mopolite. Travelled, Versed in the life and customs of other countries, familiar with their literature, their philosophy, their art, she makes the most entertaining of hostesses for European guests
 Over her demi-tasse today Mrs. Lud- wig remarked, out of hearing of her hostess, that she considered Mrs. Aldrich the most interesting woman that she had met in America, and she added that she had heard Minister Wu, the Chinese min ister, make a similar remark in the em- bassy in Washington some years ago.
 To a woman like Mrs Lugwig, visiting on large private estates in the southern country, holds the greatest and most in- dividual charm. The average European visiting America is forced to conhne his impressions of social life as it is pre- sented in the luxurious and exclusive hotels Americans abroad also return without any intimate knowledge of social life beyond impressions gathered from foreign hotels. It is always fortunate whenever cultured and observant Euro peans travelling or residing in America can have other opportunities for observa- ton outside of hotels and conventional cities, and that their impressions can be based upon social life on some of the lovely estates and in beautiful regions no less favored than England or France or Italy.
