The first of June apparently Is
going to find Washington full of
people and still very gay. As Con-
gress will be in session that long at
least,n II not longer, few are yet
making their summer plans-unless
they are planning 20 remain here all
summer. Judging from present IN
dications, Washington will be gay
all summer. as gay perhaps as it
was during the world war when
few people sought cooler climes.
A large number are looking for
homes in the suburbs for the sum-
mer months instead Of planning to
go further from base. After all one
can be much more comfortable often
that way than they can in a hotel
a number of Washington society
members are at the Hot Springs or
White Sulphur or down at Allan
tic City, but In most cases just for
a short period. A few people like
the Irwin B. Laughlins and the Syl-
vanus Stokes. jr., have already de-
cided on Newport for the summer,
and the Frederick Hydes have al

Maine.
MRS. FRED BRITTEN SAILS
WITH LENGTHY PETITION,
Mrs Fred Britten has gone abroad
for the summer. her husband a rep
resentative from Illinois, planning
to JOIN her later She was abroad
most Of last summer. The Brittens,
whom I've always heard didn't take
much part in the social activities in
Chicago certainly are a lively fac
tor in Washington society. They go
everywhere. Mrs. Britten, who one
thinks Of generally as only a very
good alooking, smartly gowned So
eiety woman, generally pictured un-
consciously in ones mind on a bali
room hoor, has gone abroad-sailed
last Wednesday-to present to Mar
shall Foch a protest against the re-
tentton OF African troops in Ger
nany. / don't know Just why she
should have been chosen for that
task. can't quite make out how
oficial her trip is either. I imagine
her husband did the choosing.
He seems to be deeply inter
ested in that little matter. He
Is Withholding for the present.
until he sees the results of his
wife's visit upon Marshall FochS
and who could resist her smiles,
pray tell me-a resolution he has
prepared for President Harding
asking him to use his influence with
the President of France for the re
movai of these troops. I'm rather
under the impression that there are
few. IL any, such troops over there
now.

The protest Mrs. Britten ssiIaa
away with last Wednesday, be-
lieve was signed by several thou
sand petitioners from every State
in the union who feel that those
colored semi-civilized troops should
not be In control of white Christian
people, think Britten talked
with .yiviani Oh the subject before
he sailed for France early in the
week,
I was interested to read that Mrs.
Willfsm Miller Graham, of New
York and California, and prominent
socially In many other large cities
including the National Capital, has
won . divorce in Oklahoma. The
story-i continued that Mrs. Miller
Graham Is internationally known
