Well, am celebrating the early part of
b writing to you, but just as soon as | sign
| he yours affectionately," or something like
hat, I'm going to put on my little round hat
! md start to the place of my birth in Mary
and, where I'm to be guest at Fourth of
/ uly dinner party, when the members of the
ova delegation in Congress are to be the
konored guests. ...
Hannah Taylor tells me she is going to
pend some time in Massachusetts with her
|rother-in-law and sister, DR.. and Mrs. Reid
HUNT, this summer. They are coming here
Or little visit this month, and Hannah will
back with them, first to Boston, where
|hey live, and later to some as yet undecided
easide place. You remember Mrs. Hunt, |
kpect, when she was Mary Lille Taylor.
By the way, Hannah certainly did look
harming recently in pink lowered frock,
ith leghorn hat trimmed with pink roses
I'd black velvet.
Baroness Moncheur, who has been in
Washington for the last two months visiting
er mother, Mrs. Powell Clayton, at the
highlands, left Thursday night for New
o-k, from where she sailed today to join
e minister abroad. The baroness is much
Inner than when she was in Washington
bars ago, but she looks mighty well.
Senator and Mrs. MARITIME left town early
is morning to spend the day at Dover
ouse. Mrs. MARITIME has been down there
any times, but the Senator has never been,

That place is so interesting, and he will just
kmosy" about and enjoy everything from
lie biscuit and chicken to the old-fashioned
|rniture.
Well, did have perfectly dandy time
Thursday at the Daniels garden party. II
Is the prettiest, sort of party. Of course,
hardly need describe the beautiful old
ehioned garden at the rear of the house to
b. You remember those perfectly kept
eve1 walks and those little box hedges. The
wer beds are full of the brightest colored
unias, nasturtiums, and all the other sum-
X flowers, and the rolling lawn is like vel
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Fletcher, Who
Fe just returned from Mexico, were the
nor guests, and they stood with the Sec
any of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels at the
rance to the garden and received the
ests, who were presented by Commander
edham Jones. Really, think everyone
is still in town was there, and such a
Ae as folks were having bidding one an
er good-by for the summer and telling of
If plans. Of course, most of the Cabinet
Congressional folks were refusing to
about going away, because most of them
vent dared make a plan. They are just
ing tight and trying to wish an early ad-
rnment upon themselves.
Little tables were placed here and there
the lawn, and the best sort of ice cream
cakes and lemonade punch were served
m them. | am sure the ices and cakes
re home made, they were so good. went
with several folks, and we were going
Er Rockville for dinner afterward, and by
time we got started our appetites were
about ruined. The ride in the delightful

days when a coat was absolutely neces-
