Tale Of the Lost Gem.

liant figures In cosmopolitan Washing
ton. In the Mrs. Eleanor Glsycika who,

date. lost diamond earring valued at

Mrs. Eleanor Gisycka has the sound
OF an emigrant person-if emigrant per-
sons were in the habit Of losing n.oOO
Jewels-and must admit II took the ''of
is Dupont circle" which followed to
convey TO my mind the identity OF the
lady in question.
The whole Occurrences reminded me OF
the tale that Is told Of the steward OF
a certain apartment, and his encounter
with the viscountess Benoise d'Azy.
whose husband was military attache Of
the French embassy. and who was her
self a bit Of a leader In social doing.
Dogs. II seems, were not allowed In
the partment where the d'Azys lived.
The viscountess protested that this regu-
lation did not apply to diplomatic dogs
and that her pet was distinctly n diplo-
matte dog. whereupon the steward was
heard to exclalm. "Oh. Mrs. Daxy, do
let the dog 20: oh. please. Mrs. Dazy,
let the dog 60" The dog went-but
that. as Mr.. Kiplipg sayP. is another
story.
/ saw the little Gisycka girl the other
day tripping down the steps with her
grandmother. Mrs. Patterson, and my
dear. how she has grown! She has slim
brown iegs-they were brown that day
like colt, and her piauant little face
bids fair TO develop much OF her
mothers charm.

A Few Parties.
Mrs. Garrison slipped back to WASH
ington so quietly that she got the worst
Of her packing done before her friends
discovered her and overwhelmed her
with a host of Invitations. Most or
these she has refused. for there remain
ever so many odd Jobs to be done before
her house Is ready to be closed. How
ever. Mrs. George Leary. her close
friend. arrived in Washington yesterday,
and for the two few pleasant farewell
parties have been arranged The Garri-
sons departure. after the Secretary's
resignation, was so hurried that before
this there has been no possible oppor-
tunity for farewens
Today Mrs. Garrison had guests lunch
ing with her at the Shoreham-she Is
stopping there now-and on Tuesday
Mrs. Leary will give a luncheon party.
Then. tomorrow Hayes and Margaret
Breckenridge will have big party for
them at the Washington Club. This Is
a luncheon also. Tuesday evening they
will return to New York, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Garrison expect to come back TO
Washington later on for a little visit.
Their plans are not quite settled yet,
but Mr.. Garrison Is taking up the prac-
tlce OF law In New York. and there they
will make their home for part OF the
year For the rest they will have a
summer place some place In New Jersey.

Relief and No Relief.
Although we have had relief until

a relief, we can't but admire the UNI

Yes, Mrs. McAdoo will accompany her

and they will be gone nearly two
