SOME WASHINGTON PLANS


Attorney General Harmon's family is at
present at 1.-The Bluffs" Bay Head N. j.,
and will go from there to White Sulphur
later along in the month The all-import-
ant subject of a house here is as yet rnde-
cided though Mrs. Harmon gave consider
able attention to looking over the avail
able residences of the West End during
her late visit. She Is almost total
stranger to the official families, and has no
acouaintances at all even in the cabinet
circle. excepting Mrs. Lamont, for whom
she entertains the highest regard. The
Harmons have lived elegantly without max
ing any pretensions to dash, and it is said
that the salary of the Attorney General is
about one-third of what he earned by the
practice of his profession. Miss Harmon
will be a delightful aid to her mother in
her social duties. A Younger daughter Is
still a school girl, and the eldest is mar
red and resides in Philadelphia. MIS-. Mar
mon is a fine-looking woman, who dresses
well; Is good conversationalist, and has
a very cordial manner in addressing even
an entire stranger The family will certain
ly be a decided acquisition to the caDlnet
circle.
The hotels at Newport and vicinity are
doing a big business. At NarraganSett
Pier, where the gayety is OF much more
nrOnOunCed
be had in the best hotels at any, price, ana
lodg ngs in less notable Eeighboraoods have
to answer the fashionable demand But
the fun they are having Is worth it. with
the Astors mother and son, entertaining;
Mrs, Alva Vanderbilt, the mistress of the
marble palace, and MIR. and Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt. both making their aanghterS
first American seasons memorable by all
k,rds of hosp:table diversions; the Br,ces
and all the rest of the lesser lights putting
in a date now and thsA, with steady run
of Casino and County Club dances, -he high
water mark will soon be reachen. but
both at Bar Harbor as we'll as Newport
the changes are played every day on the
same string of names, many Of when, SO
far as the Wash.ngtonianS are concerned
seem to be taking more interest IN tne
amusements than they do at home. 1t Will
| not be long before there will be just as
much formality at Bar Harbor as with her
| oder rival on the Atlantic Life at New
port is precisely what II Is IN the same
| set in New York, varied only by few CPS

The Turkish minister, Mavroyeni Bey,
! or Navy" for short, Is on his annual
starring tour. No foreign attraction can
compete with this Interesting gentleman
and diplomat from June 10 to OCTOBER L.
and very few try. 1t has been ill-naturedly
/, rged that he never entsrtains here as ne
does during the summer months at Bar
| Harbor, to which PLACE he Is devotedly at
tached, and where he reigns pre-eminent
as delightful host when the gayettes are
| at their height This summer he misses
the companionship of his friend, Frederick
| Diudati Tho mpson, who isrhobnobb1ng with
| Nicholas l, Prince of Montenegro. prob
ably with an idea of writing another book
| of travel about that country. The edition
| de luxe of his first work, which he sent to
| the Crank Turk. brought back from that
| potentate grand order 'of something OF
other, way high up in royal bestowal.
| Mavroyeni has things all his own way,
| therefore, at Bar Harbort and appears to
| be making proper USE of every advantage.
His dinners and dances are attended by the
| wealthiest of the residents, and mainly, of
course, by the Washington and New York
element. His picnics are charming and
numerous, and altogether he is leaving no
stone unturred to reciprocate the courtesies
shown him. One of his latest banduets
| was in hcror of Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob
Astor, who are cruising on their yacht and
| were making short stay on Mt Desert.
What a little place the world is, after
all. Here it only seems few weeks ago
| when Mr.. Charles DENLY was here, then

CT the Honeymoon spent in this city, and
now comes the story across the Pacific OF
the presentation of the young couple to the
| Chinese emperor, and afterward to the en-
press, this latter ceremony taking place in
her private apartments. Mrs. DENLY was
Miss Orr of Evansville. Ind, and met her
husband in Pekin. last year, while travel

Mr. DENLY has been secretary of the
