He will go to London and other capitals. The justice was Attorney General in the Wilson administration for one vear before he was appointed to the Supreme Court bench, Mr. Mc- Reynolds is a Kentuckian by birth, and as & bachelor is one of the most popular and most sought for dinner guests in society.

One of his fancies was taking dinner with her at least once a week, and generally showing the cook how dish. Society was resting last week when along came the buzzing, exciting middies from the Brazilian training ship, Almirante Seidanha, and just as the ship's officers caused a ripple in diplomatic and social circles the| week before, so the seafaring young- sters made it lively last week for the vounger element of society as well as for the more staid branches, diplo- matie, military and civil. The ship’s officer, Comdr. Durval de Oliviera Teixeira, who made such a nice im- pression on his first visit, was wel- comed like an old friend. Admiral William H. Standley, the former be- ing the chief of Naval Operations, and Mrs. Standley, the hosts, enter- ing into the spirit of the party with delightful verve, invited a lot of girls who in their dainty Summer attire created no end of interest and admira- tion among the midshipmen and young officers. When Dr. and Mrs. Frank Bohn, the latter the former Miss Grace Roper, sailed from New York yester- day to spend the Summer abroed, they found their state suite on ship- board fairly filled with lovely flowers and some rare but light.reading mat- ter. A mistaken surmise sent Dr. and Mrs. Bohn to New York to live on their return from Europe. In- stead, they will return to Washing- ton for residence. She again will take up her work for Town Hall, and, be it. said, Mrs. Bohn has developed into a graceful speaker, though she takes | but little part in the actual programs of the meetings.
