Mrs. william Phillips. wife Of the
First Assistant Secretary of State. on
the other hand, is swinging back and
forth, pendulum fashion, between her
summer home "Highbrow" UP on the
Massachusetts, coast, where her chill
dren are, and Washington where her
husband is tied down by ofiicial du-
ties. Lately she has been in Wash
ington for a week or ten days. but
she was expecting to 60 north the
end Of this week, and hoping that
perhaps Mr.. Phillips would be able to
go along for the weekend at any
rate, though he cannot Just now get
away for a real vacation.
Mrs. Phillips was formerly Caro-
line Astor Drayton, of New York.

she Is wearing any jcwelry at all

and aristocratic looking woman,
without any pretensions to regular
ity Of feature or mere pink and
white prettiness. and a most devoted
mother to her three attractive
youngsters.
Many of the diplomats are in the
same case. Most of those who have
established definite summer quar-
ters have done so for the sake Of
the children. Little Mrs. Koo, wife
OF the Chinese Minister, said at first
that she was not going out OF town
at all. She had been away pretty
much all winter-she went home to
China for a visit last fall-her hus-
band would have to stay in Wash
ingtou pretty much all summer, and
the children were so we'll here that
there was really no reason for 60
ing. But when the hot weather
really set in. she weakened, and
took a cottage at Blue Ridge Sum-
nit. There she is established with
her two adorable babies-welling-
ton, Jr.. aged about two and a half,
and little Miss Patricia, aged con-
siderably less than one year. Both
OF the children are American born,
and are being brought up in ac-
cordance with American notions
quite naturally since both their
parents are graduates of American
colleges. And the method seems to
produce good results. They are as
rosy and bright-eyed pair of
youngsters as one could hope to
see.
Mrs. Koo runs down to Washing
ton occasionally when any Chinese
visitor of distinction to whom the
legation owes hospitality comes
along-as. for instance, his Excel
lency Tang Hua Lung. former
Speaker of China, who has been
here just recently. And DR.. Koo
takes himself and his guests up to
Blue Ridge Sumit quite frequently
to show of his two wonderful
babies. Equally also. he goes up
for the week-end-which is quite
likely to begin about Friday and
last over till Tuesday-or some-
thing like that.
Most Of the diplomats who have
children have established summer
homes up in that mountain country.
