other members of sristocracy of the
largest Southern and Southwestern
cities are also much, in evidence.

COL. ANDREW THORNE
ENJOYS VACATION.
1t is a pretty sight to see Col
! Andrew Thorne of the British EN-
| bassy and Mrs. Thorne in the
great swimming pool here with their
! five attractive little kiddies, all as
| English as can be. 1t is perhaps
! not generally known that Sir
| Auckland Geddes was most anxious
! to make White Sulphur the summer
! home of the British Embassy, but
no suitable house or cottages were
available. The Old White has pc
| culiar warm corner in the British
! heart as many members of the en-
| bassy set, the British War Mission
+ and others of the diplomatic service
can testify, and IL anything more
: was needed. the visit of the Prince
/ of Wales served to seal the matter
I OF the many English titled folk
! who will visit the United States
/ many are planning to visit White
| Sulphur during the coming autumn
and spring seasons.
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Tobrincr. Wal
, ter and Ralph Tobriner. of Wash
! ington, are at the Greenbrier for =
| stay of some time. Mrs. r. w. Will
| liams arrived at the Greenbrier
! from Washington last week to spend
her usual season and also there
/ have gone Judge and Mrs. Henry
! Waters Taft who will spend the en-.
! tire season at the Greenbrier in
stead of visiting Murray Bay where
they had for several years a pre-
( tentious summer home.
