The chief beauty and utility of making
ones summer plans at this time, or, at
least in announcing the same. is the very
great latitude 1t gives for a change of
mind. This privilege not being entirely
confined to the gentler sex. one need not
feel bound when billed for an active season
with the stay-at-home club to offer any
apologies if they suddenly take notion to
go to Europe. Or II. filled with enthusiasm
over the delights Of a quiet summer in the
country, they should forget all about It,
pack fourteen trunks and HE away to New
port and Bar Harbor. Still, a great many
people do make their plans for each season
six months ahead. or they would never be
able to carry them out at all. After the two
! or three weeks following Easter society be-
gins to dissntegrate, and whether its NOV
ers are chasing pleasure some place else
hereabouts or simply keeping quiet at
home, the effect is the same to the locker
on in Vanity Fair. They are gone, and
ought to be heard of elsewhere.
1T Is very safe thing to announce that
and family will be Gray Gables, and
that Mrs. Cleveland and her group Of
handsome girls Will be cozily established
| there before the June roses are In the
q great deal to do with that. however.
as 1t did last year, but Gray Gables
grows every season more and more at
tractive to its distinguished occupants,
and the greater the haste to get to it.
The Vice President and family have not
| as yet very clearly outlined Their summer
plans. Mrs. Stevenson will probably stay
here just as long as she can, so as to be
| with her husband, and the young ladies
have so many invitations for the summer
| that the only trouble will be to choose
now visiting out in Bloomington. and will
be back to spend Easter here with the
| family.
Secretary Olney will spend his vacations
with his family at his Falmouth cottage.
Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle never make
very extended absences from the city, and
are MT likely to change their plans any
| the comirg summer. Mrs. Lamont and her
| daughters always anticipate the summer
at Sorrento with great pleasure. Whether
| they go there this year or not, some of the
| time will be spent at the seaside and some
| in the C 'untry. where the Secretary will
| join them as frequently as his public duties
will permit Mrs. Hoke Smith has gone
Gown home to Atlanta, with her children,
and will remain after the Secretary returns
here. She will be lack some time in May
| to make arrangements for the summer.
| Postmaster General and Mrs. Wilson have
their CharleStow2 home all ready for them
| when the heat of the city becomes unpleas-
ant Mrs. and Miss Harmon have been
| spending the summers at Deer Park and
f'CreSsoE, but whether they will go that di-
rection this year is IS yet unsettled. Miss
Herbert had suck a charming summer of
! II last year that the temptation to go
abroad again comes in very attractive
guise. Hiss Morton will. as usual go to
her old home in Detroit, but will not de-
sert Washington until among the last of
| the official femily.
The social attractions of many of the
summer cities by the sea are Immensely en-
HANGED by the location there of the British
| embassy. Last year Newport mad that dis
| tinction, with an annex in Beverly Farms,
for 1t was there that Lord and Lady
| Cough spent the heated term. Last year
was the one when the ambassador had q
long vacation at his disposal which, natur-
| ally. he spent in his own country. but this
year he has a much shorter period, so he
may not go abroad at ALL Lady Paunee-
| fote said the other day that the plans for
the summer were not quite made yet, and
she was as yet undecided whether she
and the Misses Pauncefote would 20
abroad or remain here.
The French ambassador and Mrs. Pate
notre were abroad for four or fiv. month
| last year, SO the coming summer will be
| spent In this country. Having the advan-
tage OF cour try residence in Clifton.
they need be in no special hurry to leave
this vicinity. but Mrs. Patenotre Is anX-
| ious on account of her little daughter to be
| settled in some quiet piac. in the noun
tains or perhaps at the seashore early in
June. Lately she has been over in Phila-
delphia with her parents, who are not COLI
tent unless the baby makes them a visit at
frequent intervals.
The German ambassador and Baroness
Won Thielman divided the summer last
year between Deer Park and Lenox, and at
the latter place the baroness met so many
of her former acquaintances in Dresden
that the summer was most delightfully."-
spent. and that section will probably be
| selected again for summer residence
The Mexican minister and Mrs Romero
| are always among the last to desert the
| capital. unless tie years they go abroad.
and the probabilities are that the coming
summer will prove no exception. They
| have Travelled extensively all over this
| country and have few new fields of sum-
nier pleasure to explore, SO 1t is very likely
| in choosing a destination for the heated
| term they will return to a first love- the
seashore. with a preference Cor the Cape
May region. The Mexican colony here are
| very proud of their talented young couI-
tryman, Mr.. Morelos, who has played sew
| eral times in the ball room of the lega ton
| for Mr.. and Mrs. Romero and their friends,
| and whose skill at the piano surprises even
| those who had the best reasons to be hope
! full of his success.
The Brazilian minister and Mrs Men
donca have their fine home in the Adiron-
| dacks awaiting them and have no trouble
| therefore to decide where they will go. THIS
year. besides, they have in contenr.a ton
| an addition to the house, tower and some
other changes. which will both increase
| it's comfort as well as picturesque effect.
The Chilean minister ard family have
| spent one summer here, another at White
Sulphur and Bar Harbor, and expect the
| coming summer 20 strike he ppy medium,
| in a graphical sense. by going to Nara
gansett Pier or somewhere in its vicinity.
The charge d'affaires Of Argentina and
Mrs. Doininguez are going abroad when
| the new Argentine minister to this country
arrives here. Mr.. Dominguez has been
| transferred to Paris, and while the ex-
pressions of regret at their departure are
| mutual, Mrs. Dorninglez has lived so much
abro ad that she is just as much at home in
Paris as in her own country. Mr.. Donin-
guez and his wife are greatly liked here.
have gi1en their friends 4 great many at
tent!ons and their home has been a most
hcspitable one
The Austrian minister. Mr.. Hengelmuel-
Ter. and his wife. have returned to the
city again. and can now give their atter-
ton to the transfer Of the legation to its
splendid new home, the Yulee house, op-
posite the British embassy. Their house
| will add another to the foreign homes of
