The adventures of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall,
whose trip was prolonged honey
moon, their marriage having taken
place year ago, included the ascent
of the sacred mountain of the Nikko
range and of Assama- Yama the high
est active volcano in Northern China.
They returned by way of Siberia and
passed several months resting at
Aix-ies- -Bains before sailing for New
York. They anticipate a full four
months getting ready their photo
graphs of the isolated countries
through which they passed unguard
ed yet IN perfect safety. despite many
warnings from American consuls and
others. In the remote ranch coun-
try of Kalgan they leased a house
and lived in solitude nearly four
months. Mr.. Hall will present both
pictures and material gathered in
their travels to various learned So
cieties.
Mr. and Mrs ]. Pierpont Morgan,
mer, have recently repaid the COM
pliment which the Prince of Wales
is comforting on this country. by
making a detour in their motor trip
to include visit of several days to
Lladdudno, the most fashionable and
frequented Welsh resort. 1t is the
objective of tens of thousands of pleas
sure seekers during the summer. but
of comparatively few Americans
rrfn No icln nd &c
have never before included such an
extensive trip through Wales, which.
though very tiny in actual area, con-
tains SO many mountain passes and
isolated spots that this requires
much time to accomplish. The bonny
prince now in this country is rarely
more than a casual visitor to the
country from which he derives his
title. but his interest in it is unfag
ging and the concern of the people
in him just as cordial Conway Cas-
tie, now in ruins, once the seat Of the
native princes, and Bangor, near
which the Welsh national university
is situated. were all inspected by Mr.
and Mrs. Morgan during their Welsh
tour. Great Orme's Head. behind
which the resort of Lladdudno is
sheltered from the winters storms,
is a wild, craggy promontory well
sense. for it is the favorite of French
artists and as frequently produced on
canvas as the shore about Gloucester
is by Americans
One Of the several gifts which the
Prince of Wales has received and
which will serve to recall his mem
orable visit to Long Island is a
handsome painting of Woodside, the
p of = Ia A
den where he has been entertained.
1t is a hunting scene by Franklin A.
VoSS, and a replica of that which
hangs in the great breakfast room
where the Piping Rock Club has SO
frequently been entertained during
the fox hunt days. Mrs. Burden is
the daughter of Mrs. Henry White
and was before her marriage, Miss
Adele Sloan, a granddaughter of the
late William H Vanderbilt. She has
been spending the summer and au
tumn in France with her husband and
daughters, but will return to this
country in November. This splendid
vivid picture is handsomely framed
and has already been shipped to Eng
land, where the Prince will give it
a place in a collection of hunting
scenes which adorns the Yorkshire
lodge, where he spends a few weeks
resting and enjoying his choice as
sortment of personal treasures. The
scene, which is one of the best can
vases of Voss, presents the mansion
| in a background of leaflesS beeches
| and a lawn strewn with autumn de-
| bris, and the hounds, hunters and
horses all to the foreground and
capturing all the attention. The
| scarlet coats of the men and khaki
| suits of the women, many wearing
scarlet topped boots, against the rus
set and gold of landscape and sun
rise are brilliant and impressive.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clinton De Witt Cohen
| of Long Island have collected during
| the past 20 years one of the most
complete sets of event" handker-
| chiefs to be found in the Western
| World, and now that they have gath
! cred a specimen of practically every
| important printing in this country,
! they are debating the presenting of
| their treasures to the American His
! torical Society. In the early days of
manufacturing cotton goods in this
! country no event of national or local
| importance passed without a series
of event handkerchiefs being printed
to commemorate the happening.
Later silk was used, and nearly all
of the Cohen collection are on silk,
made usually in China or Japan.
| There are cotton kerchiefS of Wash
| ington and his running mate, John
| Adams, in the first presidential cam
| paign, and of all the others down the
| line to Old Hickory, when the custom
seems to have lapsed. so far as the
| printing of handkerchiefs relating to
| campaigns was concerned But bat
| ties were shown and their heroes and
| popular heroes Of other lands who
| visited this country were favorite
| subjects for event handkerchiefs.
| There was whole series of Lafay-
| cite, showing him at the most impor-
| tant functions of his last visit-wit-
