Society folk in Washington" said a
ma To
would welcome the Dewey's to the
White House. They are both people of
exquisite taste and refinement, and
would do a great deal to relieve the
White House of the social stigma that has
SO long afflicted it. Mrs. Dewey would SO
supervise the invitation lists that one
would not have to rub shoulders al White
House functions with ward heeiers' and
social riff-raff. Indeed, irrespective of
political sentiments, believe that almost
every resident, temporary or otherwise, of
Washington would welcome the Admiral
and his wife to the Executive Mansion.
The Deweys are essentially the people of
the world, and know to a point the
niceties of polite society,""
KEEP OPEN LATE.
Many well-known people of Washing
ton, among them the Boardmans, the
NYallachs, the Legares, will keep open
their town houses until late this summer.
Almost all who have suburban homes

Hubbard is at Twin Oaks" and has Miss
Ida Tarbelle. Of New York, as her guest.
The Graham Bells are out at "Shan-
dons" and McLeaus at .'Friendship,"
and any number of people at Chovy
Chase The Cages will occupy the New
lands cottage there after June The
Morriams will stay at Chevy Chase Inn
for some time. The Hortsmanns go to
Deer Park in June, and the Countess
Esterhazy will summer at the same re-
sort. The Caseys will go 70 Shepards-
town, w Va, and the Heners will spend
part of the summer in upper Pennsylva-

What Washington artists think OF the
art salon mothered by Mrs. Mary F. Hen
derson, wife of the ex-senator, is beau
tifully set forth in a little pamphlet now
circulating privately and called Mrs
Henderson's Art Salon. AT previous ex-
hibitions the eligibility of exhibits has been
decided by a jury Of artists. This year
Mrs. Henderson by paying expenses and
securing room at the Corcoran Art Gal
lery, succeeded in constituting herself sole
member of the final jury. She arbitra-
rily rejected several of Mr.. Messers
finest paintings. which so angered him
that he at once withdrew the few that
had been accepted. Will H. Chandlee,
