MFRS RICHARD I. WILSON TO ESTABLISH
SALON in HER APARTMENT

tron who adored people who could
accomplish things. and when she
started her salon there was no end
Of excitement in the social ranks.
Mrs. Stevens cared not one whit
for criticism. She sent out invita-
tions to the naughty social leaders
asking them to meet the well-known
theatrical stars, and vice versa.
Someone once said-I think It was
the late Oscar Wilde-in speaking OF
an English lady of title who had an
unsuccessful salon, 'She attempted
to establish a salon and only sue
ceeded in opening a restaurant" A
very clever saying, and just what
one would expect from the brilliant
Wilde. However, his witty saying
did not apply in Mrs, Stevens case.
The people who went to her house
Sunday evenings went because they
were certain of having jolly time.
The buffet and wines served were
simply, 80 as to speak, extra added
attractions.
But with the death Of Mrs.
Stevens the artistic world OF New
York lost it's social sponsor and not
until the late Mrs. Burt Harrison
started her Sunday evenings"
some years later at her home in
the Gramercy Park section did
metropolitan society boast of
real honest.to goodness salon. When
Mrs. Harrison shook the dust OF
the metropolis from her feet salons
went out Of fashion and for years
the artistic and social sets rarely
intermingled under the rooftree OF
a social leader. Several years ago

by the way, brought her tour
through the north of Africa TO an
end and is again in Paris, estab-
lished. a small salon in her apart.

Marshall Orme Wilson, and last.
but by no means least, Lady
Michael Herbert, has decided to
emulate the late Mrs. Paran
Stevens and establish a brilliant
salon at her apartment in West
Sixty-seventh street.
Mrs. Wilson, who Is a prominent
factor in society In this city, New
port and Saratoga Springs, has
done more to assist struggling art
lists, painters, etc, than any other
matron. For many years Mrs.
Wilson has. taken a leading part in
the activities OF her. friends, who
are legion. At Newport her es-
tate is constantly the scene of this
or that entertainment, at Saratoga
Springs she is hailed as queen"
by the social celebrities, and from
time to time she entertalns large
parties at her plantation south Of
the Mason and Dixon line. How.
ever, entertaining the same people
and hearing the same tidbits Of
gossip year in and year out be.
comes boring to a matron who al.
mires people who can accomplish
things that count in life.
Mrs. Wilson, to put the matter
bluntly, became bored with the
turreted tiara set and decided to
inject a bit OF ginger" into the
ranks of the late Ward McAllisters

Mrs. Stevens did. Many Interest

ability to make unsuccessful Bos-
ron hotels pay dividends, he was
called TO New York by the Emo fam
nv TO manage the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. which was erected by the
founder of the Emo fortune. Mrs.

The Belgians were not very we'll
organized to do honor to General
jacques; but they did the best they
could under the circumstances. The
Ambassador and Baroness de Car
tier had been abroad for two and
five months, respectively. and only
returned to America on the same
steamer with their distinguished
compatriot. Baron de Cartier re.
turned to Washington, believe. on,
the same train with General Jacques,
but the baroness did not come until
Thursday morning. So that the ar.
ranging Of entertainment for Gen
eral Jacques was rather held up.
There was, however, q luncheon at
the embassy in addition to the din
ner on Tuesday, the Secretary OF
State and Mrs. Hughes and the
British. Ambassador and Lady Ged-
des being among those present"
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Woods Bliss
also had a luncheon for General
Baron jacques. 1t was not ."offi-
cial." and l rather got the impress.
sion that they had known him
abroad and were renewing a pleas
ant acquaintance. Iknow the gen.
eral slipped off to Chester, Pa, for
a little visit with the Governor of
Pennsylvania and Mrs. Sproul, who
had met him on the other side and
become quite chummy.
0DO you suppose the President
and Mrs. Harding will be
there?" was a question repeatedly
asked with regard to- the reception
at the Italian embassy on Tuesday
night. 1t was easily answered
NO" In the first place, the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding were out of
town, having started that morning
for their trip to Birmingham, At
lanta and points South. Moreover,
it's a case of where MacGregor sits
10 the head of the table" Where
the President of the United States
goes he is the guest of honor. and
he couldn't be invited to a function
in honor of anyone, however distin-
guished. Then again. the reception
in honor of General Diaz was given
by Guido Sabetta, charge d'affsires
of the embassy in the absence of the
ambassador, Senator Rolandi RicoL
and there Ia no precedent for .
President accepting an invitation
from any foreign envoy save an am
bassador. who is the personal repre-
sentative of his sovereign.
You may remember that when the
President and Mrs. Wilson attended
the reception at the italian embassy
on that never.to-be forgotten Armis-
tice Day three years ago, the reosp-
ton was given not for any particu-
lar person but to celebrate the birth

The Washington times., 1921-10-30

YOU see, the American Legion's
three guests had exactly the
same status so far as precedence
was concerned. And the ques-
ton arose in some minds as to
whether it would be efficacy
to quote my old black nanny
for one of them to attend a
party given specifically in honor
of one Of the others. Gen.
Baron Jacques thought it would,
for, accompanied by the Belgian
Ambassador and the entire en-
bassy staff, he attended the re-
ception given at the Italian en-
bassy in honor Of General Diaz.
On the other hand, the Britishers
apparently answered the question
in the negative, for Admiral
Lord Beatty and Lady Beatty
were not present.
IN the matter OF dinner par
ties. moreover, everybody play
ed safe" the three visitors being
entertained individually by their
own embassy people. The Belgian
Ambassador gave a dinner for Gen.
eral Baron jacques on the evening
that Mrs. Marshall Field was enter
tanning for Admiral and Lady Beat
ty. The dinner at the British en-
bassy was on the same evening as
the Italian embassy party. There
WAS also a luncheon at the Belgian
embassy for General Jacques and
dinner on Thursday evening with
General Diaz as the guest of honor
and the military attache of the ltal-
ian embassy, Colonel, the Marquis
di Bernezzo, and the Marquise di
Bernezzo as hosts-and so on down
the list.
At the White House luncheon. OF
course, the three foreign visitors
were entertained together, but
equally, Of course. they were all
three the honor guests.
AS for Marshal Foch. he arrived
"A on Friday evening after the
other guests of the American.Legion
had left, 80 the matter Of his enter
tainment wasn't complicated at all
by questions Of precedence. He was
tho bright particular star OF spe'
cial luncheon at the White House

ception which was perhaps smaller,

The whole town seems to have
