Sweeneys are to be congratulated upon the birth of & son, born Wednesday at Garfield Hospital. The baby is to be named Thomas Bell Sweeney, 3d, after his grandfather. Mrs. Sweeney before her marriage | was Alicia Rodgers, daughter of Mrs. Philip O.

This nice piece of news came to us yesterday at the Community Chest luncheon at the Willard, from the proud step-grandfather, Mr. Cofiin, captain of team A-2, who dashed off immediately after the meet- ing to West Virginia on business. It hardly seems possible that Mrs, Cofin can be a grandmother, but that's that! * ¥ % x N Thanksgiving day there will arrive in Washington to visit Clarence Hewes for a week, one of the most delightful couples in London—The Hon. Edward and Lady Katherine Bigham. Edward Bigham is the son and heir of Viscount Mersey of Bignor Park. This past Summer Bussie Hewes visited Lord and Lady Mersey at their beautiful old estate Bignor Park, Pulsborough, Sussez, and it was during this visit that the plans were formulated for the Bighams to include Wdshington in their itinerary. Lady Katherine, formerly Lady Katherine Fitzmaurige, is the daughter of the sixth Marquis of Lansdowne and sister of the present Marquis. She is also & nfece of the Duchess of Sutherland and the Duchess of St. Albans, We are all looking forward to meeting these visitors as hear they are very gay and interested in all kinds of different subjects. They will probably know a great deal more about America after their visit than the average American! The English particularly love to delve into American life from all angles, which, after all is the only intelligent way to get a fair picture of any country. Lady Katherine's cousin, Lady Maude Macintosh, will be remem- bered here from war days when her late husband, Capt. Angus Mac- intosh, was military attache of the British Embassy and whose death from influenza in 1918 was a tragedy to their many devoted friends. Quite naturally, Clarence Hewes, is full of plans for entertaining the Bighams and, fortunately, they will be here during the gay Thanksgiving holi- days—one of the nicest times of the year. x ok x ¥ MR. AND MRS. STEPHEN H. P. PELL are arriving this afternoon to spend the week end with their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Thompson Pell.
