Many Entertainments for
Brilliant French Visitor
BY EVELYN C. HUNT.

-ASTER parties, Easter guests,

IL were quite overshadowed by
the interest in the visit OF NJ. Rene
Viviani. former premier Of France,
who arrived in the Capital the mid
die of last week for an oficial visit
to this country. II is the second
time he has come over recently,
the first time being as the nations
guest and the head Of the war mis-
sion. while the conflict was on.
Marshal Jofrre, one of the wars
greatest heroes, was a member OF
that mission and rather monopo-
lized the interest OF the public at
the time. The majority were SC
enthused over seeing and meeting
him then that they hardly remem-
ber who else was along. The mis-
sion was entertained every minute
of its stay here.
This time. however. Viviani comes
not as the guest of the United
States He is staying at the Shore
ham Hotel. When he came over
before he and his mission were
housed at the residence of Henry
White, who was at one time United
States Ambassador to France. They
were met then in New York by Of
fcials of the State Department and
rendered all sorts of honors. NJ
Viviani was received with courtesy
this time. but not coming as a guest
OF the nation. all those attentions
were unnecessary.
Apparently Viviani will be kept
constantly on the go this trip. for
all sorts OF parties have been given
for him and are being planned for
the remainder of his visit. The
French Ambassador entertained q
distinguished company of statesmen
Including the Vice President and

The Hardings brought joy to the
hearts of thousands of children and
many grown-ups, too, when they
gave them free rIn of the White
House grounds last Monday to roll
their Easter eggs and TO listen to
the Marine Band concert. That
place was a sight to behold: a mass
of humanity. They all did have such
good time and were quite over
joyed when President and Mrs
Harding (and Laddie Boy, their dog }

THE Hardings gave a dinner

be a desirable location; 1t isn't far
from Washington: there are Ave
golf courses near by and two men,
bers OF the Cabinet, Hughes and
Mellon, usually spend their sum-
mers near there. The Cabinet, as a
whole, have not really become set
tied in Washington. Most of them
are house hunting and therefore
have not really entered into society
to any extent.
The Hughes, the Weeks and the
Hoovers, all OF whom have houses
and are settled in them. are really
the only exceptions. They are be-

Bankers Consider
New Haven Plans
To Meet Maturity
New Financing or Extension
Of Foreign Loan Due in
1922 Discussed; Prog
ress in the Negotiations

Preliminary discussions relative to
financing the requirements Of the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford Rail-
road have been started between repre-
sentatives of the company. and the
bankers, it was reported in Wall Street
yesterday. The discussions relate spe-
officially to taking care of the $27,5S2,-
1853 4 per cent European loan of 1907
OF the New Haven. which falls due
next April.
Although it was said at the offices
OF j. P. Morgan & Co. that there had
been no negotiations relative to tinanc-
ing the maturity, officials of the New
Haven railroad were optimistic Of the
outlook. One interest closely associ-
are working on this maturity. No de-
tails are ready yet, but there is every
hope that it will be provided for"
In other quarters it was asserted
that sufficient progress had been made
to warrant the assumption that when
the debentnres mature April they will
either be paid off through the crea-
tion of new issue of securities or
will be extended.
The $27 ,582, ,163 debenture issue was
floated originally in franc denomina
tions only and the bonds were taken
by French investors. In 1916 large
number of the debentures found their
way to the United States as result of
liquidation by the French, and an
arrangement was made by j. p. Morgan
& Co. whereby new dollar debentures
were given in exchange for the French
denomination bonds. OF the original
issue $402,837 have been cancelled, and
at present there remain outstanding
S14,118,000 in dollar denominations
and $13,464,162 in franc denominations,
the latter being held largely abroad.
1t is said that in connection with
the proposed funding of this obliga-
tion there are other matters of the
greatest Importance having a bearing
on the situation which if finally adopt
ed will strengthen the financial and
operating position of the New Haven.
Daily conferences are being held be-
tween representatives of the New Ha-
ven and important trunk lines con-
Meeting with the New Haven relative
to larger division of freight rates
for the New England road. 1t is said
that change in the basis of division
such as is being discussed would give
the New Haven between $6,000,000 and
$7,O00,000 additional revenue annual

net gain of 3M points and a new high

early in the market session that the
stock had been tipped for rise. One
Wire house, as the result of inquiries
regarding the company, learned that

Probably the best explanation for the
