It was at the invitation of King Edward VII in 1908 that Albert Kirby Fairfax, born in Northampton County, Va., though at the time a resident of Maryland, gave up his desk at Brown Brothers & Co. in New York and went to England to wage a fight for his English rights and reclaim his title as twelfth baron of the Fairfax line. The Peerage was created in 1627, the second baron fought with Cromwell at Marston Moor and the sizth baron came to America in 1747 settling in Virginia where the present baron was born in the territory which now bears the name of Fairfar. In America the Fair- Jazes resided in an unbroken line until the twelfth baron ar- rived in London in 1908. When this shy young American appeared in England Mr. Whitelaw Reid was the United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James. He had had to make a momentous decision—to Jive up his American citizenship—for it was up to him to carry on the family name which had stood for so much through all the early days of American and English history. Every one in our Embassy became very fond of Lord Fairfax and watched with pride his career. It was not long before he took his seat in the House of Lords, one of the first Americans to sit with that august body. The last time we were in England we had the pleasure of lunching with Lady Fairfax in their beautiful London house and seeing the baby, The Hon. Thomas Bryan McKelvie, who is now probably a strapping young man. Lady Fairfar was before her marriage Maud Wishart McKelvie of Duckyls Park, East Grinstead. Sussex, England. She is very attractive with a quiet gentle manner and is a most delightful hostess. The many friends and relations of Lord Fairfax look forward to these fleeting visits in America and there is always a great deal of quiet entertaining in their honor. Tomorrow night the Un- dersecretary of State and Mrs. Sumner Welles are giving a dinner for the visitors and like all dinners at Oxon Hill it will be a de- lightful evening. AND BY THE WAY, recently one of our friends came home after a long week-end trip and found her telephone pad quite covered with messages of one kind or another. Some she read and understood though to be sure all were a bit strange, but she figured them out after due thought. One, however, stumped her completely, and we can't say that we are surprised. It read as follows, “Belzy, Hon. Leg.” It materialized eventually that Belzy stood for Mr. Anthony de Balasy, and then of course it was quite clear that Hon. Leg. stood for the Hungarian Legation. All very simple indeed! Suburban Social Notes Mr. and Mrs. Ramsdell and Their Daugh- ters Return From Motor Trip. R. AND MRS. HOBART H. Dinger.
