than the siRht. quite common d,r,,
the early days Of last week. Of the
Assistant secretary Of the Treasure
and Mrs. Peters-and once or tw,ce the
Secretary OF the Treasury and Mrs.
McAdoo. too making a noisy slice
from the summit TO the base Of the
hill. followed closely by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles c. Glover. tr.. with Mr.. ana
Mrs. Charles s. Hamlin. Miss Peters.
and a KAY group OF merrymakers bring
Ing up the rear.
Neither the Secretary nor his assist
ant seemed aversc to taking an old
fashioned belly whoppei'' on one OF
the newest fashioned sieds. and even
the breezy. clustering boys of the sec-
retary OF the Navy and Mrs. Daniels.

Not Going To ElberOn.
The runor that the Secretary of the
Treasury and Mrs. McAdoo had leased
a place at Elberon. N. j., near the new
summer White House. which was cur
rent for little while. and even found
its way into print on one occasion, seems
to have died from lack Of fuel. None
Of Mrs. McAdoo's friends know any
thing OF this plan, nor do the members
Of the secretary's star who, handle his
personal business.
moreover, IL Is highly improbable from
the very fact that they purchased the
delightful place on Fox Island, vinal
Haven, Me-, which they occupied last
season and found eminently suited to
their taste. ~ - $50
I notice. by the way. that since the
recent cold snap Miss Ellen Wilson Nc
Adoo's window crib has been removed
to some coign Of vantage inside the
window. Mrs. McAdoo may advocate
fresh air babies. but not frozen babies,
and there were days last week to try
the endurance OF even the sturdiest
youngster.
Judging from the regret expressed on
all sides when II was learned that
Lieut.. owen Bartlett. u. 8. NJ, was to
san on April for an Asiatic station
the notice appeared In the newspapers
under the army and navy orders-thcre
are many people who will be glad to
know that his orders have been re-
voked He will stay on at the navy
yard a bit longer, and with him his
mother and the pretty little sister who
has set so many Washington youths by
the ears.
