MISS MARGARET DEVEREUX
LIPPIT.T
OF North Carolina, the guest OF Miss
Edith Bacon.
Baltimore, the prelates who have held
the office since the Most Reverend
John Carroll, have been notable men,
the scene Of their labors. Every small
village Of England and OH the con-
ttnent has continuous line of those
who have held civic posts. and when
townhalls become too small to contain
them all, they build for that purpose.
How grateful the world should be
that SO many portly burgomeisters Of
the lowlands and other north Europe
countries committed their features to
canvas and with the most renowned
artists of the day assigned to the
task
If the protests against the passport
law are any indication Of its unpopu-
larity in England, it seems headed
the way the luxury tax went in this
country. Happily for the globe
trotting American, this government
long ago dispensed with the imper-
ative obligation of securing a pass
port, though it counsels the getting
OF the same, as a precautionary
measure. But Great Britain re-
quires one and it has become an ir-
ritation to those who journey across
the channel frequently, not only a
drain on their depleted pocketbooks.
but loss Of time and energy, and
has led to many merry suggestions
that the Downing street officials is
sue communication passport for a
family, to be punched at every trip.
Those who take the air trip have to
go through numerous harrassing
forms and many aver that the ia
tigue and annoyance on these oc-
casions induces what is now as
much dreaded as the old time sea-
sickness, "airsickness." This malady
is credibly reported as a hideous i'm
prOvement on train, trolley car or
sea nausea and makes the vistim ut
terly incapable of taking care of
himself or any valuables he may pos
sess, and that the time saved in the
transit is wasted in the hours he
must spend getting on his feet. A
more rapid locomotion is offered as
d sure preventive of air sickness
and at a higher altitude, and if the
government will sweep the passport
regulation off the books, there is
hope in sight. Few Of the continen-
tai countries continue to enfore the
passport law, and in this respect, the
British Isles, according to the plants
which reach here, is tagging behind
the other nations in encouraging
travel and intercourse with distant
parts.
1>bo,,,-I, tho prb1;o foas mot f,ear SO
much of the Sroubles which wait on
those who manage or make entries in
dog shows, that these difficulties do
exist is proved by the coming of an
expert authority in such matters. the
Honorable Maude Baillie. daughter Of
Of canine pedigree and rearing is
acknowledged in every part of the
world. Miss Baillie has written a
book on CANNES, priced by all who
are interested in dogs, and her mono
graphs on the Westminster breeds are
also authoritive, and she is to sit in
judgment on all entries, including
these varieties, and take over the
classifying and arrangement of shows
generally. 1t is fact that each Sec
ton of the country has made its own
laws. and this lack of uniformity has
caused heart burnings and controver-
sizes which could be avoided. It fire.
Quently happens that dog securing
any number of points at one exhibi-
ton is disbarred at another. Miss
Baillie's coming is believed to shed
much light and no heat on this veXed
theme and to prove that reasonable
and well founded rules, to be observed
in every part of the country, will
prove advantageous all around. She
will remain here some months, and
serve the blooded hounds of the Mid
dleburg district of Virginia and
about Westchester, N. Y.
One of the three native-born Ameri-
can peers who sit in the British house
Of lords. Baron Fairfax of Cameron. Is
gagement to Miss Maude Mckelvie,
daughter Of tremendously rich Scotch
coal operator. Baron Fairfax. like his
brother peers. Lord Astor and Lord
Fernoy. one Of the twin sons of Mrs.
Burke Roche, was a resident of New
York city when he renounced his Amer
lean citizenship and took oath of fealty
to the British monarch. But as he was
in prosperous brokerage business, he
had his interests transferred to London,
where he acts for his firm as CORE
spondent. He is now fifty-one years of
age, and had been looked upon as con-
firmed bachelor as his distinguished
kinsman, the Lord Fairfax of Gen.
Washington's time, who maintained
great state at his country seat, Green,
way court, 1lOI lar ulStdnI ITOHl w III
chester, Va.
A younger brother of Baron Fairfax is
Charles Edmund Fairfax, who is
banker in New York, and whose. splen-
did country home, Landover, in Mary
land, is so renowned for its blooded
horses. The marriage of the American
peer and the Scotch lassie will occur
some time in April, possibly during
Easter week. Lord Fairfax steadfastly
refused to take over the estates re-
nounced by his farzoff kinsman in 1745,
and it was only some twelve years ago
that he finally consented to accept. AS
d youth he was frequently in Washing
ton with his father. DR.. Edmund Fair

California. in spite Of It's much
acclaimed winter climate, is not prov
ing the lure to the amateur
sports advocate, which is unusual,
and it has the additional grievance
of having forfeited the tennis cham
pionship so long kept on the golden
coast. Only three Californians figure
among the first tens" one, William
M. johnson of San Francisco, in the
masculine score, and Miss Mary K.
Browne and Mrs. May Sutton Bundy,
both of Los Angeles, in the women's
score. Time was when this condi-
tion applied to the east, though the
