SOCIAL AND PERSONAL,

Sir Julian Pauncefote has selected Pc
quot. Conn. as the place for the Summer
embassy this season, much 10 the regret
of the residents Of Newport, who have
been counting upon the presence of the
British Ambassador and his diplomatic
staff as an additional attraction for that
famous resort. It is said that an attempt
was made year OF so ago by a number
of those who owned homes at Newport to
arrange some scheme for purchasing
ground and erecting thereon a villa to be
presented to the British government, with
the provision that il was TO be the per-
manent Summer headquarters of the gov
ernment here. Perhaps the ambassador
gave the opagators of the plan an in
umation that he preferred TO be unham-
pered In his selection OF his Summer hol-
iday goings and comings, or perhaps,
again; the plan died out, as plans are
given TO doing now and then. AT all
events the movement died out and has
never been revived. Pequot is pictur-
esque and breezy spot not so far from
New London, and those familiar with the
place and its health-giving advantages
consider that Sir Julian is 10 be congrat-
ulated upon his selection of his Summer
home.
