THE SOCIAL. STAGE IN WASIINGT

attend and address that meeting OF dis
tinguished American lawyers. and a
Canadian Bar Association meeting
which VIII almost Immediately follow
1t.
Baron Shaw will be under the chap
eronage of John w. Davis. former United
States Ambassador to Great Britain, and
as he is accompanied by his daughter
one rather takes 1t for granted that Mrs.
Davis and not improbably Miss Davis
will go along. Without having heard
anything definite as to Baron Shaw's
itinerary Washington rather takes 1t for
granted that he will come by and give
us the once over" as distinguished
visitors from the other side generally
do. And Of course there will be round
of entertaining for him. and so it is safe
to assume that he will come here on
his way home. when the Ambassador
will be here to play host to him.
The Charles Henry Buffers and the
Wade Ellises will be other well known
Washingtonians at San Francisco for
the Bar Association meeting. The
Buffers have been spending July and
part of June at Montsweag Farm, their
country home in Maine. but they left
there a week ago headed West. proposing
while they are out there to visit one Of
their sons Mr.. Ellis has been In the
West for some weeks and Mrs Ellis left
Washington about a week ago to join
him. She Is making the trip by motor
with Mrs. James Watson. wife of Sem
ator Watson. who will visit in southern
California until the fall.
The Coolidges had hoped to combine
business with pleasure and make quite
a tour of the West while they were
about it. But they had counted on Con-
gress being definitely adjourned and the
Vice-President's duties as presiding
officer of the Senate we'll over by this
time. But Mr. Coolidge takes that con-
stitutional duty rather seriously and
since the Senate is still in session he
and Mrs. Coolidge will return almost
Immediately to Washington as soon as
the convention Is over. Even at that
they are looking forward with great
pleasure to the trip, which will be the
only approach to a vacation that Mr..
Coolidge sees any prospect of. He is
due to address an industrial conference
near Boston on August 2, and after that
will gather up the boys, who are visit
ing at their grandfather's farm at
Plymouth, N. H., and the whole family
will head out to the coast. This will
be Mrs Coolidge's first visit to the real
West" and Of course it will be all new
to the boys.
