Roosevelt, as the guest OF tho Cham
Der OF Commerce AT its annual ban
quet Tuesday night, made his frst
pubic address since the recent cleo
tons. He was cordially greeted by a
gathering OF upwards OF 900 men.
The banquet had more than ordi-
nary significance through the presence
OF the chief guest. who so recently
was in controversy with the former
chief justice OF the supreme court OF
errors, Judge Simeon L. Baldwin, who
as the Democratic nominee for gov
ernor. overturned the political COM
plcxion of the state, and as governor
elect had been invited 10 attend
Judge Baldwin was not present and
the place assigned TO him at the
guests table bore mute evidence OF
his absence.
Col. Roosevelt said that during the
last half OF the last century. people
had concerned themselves with tho
accumulation Of material weli?being,
believing that its distribution would
take care of itself But the people
had come to see he added, that they
must concern themselves with an
equitable distribution OF wealth.

COUNTESS, NEW YORK GIRL,
JOINS SOCIETY GARDENERS
Lady Dutferin Goes TO Suburbs Of
London, Where j, p. Morgan and
Others Have Estates.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Countess
of Dufferin, who was Miss Flora
Davis. of New York. is the latest re-
cruit to the small army of well-known
society women, both American and
English, who have taken houses IN
the once despised suburbs.
For many years Lady Duiferin has
lived in a charming house in Cadogan
Square. where she entertained on a
small scale. but the gardening craze
seized her and she has just taken a
large, old-fashioned house surrounded
by beautiful gardens at Putney. The
house, known as North House, was
formerly occupied by the Dowager
Lady Hill.
Lady Dufferin's three daughters,
the Ladies Blackwood, are music
mad" like their mother. and the cid
est has craving, which is sternly
repressed by her parents, for the
musical comedy stage.
The desire for living in the suburbs
is gradually spreading, owing chiefly
to the motor car which brings the
suburbanites within half an hours
drive of the heart of London. and al
so to the gardening hobby, which by
the way, is much encouraged by
Queen Mary.
