dropped several inches lower, near the
hips and loosely girdled; the molish
shoulder line is long, and sleeves con-

There is an irresistible array of ma

Engagement of Miss Hughes
Event of Unusual Interest
Daughter of Secretary of State and Mrs.

hart Waddell, New York.

received a joint message from Pre-
mier Facta and Foreign Minister
Schanzer, speaking in the name OF
the whole new cabinet of Italy.
cordially urging him to remain at
his post.
Ambassador Ricci will 60 to New
York tomorrow formally to present
to Maj. Gen. John F. Organ. COM
mander of the Twenty-seventh Divi-
sion in the world war. the Order of
st. Maurice and Lazarus, as recogni-
tion by the Italian government of
the important part played by those
troops in the struggle.
On the 18th instant the Ambassador
will deliver an, address to the Cath
Ollie Club of New York. He seems to
be always flying around the country;
seldom stays here long enough for
US to really get to know him well.
The only thing Washington has seen
of him was during the arms confer
ence.
I've been house hunting; buying a
house. And. had many adventures
as all who have tried to buy a. house
in Washington probably know. And
while in the midst of 1t, I heard
this amusing story. 1t did not hap
pen to me but I've heard the tale
so frequently now I think it must
be true. At any rate it is a good
story.
A real estate agent asked a lady
looking at a house had she ever
heard of Mary Roberts Rinehart
The lady said she had. He said he
never had and wanted to know IL
she was good" (meaning financially.
Of course). The lady assured him she
was. He repeated that he had never
heard of her and that he asked Mr..
William Corcoran Hill IL he had ever
heard of her and he said he had
not but he would go home and ask
his wife who knew everybody and
Mrs. Hill said she had never heard
of her. What do you know about
that, to use a small boys express
sion! Such is fame.
Not long ago-this really happen
ed to me-a member Of a big firm in
Washington called me up and asked
me had I ever heard of any one
called Lady Geddes. gasped and
upon regaining my bEeath told him
I surely had: that sd was the wife
of the British Ambassador. Where
upon he said, They haven't been
here long. have they?" only two
years" I told him. felt like ask
ing him IL he were Rip Van Wrinkle.
