: Society in Washington may have been
observing the safe and sane Fourth
to an extreme, or possibly the heat might
have been responsible. but certain it is
that quieter Fourth of July, socially
and otherwise, has scarcely been seen in
this city. The Chevy Chase Club was
the only spot where even the remnants
Of society could be found. There were
fewer there than there have been on any
such occasion this summer. The Presl-
dent and family and every member of
the Cabinet and their families, and all
the ambassadors except the British, Mr.
Bryce. spent the day out of town or
have gone for the whole season.

anniversary. This is the first time since
he came here that the prince, or, in fact,
any Of the staff, has been in Wash
ington. Baron Noldi and Mr.. Pierre
Botkine, the Russian members of the
fur seal conference. left Washington yes
