THE WASHINGTON POST: SUNDAY, JULY 23, 1911. SOCIETY OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL Interesting Events and Gossip, Both at Home and Abroad, as Chronicled in The Post's Exchanges. HIMBLE hats and toothpick slippers are not the only oddities that returning travelers are bringing from London. Mrs. Draper, of Hopedale, who arrived In hfr home on the North Shoj-e last week, has brought the "coronation umbrella," which is large enough to protect the largeit hat.

It is about 20 inches. Instead of 24. the usual size for a. woman's umbrella, and so lightly built It conveys no impresloii of topheavlness Draper's young daughter. Marguerite.

Js fond of huge hats with tower- Ing plumes. The umbrella was "fitted" to her greatest head covering, and it performs the work scientifically The frame is of strong but light bamboo and the covering is the toughest nort of rajah. but It is light in weight. The handle is caived bamboo, delicately hued in greens, and a big olive green satin bow Is tied on the top and another about the handle For spring and autumn in this climate, where sudden showers are fatal to plumage, the "coronation umbrella" Is bound to be popular. During the last year, Mrs.

E. H. Hai'- riman widow and heir of the millions 'fft her by the great financier and rall- magnate, has received more than 5,000 begging letters. The aggregate amount of money asked for reaehe.s the gigantic total of $140,000,000. The amounts requested ranged from sums as small as $10 tci amounts sufficient to found a college 01 buy a cattle ranch.

So interested did Mrs. Hai riman be- ccnif in this enormous unsolicited one- sided correspondence, that she left instructions to have all the begging letters jn her dally mail turned over to her personally. so that she might get at the "psychology" of it all. Her idea was to find out the percentage of iVally worthy I'fqucsts, and how many, according to hfi deductions from what was written. vvere "professional beggais" who believe tKat the world owes them a living; how many were Induced to write from socialistic motives, and how many were unfortunates and perhaps deserving of aid.

The task became onerous, however. that Mrs. Ilarrlman was obliged to turn the letters over the bureau for municipal research, asking it to aid her in the study of the problem. fads-- and particularly the fads and hobbies of those women in Chicago who constitute what Is known as society was the subject that came up for discussion the other day at a well-known tea table. "Fads of the fair make up Vanity Pair," said one woman, epigrammatically, as she glanced ulyly at her vis-a-vis, who has a new one every year and who flies with lightning-like rapidity from orie to another.

It all came about because of Mrs. Kd- ward F. Lelcht's necklace, which she has been collecting for years, and to which sho recently made several valuable and nistial additions. It developed during the afternoon that almost everj body whom the group knew had some fad. One woman is fond of "period" furlture, another Is known to all the art dealers in this country and KiiFOpe bv her fondness for certain kinds of old china, while books, pictures, auto- brio-a-brnc.

and antiques of all hinds are constantly being sought for by others instance, Mr. and Mrs. R. Hall McCormlek. -who recently arrived at their glimmer home at Bar Harbor from a long tour of Kurope, have spent much time i i recent years in pursuit of the English musters.

In their stately old home in Rush street Is housed one of the finest collections of paintings of the period, to which Raeburn Gainsborough, Turner, Romney, and Constable belong. Mr. McCormick has a liking Just for the head and shoulders, caring nothing at all for the lower portion of the painting, so that he has had most of the pictures cut In two, leaving just the bust. In the oak-paneled dining room there Is a Romney (one of the paintings of tho lovely Lady Hamilton), and lust across, and probably quite by accident, her contemporary and keen admirer, Horace Walpole, looks down on the diners. There is also "a very valuable Constable nnd a Raeburn in this On fhf walls of the music room hang paintings of four of the loneliest women of their time (full-length paintings, these) painted, respectively, by Sir Joshua Rejnolds, Sir Thomas Lawrence, George ftoTnney, and Sir Peter Lely.

Mr. McCormick also owns the famous painting of the Duchess of Portland, whom he declared once looked for all the world like little Phoebe Eckels, who is now Mrs. John A. Stevenson, and a Franz Hals. Ho is also proud of his collection of Chelsea figurines, of which he has a great number that adorn the tops of the bookcases In the library.

