ciety gossip the Tattler says: THE Brad
ley-Martins have been notably in the public
eye since they took up their residence in
England, especially in the brilliance Of all
their social undertakings. Indeed, in the
extravaganza of their entertainments they
have completely outshone the functions OF

is, OF course, an American"
A considerable number Of Americans are
taking the cure at Carlsbad, Bohemia, at
this time, prominent among whom are Mrs
Arthur Paget and Mrs. Dominguez.
This cure" by the way, has become a
serious thing, so serious that several fash
ionable people who went there for 1t have
died through failure to take proper care
OF themselves. 1t has come to such a pass
that after leaving Carlsbad many, IL not
most patients go to Switzerland to re-
cruit. There is the usual routine of bath
during the day, but in the afternoon and
at night there is a great deal Of bridge

A rumor has been industriously circulated
that Craig Wadsworth, the third secretary
Of the United States embassy in London, is
betrothed to a pretty and much admired
heiress, but the World correspondent is in
formed that such gossip has no foundation
The young woman limited at was Miss May
Goelet, who left London with her mother
very early in July-about the time, IL not
before, Mr.. Wadsworth's arrival. Mr.
Wadsworth is now living In Mrs. Adair's
beautiful house on Curzon street, but has
been over to pay a visit to Mrs. Adair in
Ireland.

The visit Of the duke and duchess of
Connaught to Mrs. Adair in ireland was
practically arranged by Mrs. Jack Leslie.

Mrs. Leslie is now a great friend of the
duchess of Connaught and a great many OF

arc arranged through her. Mrs. Leslie
was also staying with Lord and Lady Erne
when the Connaughts were there at one
time
Mrs. Arthur Paget used to be the duchess
OF Connaught's great friend, but lately there
has been something like a coldness. One
reason for this estrangement Is that the
duchess took umbrage at being invited by
Mrs. Paget to stay with her at Ascot and
subsequently finding out that It was Mr..
Thaw and not Mrs. Paget who would have
been her host. Mr.. Thaw is a wealthy
young American, who spent a lavish sum
In entertaining smart people in Par s,
London and the south France. He took
the Ascot house and asked Mrs. Paget to
invite his guests. This is not an unusual
proceeding here.
When Hebert Bishop, another rich Ameri-
can, rented Houghton, in Norfolk, IL was
Mrs Paget who invited first the king, who
then was the prince OF Wales, with large
house party, and afterward the duke OF
York, with another big smart" party
