4" HIS being the last day Of July.
and good getaway day. the
weekend is dull In Washington.
At their summer home in Bever-
" the President and his family are again
assembled. with their ideal yachting trip
a thing Of the past. Miss Taft. who was
the guest Of a schoolmate in Altoona, Pa,
has returned to Beverly. Newport will
see positive awakening this week. with
dances, cotillions. and innumerable dinner
parties. Bar Harbor probably has been
the gayest spot Of all for several weeks.
and VIII continue to be that Among the
entertainers of the week was Mrs VIII
lam f. Draper, who emerged from her
mourning sufficiently 10 be hostess at
smart dinner company for Miss Agnes
Carpenter. Of Boston. Mrs. Draper and
her debutante daughter, Miss Margaret
Draper. OF this city. are spending their
summer at Bar Harbor, instead OF going
10 Europe. The fact that Mrs. Draper
has given this dinner party and is spend
ing the summer In the Draper cottage az
Bar Harbor. in the very heart OF gayetes.
IS taken 10 mean that she viii not en-
tirely exclude herself and her attractive
young daughter from society the coming
season. Miss Draper was presented at
beautiful cotillion, when her father was
taken fatally H. and her ball was the
last function at which she appeared here.
Probably no young woman ever had such
elaborate plans made for her bow to So
ciety as had Miss Draper. and II was
particularly sad that she had 90 withdraw
from the society which she had just en-
tered. Mrs. Oliver Cromwell, whose
daughter was thrown into mourning by
the death OF her father, Just on the eve
Of her debut is doing much the same
thing for Miss Cromwell IN the cottage
which she has leased on the North Shore
for the season. They are also having
their new house here put IN readiness, (
and Will see something OF society this
season.
The midsummer visit OF Gov. and Mrs. /
Hughes TO Mr. Charles Henry Butler |
while on their house-hunting trip. was
pleasant prologue TO their removal here /
in the fall They dined each evening at /
the Chevy Chase Club. and there they |
met all Of the stay-at-homes Of their /
circle. whom they viii be likely TO see /
much OF next winter. Both Gov and /
Mrs. Hughes made many friends during /
their short stay. They are the youngest /
couple IN the Supreme Court circle and /
instead Of having a grown-up family, /
with grandchildren about them they /
have little family Of young children. |
Mrs. Hughes has n giTlish figure. and is 1
both petite and young looking. She made |
some calls Thursday afternoon. and was 1
very attractive In a gown OF soft white |
marquisette with tunic drapery Of the /
new blue shade Of chiffon cloth. With !
this she wore a large white hat with |
soft black plumes. The governor wore !
a suit Of white. with a Panama hat, and /
in their electric they looked the typical /
summer visitors. They intend to build a |
house to suit them.
Mrs. Marshall. wife Of Gen. w L. !
Marshall. and Mrs Russell Harrison,
each with her young daughter. returned
from Atlantic City and spent last week !
al their homes here. They viii leave this |
evening for the White Sulphur Springs |
TO spend a month or six weeks in that l
center OF Southern gayety. Miss Harri- |

Miss Anna POrtner. at her country place. /
Mrs Harrison and Mrs. Marshall were |
girlhOOd friends when their fathers, the /
late Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, and /
the late Senator Saunders, OF Nebraska, /

made their social debuts together. at /
tended each other at their weddings, and (
presented their daughters 20 Washington |
society together after a long separation |
and many years spent between times in /
various parts Of the country. This IS |
only one Of the charms OF Wash |
ington society. The wheel Of fate re- |
wolves in such a way as 10 bring many |
young friends back here. after years of |
separation, 10 enjoy their mature life |
together.
The summer is a particularly interest |
ing one in political matters. and every l
day there is news OF the return or failure /
to return Of Representatives and Sena- |

for the most part correct In the ex-
element Of the summer campaign in Ne |
braska, It is interesting to notice the |
name Of Mr.. Charles L. Saunders. son /
