Photos Of the three lovely children

Guest and his wife. who was Miss
Amy Phipps of Pittsburgh, have just
grouped much after the way of Sir
Joshua Reynolds. the picture is in
every way admirable. The photos are
taken from the excellent oil painting
made during the past month by Am
brose McEvoy of New York. Mrs.

votedly American, and, with the en-

An interesting scribe about TO de-

genial companions for fishing trip

Florida. He and the late Senator
Knox often met in these waters. and
occasionally some of the other states
men and some Of the officials of the
British embassy could be lured off by
visions of the mighty tarpon to be

So many of the diplomats now sta

habit Of contributing to American
magazines that knowledge of their

entertainment. The Italian ambassa-
dor. who stands for agricultural litera-
ture in his sunny land as much as Mr..
Wallace or the former secretary of
agriculture. Edwin Meredith. does in
this. has recently written a fascinating
picture Of bucolic progress in the land
of Virgil, showing how intensely his
countrymen cultivate the soil and how
skilfully they unite utility and beauty.
He gives some amazing figures about
what they produce in a small, area and
how it compares with that yielded to
American farmers in an almost countless
number Of acres. The Prince Bibesco

ago. Lady Astor has sent over some
timely advice to the women connected
with the conference. via another period
ical, and it is all to the tuEe to oppose
war in every guise and to keep up the

by for a fortnight while en- route to
try the loftiest peaks of the Canadian

gave a good account of himself dur
ing the war and fought to the last
day for the survival OF the Haps-

proprietors of Hungary. lost all that

home. The count was frequently the
host of Mark Twain during the hu-

at the disposal of the Perry Belmonts
while they were seeking a summer
residence in the Hungarian high
