Maxfield Parish

A lavish supper was served in
the dining room-a great window
less apartment with its walls
frescoed in Mexican scenes in
Maxfield Parish blues. The room
was dimly lighted with many tall
candles, so that the brilliantly
lighted conservatory at one end,
housing an extraordinary collec-
tion of cacti. had an effect of
good "theater."
Groups shifted in Kaleidoscope
fashion. so that it was difficult to
see who was who among the
guests. But the diplomats were
numerously represented. One
noted the Belgian Ambassador
and Princess de Ligne, with
Princess Elizabeth de Ligne; the
Cuban ambassador, the French
Ambassador and Nine. Claudel,
Sonora de Davila, wife of the
Chilean ambassador; the Minister
of Uruguay and Sonora de Varela,
the Minister of Panama and
Sonora de Alfaro, the Minister of
Austria and Nine. Prochnik, Mime.
Samy Pasha, wife of the Egyptian
minister; the minister of Persia,
the new Minister of China and
Nine. WI, and Senior and Sonora
de Barro, of the Cuban Embassy.
Chinese Dress
Nine. WI, in her quaint native
costume-pearl-gray embroidered
in pastel tints---was notably
charming picture. Nine. Claudel
wore a graceful gown of green
-satln--a material enjoying a-great
vogue this season-and Princess
de Ligne had chosen a costume
of similar material in a shade
which seemed more blue than
green.
Vice President Curtis seemed to
be among the missing, but Mr.. and
Mrs. Edward Everett Gam were
present, and held court in the con.
servatory. Mrs. Cams gown was
of some silvery material, beaded in
crystal, and made becomingly on
straight lines. One of the msot
effective costume worn was Mrs.
Sidney Taliaferro's lacquer red
satin, made with a flaring peplum,
below which the skirt fell in
graceful irregular lines. The only
trimming was narrow girdle of
brilliants. Commissioner Talia-
ferro was present with his charm.

PARIS, July 31.-The Chamber OF
Deputies today gave a vote of conf
dence to the newly created cabinet of
Premier Aristide BRAND, the vote being
324 to 1856.
BY the vote, the old Poincare cabi-
net, with BRAND as the new head, re-
ceived a mandate to continue its work.
There were nearly 140 members non
voting, some of them absent, but almost
all of them abstaining by order of the
radical group. Nevertheless Premier
BRAND obtained majority Of the whole
chamber of nearly so, which Of late
had been the average margin in favor
OF the Poincare government.
The French delegation, accordingly,
will go to the coming Hague conference
on reparations with the same support
as former Premier Poincare would have
had if he had remained at the head
of the government.
The cabinet met this morning and
unanimously approved M. Brands dec
laration of policy, which he was to read
later in the Chamber.
A "three-month truce" in internal
politics was sought in the traditional
ministerial declaration to Parliament

ADJUSTMENTS
JUNIOH THEATER.

Dashing deeds Of Robin Hood and the
antics of Friar Tuck are delighting the
hundreds of children who throng the
Junior Theater of Washington this
week at Wardman Park Hotel. Miss
Marian Edwards has designed artistic
settings to harmonic with the pic
turesque costumes and the scenes are a
series Of charming tableaux.
Frank Arundel of New York plays
Robin Hood, with Miss Elizabeth Val
entine as Lady Marian. Mason Hardy
and Robert Chss carry of the comedy
honors in the roles of the High Sheriff
of Nottingham and Friar Tuck James
McLain has pleasing voice for the
romantic lyrics of Alan-a-Dale. Harold
Volter plays Little John.
Louis Cruger gives good interpre
tation of GUY of GiSbourne, the sher-
ifs arrogant nephew, who is deter
mined to have Lady Marian whether
she will or no.
The most effective scene is that in
Nottingham Castle. It Is hard to say
whether Robin Hoods daring attack
on the cru2I Guy of GiSbourne with his
Tuck's novel and amusing way of dis
posing Of his enemies proves the greater
delight to the youngsters. Both are re-
ceived with glee.
