BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Not uncomplimentary to absentees of official Washintgon, be said to be far more interesting out of season than in, this pleasant state being begot of the informality and close-up connections impossible during an over- crowded period when the great and near great are called upon many times both day and night to take part in the formal program. Now one meets at Chevy Chase and other country clubs both diplomats and officials at close range. Mme. de Laboulaye, wife of the Prench Ambassador, for instance, dons simple Midsummer dress and hat and hies her to the Chevy Chase Club, ‘where, on the famous links, over which many Presidents, including President “Taft, have played, takes with her her daughters and initiates them into the great Scottish game on American soil society may Mile, Maria Teresa de Laboulaye and Mile.

Veverka and their daughters from their quarters at Bethany Beach, a simple Summer re- sort on the Delaware coast, to Wash- ington as a start on the first leg of their journey to the Chicago Century of Progress Exp n, for which place they left yesterday. The Minister made & thorough search for a Summer home gor himself and his staff and finally 2 president selected Bethany Beach, a Christian | Church resort, as being best adapted | | edition. to his requirements.

Drexler of Pittsburgh, and not only the Minister, but his staff, are known to fishermen along the coast. They find the surf bathing just to their liking and they have Corporation Counsel William W. Bride and family as neighbors. Mme. Sul will rejoin them. The Minister is getting a good laugh at the expense of the natives and older residents, who, mistaking his title of diplomatic rank as belonging to the . became quite excited when on & Sunday morning he was missing from his pew in the tabernacle or pavilion where church services are regularly held An investigation led to the beach, where it was reported that not only the Min- ister, but his entire family, were knee- | deep in the surf and enjoying them- selves enormously.
