an exodus in almos, every direction
10 the southern mountains. to the
north, 10 Europe, to the Pacific coast
and 10 the Orient. A few houses arc
being closed. but. generally speaking
there is some one remaining behind
either the male head OF the family OF
a busy woman in Il. who will join the
family later.
The President and Mrs Harding
have inaugurated their summer pro-
gram OF Mayaower trips. a sail with
tea aboard. and return in time for
dinner. The hrs, one OF these par.
ties Mrs. Harding gave a, the end
OF last week. when she took Mrs.
Coolidge and the members OF the
Senate Ladies club down the river
about 40 miles, starting at 2:S0 in the
afternoon, having tea on the return
trip and docking about $50.
The river is quite gay with yachts
this spring and more than ever is the
desire for a smart yacht club felt.
The talk for il is revived. but each
season before when il was talked OF
following the pressure Tor it. the
very people who need and want i, sail
away for a cooler cline and the prof.
Get was dead again for another sea-
son. The Senator Gcrrys, Randall
Hagners, Robert Thompsons and
Larz Andcrsons have fostered the
idea for several years and the sight
OF these really stunning yachts such
as Col. Thompson's. the Frelinghuy-
sons, the Glenn Stewards and the
Larz Anderson's houseboat lying out
between the barracks and the. Poto-
mac park. shows the desirability OF
the new yacht club more than ever.
A season in Washington without
cabinet wedding is next to 10
season at all. This unprecedented
one, fast turning into history. will
have fitting close with the we'd
ding OF the second daughter OF the
secretary OF state and Mrs. Hughes
and Chauncey Lockhart Waddell on
Saturday, June 10. 1t will be OF
more than ordinary interest. The
brides family has been identified
with several different circles Of So
ciety, making its visiting lists enor-
nous. Personally they are all ac-
tive in college circles. then also
prominent in the official. diplo-
matte, supreme court and smart
resident society OF both New York
and Washington. There is but
small company of guests invited to
witness the ceremony in the pic
turesque. quaint little Bethlehem
chapel of the cathedral. The re-
ception, to which a large company
has been invited, will be held at
4:30 in the Pan-American Union
building, which is unsurpassed for
beauty of setting for such func-
tion. The gardens will be at their
best and. while the reception will be
held indoors, it will be as much
of all al fresco party as otherwise.
Miss Hughes has a charming
group of attendants, including her
sister -in-law, Mrs. Charles Evans
Hughes, jr, of New York, and the
bridegroom's sister, Mrs. ]. R. Dun
lap Of Akron, O., where he formerly

Rt. Rev. Alfred Harding Bishop Of
Washington will officiate at the
ceremony and Rev. DR.. w. S. Aber-
nethy. pastor Of the Calvary Baptist

President and Mrs. Harding go
more frequently than anywhere else,
will assist the bishop.
The two grandsons of Secretary
Huges, Charles Evans Hughes, Sd,
and Stuart Hughes, will be pages.
The parents of the bridegroom. Mr..
and Mrs. Edwin ]. Waddell of
Greenfield, O., as we'll as his broth
er-in-law and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dunlap, will arrive about the 5th of
June and number of small enter
tainments will be given among very
intimate friends for the bridal party,
which, by the way, will in itself,
with the members of the families,
almost fill the tiny chapel. Miss
Elizabeth Hughes, the youngest Of
the secretary's daughters, is still in
Bermuda, where she went early last
winter for her health. which is frail.
She will not join the family until
they take possession of Greystone,
the beautiful suburban place where
they spent last summer. 1t is a
and perfectly equipped
place standing on ledge overlook
ing Rock Creek park at one of its
most beautiful points. Miss Helen
Hughes, Oldest daughter of the sec
retary, was the one best known in
Washington, where her death in the
early days Of the late war was
keenly felt.
No more beautiful setting in the
matter of private grounds for fete
could be found than the splendid ones
of Twin Oaks, the lovely suburban
homes Of Charles J. Bell on Woodley
lane. where last Saturday afternoon
a great fete was held for the bene-
fit of Neighborhood House, where
one of the best industrial charities
is being carried on under the direc-
ton of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. P. S. Neigh,
formerly of Nebraska, artists and
artisans worthy of the wide scope of
their work. Society maids and ma
irons transformed themselves into
Italian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss,
Norwegian, Serbian, Armenian and
Chinese ladies and sold the most
fetching articles for the benefit Of
the good cause. Little children in the
costumes of these same countries
made a riot of color over the hill
locks and ravines in the grounds and
a great bridge party played on the
lawn for nearly two hours, under
