Happily-Dinners and Teas
Personal Notes.

Mrs. Roosevelt is down the Potomac river
on cruise. She boarded the Sylph nearly
two days ago and the fact did not become
known until today. The younger children
OF the family, Quentin and Archie, went
cut of Washington last night to join Mrs.
Roosevelt. Exactly when they will return
Is not known. 1t is said the trip was
recommended to Mrs. Roosevelt as proper
in view of the severe social season. DIR.
Rixey believes she will be benefited by an
absence from Washington, and knew of
better way to bring about recuperation
than saltwater journey of few days.
