taInments This Summer

London, May 21.-(special.)-Mr Andrew
Carnegie and former President Roosevelt
will meet at the annual meeting of the
Peace society at the Guildhall on Tues
day. This will be the formal meeting of
these two famous advocates of worlds
peace. Mr.. Carnegie will make a speech
but 1t is not certain yet whether Mr..
| Roosevelt can be induced to say a few
| words to advance the cause. 1t is be-
lieved he could If he, would make some
extremely interesting statements as to the

| Of the leaders of the peace movement, the
former President will probably give the
result of his talks with the Kaiser, Pres
ident Fallieres, King Victor and the
Emperor Francis Joseph, but it is hardly
likely the public will be taken into his
confidence at this time.
! The impression is strong here that Mr..
| Roosevelt will head the American deega-
ton to the next Hague conference. 1t is
believe if he should be rendered and
accept this appointment he would be the
| dominant force in the conference and
| would be able to do more than any other
single man to advance the cause of the
| peace of the world.
! Mr.. Roosevelt has accepted the offer
| of the Cambridge union to be made an
| honorary member of that society. He is
not the first citizen of the United States
| to be thus honored, for included in the
| small and distinguished list of honorary
| members of the union Is the name of
| Oliver Wendell Holmes. The last to be
| admitted was Lord Kitchener on his re-
turn from the Sudan campaign.
The American invasion of London this
| season will be of exceptional Importance
owing to the number of wives of multi
milionaires who are expected to entertain
on lavish scale. Great Cumberland
place Is literally turned into an American
colony, so numerous are the houses let
| to Transatlantic visitors there. A num-
Der of we'll known English houses have
| fallen into American hands, and it Is
expected that the display of diamonds
made by these ladies will add consider
| ably to the brilliance of London func-
tons. From all parts come the dollar
queens, among them Mrs. w. Graham
| from California, Mrs. Jordan Mott, with
piles of dollars, from New York, who has
secured Mrs. CORVALLIS VESTS house,
| and Mrs. William Leeds the widow of
/ a multi-millionaire. The Duchess Of Rox-
| burghe will be in Chesterfield house;
Lady Granard. young, beautiful and one
| of the best dressed women in Europe,
| has got Forbes house. Mrs French Van
| derbilt brings some millions to spend In
Brook street. while Mrs. J. ]. Aston will
| be not far off In Hill street. Mrs. Walter
g..
don house for the season, and 1T Is expect
ed she will settle in the charming resi-
dence of a we'll known English family.
Mr. Pierpont Morgans splendid COL
lection of old German silver has been
removed from GLASGOW Art gallery to the
| Victoria and Albert museum, South Ken
sington, to give residents in London an
! opportunity to study it.
| Last year was the year of the flying
man. This year is the year of the fly
| ing woman.
Four flying weeks" have been ar
ranged to take place during the summer
Of 1910 in England, and at each of them,
It is expected at least one woman aviator
will be seen.
| 1t is a matter of money with most of
them. The fees paid to the ordinary male
aviator are sufficiently tempting. But
| the nTSl Few women dFldlOTb QudiiueO W
| nv In public for exhibition purposes will
be able to demand almost any sums they
choose.
| Already some scores of them are learn
| ing to fly, or trying to learn, and some
| Ave or six have succeeded. One of these,
Miss Spencer Kavanagh, is an English
woman. The others are all French
| women.
| Amongst the latter is the Baroness de
| la Roche, who was the first woman to
fly. She handles big Voisin biplane with
great skill and courage. Two other quail
fled flying women, Mile. Aboukaia and
Mile. Ditrieu, soar gracefully aloft In
dainty little "demoiselle monoplanes,
which look, when in the air, not unlike
monstrous dragon flies with gossamer
wings outspread.
| The presence of either of these ladies,
at. say, Bournemouth next July, would
alone insure the success Of that much
doomed aviation meeting; for in the eyes
| of the crowd a monoplane, even when
flown by a man, is always more attrac-
| tive than is q biplane, while of course,
the attraction would be greatly enhanced
| in the case of one flown by woman.
