MI. ROBERT tart, elder son OF the PreSi- |
dent, who has spent the past week at |
the White House. left yesterday to re-
turn to his studies at the Harvard law |
school. He was accompanied by his |

Easter house party of young people at |

The second week Of the postmaster
season promises to be quite as gay as
the first, and society will be attracted |
by numerous weddings. While the latter
part of April is being marked by UNI
usual social activity. with many impor-
tant weddings on the calendar. the social !
barometer will experience a decided drop
before the May flowers bloom.
The trend of society is now toward
Europe, although there are a few who
are leaving Europe out of their plans
for the coming summer. Country houses
are being placed in order, and the month
of May will witness exodus from
Washington, that. too, despite the fact of
Congress being in session and the neces-
sity for the remaining of the President
and official society generally in Wash
| ington.
| The early spring travel to Europe has
| been largely increased because of the
|
| in London. The exodus of last week was
| very large one there being 1.13O pas
sengers booked to leave New York for
| the British isles and northern CONT
| mental ports by two steamships one
day. The chilly weather has driven
those on this side to the Virginia Hot
Springs, which now has a large contin-
gent from Washington's smart colony.
