istration circle--and a distinct belle in
the younger set. Her fathers marriage
with the Presidents youngest daughter
her own wedding at Old ST. Johns with
as distinguished a company as ever at
tended a wedding in Washington-more
distinguished in a way that that which
attended the Hughes wedding last week,
because il was at the beginning of our
participation In the war. when that Won
derfully interesting company of high
commissions was over here. and Balfour
and Joffre and Reading were among
those present.
1t seemed almost impossible that lit
tie Sally McAdoo" should be that tall
young graduate. She remained in Wash
ington for while after her graduation,
making a few visits. but last Wednesday
she started for the West to join her
father and Mrs. McAdoo out In their
new California home.
Activities of Cabinet Group.
None of the Cabinet folk seem TO be
making any summer plans-apparentiy
feeling that il is futile. since the Presi-
den. had announced the disrupt on oil
his The Wardman Park group-the
Works and the Wallaces and the Ealls-
seem TO regard themselves as fairly
well settled for the summer. And Secre-
tary Davis Is still there, though Mrs
DAYS and the children are cut at
Mooseheart, where he will join them
whenever he can. Secretary FaI!-lm
not sure whether the plan included Mrs.
Fall--was to have met the President
ana Mrs. Harding at Seattle just about
now and gone OH TO Alaska with them
But he seems to have found 1t as hard
to get away as the President has. be-
levo he still hopes to get up there
during the summer. but there VIII be
far less fireworks about his trip.
TIE Works have no summer plans
except work And ] understand that
Secretary and Mrs. Wallace are not
making any plans. Miss Mary Wallace
is ;Cining a party of friends WHO are
spending the summer abroad anc viii
sail from New York on July l. There
are so many of the Wallaces counting
the numerous married ones. VINO are
constantly coming for little visits. bring
ing their babies with them, as well as
Miss Mary and Miss Ruth whose head
quarters are, of course, with their par
ents, that there always seems to be
something doing in that family.
The Hoovers and the MELONS are alike
in being birds of passage, coming and
going constantly. One asks for Miss
Mellon, to hear that she is in New
York, and then one runs into her on
the street. Her constant coming and
going Is not entirely in the pursuit of
pleasure, however. She has a dentist
up there and she has been having a
nf al
committing. between here and New
York. So far she and her father have
announced no summer plans. Last sea-
son they had cottage at Hot Springs,
Va, and Secretary Mellon joined his
son and daughter there pretty regularly
for the week ends. In fact. he was
there much more regularly than they
were, for they made good many visits.
Miss Mellon probably spent more time
at Southampton visiting the Edward
Melons-her cousins-than she did at
Hot Springs. ] have heard nothing of
any Hot Springs plan this season.; there
mas been talk of Secretary Melons be-
ing after a cottage at Hyannisport,
Mass, but I haven't heard definitely
OF his having taken one. Miss Mellon
undoubtedly would find herself much
nearer most of the people she plays
around with up in Massachusetts, for
einia. And it would be ever so much
more conveniently accessible to the
British Embassy bachelors en- route be-
tween Washington and Dark Harbor,
where the Geddes family Is established.
Miss BromweIl's Engagement.
Which reminds me of Mildred Brom-
well and her recently announced en-
gagement to Capt. Sidney Bailey. Naval
Attache of the embassy. | told YOU of
IL last week. 1t had been a matter of
general quiet gossip as about to be an
nounced, for week or two Miss Brom-
well had told some of her intimate
friends-and their name is legion, And
so. OF course. IL was all over town, but
no one dared say so out loud until Mrs.
Bromwell made formal announcement
And Mrs. Bromwel was holding back
the formal announcement until all the
divers and sundry relatives-from Mrs.
Matthew Scott. Miss Bromwel's grand
mother. down-had been duly informed.
She felt. quite rightly, that they were
entitled to be personally informed of a
coming wedding In the family before
they read of il in the papers.
SO that while all last week every
body had been making a fuss over the
