It's been amusing to note how
many of our distinguished scientists
have been taken down from their
inches and busted off. as II were, to
commune with his fellow-workers
from overseas. There were even sew
guests which the French Ambassa-
dor and Nine. Jusserand gave for
Prince Albert-France being a sort
of big sister to Monaco.
The pace OF the first few days of
the Princes visit was exceedingly
fast and his highness is not SO young
as he used to be, so there was no
wonder that he gave out and had to
withdraw from some of the parties
arranged for him. He was forced to
send his regrets to the Cosmos Club
---washington's most erudite organi-
alton. with a membership made up
almost entirely OF scientific men,
for its reception in his honor. And
Robert Woods Bliss, Third Assistant
Secretary OF State, cancelled the din
ner which he was to have given for
the Prince. John Hays Hammond
and the Gilbert Grosvenors had their
dinner parties as schedule, but 1t

Various scientific bodies are making
much of him. and he has been shar-

Albert Einstein, also a recent guest

thing which the prince shares with

sHARPs VISIT
IN WASHINGTON.
William G. Sharp, sometime our
ambassador to France, and Mrs
Sharp, who were in Washington the
greater part of last week, were ''in
on" several of the parties for the
Prince of Monaco. They were among
those present" at the luncheon in mis-
honor at the French embassy, and
they were guests of the prince on
Wednesday when he ga e a luncheon
at his hotel-the Washington--to re-
turn some OF the courtesies showered
upon him. Moreover, Mr.. and Mrs.
Sharp attended the reception to the
prince in the galleries of the National
Museum on Monday evening, taking
with them Senator and Mrs. Atlee
Pomerene, who had dined with them.
The Sharps were guests OF Senator
and Mrs, Pomerene over Sunday. They
we're entertained at dinner by Mr.. and
Mrs. Carl Joerissen to meet Senator
and Mrs Frank 3. willis--an "all
Ohio" party. And Mrs. Sharp re-
cetved with Mrs. Wade Ellis at her
afternoon at home, many OF her old
friends seizing this opportunity to
see her. That same evening
Wednesday-she had to leave town in
order to get back to her home in
Illyria, Ohio, to complete arrange
ments for concert held at her house
on Friday night for the beneft of the
Miss Anne Morgan fund for devas-
tated France. Mr.. Sharp remained
here until Friday evening.
