When the Ambassador Of Bel
GUM and the Countess Van der
Straten-Ponthoz went flying over
the Capital the other day they
took their daughter, Betty; their
son, Count Charles, and their two
dogs. The dogs, dachshund and
q cheerful cur, were at first happy
high in the air. But when the
children lifted their pets and let
them look down on the river ana
the pretty trees and the little
houses in neat rows, the world
seemed so far away that the dogs
whimpered and were very fright
ened.
The Belgian Ambassador and
Countess Van der Straten-P onthoz
are interested in everything Amerl'
can. This summer on their first
leave from the Embassy they are
going to see Yellowstone Park.
Next year they will take a trip to
the Grand Canyon of Colorado.
All foreigners are delighted
with our natural beauty. They
feel that we don't take a proper
pride in our mountains and lakes.
'eNothing anywhere in the
world could be rs beautiful rs

Englishman to me IN London
last summer.
They Look Not Upon the Wine
Whether It's Red or White
At that most agreeable dinner

becomingly. Women clever enough
to be elected to Congress or to
hold, creditably, national offices
should also be smart enough to
look feminine.
The party clothes Of Mrs. Edith

and Mrs. Caroline ODay, Congress
woman from New York, please me
enormously. At Secretary Roper's
dinner Mrs. Rogers looked like
