unusual diplomatic training. He Is
said to be one of the two men in
the service who have studied at the
French School of Diplomacy-again
i am wondering. and this time IL
the other man was Albert B. Rud-
dock, who was chief of the division
of Western Europe. from which po-
sition he went with the Charles r.
Cranes to China as secretary of the
American Legation - Pekin. 1t
seems that 1 have been told that he
studied diplomacy in France.
But to return again to Mr.. white.
He is a graduate of Yale Univer-
sity and studied later for two years
in Paris and Madrid In preparation
for a diplomatic career. His first
diplomatic post was as third secre-
tary of the American Legation at
Pekin. After two years In that ca
pacity he was promoted to second
secretary of this legation. In jan
uary, 1918, he was transferred to
Teheran. Persia; in December of
1919 he was sent to Havana, and
in November. 1920, he was sent to
Buenos Aires as first secretary
from which he has been called to
Washington to take the place of
Mr.. welles in the State Department.
On a number of occasions Mr..
White has served as charge DAFT
faires Of the embassy in Buenos
Aires and has wide acquaintance
among Latin American diplomats.
He came to this country last week,
landing at New York after a trip
around Cape Horn with stops at
the capitals of Chile, Peru, Para
quay and Cuba. Meanwhile he Is
having little vacation until June 8.
washingtonians have become so
worn out with charity balls that
think the organizations which need
to raise money year after year might
take a tip from Philadelphia society
and lave a flower market like they
did the other day in fashionable
Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia.
We might use Dupont Circle or Scott
Circle-there are squares and circles
enough here for the purpose certainly.
Lafayette Square would be most
usable. In Philadelphia they sold
out flowers, have a farm booth,
vegetable booth, candy, plants,
flowers and honey. painted baskets.
settings, potted Wants, novelties.
butter and eggs, articles made
by injured men, herbs, spices, to-
mato plans, ice cream cones, cakes
and bananas and lemonade, while
fortune telling and Punch and Judy
were some of the features. Here
is part OF the article I read about 1t
in the Philadelphia paper. Let's try
it.; at least II is a novelty and balls
have become just the opposite. Think
Of the passers-by who would be at
tracted. who would stop and buy. too!

Another paper said:
However can l decide which Of
the dozens and dozens Of beautiful
and useful things to buy?"
However can / leave of looking
at the charming women and their
lovely garden costumes long enough
to see what they are selling?"
Thus were the masculine and fem

their Impressions in sketches as
colorful as the scenes before them.
Crouching on the coping Of the pond
