BY SALLIE V. H. PIC One must still continue to follow Washington society over its wayward paths around the world, many still lingering in their travels abroad @nd at the resorts cn this sid>, showing un- usual langour and procrastination in breaking up their holidays. Fortunat> mortals with beautiful country or sea- shore estates will continue with their heuse parties for at least a month to come, residents of the social world, who needs must return to Washingten for business purposes, leaving as quickly as possible for cooler spots. On the Nerth Shore Mrs. Jacob L. Loose is still entertaining small parties, and just now Gen. William E. Horton for many vears the special cotillion beau of Washington, is her guest. The dimly defined chances are that the Vice Presi- dent and his sister, Mrs. Gann, will drift toward the North Shore later on. and many are lingering there in thc hope something will materializ The President’s staff of ad represented by Mr. Theodore Joslin, with Mrs. Joslin and their spent some time at Swam fore Mr. Joslin assumed his position at the Whit> House he and his family spent several Summers cn the North Shore.

The silver-tongued crator had, for instance, a way of wrapping his legs In under a ehair when sitting on the plztform and Mrs. Bryan corrected him many times for it. Bryan argued that he did not do this, | but. reso: signals from ence to Mr. Mrs. Bryan in the audi- Bry2n om the stage, she was to wipe her lips when she found him in his awkwerd position.
