The Washington herald., 1920-05-02

worn low over the brow. She is
slender; has a lovely figure, and is
quite good looking indeed. She is
quite as tall as her husband, too,
If not a wee bit taller.
The Joseph Davies were there
that evening. Mr.. Davies told me
that his old friend, Col Richmond p.
Davies-now in the Philippines
hopes to return to Washington
shortly. Col. and Mrs. Davies lived
here for several years and were very
active socially and extraordinarily
popular. 1t is good news to hear
that they may return. 1t would be
easier to tell you who wasn't at the
Barrett function. Maj. Teiusanu. of
the Rumanian Legation staff, was
there, but not his wife; she has been
quite i'll for several weeks. They
are expecting to go home shortly,
am told. All eyes. of course, were
centered that night on the Colbys
and the Geddeses. as many Of the
guests hadn't met either noted pair
before. Mrs. Geddes looked even
prettier in the evening than she had
that afternoon. for she looks better
without her hat.
SOCIETY AGoG OVER REPORT
OF VICE AMBASSADOR.
1t seems that the rumor which
has long floated about to the effect
that Canada is going to send a sep
arate representative here-a sort Of
vice ambassador-is about to come
true. 1t now sounds as though the
new envoy will be second in COM
mand to the British Ambassador,
with the rank OF minister, perhaps
with a staff all his own.
Thus Canadian affairs, as far az
the United States government is
concerned. will continue to be
transacted in Washington through
the British Embassy. But the ac-
tual effect of the new plan will be
that they will be handled and con-
Quoted. as has not been the case
hitherto, by actual Canadians de-
irving their authority and instruc-
tions directly from the Dominion
government at Ottawa
If. that does come about. 1 sup
pose we will establish some such
organization of our own in Canada.
Quite naturally, society here is>in-
tensely interested in this rumor, for
IL 1t Is true, 1t will find in its midst
number of diplomats who will
take a more or less active part in
its activities.
OF course. with the rumors come
names of ambassadorial possibili-
ties, and foremost among them ap-
parently is the name of Sir Doug
las Hazen, of St. John. New Bruns-
wick. He has been offered the po-
sition and refused 1t, but is being
urged to reconsider. Whether he
will or not, remains to be seen. He
is already known in Washington,
as he has been here as a repre-
sentative of the Canadian govern
ment in connection with the Cana
He belongs to one of the very old
est families of that section of Can
ada. He has three daughters and
one son living-King Hazen, who is
a lawyer. One son died in the
great war.
The younger daughter, Katie, Is
attending school abroad, the two
others are married, the oldest
daughters husband being that fine
young and very good looking hero
Of the war, T. Malcolm McAvity,
D. s. o., lieutenant colonel. General
STAFF. Canadian Corps, B. E. F., who
was in France from 1914 to 1919.
He Is a son of John A. McAvity,
one of the six sons of Thomas Nc
Avity. the founder of that large
business. the valve and fittings fac
tory of st. Johns, T. McAvity and
Sons, a rival OF the huge business
of Charles r. Crane. T. Malcolm
McAvity is also a brother of AL
Ian McAvity, of st. Johns, who was
connected with the imperial muni-
tions board during the war, and
who has spent so much time In
Washington during the last two
years. Malcolm is rather young, about
80, but a fine outstanding young
man, and II his father-in-law does
come to Washington as Canada's
envoy, 1t is TO be hoped that he
and his wife will come down here
to visit the Hazens quite often.
Their second daughter. Katie. mar
ried man named MaeKay; I can't
recall his first name, but everyone
calls him Buff" MacKay.
SIR CHARLES GORDON ALSO
WELL KNOWN IN CAPITAL,
Sir Charles Gordon, who has been
mentioned as another possibility,
is also known here. as he was sta
toned in Washington during the
war as chairman of the British war
Mission. Lady Gordon took q house
