President and Mrs. Coolidge are in
stalled at tt White House. Mrs.

the suburban residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Beale Mclean, after the
long strain she was under. The post

the McLeans were at Bar Harbor
and stayed on there during the fun
eral but returned to their town
house when Mrs. Harding went out
to Friendship" She has the place

Practically all of the cabinet is here
now. The only cabineteers missing
are the Attorney General Harry NJ.

that will attract large number of
our prominent mon and their wives
away from Washington for a while.
Chief Justice William Howard Taft
and q number of outstanding lawyers
like Wade Ellis who was sent abroad
this summer by the association to
study methods of law, particularly
in England and TO report on what he
found at tn convention also will at
tend. Then some of the diplomats
are going out too; like DIR. Bedoya,
for example, OF the Peruvian embassy
staff.
Lord Birkenhead Expected.
The Earl of Birkenhead. former
lord high chancellor of Great Britain
who Is lecturing at Williamstown, is
coming here in a few days and
Washington is going TO be far from
dull for some time to come. The gov
ernors of all of the states are to be
summoned by the President for con-
ference early in September.
Just now Washington society has
its eyes on London where Miss Helen
Leseure and Dorsey Richardson have
decided to be married soon. The
bridegroom is attached to our en-
bassy in London. Miss Leseure has
been over there for some time, chap
eroned by her aunt. Miss Helen
Cannon, daughter of the famous ex-
speaker of the House. Miss Leseure
has spent the years of her girlhood
here with former Representative Can
non too, and we naturally expected
this to be the scene of the wedding.
The courtship took place here when
Mr.. Richardson was on duty at the
state department.
Last Tuesday Miss Mary Louise
Tyner, daughter of Mrs. Elonzo
Tyner of this city and Chicago, and
William Stork Jr.. of Sengelon, Hol-
land, were married there. The cere-
mony was performed in st. Peters
church in Eaton Square. Mrs. Tyner
and her daughter have been touring
Europe all summer.
Interest In Clothes.
Now that our summer wanderers
are returning, particularly those who
have been abroad, we will get some
hints Of the newest fall fashions di-
rectly from Paris for practically
everyone who goes abroad, brings
back at least gown or two. Mean
While people are still asking ques-
tions about Mrs. Coolidge's clothes.
None of us have seen her hardly yet
but catch glimpses of her on the
street such as / got the other day
when she was walking with Mrs.
Frank W. Stearns. That day Mrs.
Coolidge had on a black silk gown
that was quite chic. The skirt was
fnrOrnH ~ frrn xx1aotaI r,,ff1a. L..
bodice that was quite long wasted
The sleeves were quite noticeable:
they were tight fitting Mt the top in
cape effect and ended in wide
bishop sleeves which were finally
confined with gathers into narrow
wrist bands-quite chic. She wore
with this black silk hat with a soft
wide brim and ornament only with
a big ribbon bow.
Mrs. Stearns was wearing black
satin; a gown made with a surplice
bodice and much draped skirt. A
fan flare of feathers extended across
the crown of her black straw hat.
Mrs. Frederick II. Gillett who has
been in town all summer long-and
generally alone for both daughters
are married now and Mr.. Gillett
went first on the Presidential party
and later to Massachusetts where he
expects to be for another two months
wore to a dinner the other evening
a much flounced gown of chantilly
lace-black-which chung consider
ably. The neckline was low and
square. The sleeves were elbow
length and had hanging cuffs of the
lace. Mrs. Gillett is a very hand
some woman and one of the best
dressed in Wnrh;nnAo. ~,
