Supreme Court, even to its newest
member, Mr.. Justice Sutherland. back
in town and ready to get down to
work next week: with the diplomatic
corps reassembline from It's various
summer diversions. and with the rest
OF the world that likes to make Wash
ington its winter habitat following in
the train of these Washington really
seems to be settling down for the au-
tumn season.
IL there's any doubt of It consider
tho fact that Mrs. George Vanderbilt
and her daughter, Miss Cornclia, have
made flying visit here, up from their
mountain Businesses at Biltmore, N. C.
Also Mrs. Marshall Field, who has
spent the summer abroad and been
much entertained in London by Lord
and Lady Beatty and other relatives
or the late Marshall Field. Mrs. Field
has been here for several days, not to
open her house for the winter vet a
Wniie, OF course, but to look 1t over and
give whatever orders may be neces-
sary that 1t may be quite ready against
ner coming for the winter, along about
month hence or possibly a little
later. They do say that she's greatly
Interested in the Senatorial campaign
In Indiana, where former Senator AL
pert Beveridge is hoping to win out.
senator Beveridge, who used to be
twitted in the Senate as ''the boy orator
or the Wabash when he was In the
Upper House some fifteen years ago
lnis term ran out with the Roosevelt
administration, as / remember iO, af-
ter he ceased to be a Senator, met and
married Mrs. Fields pet niece-indeed.
50 Tar as | know her only one--Miss
Margaret Eddy. while he was travelling
In Germany. Miss Eddy was at that
time with her brother Spencer Eddy
who was attached to the United States
Embassy in Germany So Mrs. Field
may be regarded as having something
OF stake In the coming election, as
she has always been decidedly fond of
the Beveridge family. / don't recall
that former Senator Beveridge has been
here very much. but Mrs. Beveridge
has been fairly frequent visitor and
Mrs. Field has often had the Beveridge
children with her. and has been in the
nabit OF spending a good part of the
summer with the Beveridges in their
summer home in Massachusetts,
There seems to be a prevailing Inn
preston that after the election, IL Bev-
eridge wins, the Beveridge family is
likely to visit Mrs. Field in her palace
on Sixteenth street-Im not sure
whether 1t is still Mrs. Fields palace
or whether she still rents II from Mrs.
Henderson-up in Ambassador row."
1t seems likely at any rate that Mrs
Beveridge will make her aunt's home
her base OF operations when she has
TO start on the hunt for a house In
Washington. 1t will seem q bit queer
to have Mrs. Marshall Field "officiaily
connected" for while she has got in
the habit OF making Washington her
winter headquarters, she has been q
leader In the resident and diplomatic
sets, and has had no particular affil-
iation with home grown officialdom.
voteless Washington has very good
reason to be Interested In the election,
and Washington society watched the
New York primaries early this week
with interest in the fate of two new
comers In the political field and learned
with considerable satisfaction that
"young Robert Bacon" whom 1t knew
as a boy. and Trubee Dawson had won
their party's nomination In their re-
spectlve districts. That OF course, Is
not the election. But Washington GER
tainly would welcome them both with
open arms.
Congress Starts Holiday.
AS for Congress, it Is adjourning
There are a good many who will not
leave Washington for more than a few
days. Their dletricts are SO securely
their party's that having survived the
primaries they have little to worry
about Their children. perhaps, are at
school here: and they want to get In
their coal and get settled for the winter.
They feel that they have earned vaca-
tion after having their noses at the
grndstone for so long. and they "may
take a little trip somewhere" Tho
Southerners practically all feel that
way. and half the Pennsylvanians seem
20. and some of tho middle Westerern-
ers, Illinois, Iowa, and some Of the New
Englanders.
Senator David Reed. the newcomer
from Pennsylvania, who is serving for
the present under Gubernatorial ap-
pointment, is candidate for election at
the regular fall voting tests. His wifo
and daughter Joined him at the Shore
ham early In the week. having motored
down from Pittsburgh. which is their
home town. II would scarcely have been
worth while if he was planning to tako
the first train for Pittsburgh the mo-
ment Congress adjourned and plunge
into a fast and furious campaign. Mrs.
Reed and her daughter have not been
here before. They didn't come on for his
Senatorial debut, for they were out on a
ranch in Wyoming when the summons
came 10 him and he would not hear Of
their taking that long journey and brav-
ing midsummer heat In Washington
(Which as II happened, was not so very
hot). Just to SEQ him sworn In as a
member OF the United States Senate.
So far haven't met Senator Reed or
any OF his family. and only seen him
from afar Off, meaning the Senate gall
iery, but certainly did like his courage

nounced his intention of voting against
II, and his unwillingncss TO pass the

up with Senator Pepper as opposed TO
the bonus--and could do IL with tho bet
ter grace because Of his own splendid
record OF active service In France.
President Harding has certainly been
kept as busy as Congress, but he has
entirely given up tho idea OF any sort

right where he is, for the next couple
