Such gossip perhaps had its ef-
feet in Washington, but in New
York society women seemed to
want to be fair and to hear both
sides.
II was very much surprised at
the interest the New York society
women took in European matters
and at the knowledge they displey-
ed. They were particularly inter
ested, OF course, in European socie-
Ety, but they also wanted to hear
all about European politics. am
sure their interest was genuine
and not just politeness.
Thanks for Public.
The count and countess were in
high spirits and repeatedly urged
the reporters to quote their thanks
to the American public for its
friendliness.

CLEAN Up
Of UNS|GHTLY
R|VERFRONT
Public Buildings and Park Of
ficers in Charge of Work
Starting July I

Removal Of the junkyards and
dilapidated buildings along the
river front from the end OF Po-
fomac Park to Early's point, at
the mouth Of Rock Creek, will be
started Immediately after July i,
1t was decided today by the office
Of public buildings and parks.
This section of the water front,
now regarded as one of the most
unsightly portions of the city. will
be thoroughly cleaned up before
the end of the summer, it Is
planned.
Condemnation proceedings have
been instituted for the acquisition
OF land near the foot OF New
Hampshire avenue now owned by
a boat club and used for the build
ing and repair OF small boats Of
all kinds. Speedy settlement of
the proceedings is hoped for so
that the ground may be prepared
Tor park treatment.
s. While this work Is to be admin
istered as a part of the Rock
Creek Potomac parkway project it
will also be the first step in the
plan to provide a public park and
boulevard system along the shores
Of the Potomac to and above the
District line.
1t is hoped that eventually this
proposed riverside parkway may be
extended from Fort Washington,
several miles downstream, to Great
Falls The first important acauisi-
ton in this parkway, 1t is expected,
will be made this winter, when
Congress is expected to pass a
bill turning over for park purposes
q tract extending three-quarters of
q mile along the Maryland short of
the river below the District line.
This property, now owned by the
Government, is the site of an
abandoned military post. 1t in
cludes a. beautiful bluff rising pre-
cipitately from the river shore.
The tract is heavily wooded with
large trees.
A bill setting this land aside as
a park was pending on the calendar
when Congress closed. Shortly after
adjournment of Congress the prop
erty was offered by the War De-
partment at public auction, but
the offer was withdrawn by Score
tary Weeks at the request of sup
porters of the parkway plan.
