\ w to some extent be revived
\ Already some of the diplo-
/ mats have come to Washington from the
| mountains and the shore and again set
tied down for the coming social season
! The announcement during the week that
! Miss Helen Taft is not to re-enter college
came as surprise to many of the social
| leaders of the city who are friends OF the
Tafts. The fact, however. that Mrs.

| during the coming season so that many
Of the social duties devolving upon the
! first lady Of the land can be attended to
J by her daughter. Miss Taft may also
be debutante of the season.
| Shortly after the cabinet comes together
for it's first session of the fall the Presi-
dent will return to Beverly. so his coming
| here shortly will be in the nature Of
visit rather than a homecoming. The

the administration circle In July. Her
most important duty along this line is

much Of the responsibility Of entertain

month. The Chinese minister, who re-
turned Monday from Mexico Is now en-
route to San Francisco to greet this
august traveller. Mr.. Changes escort to
Washington would scarcely seem neces-
sary to the prince, in view of the very
large encourage which always attends an
oriental of high rank. Indeed. when
abroad he and his aids make q pictur
