Lord and Lady Geddes. for they are
not only charming but are SO young
and full of pep and such good
mixers" The FIRST thing everyone
saws about Lady Geddesis isn't she
youngw Mildred Bromweil'isn't go
ing up to York Harbor as soon as
her mother does. but will go first
to Elkins, W. Va, to be member
OF the house party'of about twenty

He is now in Illinois. There In quite
large Washington colony at YORK

ROYALTY PLANNING VISITS
HERE HAS CHANGED MIND.
hear that (worse luck) there is
small chance of Washington being
Invaded next fall by old-world mon
archs because, il is said, that for
eign governments have been In
formed that the White House can
not conveniently entertain royalty.
I've heard that the Queen OF Ru-
! mania and the King of Italy had
both planned to come over but Nave
since decided not to. and, that. when
| the King of Belgium goes TO Brazil
he will not stop here but that the
King of Spain may pay a flying
visit to Washington on his way to
visit several South American coun-
] tries. The Presidents illness has
upset more than one plan, ! should
say, But, believe me, the members
OF Congress are going 10 do some
travelling this summer, Judging
from the four OF more trips that are
being planned. either partially or
wholly at the expense of the gov
ernment; all investigation trips of
course. Apparently there is not any
possibility even OF any Congress
sional effort in Washington for the
next two months at least.
Quite a few people left town last
week to attend the graduation ex-
ercises at West Point. and this week
will see some of the grads" and
some of the cadets in town visiting
their parents. Secretary Baker
went up for the closing exercises,
taking with him. as he did last
week. his son Jack. The Bakers
are not planning to go away at
all this summer. They moved last
week into their new quarters in
iWoodley lane. Mrs. Baker was the
honor guest at the dance the of
fcers at the Washington Barracks
gave last Friday evening. which
was preceded by number of
dinner parties. They are, planning
another for next Saturday with
Gen. Pershing as the honor guest.
The barracks officers have such a
delightful place TO entertain, the
Officers Club right on the river
front overlooking Potomac Park.
Though Washington was rather
quiet last week there were a few
parties too: those at the barracks
and those at the different clubs in
.cludinG the dinner given by Judge
and Mrs. T T. Ansberry in compli-
ment to their guests, Mrs William
Kirtley and Mrs. John Vanderbrook,
of Defiance. o. The other guests

Palmer, the Secretary of the In
