen of the Old Dominion until he revived the family honors, has not the purpose to restore it to ancient . It is a tremendous pile, equaling Kenilworth in dimensions, but in & much better state of repair. Al fax sought the New World a caretaker has kept vandals from despolling' the mansion, and Mr. Vernay found this long-sought treasure in perfect condi- tion. The room is 40 fect long and 20 | wide and has a ceiling height of 15 feet. | It is the most perfect example of old oak paneling now extant, and the walls | are finished with a frieze on which are | 443 carved coats of arms of prominent Yorkshire gentlemen of the time. Tra- dition has it, and there are seven empty shields to prove it, that Queen Bess ob- Jjected to honoring seven of the company chosen and had their armorial bearings destroyed before she would occupy the chamber. * ok o % Countess Carl von Molkte, well re- membered in Washington as wife of the Danish minister who succeeded M.

Count von Molkte deserted diplomacy after leaving Wash- ington almost 20 years ago and went into politics. He was premier of his country for several terms as a leader of the powerful Socialists of Denmark. He retired about five years ago and now devdtes his leisure to & fine and spa- cious farm in Holsteln. The countess makes an annual visit to her former home usually—as in this instance—in the late Autumn and frequently takes a brief glance at the home she had in Washington when her husband was the envoy from Denmark, now the Lithu: anian legation, on Sixteenth street. * ok ok X ‘The Governor-elect of Pennsylvania and Mrs. Pinchot are spending some quiet days at Grey Towers, near Mil- ford, their secluded country place, and their only activity has been to receive the hordes of visitors from all over gratulations. Mr. and Mrs. have the friendship and sd.mlnu;)n of larm- er is made welcome to a talk over his problems, while the numerous orchard- ists thereabout are constant visitors of the former forester. Ever since Mr. Pinchot established his home at Grey ‘Towers, and particularly after his mar- riage, he has made September 4 a pic- nic day, when from all over the county the farmers and their families come and spend the day. The last celebration was noteworthy in that practically the entire county rallied about the standard of the Governor. Hospitality is ar- ranged along easy lines, and if the rural visitors are shy and do not care to par- take of & bountiful meal served at the numerous long tables, there are neatly packed baskets in readiness, containing all that is served on the table and plenty of small tables and chairs where they can be by themselves. Young Gifford attends to the baskets and places the family groups comfortably, while Mr. Pinchot sits at the head of the longest table and Mrs. Pinchot at another and different members of the famiiy at the others, After the luncheon this past September there was a vaude- v s CREERON romtr e 614 12th St. N.W. 4 Days’ Clearance Sale Choice of the ! . .
