- ISIS ELEANOR WILSON had
IN III another jaunt to New York
the past week. with view 10
further attention to her trous-
seau or TO keep social en-
pagements with close friends, her
last chance probably TO do so before her
wedding day Before this week ends her
married life will have begun and the
White House daughters so intimately
connected in the public mind this time
year ago viii be pretty well scattered
Being the wife Of a public man is likely
10 curtail the honeymoon Of the second
White House bride of the present admin
istration as it has with other nuptial
events of this spring, and it is generally
expected that 1t will not be long before
the Secretary and his bride will be back
again at hts Massachusetts avenue home.
The enjoyment by the couple of the va
rious entertainments planned for them
lately has been very great. as their time
was spent almost entirely with their
closest official and other friends and in

The dinner which the controller of the
currency and Mrs. John SHELTON Williams
gave for them at their Richmond subur-
ban home-Paxton-TueS night was
followed bN dance. TO which many or
the smart folks OF the Virginia capital.
including Gov. stuart. went out. and had
their opportunity to offer congratulations
and good wishes to the happy couple. The
Washington party seemed to have been
specially well selected.
The Chevy Chase Club dinner and dance
Wednesday night and the dinner last
night at Single Oak. the home of Secre-
tary and Mrs. Daniels. with enough day
light for the guests en- route to have a
dress. were other events with joyful
memories attached. to Miss Wilson and
Secretary McAdoo.
Gayeues generally We're resumed the
past week and dinners. lunches and other
hospitalities followed day by day among
officials as Well as residents. The call
OF the outdoor world is, however. being
needed more and more, and if the horse
show did not provide the opportunity
for good times amidst informal sur
IoCndngs. they would surely be sought
elsewhere. The show will bring about a
great deal OF entertaining and will offer
the lirst chance this spring for the fash
lonabie world TO see itself in sport or
dress-up clothes, and hundreds OF others
looking on with appreciation of its
movements. otherwise the social outlook
of early May does not present a program
of great activity. but just il all ceased
recently. after the public mind became
conferred OH Mexico. so it may be resum-
cd with little or no warning. There will
be a few other weddings, too. of more
than local interest AS the month goes
on. but the White House event seems to
have this week almost reserved for itself.

CAPT. w. c. l. CHAMBER, u S. ~.
Has Connden In Lieut.. Porte's
Ability a. Navigator.

WASH iNoroN, July 12.-Capt w. c.
Irving Chamber. u. s. N, said:
First, l think the Atlantic flight Is
likely TO be successful because I have
confidence In the ability OF Lieut.. Porte.
Success depends upon the following con-
dtlons: The builders skill in producing
machine capable of performing the
specific work. 1. O., OF rising from COM
paratively smooth water with the neces-
sary load. of flying at the designed speed
and Of maintaining that speed for the
required length of time. | have con-
fidence in the skill of Mr.. Curtiss to
satisfy the conditions and, from observa-
ton of the America at Hammondsport,
1t is my belief thar they will all be met
satisfactorily.
Second. the weather conditions includ-
ing the force and direction OF wind In
this the chances are In favor OF Lieut..
Porte, as any navy man Of experience
with the weather charts and the daily
weather reports before MIN ought to be
able to seize the proper time for n start.
In this again much will depend upon the
ability TO overcome anxiety to make a
premature effort If the effort be pre-
mature. however. II should be discovered
within four to six hours and there IL
no reason why he could not turn back.
although in so doing II might require
more courage than to continue in the
hope OF finding better luck.
Third. ability to navigate and to shape
the proper course. In this Lieut.. Porte
has the advantage over the average
aviator. and i assume of course that he
will not start unprovided with the instru-
ments necessary to do this both In day
time and at night. To ths layman sue
cess In this undertaking seems TO be
principally a question OF luck or chance.
To my mind II liz more a question OF
judgment and skill in avoiding start
before the performance OF the machine
IL satisfactory and shaping the course
20 as to get the best out OF such adverse
winds as may be encountered.
The most uncertain thing about the
navigation is the manner in which the
rain squalls that may be encountered are
to be met, but as they are not likely to
be met at night ] assume that Lieut.
Porte's judgment will dictate the proper
course. whether to jump over TO go
around OF TO go through them"
