a spin along the river front, lingering
just now along the banks Immediately

the double pink flowers are rfotous.

much attention in the colonies of his
country people which are numerous In
this section. Five years ago DR..
Peter and his wife visited the Swiss
along the northern coast of the
Pacific, where they maintain flourish
ing farms and manufacture delicious
cheese. Despite the tendency of the
American Nation to hurry, the Swiss
farmers of Oregon and Washington
adhere to the leisurely ways of their
forefathers, and, in consequence, the
cheese which Is purchased In this re-
gion more closely resembles that
which comes from the Helvetian re-
public than any other of native origin.
Along the southern Pacific, as in the
Lake Geneva section, the Swiss immi-
grants raise grapes and olives and
their estates are characterized by
neatness and by the intensive culti-
walton which is practiced universally
In the tiny mountain republic. Dr.
and Nine. Peter have always shown
a sympathetic interest in these
adopted children of the United States
who still cling to the old Swiss ira
ditions and whose love of home does
not interfere with their being useful
and loyal citizens of this country.
They have, in the six years since
they came to Washington. passed a
few months each year visiting those
regions where the Swiss are a major
part of the population. They spent
one Summer in Michigan and Wis
consin, parts of which resemble Switz-
erland SO strongly as to suggest new
Helvetia.
When Nine. Matsudaira. wife of the
Ambassador from the Nipponese court,
received guests at a recent afternoon
reception in the picturesque native
costume Of Japan, fowered silk
kimono, soft sandals and richly en-
broidered skirts. she revived a Gus
tom in the Japanese embassy which
had seemingly departed from Wash
ington. during the past 20 years. 1t
is quarter of a century since DIR.
kogoro Takahira was envoy from
Japan and Nine. Tal<ahira wore the
native robes habitually when indoors
and very often when on promenade.
After her departure the ladies who
were part of the diplomatic establish
ment Of the F1owery Kingdom were
patterns of fashion after the Parisia n
model. and this was in a special way
true OF the Viscountess Chinda and
Baroness Uchida. A daintier figure
than the present lady of the japanese
embassy in her flowing robes could
not be ina gined and many of her
guests sighed that their customs COM

she should wear anything but her

there are few ways for women TO

Miss Mary Lanier of Greenwich
Conn.,, has evolved a novel idea for
raising funds for the Thousand and
one worthy causes which engage the
juvenile world, from the Junior League
activities to the street parties given
for civic charities. Miss Lanier and
about 90 girl friends have formed a
club which they call the Beehive, and
they are ready to undertake such a
tremendous enterprise as pasting
numbers on thousands of chairs for
the outdoor concerts-of course, at
so much per 1000. to increase their
own treasury and the clubs which
they habitually sustain. They like
wise took over numbering the seats
for the Gigli musical held in the
big aTmory at Greenwich for the Com
muntty House building fund, and they
will prepare posters for outdoor fes-
tivaks and distribute the same where
they will be most effective. The Bee
hivers formerly paid a big sum com
mercially whenever they wanted to
get UP a festival, so they have gone
into the business themselves and with
eXcelent success. Their tags are
quite distinctive and invariably bring
twice the sum as commonplace offer
ings used in years past, their programs
are artistic and they evolved a
unique and fascinating way to gather
funds which will undoubtedly find
many imitators in other cities where
the Junior League, the Girl Scouts
and others are active.

thousand, mere handful in the
great spaces of the Yankee Sta
dunn, will be the mob out each
! day, though next Sunday good
weather may better that.
New York loves a winner, no
matter what line he may be in.
New York always has thumbs
down to a loser. The Giants, hav-
ing a hot fight for their pennant
honors, are not getting the big
crowds of other days and, if the
Pirates win. the fans will turn
away from McGraw and his
Giants.
The absence of Babe Ruth hurt
the Yankees all spring. By the
time he returned to the lineup,
the Yankees were far down in the
race and the interest in the team
never grew warm. Today few
worry whether the Yanks win or
lose.
The collapse of the once proud
Yankee machine is the talk of the
league. 1t fell to pieces in a
couple of months, going down like
child's house of blocks. Stars
in this or that were snuffed out
in a twinkling. The terrible of
fensive strength, the wonder of
the baseball world for three sue
cessive years, became as a caress.
Today only the poor old battered
Boston Red Sox are weaker than
the Yankees with the willow.
So New York, in its customary
manner, has turned away from
the Yankees and will not return
until there is a great change in
things. Harry Frazee is gone
now and where will the Yankees
get their finished players? Echo
answers, "Where ?" 1t may take
several seasons for the Yankees
to make winner and they
threaten to be long, lean seasons,
too.
