Havana is ore capital of the worlc
where definite limits are set on political
activity. and the end of May sees the
dispersal Of its entire official circle
The President of Cuba has beautiful
home on the coast 10 the west and he
generally takes possession when Con-
gross adjourns. Mrs. Judah is devo-
tee of horseback riding, and while she
enjoyed her iauntS i'll the suburbs, Ha-
vana has not the facilities for cross
country riding and for forest trails such
es abound about Chicago. The Ambas-
sacor had begun the erection Of new
home on a much more extensive tract
than their present house occupies en-
tho shores of Lake Forest previous 10
his acceptance of the diplomatic post
in Havana. This d0nicile is being COM
rleted slowly, and will not be ready for
occunancv before next Autumn. The
estate bears the cid Indian name OF
"Skokie," which means the headquar-
ters. so called because 1t is adjacent to
the beginnings of the Chicago River.
MIS- Judah has been diligently collect
Ing some rare furniture for her new
home, for Havana is now deemed the
best place In the Western world for pur-
chasing period furniture. She also has
secured some fine thing. which is to be
used for flooring on the various veran-
Gas and in other ways. After complet-
ING their visits to Chicago and Washing
ton. the Ambassador t0 Cuba with his
wife and small twin daughters. will so
70 their camp in the AduondacSs. where
Mrs. Judah plans 10 spend the most of
her waking hours in the saddle.

Mr.. Richard NJ. Cadwalader's new
yacht the Savarona. which is making a
leiSureiy cruise in the waters of the
Chesapeake and Delaware. and which
may drop by Washington to entertain
some of the owners friends, has now
what is deemed the largest and most
powerful Deicer engine driven private
vessel in the world But the point of
interest to most observers about the
palatial craft is that while 1t is SEEM
irely furnished with Oriental splendor,
the fabrics used are only the homely
American cotton manufactured by the
magic looms of the East. The guest
room. for instance, at first glance would
take the mind back to the luxurious
days of Cleopatra or to the Eastern
grandear of Arabian Nights Tales. for
the exquisite twin beds of French wal
nut are covered with what seems to be
priceless copper colored damask ana
ostrich plumes of Cobalt blue A lighter
shade OF blue shimmering material
r1akes a rufie which is edged with
yrleafed copper satin in fluted effect.
But all is merely cotton chintZ. which
may be laLndred without the least
damage TO color or shape. The draD-
inzs are the same and the walnut chairs
of Louis Seize design are covered in
different shades of blue and coppers
and. the lamp shades and tiny covers
for the electric lights are of the same
material All over the yacht chintZ IS
used and only the idea opens for har-
ried home keepers whose expensive.
ssa.irs. danast and velvet drapings fade
enS get shabby and then cost fortune
tn bs cleanrd. that cotton is the answer
n ti.e problem when |. can be pro-
cured in such attractive gu:sc.
