son, Frank Carte, is following in
her footsteps.
A RECENT visitor who inter-
ests me is Phelps Phelps, Of
New York. He is a wealthy young
bachelor, related to the Dodges,
Stokeses, Phelpses and other out
standing families Of wealth, but is
deserving his Fifth avenue friends
for the plain people of his district,
as he is planning to go to the as
sembly in Albany. He has political
ambitions, and is going to climb by
the same route as did young Theo-
dore Roosevelt, his cousin, Doug
las Robinson, and Hamilton Fish
the assembly at Albany.
His district includes Greenwich
Village, the old parts Of New York
city and the humber Italian-Ameri-
can, Irish-American and Jewish
American quarters. He belongs to
their clubs and frequents them in
stead of the Fifth avenue clubs.
Young Phelps is a Yale and
Williams college man and very
clever. His grandfather, William
Walter Phelps, was United States
Minister to Germany some years
ago and while there his daughter,
Marian, married Franz Johannes
Won Rottenburg. assistant secre-
tary Of the interior, member of
the Reichstag and a man of high
standing. Phelps Phelps is the
son Of that couple, but he dis
likes the Germans so much that
he has changed his name from
Phelps Won Rottenburg to Phelps
Phelps and tries to forget he has
any German connections. His
mothers home was at Teanedk
Grange, Englewood, N. j., for
many years. She lives there now,
I believe, although someone said
she died about a year ago.
You watch young Phelps
Phelps. He is going to make
himself heard, I'm sure, in spite
Of the fact that he is one of the
richest bachelors in America. He
has dipmomatic ambitions. His
mother gave kim her jewels for
his wife when he takes it into his
head to marry and the collection
Is said to be one of the finest
In the world. His mother was
one of the founders and strongest
supporters Of the Theater Guild.
CHESTER ALDRICH is another
rich young New Yorker who
will be heard from. He is just
back after a lengthy abroad. His
sister. Amy, is an even more in
teresting person-wrapped UP in
the women's trade union move
ment and such things. Mr.. Aid
rich has done lot of settlement
work among boys and in de-
lightful person.
I'VE discovered that Judge Ed
ward Terry Sanford, of Tennes-
see, who has just been nominated
to be Associate Justice Of the
United States Supreme Court to
succeed Justice Mahlon Pitney, is
a brother Of the pretty and at
tractive Mrs. Hubert F. Fisher,
wife Of Congressman Fisher, from
Tennessee. They maintain
charming apartment at the st.
Nicholas and during the six years
the Fishers have been in Wash
ington they have made a wide
circle of friends for themselves.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fisher have two
lovely boys. too, Hubert F.
Fisher, jr., age eleven, and
Adrain Sanford Fisher, age nine.
Judge Sanford has only one
child, Mrs. George M. Cameron,
wife Of Canadian physician. The
Camerons have been living in Lon
don for the last three years, but
are now en- route home, and will
reside in Toronto. DR.. Cameron
went abroad to study surgery In
the English universities. They
have no children. Mrs. Cameron's
only sister, Mrs. James Metcalfe.
Of Paris. Tenn, died q few years

Sanford Metcalfe, named after his
grandfather, the judge. The child
lived with Judge and Mrs. San
