visitors alike 60 back to milder and
more leisurely method Of inbibing.
Logically, since the country of its origin
has done its mightieSt to annihilate the
| American bar, the civic head of the
most picturesque of the Paris centers
is within his rights to fight it also. M.
! Labric wants to meet Mayor Thompson
of the Lake City, for in a manner he
sympathizes with that official efforts

| Montmartre'S mayor has made his
slogan to keep MuSsolini out of his
small holding, for the Communistic
tendencies Of some of the leading citi-
zens of his dominion have troubled
stopped at the threshold. M. Labric
was most anxious to meet the mayor
Of Palm Beach, Mr.. Barclay War
burton, now touring Europe with his
young son, but this conservative Phila-
| delphian evaded the honor and beat a
haSty retreat from Paris.
Mrs. Charles c. Dawes, wife OF the
United States Ambassador to London.
has been permitting some special
friends TO inspect the newly furnished
establishment at Princes Gate, now
wholly American property. Mr.. Hough-
ton had moved into the new embassy,
but the Government was so leisurely in
providing furniture that he was forced
| to use his own and he did not remove
It until he was preparing to depart for
New York. Now, however, every stick
belongs to Uncle Sam, yet whoever is
responsible for selecting the furniture
was not disciple of Mrs. Coolidge. AL
equipment was made in the United
States, and according to the most
kindly description, 1t presents neat
appearance. but without the stateli-
ness of the Colonial periods. Also
Oriental rugs are used throughout the
drawing rooms and the deep cream
damask hangings throughout the man
sion in all its five stories are French.
Mrs. Dawes private suite In the Queen
Anne style is soft gray as to walls, cell
ing, rugs and furniture, with touch
of rose in the inner drapings. Miss
Virginia Dawes has delightful set OF
rooms on the third floor overlooking
the garden. formerly the beloved do
main of Miss Houghton. These have
been decorated in blue and white with
all the wood work lovely pastel shade,
and all the rest-furniture. drapings
and carpets-is in charming combina-
ton of the delft coloring. The AM
bassador and Mrs. Dawes have in
stalled none of their personal effects
except the family photographs which
adorn tables and mantles of the pri-
vate rooms.
Mr. and Mrs Ira Nelson Morris. the
former having been Minister to Sweden
some 10 years ago, rarely miss making
an annual visit to Paris. and they fol-
low by a leisurely tour of their favorite
haunts on the continent. They are
always generous hosts to their former
colleagues, whether in or out of the
foreign group at present. Carlsbad Is
their objective, but they tarried by the
way at Venice to enjoy week at the
Lido. So far as citizens of the United
States are concerned, Venice and the
Lido might be on the California Coast
or tucked down near the Bahamas. so
completely have they taken possession.
If proprietors Of American beach re-
sorts could have peep at the Lido,
their ideas Of comfort and elegance
would be transformed. Dainty little
striped red and white tents dot the
beach and they are luXuriously fur
nished in wicker divans and chairs with
cushions in the most glowing colorS.
But the fair ladies do not, as their de-
tractors allege, spend the day lolling
in pajamas. They wear quite modest
two-piece bathing suits into the surf,
swim for an hour or more and after
the shower in the casino, don the Won
derul pajamas and then lie on the
sands or on the divan in the sun and
present the gayest appearance to be
found on any beach of the world.
There are countless piers on which for
a stipend the onlooker may enjoy the
scene. and this from 10 o'clock in the
morning until the late afternoon, al
though in the morning the swimmers
are more numerous.

lating the gospel from the dead Ian
guages and placing them in proper
form for the many learned societies
which are clamoring for these treas
