addressed the Senate on the treaty and
the league. 1t is a perfectly enormous
| garden party or bridesmaid hat with
scarf Of gray tulle coming down
from the brim and twisted around
the throat.
Naturally everybody is much more
| than usually interested in Mrs. VIII
sons clothes because she has just
come home from eight months In
what Is conceded to be Fashions capi-
tall Probably IT is her more elaborate
clothes. evening gowns and reception
gowns that she brought from over
there-the very stunning costume she
had on at the French Embassy, for in
stance. The embassy reception was
really about the only occasion she has
had since her return to wear anything
elaborate.
When the Presidential party boarded
the Mayfower last Saturday It was
distinctly cool and Mrs. Wilson was
wearing a natty but entirely conven-
tioral white flannel yachting costume,
made simply with a short round skirt,
scmi-loose fitting coat, and small
white felt hat. The President wore
white trousers, dark blue coat and a
straw hat, which he changed for a
cap Immediately after going on board.
Miss Margaret Wilson, who, while
she seems to be on perfectly friendly
and even affectionate terms with her
stepmother. leads her own life, has
her own friends and her own engage
ments, is taking French lessons with a
view to keeping up and improving the
| French she acquired while she was
| abroad. She spends an hour or two
every afternoon with teacher.
For these occasions Miss Wilson
wears the simplest and most entirely
suitable dresses Of French organdy or
wolfe. nearly always blue or white, or
blue and white, and small white satin
tui ban with a flowing tulle veil which
she twists around her throat.
Her sport, when she Is inclined for
out OF door exercise, Is riding rather
than golf. She rides much and looks
well in her habit, which at this time
OF year is OF white liner, breeches and
long coat. smartly cut and strictly
tailored.
In former seasons one saw her most
frequently hatless, but that was earlier
| in the season. Now she seems to be
wearing a small sailor with slightly
dropped brim. Boots?. Oh yes. OF
course. of very dark brown leather.
Party for Msrshalls' Foster Son.
The Marshalls celebrated little Nor
rison's birthday last Sunday. He was
years old, and Of course he had lit
tie birthday party at Wardman Park
Inn, where the President and
Mrs. Marshall are staying for the sum-
mer. The GROWING feature was Of
course the cake with its three condles
land one to grow on; and the festivi-
ties we're kept as simple as possible. as
were the gifts. for the Marshalls have
decided views on the desirabillty Of
avoiding elaboration and anything that
smacks of ostentation in bringing up
their little foster son, who certainly
did fall on his feet when he came
under Mrs Marshall's notice.
The Vice-President had to make a
flying trip down to Raleigh, N. c., and
Mrs. Marshall as usual went with
him. They went Monday and came
back Tuesday, making the round trip
in about twenty -four hours and stay
! ing at Raleigh only a few hours.
What for? Why. the Vice President
had to address the Raleigh Chamber
! of Commerce. But that was no more
interesting than the trip to Buffalo
made a day or two later by Secretary
Baker and Franklin Roosevelt, acting
Secretary of the Navy, to address the
convention of the Knights Of Column
bus and the Christian Endeavorers,
both of which were in session there.
Admiral Benson also made addresses
there.
Secretary Baker was to be away for
several days and was to spend the
week end with Mrs. Baker and the
children, who are at Chautauqua Lake,
not far from Buffalo. He will return
to Washington tomorrow.
Meanwhile the Daniels party has
reached the coast and met and re-
viewed the Pacific fleet at San Diego.
Later the party will go to Honolulu to
Inspect and open formally the great
new dry dock recently completed
there.
Two of the biggest battleships of
the fleet are going to make the trip
and show Hawaii the latest wrinkle in
big fighting ships. Secretary and Mrs.
Daniels will be on board one warship,
probably the Mississippi.
! Major Walter Dillingham; may be
/ with them. He has started from
Washington for the Pacific coast and
ultimately Honolulu.
Walter Dillingham; feels a tender,
almost a fatherly interest in that dry
Dock. He was an engineer before he
entered the army-and presumably
will be again, now that he is out of
the service, from which he was re-
leased last February. And as an
engineer he planned that dry dock and
had much to do with Its building. He
end Mrs. Dillingham; were to have
sailed on Monday, but at last accounts
they were having some difficulty in
getting passage. .u
Lansings Remaining I'm City.
The Lansings arc staying in town
for the present at any rate. So are
the Lanes. Mrs. Lane Is not feeling
energetic, and Secretary Lane does
not quite see how he can get away.
Mrs. Redfield has gone up to pass
August with her daughter, Mrs.
Charles X. Drury at westfieid. Mrs.
Palmer is at Berkeley Springs, Pa,
and hopes that the Attorney General
will join her.
