THE SOCIAL WORLD
OF WASHINGTON
Fashionable Folk Are Every
where But at Home.
A European Summer Is the Fa-
yorite Relaxation.
The Capital Colony Is in Notable
Evidence at the Northern
Coast Resorts.

If Society could be photographed into
picture puzzle it would be exciting to find
the men and women thereof. AS far as
Washington is concerned the fashionable
world is distinctly not at home and yet
it seems the worthy army of specials who
are already on guard at the big resorts
of the country have nothing more eN-'
citing to telegraph just yet than gllttering
hints of the gay things that are going 10
happeu-as soon as the people come. June
gaddings are coming to be as characteris
tic of the month as June brides. 1t i,
an ideal time to make dashes to the homes
of country friends or a whirl of trip
to big cities for what some unappreciat-ye
man calls a shopping spree" But June
is fast merging into July, when doubtless
the fashionable folk of this and other cities
will materialize at their respective water
ing places. so that the band may strike up
and the summer revels begin.
There are some wise people who elect
to remain al home long enough to ex
perience hot blasts from the sun baked
streets and to feel the loneliness of board
ed houses and deserted streets, so that
they will properly realize the blessing of
contrast when they do beget themselves
TO fresh fields and pastures new.
The Fourth of July will find the last
wedding over. the last valedictory spoken,
and the last vestige of excuse for
staying in town gone-for those who can
do any better
There are several weddings set for the
Il zf of oil
most of them. as usual, to occur on We'd
nesday. Nothing else is announced TO
happen, and with the exception of garden
fetes, boating parties, and informal gath
erings. nothing is likely to happen for a
dozen weeks to come. For those who like
10 keep in touch with the world of FASH
ion the letters from the various resorts
will make mighty interesting reading for
what some other unappreciative man calls
the silly season. 1t is always satisfac-
tory to know what the Vanderbilts are
doing with themselves and how Mrs
Stuyvesant Fish gets along with those ordl-
nary folk who won't let her own the whole
OF Baileys Beach. After coming home from
a long days work. it is nothing less than
realistic for a properly balanced stay at
home to read about golf links and tennis
courts, and automobile races; and to pic
ture how lovely Miss Million must look in
her laces and chiffons. One would think
il would propagate jealousy but no one
ever seems to be affected in just that
troublesome way.

TREATY WITH SPAIN.
Negotiations for New Agreement
Between the Countries Will
Soon he Opened.

Washington, Oct. 30.-An under
standing has been reached by which ii
is expected that negotiations will be
opened soon at Madrid for u new treaty
between the United States and Spain.
This will be the last step towards com
pletely restoring the friendly relations
between the two countries. The war
with Spain swept the old treaty out OF
existence, and the only international
agreement now in existence is the peace
treaty which is confined to the events
growing out of the war, and has no
reference to commerce, navigation, ex-
tradition and other manifold relations
between nations in times of peace. The
coming negotiations will be for the
purpose of forming such treaty of
commerce, amity and friendship. The
present condition is quite anomalous,
as there is no basis on which persons
could be eXtradited from one country
to the other or for the determination
Of any commercial difference which
might arise. Fortunately there has
been no case occasioning serious diff.
ference.
