With the departure Of the President

closing Of nearly all OF the embassies,
the scene Of social activity has shifted to
the Northern resorts, mostly along the
picturesque shore OF Massachusetts, with
Bar Harbor, as always, a rendezvous for
smart Washingtonians.
The Maine resorts are specially inter
ested just now in vegetarianism. as pre-
scribed by Mrs. Bryce, wife OF the Brit
ish Ambassador, and Mrs John B. Hem
derson. wife of the former Senator from

first society woman in Washington To
abandon animal food even az her formal
dinner Parties. In this she was ably sec
onded by Mrs. Beach Grant. so long az
Mrs. Grant remained a resident OF Wash
ington. II Is largely due TO Mrs. Hender-
sons influence that Mrs. Bryce has been
won over. although Mrs Bryce Is quite
conservative and Mrs. Henderson IS 4
radical vegetarian. Mrs. Bryce, il Is said.
has not yet discarded meat at her dinner
parties: but Mrs. Henderson, one OF the
most constant and dlligent dinner-givers.
never serves animal food for any occa-
sion. And at that, It is also a fact that

until told. as she has a special vege-
tartan cook, who creates dishes IN such
perfect imitation OF meats that only the
epicure can tell.