Mrs Potter Palmer's collection of Whistlers Is one the finest in the world. Only one other person has so man of the paintings and etchings of the unique genius, and that is Mrs. Jack Oaidner, of Boston, who has a number In her Italian palace, now known as Fenway Court. Mrs. Harry Gordon Selfridgo loves or- chids, and for years collected all the rare plants she could procure.

The greenhouses at her country place at Lake Geneva wero the talk of the countryside. But when Mrs. Selfridee went to England to live she wisely sent them to the, Lincoln Park conservatories, where they can be enjoyed the general public. Italv and all things Italian appeal particularly to Mrs. Harold McCormick, as her new villa at Lake Forest would prove, if we had not already been made aware of her preference In art by her wonderful collection of Italian paintings and her efforts to interest her friends in the study of the art and literature of Italy.

Her country place at Lake Forest looks as though it had been lifted in its entirety from some Italian city of the Renaissance, and all the furniture, pictures, statuary, and bric-a-brac are true t6 the period made famous by Lorenzo dl Medici and his contemporaries. Mrs. Frank Allport, of Prairie avenue, who Is well known for her many philan- throples, particularly for her work in nectlon with the Boys' Shelter, has a hobby for collecting all things antique. Her home, which is old-fashioned and commodious, Is filled with an unusual collection of colonial furniture and objects of art gathered in all parts of the world. Mrs.

Allport once declared that there was not a piece of furniture in her drawing room except her grand piano that was modern, and that all of the bric-a- brac and pictures were more than 100 years old. Tho pictures are all old prints, several of them by George Moreland, the animal and still-life painter; the statues are all from old cathedrals in Europe, and the candlesticks from old inns in various parts of the country. Mrs. Airport's collection of Sheffield plate Is among the finest In America. Mrs.

Robert H. McElwee, who has a lovely home on the high bluff overlooking Lake Forest, Is the possessor of a very interesting collection of bells, which she has gathered from various parts of the world. Mrs. George Thome, who is out at the Midlothian Club for the summer, has 500 teapots, of china and pewter, many of them extremely old. The Berkshire Hunt, which has for eight years furnished races, balls, and drag hunts for society, hag not been organized this year, and there will be no races or entertainments conducted by that body.

The absence from Lenox of a number of the leading riders and so many Lenox families being In mourning are given as the reasons for disbanding the hunt. Last year the officers were Giraud Foster, president; Newbold Morris, secretary, and Samuel Frothlngham, treasurer. Chester G. Burden, now Abroad, has been for two years the master of hounds. The hunt was organized eight years ago at Tanglewood by the late Arthur Sturgis DIxey.

is no statement to made that will prove the things I said better than Mrs. de Forest's own statement yesterday in Now York. She didn't have time to discuss divorce. It Interfered with a woman's professional career. But she woula talk suffrage." In these words Dr.

Lee de Forest, wireless telegraph inventor and expert, answered a question regarding his divorce suit just instituted at San Francisco. "When I was East last month I went with my wife to Shoreham, her home, to see the babr," he said. "I havo' found out since that phe chose that particular tram so that- I could be served with the separation papers. "On the tiain going down my wife read a 'Votes for Women' paper, and did little talking to me. When vie reached the end of tr trip the baby and her nurse were nt tho train.

"Ti.rnlng to the baby she said, 'Say "vote for women." They had taught the baby to say that the very iirst thing, before she was taught to say 'mamma' or American youths attending the coronation had a rare opportunity of seeing all the royal loveliness of Europe. A young American who saw the kings and queens and all the visiting princesses sweep past says the young Princess of Germany would not create sensation In an American ballroom. The Princess Olga of Russia is described ns a dashing girl, who looks like a sylvan goddess, so fair and delicate is her coloring and so shy and timid her glance. A striking figure was tho lovely young Princess Marguerite of Saxony, daughter of that unhappy Queen Louise of Parma who eloped with' her children's tutor and caused such a hubbub In royal circles. The Saxon princess is the exact age to the day, and almost the hour, of the Prince of Wales, who has some of the superstitions of his ancestors.

"Hard to raise? No. Easy. I plant three sets In a pot of one foot diameter. The soil has to be rich and the drainage free. First I water them sparingly; then, when the pot Is well filled with roots, I use liquid manure.
