Have you heard the latest?
The Harry Symes Lehrs will come
to America during the middle OF
June and will take a villa in New
port for the summer.
Shades of the late Mrs. Astor'
Harry Lehr again in Newport
What a flood of memories the mere
thought brings to my mind.
However, Newport will find the
Harry Lehr of today a very differ
ent Harry from the frivolous young
man who arranged monkey dinner
parties and shocked not only So
ciety, but the entire country, by his
utter disregard for expense when
h. nj frr
dinner party-with someone else's
money.
Harry Lehr is now a very seri-
ous-minded man. He has embarked
on a business career. and I hear II
Is BUSINESS which brings the Lehrs
back to America after a long So
journ in France.
Mrs, Lehr, 1t will be recalled. was
formerly Bessie Drexel, a daughter
of the late Mrs. Joseph Wharton
DrexeI and a sister of Mrs. DreXel

there.

OF SCULPTOR.
Harry. according to his friends,

We have seen society folk in min
iatures; society folk in oils, but
Washington has but recently been
introduced to society in sculpture.
Monday will be the last day of Mrs.
Lithgow Osborne's exhibition OF
statuettes of well-known society
people which has, for some time
been going on at the Hisada Studio,
1114 Connecticut avenue.
The shop is very interesting from
an artistic point of view. Indeed
Hisada is not only a decorator of
note. with a small museum of rare
Japanese and Chinese works, but a

number of society art exhibitors
which ii has already housed, with
promise of many more. -
Do you remember the story 1 told
you some time ago in connection
with the Japanese Feast of the
Dolls, where 1 referred to the Doll
Theater, situated in Osaka, the city
of smokestacks, in Japan. This
theater, which is called the Bun
raku-za, is not only located in the
native city of Hisada, but has among
its most enthusiastic patrons both
him and his father, who is quite
wealthy. Hisada has been in this
country for fourteen years.
But I was speaking of Mrs. Os-
borne and her most interesting little
statuettes, including one of Nine
Brambrilla, the children of Mrs
Grafton Minot, apartially-completed led
one of Gladys Hinckley, and oh, ever
