Is here to be near him. She fol-
lowed him abroad wien he was over
there. They are the most delight
full pair together; it is a joy to see
them, She is so full of pep" and
takes such a keen interest in af-
fairs that she is the best of COM
pany for all ages and is quite an
addition to any party. Maj. Pen

Since the picketing of the Brit
ish Embassy SO many people have
asked me, Who is Sophie Stanton?
Is she descendant of Edward
NJ. Stanton who was mem
ber of Lincoln's Cabinet?" Yes, she
is. I've learned that much about
her. She is Sophy Carr Stanton and
is to be found in the social regis
ter-also at the Farnsboro where
she has an APARTMENT. And she
is the last person on earth you
would expect to get into a riot. But
the fact remains that she did. Miss
Stanton and Mrs. Arthur LaTkin in
passing the pickets were said to
have remarked upon the Inscription
on a banner carried by Miss Mary
McKenna, Of New York-"England.
American women condemn your
reign of terror in the recognized
Irish republic''-that This Is an
insult that should not be allowed"
and proceeded to tear the placard
from its standard.
PRESENCE OF MRS. LARKIN
MAY HAVE HAD ITS EFFECT.
think perhaps the fact that she
was with Mrs. Larkin had some
thing to do with her actions. for
she is a Britisher; is the sister-in-
law of Capt. Larkin, the former
British military attache at Rome.
She is visiting Miss Stanton. Miss
Stanton has spent much OF her life
abroad, usually touring Europe with
her mother, who died while in Ger
many after the beginning of the
war, mainly, so the story goes, from
lack OF proper nourishment and the
care OF doctors-the' Germans were
rot very kind to them. After that
Miss Stanton went to Rome as she
knew the American Ambassador.
Thomas Nelson Page. quite we'll.
Shortly after that she became priv
ate secretary TO Mrs. Page and steer
I'd her olevecly along the proper
social paths. Miss Stanton knew
Europe well: was world-travelled
and was familiar with court eti-
quette. She is most dignified, cul-
tGred, artistic and altogether charm
ing-as I said. the last person to
start riot. After this country en-
tered the world conflict she left Mrs.
Page and worked with our Red
Cross at the front in France. When
her work was completed, she came
back to Washington.
