~OMAIENCENIEN at Tuskegee In
stitute is looked upon by many
people in the rural districts ana
ktowns and cities nearby as the time OF
IN annual pilgrimage to the Institute.
IN accord with this custom, at an early
hour this morning throngs of people
could be seen on the campus and many
teams and automobiles parked on the
old hitching ground. Many of these
had faced the heavy downpour of rain
last night rather than be late or alb
sent from the exercises which meant
so much to them. In addition to this
crowd large numbers of visitors came
by rail from points far and near, in
Guiding many white people from Mont
gomery Opelika and Auburn.

was a member.
The final party at which the class
appeared more or less collectively
was the dinner given a week ago
yesterday by the Secretary of the
Navy. John w. Weeks, Secretary
OF War. was there. among others,
and Maj Gen. George Barnett, whose
leave of absence from his post in
general charge OF the western di-
vision of the marine corps, with
headquarters at San Francisco, was
nearly over.

One of the most delightful events of
last week was the musicale, with
garden party sequel. which Col. and
Mrs. Francis T. A. Junkin gave out at
Calumet, the old Logan place at the
head of Thirteenth street. where they
have been installed since giving up
Twin oaks. This served to introduce
to Washington Mrs. Junkin's protsg@,
Miss Alice Miriam. a little lady with
great voice. who simply took her
audience by storm.
Through Mrs, Junkin's Interest. Miss
Miriam was able to study abroad for
nine years. and she won her spurs
last winter at the Metropolitan Opera
when she sang Micaela to Farrar's
Carmen. and did a number of other
exacting roles In brilliant style.
Prince Gagarine. of the Russian em-
bassy, also contributed to the delight

and the hostess. who Is herself gift

solos. The tea which followed
brought the guests out into the shady
garden TO drink their tea under the
great trees.

WATCHING THE HARDIyGs
WHEN .OFF DUTY

Washington is watching with the
keenest interest and sympathy the
Hardlngs' evident intention to live
their own lives. and have their own
friends "outside of business hours"
SO to speak.
Every one realizes that they are
working hard. and not sparing them
selves, at their Job. But Presidents
| heretofore have seemed to feel that
they must eschew personal and social
friendships with persons Of political
! prominence, II they would avoid en-
| tangling alliances. But the Hard
| ings spend their leisure where and
how they please. Their going up to
| spend the weekend at Valley Forge
with the Knoxes was an instance of
this. 1t was exactly the sort of party
they would have enjoyed year ago.
| They are lovers of picnics and out-of-
| door life.
They doubtless enjoyed seeing
and Senator Knox was proud to
show them-the private golf course,
the tennis courts, the blooded stock
and stables which are the pride OF
Valley Forge farm.

The Hardings got back on Monday.
During the week the Presidents pro-
gram was unusually full, but he found
time to make a stirring address out at
the American University commence

pared this little talk along the lines
of the usual address to a group of
young men who are starting out in

auditors were graybeards. so perhaps
he can syrnDathize with X G. B. who
tells of having been asked to address
the Y. NJ. II. A, Of having prepared an
address full of Hiberian jokes, Irish
history and happy illusions to the
greatness of ireland. and then OF hav-

BOATING PARTIES ON
THE BEAUTIFUL POTOMAC.


This White House garden garty was
the outstanding event OF week
which actually showed signs OF a
slackening of the social pace. although
there were enough pleasant parties on
the calendar to prevent any possibility
OF boredom. Mrs. Harding took somo
guests, most OF 'em friends from out
Of town, on personally conducted
visit to Mt. Vernon one afternoon,
making the trip down the Potomac
on the Sylph, the Secretary OF the
Navy's yacht, with tea served aboard
on the return cruise. And few days
later she was a guest on the same
smart little craft upon which she had
played hostess. This was when Mrs.
DENLY, wife of the Secretary Of the
Navy. entertained the Presidents
wife and the wives OF the members OF
his official family, taking them for a
leisurely cruise down the river on
perfect summer afternoon.
The President--or the Presidents
wife--usually uses the Mayflower. OF
course, for any seagotng tunketing.
But understand that her boilers are
now undergoing some repairs; and,
besides, the Mayflower Is good deal
of a craft to take out for small party
and a brief sail.
Boating parties. by the way, seem to
be particularly popular Just now. The
officers attached to the Mayhower
have been entertaining a good deal
OF late, individually and collectively.
1t will hardly do to call their enter
tainments boating parties" for the
Presidents yacht naturally doesn't
go cruising casually. But the Peru
Wan Ambassador and Nine. Pezet
took a party for sail down the
river one Sunday not long ago, with
picnic luncheon planned which bad
weather finally coverted into an in
door party at the home of friends.
The young Sylvanus Stokees also
gave charming river party; and one
evening last week the indefatigable
British embassy bachelors chartered
rakish little craft and took merry
crowd of girls and young men for
floating picnic with Princess
Bibisco to play propriety.
The Vice President and Mrs. Cool
idge were out of town part of the
week, having gone up to Brooklyn
for some part of a giant Sunday school
celebration which has been an annual
event for nearly 100 years. So they
inquired rather tnan usuat In the
society news. Mrs. Coolidge, however
was the bright particular star at the
luncheon which Mrs. Theodore Tiller
and Mrs. William Wolff Smith gave
jointly at the Arts Club; and she
shared honors with Mrs. Whitelaw
Reid at Mrs. Henry c. Corbin's lunch
con out at Highwood on Wednesday,
This was sort of a housewarming
with reverse English, as Mrs Corbin
Is moving into town on June 15, hav-
ing let Highwood to Prince de Bearn,

The Secretary of State and Mrs.
Hughes were honor guests at two or
three important dinner parties, one
being giving by the Minister OF
Ecuador and Nine. Elizalde and an
other by the Minister of Colombia and
Nine. Urueta.
Secretary Hughes, too, attended the
dinner which the Japanese Ambassa-
dor, Baron Shidehara, had last eve
ming for his distinguished compa-
triot, Admiral Baron Uriu.
