Washington, d. c., June 26.-Mrs.
Roosevelt has exercised a woman's
privilege and changed her mind"
about remaining in the White House as
long as the President is Obliged to. Her
desire to stay still holds good, but re-
ports from oyster Bay indicate that
the irrepressible little Roosevelts are
running rather too wild without the
presence of either parents or their cid
er sister. Mrs. Roosevelt left yester-
day, to remain away until autumn. To-
day she will go to New London on
beard the Sylph, to view the Harvard
Yale boat race from the yacht. She
viii be accompanied by a small party
of friends and joined for the day by
Miss AliCc Roosevelt. The latter will
then go tc Pennington, Conn, for
long visit to her aunt, Mrs, Cowles.
AT present Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Root
are the only absentees among the cab
met women, the former being in Iowa,
where her oldest daughter was last
week graduated from college; and the
latter at the family home in Clinton,
N. Y, where Mr.. Elihu Root, Jr., took
his degree from Hamilton College last
Thursday. Mrs. Shaw and the Misses
Shaw are expected in Washington this
week, for a short stay at their Massa
chusetts avenue home, before sailing
on July a. to spend the summer in Eu-
rope. Mrs. Root and Miss Root will
not return to Washington until au-
tumn, but have not yet decided wheth-
er or not they will so to Europe for
two or three months.
The Attorney General and Mrs.
Knox will leave for Prides' Crossing,
Mass, on Saturday of this week.
They have taken a large house there
and the family will remain all sum
mer, entertaining many guests. Miss
Knox and her youngest brother, Mas,
ter Phil, who are now at Atlantic
City, will join their parents next week.
Mrs. Payne, wife of the Postmaster
General, asserts that the heat of
Washington has no terrors for her and
she means to remain here with her
husband most of the summer, in their
comfortable apartments at the Airing
ton. She goes this week to Milwau-
kee, for a brief visit.
1t is reported that Senator Hanna
has just purchased a new camp in
the Adirondacks. near Saranac Lake,
which in beauty and extent is far
ahead of any other in that historic re-
gion. The Senator and his family,
including the newly married daughter
and her husband, will go there next
week.
The chief justice of the Supreme
Court and Mrs. Fuller, who are just
now making a visit to Chicago, will
leave there this week, when Mrs. Full
Ter and her youngest daughter, Miss
Fannie Fuller, sail from New York
to spend the summer in Europe. Later
in the season Chief Justice Fuller will
go to the summer home at Sorrento,
Me.
Judge Oliver Wendell Holmes, who,
with Mrs. Holmes has been in Bos-
ton since leaving Washington, sailed
last week for a holiday abroad.
Mrs Holmes will remain at their
Beverly Farms during his absence.
Among the prominent official fami-
lies who will be missing from Wash
ington next season will be that of the
former Solicitor General and Mrs.
Richards, who, by reason of the for
mer's elevation to the bench, will re-
turn to Ohio, and make their home in
Cincinnati. Throughout their sex
years residence in Washington Judge
and Mrs. Richards have made many
warm friends, and their commodious
residence has been noted as one of the
homes in the national capital where
official hospitality, in its true Ameri-
can sense, was seen at its best. A
late addition to this interesting family
is a 6-weeks-old son, who has been
named Roland, and enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the only native Washing
tonian in the Richards family, his
brother and sister. like many former
generations of their name, having been
born in Ohio. Mrs. Richards and her
children are spending the summer at
Narragansett Pier.
Another new arrival in Washington
is a son born to Senior and Nine. Que
sada in the Cuban legation on Six
teenth street. The minister has taken
a house at Kensington, Md, for the
summer, but owing to the interesting
event the family cannot take immedi-
ate possession of it.
