HARD To SELECT
TrROUSSEAU JUST NOW.
The wedding gown has not been
it, though Miss Robertson has
selected a part of her trousseau
here. At this time of the year 1t
is awfully hard to make a selection
for IT will be neither summer nor
fall when she is married. but ! do
not think she could have done bet
ter in making the selections she
has.
One dress, which might be used
either for a dinner gown or for an
afternoon function is just too
pretty and bride-like for words. 1t
is a soft dull shade of blue. which
might have a touch of gray to 1t,
and of georgette. Hanging straight
from the shoulders, it is cut long
wasted with a deep V week and
worn over an underbOdice of the
material trimmed with filet lace:
The skirt is accordion plated in
the back and tucked from waist
line to hem at the front. The tuCks
near the waist and at the bottom
being trimmed with loops of crystal
beads in the same shade OF blue. 4
wide sash accompanies this. OF
satin. the same hue.
4 little street dress of dark blue
Poiret twill is made with that
charming apron tunic at the front,
which is trimmed with dull blue
leather flowers. The waist, which
is also cut along apron lines at the
front, hangs over a sash of black
satin ribbon which ties in a huge
rosette at the back and ends in
strcamers reaching to the hem. 1t
is also trimmed with the leather
flowers. The white organdy collar
and cuffs tie in little bows. A
black taffeta dress hanging straight
from the shoulders, is cut in
deep V at the neck, disclosing
vcstee with roll collar of white
organdy. which is button trimmed

and is trimmed with little motifs
of gay colored straws. \ long scarf

of a deep apricot just matching the
raffia form the sash.
CAPT. AND MRS. RIDDELL
BACK IN CITY.
While talking of brides and
Erooms. I hear that Capt. and Mrs.
James c. Ruddell are back in Wash
ington. They were married over a
year ago but it is the first Washing
ton'has seen of them since the we'd
ding. which took place in st. Naz-
aire, France. Mrs. Ruddell, you
surely recall. was the widow of Capt.
Myron Bertman of the Engineer
Corps of the army, who was adju-
tant at the Washington barracks
while they were stationed there be-
fore we entered the war Capt
Bertman went to France shortly
after the United States declared hos
tilities and died very soon after
reaching the other side. About a
year later Mrs. Bertman went to
France with the American Red
Cross and wasn't over there very
long before she met and married
Capt. Ruddell.
The .Ruddells and all the other
people who are in Washington in
midsummer are having a beautiful
time for there is lots to do at the
Capital and the weather conditions
have been of the best-the tempera-
ture of the sort one pays big prices
for in the mountains. Light pas
senger lists on trains to resorts were
the rule last week for the lowest
temperature registered in the Capt
tai was lower than the low mark for
80 T@1-
even with that of Portland. Me
What do you know about thatw.
to use a popular slang expression! {!
The President is enjoying this
mountain" weather very much,
taking daily rides with his wife in
the late afternoons. He is steadily
improving, though doing a good bit
of work these days and seeing much
company, for some politician is al
ways wanting to see him and most
of them are received these days. The
President held a Cabinet meeting,
too, last week.
PRESIDENT NOT LIKELY
TO TAKE LONG TRIP.
1t is said that the President Is
considering a weekend voyage on
the Mayfiower soon-maybe this
"teh-enu. bul II ne OOsS 1t Will
only be for the weekend. I'm sure.
He was Joined at the White House
the middle of the week by his
daughter Margaret, who has been
in New York for weeks. Somebody
said she was ill there. I heard it
whispered the other day that Mrs.
Wilson is thinking of having Sey-
mour Stone. the noted American
portrait painter. paint her portrait
soon and l wouldn't be surprised
If 1t were not so, for all of the
Officials-and most of the smart
members of the resident set in So
ciety-are having him paint their
portraits and also the members of
their various families. Really, IL is
getting to- the point where one is
hardly considered smart any more
unless Mr.. Stone has painted them.
And If you saw his paintings you
would understand why he has be-
come so much the rage-his work
