SOCIETY.. About Well-Known Folk In Books, Art, Politics Mr. Bernard M. Baruch Present at Recent “Off the Record” Luncheon Which Took Place in London. BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. FORTNIGHT ago a famous meeting took place in London, A when four distinguished men just now particularly prom- inent in world affairs sat down at luncheon to discuss in a friendly, unofficial way the British war debt to the United States, tariffs, currency and disarmament. Everything was off the record and it was not discovered until sometime afterward that Mr. Bernard Mannes Baruch Mr. Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of England; Sir John Simon, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and that mirror of fashion and mold of form—designated by the French press as the best dressed statesman in Europe—Capt. Robert An- thony Eden, England’s young Foreign Secretary, who has not yet reached his 40th year, had lunched together and discussed mo- mentous problems affecting not only the United States, and the British Empire, but all Europe as well. It is a rather significant and interesting coincidence that three of those men, either by birth or Mr. Baruch, who looks more like a contact, are related to America. philanhropist than an outstand- ing New York wizard of finance and who is reported to be unoffi- cially representing this country, is an American by birth, the son of Dr. Simon B. Baruch, a surgeon in the Confederate States Army and much beloved by the South. England’s new Prime Minister, who is the son of the late Sir Joseph Chamberlain, is the stepson of Miss Endicott of Salem, Mas married his father when her father was Secretary of Navy in the first cabinet of President Cleveland. while Capt. Eden is the son of Sir William Eden, seventh Baron of West Auck- | land and fifth baronet of Maryland. He is the descendant of a former Gov- ernor of “the Province of Maryland, | " who was created a auspicious year, 1776. Capt. Eden is said to take a special in- terest in his Maryland connection and has been heard to say that one of his | cherished ambitions is to visit there. | This he had hoped to do after the World War, when on his way through Canada to Australia. By the way, two of Capt. Eden's brothers were killed in the World War. John, lieutenant in the 12th Lancers, | killed in action in France: William | Nicholas, midshipman, killed at the | battle of Jutland. while his eldest brother, Timothy Calvert, eighth and present baronet, was a prisoner at Ruhleben, Germany. Capt. Eden him- | &elf had rather an enviable war record | as a lieutenant in the King's Royal Rifle Corps, and was decorated on the | fleld of battle in Flanders, then pro- moted to captain Of the Eden family, Burke's Peer- age states that “all Eden descendants of either sex are counts and countesses of the Holy Roman Empire created by Rudolph II in 1595.” In the armorial bearings of this old aristocratic family are emblazoned sheaves signifying #uccess, fortune and prosperity. Their motto is “Si Sit Prudentia”—be pru- dent. Miss Baruch Complimented by President Roosevelt. It seemed quite fitting and a pretty compliment that Mr. Baruch's daugt ter, Miss Belle Wilcox Baruch, was designated by President Roosevelt to | press the button last Sunday which | sent Old Glory gallantly streaming to the top of the granite shaft at Mont- faucon, France, which is America’s tribute to the men of the two repub- lics who fell in the Meuse-Argonne of- | fensive in the World War, for it was her father who as chairman of the ‘War Industries Board was instrumen- tal in providing the material resources | for that great and gallant offensive in which the lives of thousands of Ameri- can youth were sacrificed. Barney Baruch, as he is affection- ately called by his friends, gave un- | selfish and untiring service to his country in the war, being one of the most trusted of President Wilson's ad- visers. He was with him part of the time at the Peace Conference, was eco- nomic adviser for the American Peace Commission, member of the President's Conference and of the President’s Agri- cultural Conference in 1922. Mr. Wilson gave him the D. S. M. He was made a Commander Order of Leopold for his work in Belgium, Commander Legion of Honor, France, and Com- mander St. Maurizio and Lazzaro, Italy. His interest in international af- fairs is evidenced by his donation of funds for the International Institute of Politics of Willia: College. Of the WHETHER whos men with whom he is conferring in Europe at present, with the excepticn of Premier Chamberlain and Sir John Simon, he is older. The situation he is supposed to be discussing at present is like an open book to him, backed by experience. Ambassador Bullitt Knight Of Wine Tasting. If Mr. William C. Bullitt. American Ambassador to France, had worn his gorgeous robes of red and ermine and his square hat when he presided at the recent unveiling of the monument at | resentative has less of an English ac- | compared with that of a violin of the | Montfaucon, he certainly would have | cent and more of a Georgia—the State | seventeentli or early eighteenth cen- | outshone Gen, Pershing and Marshal | of her Petain and the whole French Army es & “Knight of Wine Tasting”—a tribute to his epicurean taste in the wines ot France. The order of knighthood was conferred upon him by the Wine Bib- bers’ Association of the famous Bur- gundy vineyards. As a newspaper correspondent Mr. Bullitt spent much time in France and is one of the most popular diplomats the States has sent to that republic. Mr. Edward Keating Gives the Gallery a Treat. Speaking of sartorial elegance: Mr. Edward Keating, who doubtless thought himself beautifully incog. as he sat in the public gallery of the House one day last week arrayed like one of “these” in spotless white with a Bond Street hall-mark appearance and a healthy color in his face as il he had just emerged from a Turkish bath, deceived himself, for the people’s | gallery takes friendly cognizance of its neighbors and is not used to so much elegance. The editor of Labor— that labor organ that counts its sub- scribers in seven figures—shortly de- scended to the floor of the House where, as a former member of Con- gress from the rich State of Colorado. | | he has the courtesy. He surely gave the ladies of the House a treat; and was it imagination or real. that the wrangling over the labor bill, which was going on down there slackened a bit as he emerged? These sultry dog days are trying on the members and linen suits usually have a pathetic look as the day advances. Representative Rogers Wears | Aristocratic Orchids. There sat Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, as dainty as could be in a white frock whose waist had a red zipper down the front and an aris- tocratic orchid on the shoulder. Rep- resentative Jenckes was in white, while the member at large from the great State of New York was in modest blue.

Curopean Royalty | Goes Democratic. y A tourist in Holland writes that the | 800 American Boy Scouts who led the opening procession of the World Jam- boree in Holland last week were thrilled by the way Queen Wilhelmina | reviewed them and were surprised to see & scouting insignia on her coat. | It was explained that it belonged to her late husband. She stood while the monster parade of 28,000 Scou's from all over the world filed by. Euro- | pean monarchs are growing daily more democratic and literally give the glad hand to all whom they meet | —something unheard of in the Vic- | torian period. Juliana, the heir-ap- parent to the Dutch throne, shortly after her marriage emancipated her- self and now goes constantly among her people in the most democratic manner. When she first frequented ! night clubs there was a gasp of con- sternation, and then whole-hearted approval. She is now frequently seen with her handsome husband at the club bars taking them straight and mixed. No one intrudes upon her. Tidewater Virginia Violins With Famous Labels. In writing recently of the musical instruments in the National Museum, there was not room to mention an un- | usual collection of violins which came largely from Tidewater Virginia and were made m France and Italy, anti- dating the War Beiween the States Some of these violins, which the cura- | tor, Mr. Krieger, says are undoubt- edly copies, have the labels of the master makers of Cremona, Italy, and the Tyrol, South Austria.
