The Washington times., 1913-09-28

President and Mrs. Taft, who we're let into
the secret. She is also having reprinted
some most interesting documents long since
buried in oblivion, which throw an entirely
new light on Shakespeare's place in the his
tory of the times, notably his sympathy with
the Essex Conspiracy Isn't it just lovely?
But the countess is going to sail away be-
fore her American friends have chance to
congratulate her. You may have heard me
say that Count de Chambrun was promoted
to the rank of major or commandanf, and
while, of course, that is fine, it carries with
It the sad news that he is to return to France
and join some regiment They are going
to sail on October 22, but before that time
the countess is coming to Washington to tell
her friends good-by. e ~,
BY degrees folks are beginning to get
back to the city and getting settled. A great
many stop at one of the. hotels for few DAYS
while getting their houses opened and ready
for occupancy. The Grafton always is the
favorite place, and last week Mrs. Joseph
Thropp and her son Douglas were there
You know Mrs. Thropp did not open her
house last year, but spent the entire season,
with the exception CT week or two when
she was at the Willard for the D. AR Con
gress, at their place in Pennsylvania She
has returned there, and is undecided whether
she will come here this season Of not lITTG

Did you hear that Katherine Elkins is
going to be an exhibitor at the horse show
at the Brockton Mass Fair? I'm told
that she is now en- her way to Boston and
hat the pick of her stable of bluebloods are
,eing shipped to Massachusetts in a special
:ar. Lucky horses! Right now Mrs. Elkins
md Katherine are in Europe, where they
pent the summer, and know that Mrs.
Arthur Lee expects them to spend part of
he autumnal season with her at White Sui
,hur Springs. I'm not certain abeut it, but
do not think that the Elkins horses have
,ver been shown so far north before, but I'll q.
vet they can hold their own. Blaine Elkins
5reenbriar White Sulphur, and | thought
katherine would be there, but probably she
S going 10 do both.
Isn't it queer how everyone gets so mixed
p when it comes to telling which branch
f a family person belongs to? Seems to
