 How much did Harry UndcrWo0l ] know Of the chapter in Lillian's life which had Robert Sayarin for its heading? This was the query which ian like an :ndercurrcnt through the memories which had come thronging upon me as I read the fa- nous artists's name upon the a@- press receipt as the shipper of the wooden box to Lillian.

That aversion was nov happily transformed into genuine liking. hut | WAS sure oven thrt welcome knowledge had not changed NIr.

 There had been too many years o- cillous neglect upon the huf- bands part. Of bitter resentment upon the NiCe's to make shock p"r- feet their reunion. oven thouGh Harry Underwood had royalty cN- plated that neglect in the govern mcnt work. which nearly cost him the life which he had laid at har feet with the plea, "Will I do.

Brazilian AttGche.
Is Son of Former
Embassy Secretary

New arrivals in the Diplomatic
CORPS are always interesting and
Lone these coming months will
be more so than the new second
secretary of the Brazilian EN-
bassy, Jayne Sloan Chermont,
and his charming wife.
Washington has a prior claim
on Mr.. Chermont as his father,
the present Brazilian minister to
Holland, was second secretary
of the embassy here when he
met and married his wife, q
Miss Sloan of Washington and
New York. Their son was called
Jayne Sloan Chermont for his
mothers family.
Mr.. Chermont, who until re-
Gently was in the foreign min
istry of Brazil, has a charming
wife. Nine. Chermont is the
daughter of Afranio di Mello
Franco, at one time the Bra
lillian minister to the League Of
Nations, although at present not
serving his government in any
official capacity.
The Chermonts plan to take a
house here and as both are
young and attractive will, un-
: doubte&ly, take a leading part
in the social activities Of the
younger diplomatic set.

Guests of the American Bar
Association, the leading barriS-
ters of Europe, will carry away
from Washington with them as
the most enchanting experience
of their visit the memory OF
the garden party given in their
honor yesterday at the White
House by the President and
Mrs. Hoover.
Gardens Lovely
The White House grounds
were never lovelier. Despite the
long drought that has deVas-
tated so many of the Capitals
gardens the grass at the Execu-
tive Mansion has been kept
fresh and green and the flower
beds in perfect condition. While
yesterdays party was in prog
ress the giant fountain at the
extreme south of the grounds
was Kept in full spray and the
gaily striped marques from
which refreshments were served
were as colorful as so many
additional flower beds.
The majority Of the guests
had arrived when the President
and Mrs. Hoover made their way
from the south veranda into the
garden, strains of Hail to the
Chief" played by the Marine
Band, announcing their coming,
and a group of White House
aides, brave in white uniforms.
preceding them. Greetings we're
first extended to- the group of
foreign guests, the President and
Mrs. Hoover moving about
among them and finding oppor-
tunity for a pleasant word with
each. Afterward the others
present were presented to the
President and First Lady, who
stood in the center of the lawn,
with a long queue winding it's
way toward them.
FIOwery FrOck
Mrs. Hoover wore a summary
gown of chiffon, with rose col.
ored flowers splashed over a
black background, and her pic
ture hat was of transparent
black erin trimmed in velvet.

tions, the new president of the

WOOlen
FrOCkS Are
Sheer
BY WILMA La VILE

Here are two Of the new
sheer wooden \frocks you have
been hearing so much about.
If you don't believe they will
be popular this fall just take
a trip down town to see them
and try them on. Their own
chic is much more eloquent
than words to describe them.
First of all the softneSs and
sheerness of the materials rec
ommend them. They are thin
enough to wear in modern
heated rooms. Their delicacy
of weave also makes them sub
tie so that they may be draped
as softly and becomingly as
silk. And of course you know
that wool dies more beautifully
than almost any other textile
so that their colors are always
marvellous.
Another reason why the new
wool frockS are so smart is that
all the best Paris couturiers
have been using them. They
have designed frocks that are
marvelS for beauty and smart
ness and of course America has
copied them. So most of the
better wool frocks you see had
their origin in Paris.
Lelong created the original. Of
the dress sketched left in to-
days Illustration. It's Of chif.
fon-sheer woolen in a rusty red
sometimes called Hermes. It is
notable for its bolero and pep
lum giving the same flare effect
and for the bows which demon
strate the softneSS of the fabric.
The other frock is of gray sheer
woolen and is after Chanel.
The bows are black velvet and
give O more formal feeling to
the frock. Both of them are
from a Washington store.

Widow of Late Chief Justice
Sets at Rest Rumors Tafts
Will Sell Canadian Estates
Speculation at Murray
Bay, Canada, as to the prob
able fate of the two large
Taft estates which have for
years been the chief show
! places Of the resort have
been set at rest by the
arrival Of Mrs. William
Howard Taft at Chamand s
pension"
a Pioneers
Since the death Of Chief
Justice William Howard Taft
and his brother. Charles Taft.
of Cincinnati, the two estates
have remained closed. The
two brothers had been pioneers
of the fashionable summer col
ony at the resort and deep re-
gret was felt at the ruInor that
their families would either sell
or lease their respective estates.
Murray Bay first welcomed
the Tafts in 1892, when the
future Chief Justice was a judge
of the circuit court for Ohio,
Kentucky, Illinois, Tennessee
and Indiana. The Chief JUS
tice and his brother, Charles,
with the latter's family, lived
in Chamand's Pension" on the
site of the present Manor
Richeliue. The following year
the two families bought two
farm houses situated on the
property, which remain much
as they were in 1892 except for
interior alterations and the
addition of wings.
RumOrS Denied
With the recent arrival of
Mrs. w. H. Taft at Quebec
aboard the Canadian Pacific
liner Duchess of York, and the
news that she was going i'm
mediately to Murray Bay for
the balance of the season,
rumor5 that the Taft residences
would either remain untenanted
or be sold appear to be ground
less, particularly as it has been
ascertained that Mrs. Taft and
her family will visit Murray
Bay annually for some years to
come.
Mrs. Taft, who told news
paper men at Quebec that she
had enjoyed her trip up the st.
Lawrence immensely, and that
she was in good health. stated
that she had been abroad for
several weeks and that she
was looking forward with much
pleasure to her first visit to
Murray Bay this year.
