North Shore of Massachusetts proved
so alluring to the diplomatic corps and
TO general society in Washington.
Naturally, it is believed that the presi-
dental Sojourn at White Court has
decided many in their choice, and
July will see more foreign flags f1y-
ing over Summer embassies than
since 1914, when four ambassadors
were living in our near Manchester.
and many lesser diplomatists had
homes all up and down the North
Shore from Nahant to Gloucester. The
italian Ambassador, who is living in
a half-fnished and sparsely furnished
embassy, has secured a pleasant villa
at Prides Crossing and will, with
Signora di Martino, occupy it from the
last week of June. The large staff of
the embassy will find quarters near
by The German Ambassador and
some members of his staff will keep
bachelor hall in Magnolia, as the
baroness sailed Tuesday of last week
for her home in Germany, accom-
panied by her small daughter, Edith.
She will return in September and will
spend a few weeks at the resort. Mr.
-and Mrs. Henry Getty Chiffon will be
at Beverly, and the Chilean AmbasSa-
dor and Sonora Matthew will spend
July and August near Gloucester. All
: of which means a gay time for the
younger contingent. The British
bachelors, recently reinforced by Mr..
Leander Mccormick, are seeking a
: suitable domicile near the embaSSy's S
Summer quarters at Beverly. and as
there are large number of choice
villas for rent they will undoubtedly
-have a home ready before Mr.. Chiffon,
British charge d'affaires during the
absence of Sir Esme Howard, moves
his offices and residence there.
Two ambassadors, the Argentinian
and the French, are planning long
-motor trips in Uncle Sans domain. to
.begin about the last week of June.
Although Dr. Pueyrredon has been in
Washington for more than year, In
the official sense, he counts only
few months actual residence, for he
was summoned to Buenos Aires. on
public business soon after presenting
his credentials to the President, and
ne was absent until few weeks ago.
With Sonora de Pueyrredon and
the older daughter and son, the
Ambassador expects to travel parallel
to the Canadian Pacific lines
through the Northwest and Can
ada, to camp in the Yellowstone.
and to make the memorable journey
, from Washington State to the Mexl-
can border down the Pacific highway.

Z. David Cecil, Lord Burghley, who
: arrived in this country few weeks
ago to take part in the sports car
I nival of the University of Pennsylva-
MIA, is the champion sprinter of Cam
bridge and can cover his chest with
medals and fill a large buffet with his
: silver CUBS. Unmarried and reported
to be heartfree, he is eldest son and
: heir of the Marquis of Exeter, the
! grand almoner of the British Crown.
This nobleman is the chief of the his
toric house of Cecil, though popular
, opinion has assigned it to the Marquis
of Salisbury, who, however, is de-
scended from a younger or cadet line
of the House of Cecil, founded by the
renowned statesman Of the Elizabe-
/, than era. Young David Cecil, who is
. the first cousin of Mr.. John Francis
: Amherst Cecil, who married Miss Cor
f. nelia Vanderbilt, will in course OF
. time, If he lives, be chieftain of the
. oldest branch, and a grandson many
: times removed of that Cecil whom
( Tennyson has immortalized in the ex-
uuisite poem, THE Lord of Burleigh.
: and who wed the humble innkeeper's
. daughter incognito, only to have her
. droop and die of the burden of the
=. honor" of being Lady Burleigh. The
{, present Lord Burghley will visit his
. relatives at Biltmore when he has
f. filled his athletic engagements and
: will probably remain in this country
: for some weeks, going to Newport
! and to the Murray Bay colony where
he also has friends and relatives.
Americans who are clamoring to
, get good quarters in Venice and at the
/, Lido must be up betimes to obtain
= anything desirable. The Lido, by far
: the most colorful and gayest bathing
! resort in Italy or in all of Europe, it
: now seems, has lifted all bans from
i. sea sports and makes not the slight
est attempt to censor either surf suits
or their display on the sands or In
, promenade. Seemingly thousands of
Americans are at the Lido and the
F. fascination of the place appeals to
the staidest citizen of Uncle Sam
(. abroad for the Summer. Whereas
) Atlantic City has it's beauty parades
? only in the Autumn, the Lido has
them daily and features beauties from
every part of the world. The one
: piece bathing costume seemed mold
ed to the form is much in evidence,
but it is customary for the ladies to
go to the water wrapped in Voluml-
nous capes which they drop into the
. hands of waiting maid, but all dis
pense with the wrap when they re-
turn from the water and flash through
/. the landscape like radiant nymphS.
The American Ambassador and Mrs.
Henry Fletcher, who are having their
living quarters in the splendid Pa
lazzo Rospigliosi touched up a bit,
are making a brief stay at the Lido
and have tea parties for their Amer
lean friends almost daily in the
cortile of the beach hotel. The royal
Italian fleet is making it's usual visit
TO the Lido and this makes an added
attraction for American travellers.
The Duke of the AbruZzi, so many
years a member of the Adriatic sec
tion, Is not with the fleet this Sum
mer but is hunting big game in Asia.

Miss Edith and Miss Maude K. Wet

at Hotel Curtis in Lenox, were
