Homecoming of the Countess Guy

A number of years have elapsed

Prior to her marriage 70 the
scion of the ancient house Of de

the feted bellies OF the Newport

cardiac organ of one member of
that somewhat antiauated organi

Reading Room, will trip along a
bit faster when the news Of N"
countess homecoming reaches the

In a way, Mrs George Henry

Truth to tell, Mrs. Warren Is

THE Institute of Politics was
organized last year on the in
spiration OF DR.. Harry A. Gar.
field. the brilliant president OF
Williams College. for discussion
and study Of international rela.
tions; and so successful was 1t
that it will probably be repeated
each yesr-if It can be financed.
This time as vel as last the
angel OF the institute is Ber-
nsrd Barucf. OF New York.
The Minister of Bulgaria and
Nine. Panaretoff were the first
to go from Washington to VIII

son, who Is vice chairman Of the
tariff commission, will have
charge of one of the round table
conferences. attended by persons
who are making an intensive
study Of some particular phase
Of international relations, which
Will be a feature of the program.
Others from Washington who will
take a prominent part in the pro-
Cedure are DIR. l.. S. Rowe, di-
rector general of the Par.Ameri
can Union; Oscar T. Crosby, some-
time Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, and a whole grist OF
high-ranking army and navy Of
ficers.
The minister OF Czechoslovalkia,
DR.. Bedrich Stepanek. who has
been at home on leave for six
weeks or two months, is returning
especially to attend the Institute
of Politics; and Felipe Espil,
charge d'affaires Of Argentina, is
another diplomat who will put
in the next several weeks at
Willimastown. One of the round
table conferences will be directed
by David Franklin Houston, who
was Secretary Of Agriculture and
later Secretary of the Treasury
under President Wilson. jointly
with Paul M. warburg, Of Now

THREE of the conferences will
deal with economic Questions
now arising in Europe, thrHe with
problems OF the Pacific and the
Far East, two with Latin.Amar.
tea. two with unsettled questions
Of international law and two with
problems OF the British Umpire.
One will be devoted to boundary

The Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge, who left Washington
yesterday, but are putting in a
few days in Boston before 60
ing west, will be in the van
guard of the notables assem-
bling at San Francisco. Chief
Justice Taft will attend the
convention-I have not heard
whether or not Mrs. Taft is ac-
companying him-and among
the bright particular stars of
the legal armament in attend
ance will be Lord Shaw, of
Dumferline. who will be under
the wing of John W. Davis,
sometime our Ambassador to
Great Britain, while he is in
this country.
RARoN SHAW is accompanied
by his daughter. so one rather
takes 1t for granted that Mrs.
Davis and not improhably Miss
Davis will go along out to Califor-
MIA. The visit OF the distinguish
ed British jurist to this continent
is for the purpose OF taking in the
American Association meeting and
the Canadian Bar Association meet
ing, at which he is also scheduled
to speak. Without having heard
anything definite as to Baron
Shaw's itinerary, Washington
rather takes it for granted that
he will come by and give us
the once over"-distinguished
visitors from overseas always do
and presumably theren be
round of entertaining for him
here
Undoubtedly Baron Shaw will
be made much of by the Ameri.
can bench and bar, but unless he
fingers rather longer in this Coun-
try than seems probable, the
Supreme Court will not take any
official part in his entertainment.
This august body is well scattered
now, with Justice McReynolds the
only one Of its members in town,
and presumably will not assemble
again until the first week in
Octo3er when the court convenes.
The Charles Henry Buffers and
the Wade Ellises are among the
Washingtonians who will be ih
San Francisco for the convention.
The Buffers have been spending
the summer at Montsweag Farm,
their country home in Maine, as Is
their custom, but started last weak
for the Pacific coast and propose
10 visit one OF their sons while
they are in California. MIR. Ellis
has been In California for some
weeks and Mrs. Ellis left town =
week or ten days ago to Join him
She Is making the trip by motor
with Mrs. Watson, wife OF Senator
James E. Watson, who will visit
in southern California until
autumn.
THE Coolidges had hoped to
combine business with pleas
ure. travelling rather extensively
ever. as though they would have
to give that up. They are not
making any definite arrange
ments, for their plans depend a
good deal upon what Congress de-
cides to do. II the Senate Is
still in session, they will hasten
back to Washington, for Mr..
Coolidge takes his Constitutional
duties very seriously; but IL the
Upper House should take 1t into
its head to adjourn they may stay
a bit longer and will certainly
20 home to Massachusetts, for n
while before coming back to Wash
ington.
Despite their disappointment Mt
the probable curtailment Of their
holiday they are looking forward
with great pleasure to the trip,
which will he the only thing
in the nature Of a vacation MIR.

summer. Mrs. Coolidge visited
