Mrs. Anthony j. Drexel
Biddle, jr., who with Mr.. Bid
die has been spending much
time of late in Washington,
is the possessor of a waist
length string of uncut en-
eralds, one Of the most pre-
cious and valuable necklaces
of its kind in the world.
The only other owner of a
collection of these rare gems
that I know of is Mrs. James
A. Moffett, who wore a neck
lace not quite so long as Mrs:
Biddle's, but equally exqui-
site in design, at one Of the
receptions at the White
House this winter.
Mrs. Vincent Hubbell, who
with Mrs. Christian Auchin-
Gloss, paid a fleeting visit to
Mrs. Royal s. Copeland en-
route from Miami to New
York, will return in a few
weeks for a longer stay, and
to take part in several par
ties the very charming wife
of the Senator from New
York is planning to give in
April.
At a recent afternoon af-
fair, Mrs. Copeland, who
wears the most enhancing
clothes, appeared in a black
ensemble, the long black
coat opening to show q black
and-white print beneath
which had a white vest held
at the neckline with two
bright red buttons to match
the trimming on her large
black Milan straw hat. A red
belt added a further touch
to a most becoming outfit.
Mrs. c.. Matthews Dick,
aOho attended the perform
amce of "Life Begins at
$40" on the opening might,
1Uith her husband and t1Uo
guests, Wore a very effec-
tive evening goaOn of plum
color satin, made aOith a
deep decolletage with pleat-
ed caps of the material
Over the shoulders, 1Vhich
gaze a Siamese effect.
Her auburn hair, avhich
she Vears straight back
from her forehead, sans
Gny 1vave, terminates IN a
little roll at the back of
her neck.
Her wrap, which is one I
saw on her at luncheon at the
Ritz in New York a week or
so ago, is of a new fur with
a deep yellow background
covered with black pattern.
1t is a cape, which reaches to
the waistline and has a scarf
finish at the neckline.
Mr.. Dick introduced a new
mode for men by wearing a
shirt Of heavy white silk,
with collar attached, with his
Tuxedo.
Mrs. William v. Andrews,
who was present at the re-
ception given at the Egyp-
tian Legation by Khalil Bey,
wore a new spring bonnet"
which was the envy of all
feminine eyes.
It was a brimmed model of
lacquered straw, trimmed in
the front with a "cartwheel
bow" of the filmiest yelling,
the edge stiffened with a mar
row trimming Of the straw.
It was held in the center with
two long shell pins similar to

Summertime Is Lovely
It is an interesting fact that
the climate in Bermuda is at it's
best during the summer months,
for at that time the cultivated
gardens are filled with rare
blooms, veritable masses of vivid
color, and the hedges and ordi-
nary roadside paintings burst
into startling purples, laven-
ders, oranges and reds.

two years of his service. Ste
phen had learned something Of
the import of those words.
All, there was Kin! Stephen
watched the face of a middle
aged Chinese appear out of the
murky background of the room
and move toward him.
Virgin Forests

plate of eggs and a pot of COT

dropped the net around it to

looking at the food, felt the

ing his lungs almost to the
point of nausea and, walking
to the door, stepped over its
threshold into the morning.
The clear tonic air ran into
his lungs like wine into the
stomach. The sun, just showing
over the high red plumes of the
giant sorghum which grew close
to the brushwood fence of the
inn, touched his imagination
into life. He saw the 100000
square miles of Manchuria
spread out before him-virgin
forests, great rivers, arc of hills
encircling its immense red plain.
For two years he had been
travelling over these stretches
by rail, by junk, by mule-cart;
always each trip a new deStina-
ton, something new to see. Now
he wanted to start the days
journey for it's own sake.
He went back into the inn,
resolutely eating his breakfast,
helping down the not-too-fresh
eggs with an abundance of mus
tard pickles, in turn washing the
pickles down with strong, black
coffee.
AS once more he came forth
the sun had risen clear Of the
horizon and the tall grain. The
courtyard was filled with the
hustle of many journeys.
I'LL walk" Stephen said to
his servant as together they
dashed his food basket and tray
cling kit to a platform at the
back of the cart. Kin sprang to
the right shaft, the driver to the
left, letting his long whip sing
and crack about the eyes of the
shaft mule and the lead mules.
The cart bumped its way over
the high sill of the gate into the
rutted road.
All was silent in the fields eX-
cept for the creak of the cart.
Hour after hour he went for
ward, never breathing his rhyth.
mic slog, slog; never lessening,
never increasing the space be-
tween himself and his plodding
equipage.
For a long time he did not
look up, but he knew by the
pull on his muscles that the
road was gradually but steadily
mounting.
Stephen looked up to see a
plain, vast rolling, set above the
vaster plain of all Manchuria
spread out before him. The
kaoliang reached its red-gold
heads of grain toward the blue
sky. In large fields the Soya-
beans stood rank and vigorous.
The oats and the wheat and an
occasional field of beans had
already been harvested, leaving
red-brown patches. An occa-
Sional brown hut nestled to a
curve in the earth's surface.
