BARRON DU BOIS with their daughter Kitty are back at their house on Rowland place after spending the Summer at Marblehead, Mass. Every one will be glad to know that Mrs. Du Bois is in the very best of health after a siege of not feeling too well last Spring and Summer. Kitty Du Bois had a very fine Summer this year and gave the Atlantic Coast a break, taking in among other gay spots Newport and Bar Harbor. Last year it will be remembered that she went to England, where she stopped with the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, who again invited her to the British Isles this year to attend the coronation and all the gay outings in and near London, but she could not make it. The Countess of Shrewsbury and Kitty went to school to- gether two years ago in Florence, Italy. b The twenty-first Earl of Shrewsbury is very young, born in 1914 | to be exact, though his name, John George Charles Henry Alton Alexander Chetwynd Chetwynd-Talbot, with all the ramifications of an earldom added to it might imply that he is an old man with a long, gray beard! When seeing that he is furthermore a god son of their majesties Queen Mary and the late King George V and has two addresses, one Ingestre, Stafford, and the other Alton ‘Towers, Stoke on Trent, we breath a sigh of relief that we are not writing a column for an English newspaper. Just imagine if society columnists had to cope with names such as the above mentioned when writing up an informal cocktail party, not to mention cover- ing an official gathering at the Executive Mansion. It was at Alton Towers that Kitty visited last year and apparently the estate is perfect in every respect and every- thing that a British country ‘plgci should be. * WELL, Graciela or rather Chella as she is fondly called, and g Marta Trucco, daughters of the Chilean Ambassador, are off for a big time in New York. There they are going to procure Chella’s trouseau—it is interesting to note that they are “buying North American.” Chella’s engagement to Fernando Illanes Benitez, former secretary of the Chilean Embassy and now Vice Consul in New York, was announced by the Ambassador September 24. The Senoritas Trucco will be gone for at least 10 days and will have themselves -a whirl between shopping and taking in the town of New York with a little gay night life thrown in—no doubt. While these two young ladies are galavanting about there, sister Becca will hold the fort, so to speak, at the Embassy with the aid of Olga Patterson, daughter of the late former Cuban Ambassador, who was much beloved here. Olga Patterson’s sister, Mrs. Ernest Schlatter, wife of the attache of the Swiss Legation, is in the throes of house hunting and is being ably assisted in that exhausting job by Becca and Olga.
