FRENCH AMBASSADOR TO
TAKE NEEDED VACATION.

Really, there was hardly an en-
voy who didn't entertain last week
and most of them were entertained
Several of their wives though, did
not receive last Friday afternoon
as has been their custom for weeks
and weeks-which rather signifies
that the season for formality Is
really over. Several members of the
corps have gone out of town for
the week end. The French Ambas-
sador, ]. J. Jusserand. spent sew
eraI days in New York, where he
was feted as a farewell before sail
ing for France. where be will take
a much earned vacation IL Is a
wonder he hasn't collapsed. as he
has worked so hard since his coun-
try entered the war, sticking right
to his desk here, without any va
cation: working day and night
with a much curtailed stan-for
men were needed at the front. you
know. He used TO go home for a
visit almost every summer before
that. So many ENJOYS are blanntng
to spend their summers at home!
Which reminds me that the Mar
quise de Fontenoy wrote the other
day that the rumor that Minister
Cremer Of the Netherlands VINO,
with his family, went home about a
fortnight ago to spend the summer
has every intention of returning,
adding, And II must be admitted
that Holland could not have select
ed a more appreciative and friendly
! representative in this country,
which she was the first to colonize.
Like his chief lieutenant, William
de Beaufort. representing a branch
of the old Dutch ducal Mouse Of his
name and now acting as charge
d. affairs, he has thoroughly grasped
the psychology of the American
character. which, with all its. ad-
| mirable qualities. so many foreign
ers fail utterly to comprehend.

before he, was married; Dorothy
Williams McCombs, Mrs. william
Burton, Of London, who was Jessie
krogstad; Louise. Cromwell Brooks,
who used to always attend the horse
shows in her girlhood days; Mrs.
Albert Mills. who is coming out of
mourning of Gen. Mills; and dozens
of others. Alice Shepard. who spent
the winter in New York, reached
town in time for the show-but
could talk horse show for hours, so
might just as well stop now.

postponed until May 26 and two
new events have been ADDED to thf
program, a slow mule race and a

DIPLOMATS ENTERTAIN
DURING THE WEEK.
For the rest. the diplomats did
quite a bit Of entertaining last
week, either for some other diplo-
mat or for some official. The
Colbys, I'm sure, did not eat either
a luncheon or dinner at home
were constantly being entertained
all week. Mrs. Colby is a charming
person and is becoming acquainted
rapidly. Her daughters are very
good looking. Mime. Grouitch en-
tertained and was entertained quite
a bit last week, as also did her
friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Mebane. The
latter did some wonderful RELIEF
work in the Balkans and is Nine

Leaving the same day for the same
show is George Hrlme, of New
who is a graduate OF the Saumur
Riding School of France, perhaps
the best in the world. He is the
man who introduced the science of

much to improve, the standard of
army horses and to develop the re-
mount service. He, with Col. Stan

Meth Hunt in Ireland. was a judge,
too. He has ridden and Is widely
known for his hunting all over
France. England anc Ireland. He
said that the handicap jump in our
show was the finest exhibition of
jumping he had ever seen and he
ought to know.
Mr.. Jackson said he had never

horses
GEN. MITCHELL
TRAINED nACGHTER.
Billy Mitchell was so proud and
happy when his daughter. Elizabeth,
age about IL years, l should say,
made her appearance in the ring. 1t
was the first time she had ever rid
den in q show and her father was a
bit nervous about the showing she
would make. She was just great
and he might well have been proud
Of her. He had been training her
for the show. and while she was
riding you could hear him mutter
to himself: That's fine, Elizabeth"
II think he called her Elizabeth.
Hold her a bit higher, Elizabeth -
and similar exclamations! She won
third prize in the thoroughbred sad
die horse class and did splendidly!
DR.. Shirley Carter was Judge of that
class.
IDUPONTs CAPTURE
SEVERAL PRIZES.
Mrs. william Dupont. jr., rode in
the hunt team class. They own the
1'Foxcatcher Farm" near Rosemont.
Pa Mr.. Dupont also rode some of
their horses. as did their groom.
They had a large number of entries
and secured several ribbons. An
other Judge and very good look

publisher Of Rider and Driver"
Another was Capt. Guy V. Henry.

Virginia, in almost every class. and
even the judges said there wasn't
any more superb horsemanship at
the show. man or woman. She was
like a professional; made some of
the others seem amateurish. almost.
One of the outstanding exhibitors
was Loula Long Combs, of Kansas
City. Mo, sister of Mrs. Hayne Ellis.
She is very fine horsewoman, and
won many prizes, and would have
won several others except for a few
small matters. In one phaetOn
class, for example. her horse was
Judged the best, but the equipment
was not exactly correct. Then,
again, her horse would have gotten
the blue ribbon. but he stood with
his head on one side and Mrs. Combs
dldnt correct him, so the judges
gave him third. l suspect she was
quite peeSed about it. As she drove
