In the house OF lords when the
| King and Queen opened Parliament
the other day, the spread Of repub-
licanism in Europe was typified on
the right of the throng where the
diplomatic CORPS was jammed. so
I'm told. The American Ambassa-
| dor no longer enjoys the unique
distinction of wearing plain evening
dress without any decorations at
court functions. He now shares the
privilege with the Germans, Aus
trians. Czecho-Slovaks and South
| Slavs., but Ambassador Harvey's
| large-sized horn trimmed spectacles
remain a distinguishing character
istic.
The German ambassador was one
OF the best looking men in the box,
but the most distinguished was
Merry Del Val, the Spanish Ambas-
sador, a stately. stage-like figure
in his magnificent trappings with
the collar of the Golden Fleece, so
I hear. On the opposite side of the
house was the handsome Marchion-
ess of Headfort, Rosie Boots of the
Gaiety Theater.
A droll sight was that of six
dukes, together on a bench intend
! ed for four, with the Duke of Marl-
| borough in their midst picking his
| teeth. Can you imagine it,
These robes give all men, except
the extremely tall, spare and up
right, a sloppy hunched appear
ance, and the absence of visible
neck is fatal to dignity of deport-
ment
Another bit of gossip that has
reached my ears is that Rear Ad-
miral Victor Blue, u. S. N. and
Commander F. l.. SandoZ are the
promoters Of a movement to estab-
lIsh a winter resort in Florida for
army and navy officers and their
| families. The idea Is to give our
service people a chance at the Palm
Beach and Miami life, which is be-
| yond the reach of folk who have
tc live on Uncle Sans pay. 1t is
hoped to purchase an estate on
Fort George Island. near Jackson
VILE, and utilize a fine old South
| ern mansion called THE Home
stead" for community hotel pur-
poses. rhe property is $40 acres In
area and it Is proposed to convert
It into cottage sites on some army
and navy club cooperative plan.
Society's most recent entrant into
the business and professional field
is Mrs. James Lee Shelton, OF
| Washington and Richmond. who
has opened a studio for instruc-
tion in auction bridge at the Van
6erbilt Hotel in New York. Mrs.
Shelton is one of the few Virgin
ians who have been presented at
the Court of Italy. Her appear
ance here is under the sponsorship
of Mrs. George Gordon Battle.
Mrs. Theodore Tiller is giving her
self birthday party tomorrow. She
always celebrates her own birthday in
some charming manner. It is to be
a tea and no cards have been sent
out for 1t. Instead Of flowers in the
CEN ,r Of the tea table she is going
to have a wonderful cake with exactly
the right number of candles on IT
and will let everybody stand around
and count them. Isn't she a brave
woman! Once when her birthday
came on Friday-Friday the 18Th.
you see-she had a party with black
cats "and thiHgs" all about. 1t was
most attractive! Mrs. Tiller makes
charming hostess and always has
unusual and particularly attractive
