spends much time at the Hot
Springs. has retired from pub
liz life. He has often visited
here and is quite we'll known
In Washington. The political

succeeded Sir wilfrid Laurier as
tpremier.

members Of the embassy stan, in
GLIDING Wen Pin Wei. third secre-

c. Yang. chancellor OF the legation,

day or two after he reached the

estate on the Severn River, near
Annapolis. and left Washington for
that place to locate his two chill
dren there for the summer. The
children are with the governess and
nurses who cared for them during

tached to those little Riddles" be-
cause they were both born here and
are quite Americanized. Their dear.
pretty little mother died of the
"fiu" here during the epidemic two
years ago. Both of their parents
