of his work is now owned by the French
government and is on exhibition in the
Luxembourg. 1t was at the Paris home
of Mrs. Barclays parents that her we'd
ding took place not quite three years ago.
There, too, another daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ward was married to a young Eng
lishman, Eric Phipps. who is now secre-
tary to the British embassy at Madrid.
Like most Englishwomen. Mrs. Barclay
is fond of outdoor sports. In Paris horse
back riding was her faVorite recrea ton,
and she expects to resume it in Washing
ton this spring. She also enjoys golf and
tennis.
Upon coming to Washington D.. and
Mrs. Barclay took a house near Dupont
Circle. In the furnishing of this resi-
dence the artistic ability which the latter
has inherited from her father is evident
at glance. Rare and beautiful prints
watercolors and statuary, quaint carved
chests from Brittany, odd pewter vessels
found by Mrs. Barclay in her travels in
Bulgaria, and many other things of
beauty and interest all of them placed
with rare taste, go to make the home an
attractive one.
Though she has enjoyed to the fullest
ali that she has seen of social life in this
country, Mrs. Barclay Is domestic in her
tastes. She is devoted to home life. and
gives most of her time to the care of her
little son, who is now ten months old The
child is a handsome boy, and bears his
fathers name.

Mrs. Colvile Barclay, wife of the coun-
selor to the British embassy, is enjoy
ing her first season in this country. -Four
years ago Mrs. Barclay, then Miss Ward,
visited Washington as the guest Of the
present ambassador to Italy and Mrs.
Thomas Nelson Page, but that was only
for a fortnight. Last November she came
to America again, this time with her hus-
band and a six-month-old little son, and
with a view Of making her home in Wash
inston for an indefinite length Of tine.
She has entered with zest into the social
activities of the season, and has made
many friends among American women, as
well as among the women of the diplo-
matte set.
Mrs. Barclay was born in London. and
attended private schools in England. AS
the daughter of Herbert Ward, the noted
sculptor however, she spent eight years
of her childhood and young womanhood
in Paris. where her father has done his
best work. There Mr.. and Mrs. Ward
have maintained a home which has been
frequented by men and women. who have
attained eminence in painting. sculpture
and the other arts. and which has been
considered one of the most interesting in
Paris. Herbert Ward who belongs to
the Legion of Honor of France, has ex-
hibited many groups at the salon. Much

MAY HAVE FREE BATHS.
House Refuses to Deprive Members
of Their Perauisite.

Members OF the House continued today
to enjoy free baths at the Capitol without
any. fear. if they ever had any. that this
privilege would be cut off. Any doubt
that may have existed regarding the
matter was removed by the action of the
House yesterday in voting to retain the
item in the legislative. executive and jul
dicial appropriation bill pre- iding for
baths and bathing attendants for senators
and representatives.
During the debate on the question the
House was aroused to laughter by Rep
resentative Bryan of Washington. who
demanded to know why it was that the
House appropriated 5000 for washing"
433 representatives and $1,000 for bath
ing" ninety-six senators. Chairman John
son. in charge of the bill. quick to see the
righteousness of the remark. made no
response to the question For years there
has been some opposition to the free bath
privilege on the ground of economy.

But I'm not losing sight of the fact
