Washington, September 2k-(SpeciaL)-
While society is still very dull In the

Really the season will not open until
Congress meets in December, but even

entirely assembled from their various
summer houses and visiting places, and
is busy, weeks before the official and
diplomatic entertaining has begun.
The diplomats are slow in returning
and will not be in their various embassies

According to the Presidents plans now
made, he and Mrs. Taft Will leave here
Immediately after the fall elections, ac-

The supreme court always the first
circle to reasonable in its entirety, will
be thoroughly established in winter quar-
tiers by the second Monday in October,
the constitutionally appointed date for
the fall opening OF the country's high
est tribunal. Society is on the qui vive
OF expectancy concerning its coming, for
never before has there been so many
new members at one time as will this
year represent this august, though small,
group OF men and women.
There are three new official hostesses
this coming season Of whom much Is
expected.
OF these Mrs Charles E. Hughes is
comparatively stranger here, while the
other two, Mrs. Leonard Wood, wife of
the chief of staff of the United States
army, and Mrs. Claude A. Swanson.
whose husband succeeds the late Sena-
tor Daniel of Virginia, have already a
large acquaintance and many friends
here. Mrs. Wood, indeed, was a much
feted helle-Miss onditt-Smith-during
while Mrs. Swanson. during her hus-
bands service In the House Of Represen-
tatives, was a prominent and attractive
figure In official life.
The former governor of New York
will take the oath associate Justice of
the supreme court October 10, when that
tribunal convenes for its winter ses-
sion.
Some weeks before that date the
Hughes family Is expected to move into
the handsome residence In Massachusetts

and Mrs Hughes will be universally well
coined as genuine acquisitions to Wash

Hughes has always appealed to WASH

A Country of Toys

From the Wide World.
There is no country in the world whore
there are SO many toy shops as In Japan.
In all the towns and in most of the VII
lagos there is a children's bazaar, and the
neighborhood Of the principal temples In
crowded with stalls containing things to
amuso children. At the great religious
festivals even the poorest are to be met
with their arms full of toys to take home.
and the number of men and women who
earn a livelihood by itinerant street shows
got up solely to amuse the children can
be counted by hundreds. These enter
tainments include theatricals where brave
deeds are performed by heroic warriors,
story tellers, song singers and conjurers.

probably would be the first coming to-
eether of smart circles In the autumn.
