The Washington herald., 1912-09-29
- cToRER. washington's ideal

III month, and cool weather will
bring back to the National
Capital this week scores of
residents who have been spending the
summer months abroad. or at the many
resorts in this country. With the ap-
proach of the season, the city has al
ready taken on a more lively air. Deb
utantes-to-be are some OF them back in
town making ready for their bows TO the
world in November and December, and
debutantes OF other years are also plan
ming for the winter. The fact that the
President and Mrs Taft will not return
TO Washington to open the White House
until November may help to make the
season a little late in starting.
Washington's entertainment of the
many distinguished foreigners and Amer
scans who attended the International
Congress on Hygiene and Demography
ended last week. A few of the visitors
stfll linger here, enjoying their stay in
washington. Rarely has a convention
brought to this city SO many men and
women of distinction. They were en-
tertained at the White House at a re-
ception. the President himself receiving
the guests, and they were given other
receptions at the Pan-American Union,
and at the New National Museum, by
the residents of Washington.
The members of the diplomatic corps
are slowly leaving summer embassies
and legations and returning to their
homes here. The Russian Ambassador
and Nine. Bakhmeteff are among the
first to return. The death OF Mrs. John
r. Mclean. sister of Mime. Bakhme-
ten. will make the Russian Embassy
less gay this winter than in the past,
and Nine. Bakhmeteff will appear
only at those Official functions which
make her presence imperative.
These autumn afternoons find the coun-
try clubs again lively. Many of the
younger set are preparing for the fall
tennis tournament at the Chevy Chase

tournament has been under way the last
week. Golf enthusiasts are crowding the
links again.
