The Washington herald., 1920-10-31
SOCIETY

cne of the best horsemen In or neaf
Washington. Ray Norton came up
as ! left, riding his Jack Frost"
the horse ! like best OF all of the
ones that come regularly to the
/ jumps on Sunday. Mr.. Norton al
| ways brings a string of horses, but
Jack Frost is quite the most beauti-
full and always wins the admiration
OF the crowd of onlookers and
horsemen. The good looking, sandy
| haired Mr.. Shea was there per
usual" but wasn't riding. He drove
out in his electric.
Artist Stone There.
- Among the riders was Seymour
Stone. the artist whose picture of
Mrs. Wilson has just been COM
/ pleted. He was riding with Col. T.
@. Donaldson. / understand that
Mrs. Donaldson arrived in New York
a day or two ago, after her summer
abroad. Col. Donaldson went up to
New York to meet her on Wednes-
day. They expect to return to Wash
ington today or tomorrow.
A party of us went over to Mr..
Stones studio in the Powhatan aft
er the Sunday ride to look at his
portrait of Mrs. Wilson. 1t was the
first time l had seen 1t and l was
quite awed. They say the President
likes it above anything else that has
been painted of Mrs. Wilson and
can't blame him. have heard
pretty reliable rumors to the effect
that he likes it so well that Mr..
Stone may receive a commission to
paint him, but that is only rumor.
The portrait is now on exhibition
at Mr.. stones studio. He finished IL
Monday morning. adding just a few
touches to the background to make
II more interesting. The President
received Mr.. Stone last Monday,
viewed the portrait, raved about 1t,
chatted with Mr.. Stone for fully a
half hour and presented him with
an autographed photograph of him
self
Speaking of the T. Q. Donaldsons
brings to my mind the rumor that
their pretty daughter-she is lovely
and very attractive-has at last de-
cided to take one of her battalion
of suitors-for she has just bunch
es OF them" 1t is said that the
lucky man is an army officer named
Rucker-Casper B., / think, and
think he has just been made a ma
jor. and ! think-note the thinks
the wedding will take place in De-
cember. Whoever he is. he is a
lucky man.

was correct about most of it-rath-
er I've already been proved correct
about most of it and the correctness
of my thinking" about the rest may
yet be proved. But / told you Sam
Kaufman and Miriam Hoy were
about to announce their engage
ment and that Marie Sims was en-
gagged TO some Tennessee man! He
proved to be Edward Garrett Rid
dick, OF Memphis, Tenn. Someone
tried to tell me the lucky man in that
case was the young nephew of Mrs.
Hampson Gary who went abroad
with Mr.. and Mrs. Gary as private
secretary to the former when he
went to Switzerland as United
States Minister. / guess they got
that into their heads because Marie
Sims visited the Garys in Switzer-
land. but l hardly thought that ru-
NOR was correct. Let's see. what
was his name?-I have II: IL was Eu-

Gary's sister and Yale graduate

ty that Mrs. cambridge Colby gave
as wife of the Secretary of State-a
tea, it was, for the diplomatic corps.
The Geddeses were there that day
and I met them for the first time,
the former having been ambassador
here only few weeks at that time.
The Garys were visiting here then
while Mr.. Gary was on leave. hav-

LANGLEY FIELD FULL
OF CHARMING FOLK.
Speaking of Billy Mitchell re-
minds me to tell you a little some
thing of my trip last week to one of
his happy bunting grounds" Lang
ley Field. near Old Point Comfort,
Va. l went down to stay with the
bride and groom. Lieut. and Mrs
Ralph Bridges Bagby. who have
lovely quarters down there and are
as happy as two turtle doves" Mrs.
Bagby was Anne Elizabeth Robert
son, you know. 1t is a charming
place to be stationed: beautifully To-
Gated with water all around, good
roads. everything to have good
time with and charming group of

set of young married folk. Among
the latter is Elizabeth Reside,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Reside, of this city, who is mar
ried to Lieut.. Terry Reynolds, an
aviator who is stationed at Langley
Field. Among the most attractive
OF the young matrons is the COM
mandants wife, Mrs. Hensley, wife
of Col. William n. Hensley, Jr., for
merly of the cavalry. He was att
tached to the Office of the military
attache at the United States lega-
ton at the Netherlands until rather
recently during which time the Hen
sleys Travelled over Europe and It
is interesting to hear Mrs. ,Hensley
tell about the trip. talk of European
conditions, and such, for she is an
extremely clever young lady with a
splendid mind and the ability to ex-
press herself we'll. She is quite a
clever writer, too, I'm told. At any
rate she is certainly pretty-of the
blond type, vivacious and decidedly
the leader in all things there at the
post. She has one child, Billy Sd.
who is about two or three years of
age and the cunningest blond tot
you ever saw and certainly the ap-
pie Of his fathers eye. Another
particularly attractive person was
Mrs. Place, wife of Lieut.. Fred
Place. He was a good looking some
body himself. They have one child,
