Much of the cargo of the Sally Is said
to have found it's way to the old Swan
house at Dorchester. Mass, known for

The members of the government on
their arrival at Havre were received
by the minister of marine and the local
authorities, the populace giving them
such a reception as only the French
with the fervor of their Latin blood
can give, and President Poincaire sent
them a warm message of greeting.
The United States has accorded her
hospitality in times of trouble to IN
dividual monarchs. and it is Il well es-
tablished fact that in 1892 plot for
giving Louis XIV and Marie Antoinette
a refuge in this country had matured
so far in detail that the Vicomte de
Noailles. an emigre of distinction, was
in Philadelphia that summer doing all
in his power to open a refuge for his
distressed countrymen. emigrating by
thousands to the United States, and
that the Kings house at the Standing
Stone on the Susquehanna had been
planned, if not begun, as nucleus OF a
French colony. Up on the coast OF
Maine it is well known tradition
that cargo of goods belonging to
Marie Antoinette was actually shipped
to Squam on the Sheepscote, now
known as Edgecomb Island. and stored
in the old Cuogh mansion, since known
as the Marie Antoinette House, and
very recently, perhaps now. occupied
by the descendants of Capt. Cloueh
But history Is silent if this republic
ever offered an asylum to monarch

Some time in the summer of 1893 the
Queens House in the forest of Penn
sylvania, about eight miles from the
Kings House, near what is now New
Era, Pa, was begun, but the work
ceased after the execution OF Marie
Antoinette October IA. 1893. and the
great log house fell into decay. But
in the same year the good ship Sally
of Wiscasset, Me-, arrived with cargo
wonderfully unlike anything ever
brought to Wiscasset before-French
tapestries. marquetry, silver with for

on the contrary, she is keenly alSrt.

young lady daughter, son about
to enter Princeton, another at Winches-
ter In a preparatory school and a III
tie girl of eight years at home.
When asked If Miss Jane Gregory
would be one of the seasons debu-
tantes. Mrs. Gregory answered most
positively in the negative.
'She Will not make any formal debut
I do not like the idea of gathering
ones friends and acquaintances to-
gether upon one occasion and formally
presenting a young daughter. l dare
say my ideas are bit old fashioned,
but l feel just as my father and mother
did about their girls.
They wanted US to have all of the
pleasure and enjoyment possible. but
they did not fancy the idea of inviting
attention for their girls and virtually
putting them up for bids in the mar
riage market. That sounds pretty much
like a criticism of a social custom,
doesn't it? But I do not mean it thar
way. / simply do not plan anything OF
the kind for my daughter, though l
hope she will get great deal of pleas
ure out of the social life here.

Miss Jane, however, misses her Aus
tin friends and college mates and, as
does her eldest brother, Thomas, she
wants to go back to the Lone Star state.
Like her mother, Miss Jane is a grad
uate of the University of Texas and has
devoted a great deal of time to Ian
guaRes, for her parents believe that
both girls and boys should perfect
themselves in some line sufficiently to
make it means of support if the ne
cessity arises.
Mrs Gregory was born at Helena,
Ark, but she has lived in Austin nearly
all of her life and when it was decided
to send her east to school Washington
was selected because of the nearness
of her Virginia relatives. She relates
some amusing "reminiscences regarding
her home state.
After my graduation" says Mrs.
Gregory my parents took me for
tour of some of the eastern resorts and
whenever 1t was known that we came
from Texas we were regarded with
curiosity. for, you know, in those days.

was regarded as the worst place in the

thropic work, especially the plans that
consider the welfare Of children.
Though eligible to membership in
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton and the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, Mrs. Gregory does not belong
to either. Club life has never appealed
to her and she insists that it never
will, because she thinks she could not

that unless one can be of use in organi-
cations one should keep out of them.
