BIT SALLIE v. II. PICKETT.

Nothing could recall more wildly to
mind the great hustle Of overlapping
entertainment in Washington last sea-
son for the bar associations of other
countries who came to Washington as
guests Of the American Bar Association
than the doubly interesting program
the American judiciary is filling abroad
The party sailed July 6, and between
that time and their return to the
States. August IL, there is scarce a
moment not filled with hospitality. Last
week they were in London, where they
were received by the charge daffaires
of the United States, the Ambassador
and Mrs. Dawes being in this country
and making their annual visit to their
home at Evanston, Ill. The highest dig
nitaries of the British government re-
ceived the visitors, and of course, they
visited Old Bailey, the law courts, Scot
land Yard and many other great show
places.
Yesterday the party, which includes
Chief Justice Fenton Whitlock Booth of
the Court OF Claims, Judge Howard Mil
ton Colvin of Tulane University, Assist
ant Solicitor Of the Department Of State
Richard w. Flournoy. DR.. F. Regis Noel
of Columbia University, DR.. Ellery Cory
Stowell Of the American University, DR..
william Roy Valance of the United
States Department of State and prest-
dent OF the American Bar Association,
visited Stratford-on-Avon,S ulgrave and
other points and then took the short
channel route to Paris.
Tuesday they will attend a grand re-
ception at the Palace Of Justice, given
by French lawyers, they will visit the
tomb Of Napoleon, will be received by
the President of France during one day
in Paris, and the Ambassador and Mrs.
Walter Edge will hold reception for
them. The jurists escaped such hard
ships as the royal ball at Buckingham
Palace Thursday, when King George
wore the full dress uniform of colonel
in chief Of the Black Watch and Queen
Mary, laden with crown jewels, wore a
gown OF ivory color chiffon embroidered
in pearls and diamonds. 1t was the
first ball there in 19 years and the
woman guests wore heavy robes OF satin
and rich stuffs, long white kid gloves,
many jewels, and carried feather fans.
Intermingled with the classic strains
from the string orchestra Of the Royal
Artillery was THE Peanut Vendor, y
played at the request of the Queen, but
American tango music was missing
Such a brilliant scene is in marked
contrast to the frontier, or near frontier
life up in the Presidents camp on the
Rapidan.
The Ambassador of Italy, Noble
Giacono de MARITIME, who spent sew
eral days last week at Greenbriel
White Sulphur Springs was entertained
at the Hates Mountain Club by DR.. Guy
Hinsdale, who asked. among others, te
meet him, DR.. Thomas S. Gates, presi.
dent of the University of Pennsylvania
and DR.. George de Schweinitz Of Phila-
delphia. The Ambassador was at the
West Virginia resort while the West
virginia State open lawn tennis tourna'
rnent was on. Today Mrs. De Lloyd
Thompson of Washington and jacob
Hess of Houston, Tex, will defend theil
titles in the mems and women's singles
Gold medals will be presented to the
winners In commemoration of the golden
iubilee Of the United States Lawn Ten
mis- Association, which celebrates Its
