By Leased Wire TO Tho Tribune,
WASHINGTON, June lit seems
TO be settled that President and Mrs
Taft will not leave Washington for the
summer until after July 10, on which
date their silver wedding anniversary
will be celebrated at the White House.
This was made plain by the invitation
extended by Mr.. Taft to Colonel Roose-
welt to be his guest on that occasion.
1t is probable that Mrs. Taft and
the family will go up to Beverly be
fore, that time, but, will return to
Washington for the silver wedding,
There is no sign of an adjournment
of congress SO while the society peo-
pie are forsaking Washington as rap
idly as possible and the ranks are now
so depleted as TO preclude any really
big function, there are considerable
portions of the congressional and Of
fetal sets still in the city and will be
for some time.
Parramatta, the residence of Mrs.
Henry w, Peabody in Beverly, Mass,
over which Mrs. Taft will preside this
summer, practically is ready to become
the temporary White House. 1t is a
spacious place and the grounds sur
rounding it are admirably suited TO
the president and his wife She will
have n delightful park in which TO
take walks. There is abundant room
for tennis, golf and baseball. A trout
brook runs through the property, and
while the house is inland, it has been
arranged for the president to have the
privilege of a private landing for his
yacht.
The house has been renovated thor
oughly for use by the president and his
family and 1t is expected the Tafts
will be delighted with their new sum
mer home.
Miss Helen Taft is receiving many
compliments on her GOODNESS and eff
cheney at the time the United States
steamship Dolphin ran down and sank
a small yacht in the Potomac the 9TH
er day. While others about her
screamed with horror and cried hys-
terically she looked over the side of
the boat and watched the rescue and
when the saved were brought aboard
offered to do what she could for their
comfort. There was of course nothing
Tor her TO do on such perfectly
equipped and manned ship as the Dol
phin, but il was good TO see her calm.
ness and her willingness to be of serv-
ice.
Harvard Men Displaced.
United States Treasurer Lee Nc
tlung is one of The eligible bachelors
IN the Official set who does not OCCUPY
nearly the newspaper space he de-
serves. Far be ii from me TO suggest
that those other notable official bach
elors. Major Archie Butt. Hon. John
Barrett and Hon. Frank Hitchcock en-
JOY the services of publicity promoters,
But Mr.. McClung evidently does not.
He IS a quiet, forceful young man
who while attending strictly TO bust.
ness finds time to take a reasonably
active part in society. AS treasurer
of the United States he is sought after
TO act in similar capacity for char
ltable and other ventures, and his ath-
letic. record at Yale endears him to the
president and the Yale alumni who
have somewhat displaced IN Official
circles the Harvard alumni so favored
by Roosevelt.
Mr.. and Mrs. Larz Anderson ended
their stay in Washington by taking
a large party on board their house,
boat, the Roxana, to the unyeilinp of
the statue of Mrs. Anderson IS father.
Commodore Perkins, at Annapolis. Now
they have gone TO Weld and will be
at their country place near Boston un.
III late IN the summer. when Mr.. An.
derson will 90 to Carlsbad.
MT. and Mrs. John r. Mclean de-
parted for Europe much earlier this
year than usual. They were accompan,
led by Miss Christine Owen and Miss
Lille Finley, both accomplished bridge
players.
