Plan to Retire to Town House in London Where Ambassador Will Bind Books as Hobby - Wife to Care for Sons.

Washington, Jan. R-Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador, and his wife, Lady Isabella, are busily preparing for the ambassadors re- t1rement next month. They will go to comfortable town house in London. where Sir Esme will bind books, and Lady Isabella will watch over a son getting ready to enter the diplomatic service, just as the father entered it 45 years ago.
 The ancient and pretcntious house they occupy now, the embassy that stands on the first ground purchased by a foreign government for it's en- voys to the United States, also is ap- preaching the end of it's career.
 Last Formal Party
 Before it's occupants leave, it will be brilliant once more with a formal dinner party for Americans. Another famous visitor will be entertained in it, and few more small, intimate groups will have tea for last time within the mellowed walls.
 But with the departure of Sir Els me and his wife, the embassy will be turned over to a wrecking crew. Already it has been sold to a real estate dealer, and a splendid new mansion is nearing readiness for the new ambassador, Sir Ronald Lind say, and his American wife. They will come next spring.
 Sir Esme and Lady Isabella will leave it with mingled feelings. Lady lsabclla's secretary said today.
 Sorry to Leave Capital
 'They are eager to get home to be with their four sons-sons they have seen so little, they think. But they are sorry to go away from Washing ton."
 One of those sons, Edmond, is just 20 now.
 The one who will follow in his fathers footsteps, Hubert, is 22, and there is another still older, Francis, who already is an attorney, Henry, the youngest, is just 16, and still is attending school in preparation for la career in the army. Hubert was born in Washington.
 All of the boys will live with their parents, the secretary said; that in fact, is why Sir Esme and Lady Isa- bella are planning to buy a house in town. They will spend their win ters in Rome, where they were mar ried a quarter of a century ago.
 Book Binding His Hobby
 Bookbinding will not be a bus- hess, the secretary said, but a hob |by. Sir IIsme will occupy himself | with it for his pleasure, at his lei |sure.
 He is still erect, his blue eyes i |alertly clear for all of his 66 years |clear enough to follow unerringly

Shooting marbles Is a lost art-or science-aC-
rording to Charles Z. Brown, director Of the Wiscon-
sin State Museum. TO preserve for ~posterity examples
of the "aggies,," the smokes" the "milkies" and
others OF their type, Mr.. Brown requests gifts OF
marbles used by the children Of twenty or thirty
years ago. These will be placed in the museum
probably alongside exhibits Of horn books, quill pens
and celuloid collars.
It is all very well for Mr.. Brown to do this. Per-
haps grandfather had a marble or two that IL not
represented in the collection OF 9 ~youngster OF 1880.
II SO, a State museum should by all means point out
wherein the modern generation Is falling behind
But to declare that boys no longer know how to shoot
marbles is a reflection on modern youth that Is un-
deserved. Listen to Mr.. Brown, as quoted In a bull
letin Of the University Of Wisconsin:
Shooting marbles was a real sport In the old
days. Experts made a science Of 1t. Young men
Of Is and l6 didn't roll the marbles as small boys
DO today-they aimed and shot. When sharp
shooters staged q ring game with carneliars,
which are made OF real agate. not stone, . whole
ring Of spectators would form"
Perhaps they have forgotten how TO shoot marbles
IN Wisconsin: perhaps in the streets Of Madison
boys roll their marbles. But in New York, Mr.
Brown. the art has not been lost. Come out here
some time next summer and you may see a marble
shooting contest on Mayor Walkers front lawn. A
whole ring will form"-not merely OF idlers not
knowing how else to spend q half hour but Of men
