the Autumn In Dresden and enjoying
few weeks of rest at the hillside
Kurheim of DR.. Laun1ann. A more
delightful spot is not imaginable for
| those who seek repoSe, and there Is a
choice of charming cottages where they
may look over the Saxon capital and
beyond into the purple mountains, and
where they may remain seated on their
verandas all day or join in the pedes-
trian exploits, or even take spin in
the air to some mountain peak where
a concert has been staged by local
talent. Lady Ribblesdale has spent
several months in this resort and she
was recently joined by her daughter,
Princess Obolensky. Lord Dawson of
Penn, who has piloted the British
monarch safely into health, Is. with
course of Weisser Hirsh, the correct
name of this lovely suburb Of the Saxon
city Mr. and Mrs. Butler Ames go
to Weisser Hirsh as regularly as the
leaves turn gold and crimson, and at
about the same time each year. In
Dresden grand and light opera is a
continual performance, and with excel
lent concerts several times a week, so
that the music lover as we'll as the
health seeker finds this part of the
world attractive when schedules at Bay

The late Queen of Hawai- Liliwoka-
lani, was, as all the world knows. the
Farewell" and she composed it shortly
before she embarked from Honolulu to
place her grievances before President
Cleveland. The dusky royal exile spent
many months in Washington, endeav-
.oring to persuade the President that he
should instruct Congress to undo its
sacts in acknowledging the independ-
ence of what was then universally
called the Sandwich Islands and her
between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, quite q fashionable section in
the late 1S80s, and held court for her
.sympathizerS and admirers. All who
caught her fancy received autographed
copies of her song and these no doubt
may be found in many old music al
buns of Washingtonians Of that era.
Soon 1t became q favorite for those
who could finger the guitar or the
vocalists at parlor entertainments. The
,ex-Queen wrote her memoirs while she
was residing on @ street and gave much
space and high praise to all who had
shown their good will to her cause.
lFinally she came convinced that she
could not succeed in her mission and so
she returned to Honolulu and devoted
the last years Of her life to literature
and music. Aloha" has reached such
heights of popularity with bands at
IconcertS, and in the numerous daily
customary in the joyous Ha-
waiian isle, that citizens of this country
who relish q more robust form of music
threaten to take steps in Congress to
forbid its being played at all. Even the
most enthusiastic admirer of Hawaii
and its capital admits that Aloha" a
hundred or more times day is draw
back to what would otherwise be Para
disc on earth.
Mrs. Delos Blodgett's decision to sell
the handsome yellow brick mansion
known to older Washingtonians as the
Roraker house caused regret. For
the church adjacent which has pur-
chased it will undoubtedly cover the
intervening space with buildings
adapted, to its purpose and convert the
residence to the needs of the pastor.
The entire group will be- of gray stone.
Senator Foraker and his wife took UNI
usual care in erecting their Washing
ton home, and used the most perfect
variety, and other ma
terials employed were equally SUBJ
stantial. 1t was In this home that the
three daughters were presented to
society and within a few years their
nuptials were solemnized there. Flor
ence, the eldest daughter, became Mrs
Matthews of Cincinnati, and
Louise, the second, married Mr.. Victor
Cushman and resides in Washington.
The youngest, Julia, married MIR. King
Wainwright of Philadelphia and the
estate ut Germantown Is one of the
show places Of that ancient burg. Mrs.
Blodgetts regime has contained pleas
ing chapters Of marital history, her
daughters Helen, Mrs. Henry Parsons
Erwin, and Mona, Mrs. David Gaillard,
having become brides in the same
stately drawing room.
