ABE FINDS THE
WORLD SMALL
MEETS A MAN IN MIAMI HE MET
IN INDIA LAST YEAR-WILL
SPEND SOME TIME FISHING
THERE BEFORE RETURNING
NORTH.

Among the prominent visitors in
Miami today is Mr. George AIDE, of
Chicago, the well known American
writer Of plays, musical comedies
and originator Of modern fables,
who is spending several weeks at
Palm Beach, says the Miami Me-
tropolis.
Mr.. AIDE motored to Miami yes
terday from Palm Beach with Miss
Saunders, and Mr.. and Mrs. A. w.
Lndeke, Of st. Paul, who are also
season guests at Palm Beach. They
registered at the Royal Palm yes
terday and will leave tonight for
Palm Beach.
Mr.. AIDE is delighted with Miami,
and in conversation with a represen-
tative of the Metropolis this morn
ing. said that he will probably re-
turn before the season closes, TO
spend a few days fishing. He is en-
joying excellent health and today
spent much of his time walking
about the city with his friends.
In speaking of travelling Mr.. AIDE
said this morning that he was sur
prised TO be greeted by a man yes
terday whom he met in India last
winter, and today met others who
had been fellow passengers with
him in his travels abroad.
Mr. AIDE is famous as writer and
humorist, among his plays being
the County Chairman" The Sultan
of Sulu" and Peggy From Paris"
His next production will undoubtedly
contain some color secured during his
visit in Palm Beach.

MRS. NICHOLAS LONGWORTH
A MOST STUNNING WOMAN.

Alice Roosevelt is the most stun
ming person | have seen in Washing
tom said an Atlanta young woman
recently a guest at several of the bril-
liant affairs of the season in that city.
With her extraordinary fetching ap-
pearance and her chic and original
taste in costuming, added to her
natural love of admiration and CO.
quetry, the ex+belle of the White
House easily takes first place in the
interest and admiration of the general
public, speaking with regard to the
public which is invited to the White
House affairs and the large events
of society in Washington.
And this is true, too, of the general
public, in broader sense. No girl
or woman of the White House has at
tracted the personal interest that Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth did, or retained
this interest after losing the position
of the FIRST young lady of the land"
Even the younger daughter of the
charm and grace, has not usurped her
sister Alice's place.
Mrs. Nick Longworth, as she is
generally called" continues this At
lanta girl, seems to be a prime ia
vorite at the White House, where she
is seen on all occasions. At the last
affair of the season on Tuesday even-
ing of the past week Mrs. Longworth
wore a beautiful gown Of the palest
blue made with a fetching tunic and
cut very, very low in the back, there
by displaying a pair of very beautiful
shoulders. Her long diamond ear
rings were a striking detail of her
toilet"
In fact, Mrs. Longworth owes much
of her charm to her style of dress
ing.
In an article on "Well-Gowned
Washington Women" The Post says
of Mrs. Longworth's costuming.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, who is al
ways becomingly gowned, whatever
the dictates of Paris may be, has re-
turned to the familiar blue her name
made famous, after appearing in a va
riety of gowns, showing a yellow,
brown, or dull pink as their predomi-
mating hue. Mrs. Longworth is dis
tinctly fond of colors, rarely wear
ing black or white. The blue gown in
which she appeared at the White
House reception Tuesday (the same
blue gown the Atlanta girl noted) is
as near the old-time Alice blue as is
possible to find in this years fabrics,
and still not look o1d-fashioned. the
present-day color having a delicate
touch of gray which was entirely lack
ing in the blue of seven or eight
years ago. In outline Mrs. Long
