CHARACTERS BARELY
DISGUISED AT ALL,

The author Of the tale apparently
didn't feel called upon TO even
"camoUhage" the names OF most OF
his Characters: they are scarcely
disgufsed at all Friends OF the
Coxes imagine they recognize nearly
everyone in the story as real char
acters who are playing prominent
parts in the newspaper columns OF
today. Il may be their imsgins-
ton. however
The White House has been 80
cially in the public eye during the
last few weeks more than IL has
since the President and Mrs. Wilson
went to Europe the first time. The
only social activity there TO speak
OF in all the intervening months
were the visits OF the King and
Queen OF Belgium and the Prince
OF Wales who were received by the
President in his bed. But there
have been several luncheons and
tea parties there lately and the

person OF Prof. Stockton ANson.

TWO CEREMONIES
FOR THEIR MARRIAGE,


we're married two ceremonies were
performed, I recall, one in the Greek
Church in Bayswater, England, and
the other in st. Margaret's, West
minister, where Queen Alexandra and
many persons prominent in govern
ment, diplomatic and society. were
present. The princess, I'm told, is
now convert to the Greek Ortho-
dox rite, the national church of Ru-
mania, and 1t was as a member of
that denomination that her little
daughter was baptized the other day
in London by threefold complete
immersion. Queen Alexandra was the
Child's principal godmother. Queen
Alexandra is greatly devoted to the
prince, who was a favorite of the
late King Edward VII. who used to
make a point OF including him in the
list OF guests whom he desired to be
asked to meet him at the various
dinners and house parties organized
in his honor. Surely both he and his
wife will make unusually interest
ing additions to Washington society
here.
Another interesting bit Of news
circulated last week was to the eff
feet that the legation Of Costa Rica
mas DctH vacant LOT several
years now because OF the revolu-
tions and counter revolutions down
there, establishing movements
which the United States did not feel
justified in recognizing. is about
to be filled, according to statements
from the State Department last
week. This country has just de-
cided to recognize the present gov
ernment which was established in a
law abiding, constitutional manner.
The last Costa Rican Minister was
named Castro Quesada. but he hasn't
been here now for several years
When living here he had with him
his sister. Miss Angela Castro, who
was perfect beauty and very
charming. The secretary OF the le-
legation at that time. J. Rafael

CONFIDENTIAL AGENT
REPRESENTS BOLIVIA.

Though the Bolivian legation is
without head now it was asserted
a day or two ago that the new gov
ernment there has appointed DR..
Carlos Victor Aramaya as confiden-
ttal agent to the United States.
which is temporary substitute for
a minister, I suppose, something
like the arrangement at the Mcxi-
can embassy just now.
Yet judging from the present out
look, the diplomatic corps by au-
tumn, will be almost complete once
more which has not been the case for
a year or so. All last winter almost
half Of the embassies or legations
were without heads the greater part
Of the time. When the dean Of the
corps, J. J. Jusserand. went home
early in the summer for a visit to
their beloved France. trumors were
anoat that they would not return.
Then when he was appointed to the
extraordinary mission to Warsaw.
the rumor was considered by MANY
to be confirmed but recently the
French government officially de-
MED the rumor and to the delight
OF every man, has said that the
Ambassador will return this fall.
Both he and his American wife ar.
extremely popular here and society
set up general howl when IL was
hinted they were not coming back
The same rumor was circulated
when Viscount d'Alte, Minister Of
Portugal, went home in the spring
for visit, but he is already bach.
though he did not come to Wash
tngton- but went from New York
to Bar Harbor, where he usually
spends the summers. He has bAAn

SPANISH AMBASSADOR
MAY REMAIN HERE.
The Spanish Ambassador. Juan

poets to remain here, not even tax
ing a vacation this summer - he
hasn't taken any for several years
now. The Russian Embassy head
Is not only in this country, but I'm

ing a DIT en- route. His wife is in
Toronto for the summer and he

l doubt II; II he does IT will be
merely a flying trip. .
The Chilean Ambassador and Nina

Europe to join his wife, who sailed

Early last week practically all OF
the Cabinet members, the majority
Of whom are dividing their summer
between their families and their
offices in Washington. came flock
ing back to the city to be present
at the Cabinet meeting the Presi-
dent held on Tuesday.
Secretary Daniels got in town
Just about in time for the meeting
He has had, by the way. a most in
teresting summer as well as a cool
and pleasant one. Leaving Wash
lngton in July. he attended the San
Francisco convention, and from
there went with Judge Payne, Sec
retary of the Interior. to Alaska to
inspect some coal and oil fields
After Alaska he came back to the
Pacific Coast. where he was Joined
by Mrs. Daniels. and the two OF
them had a merry time touring the
Yellowstone Park.
The Cabinet meeting must have
been more than usually important
With the exception of Secretary
Wilson and Secretary Alexander, all
of the members were there, and the
meeting lasted from o'clock tc
$3.50 o'clock in the afternoon. To-
ward the end of the week the Cabi.

must be going up to Dayton for

the only Cabinet member present
at the ceremonies. With Mrs Mere.

however, that the wary ones didn't

Secretary Daniels wanted to go

but after an absence of several
months he found SO much work con-
fronting him upon his return to
Washington that he didn't feel like
stealing the few hours necessary to
Sgo TO Dayton away from his desk.
Then, of courfe. with Secretary
Roosevelt resigning TO omen his
campaign, / imagine affairs in the
Navy Department are more than a
little upset. But believe he is 60
ing to slip away tonight 10 Hyde

cation, and Mrs. Daniels is going,
too.
Secretary Wilson is still at his
farm near Blossburg, Pa, with his
family. and Secretary Alexander is
at Gallatin, No, with Mrs. Alexander
and their daughters. Secretary Bsk-

took up to Philadelphia TO inspect

PALMER SPENDS WEEKEND
AT sTRoUDsBURG.
The Attorney General, A. Mitchell
Palmer, spent the week END up at
Stroudsburg with Mrs. Palmer and
their little daughter, Mary Dixon
Palmer. The Attorney General has
been spending the summer travelling
between StroudsbUrg and Washing
ton-when he wasn't at the conven-
tion. Their house on r street has
been closed in Mrs. Palmer's alb
sence, and Mr.. Palmer is staying at

on the lower Potomac, near Rock
Point, Nd. The Grains are Bslti-
more folks, Mr.. Grain being counsel
for the telegraph and telephone in
terests, which, you remember, were
taken over by the government and
run by the Postoffce Department
during the war. He was here dur
ing that period, holding down some
sort Of job in that connection, and
two years ago he lent Mount Vic
tory, a lovely place, with q sort Of
sublimated bungalow on II. TO the
Burlesons for the summer.
l remember when spending the
weekend several years ago at Rock
Point on a fishing party some one
there told me that M. Grain was
Lorn down in that country; was a
poor boy. He left as he grew UP,
made a fortune and returned TO buy
his old home and many adjoining
acres. on which he spent al kinds
OF money, until now he has a mag
niticen- estate OF huge proportions
there.
BY the way, speaking Of the
notification ceremonies at Dayton.
reminds me OF an interesting story
that Washington is laughing over
these days. II seems that a certain
popular monthly magazine am
not going to give the name-pub-
lished fiction story that is said to
give in detail the, inside history OF
some OF CoI's most private affairs.
l don't know whether 1t is true or
not but the story is being read
with glee by nearly everyone in
town.
