This is the tale of a trooper no, not one of Capt. Denny's troopers, but one of the unattached Uhlans who parades the park rides showing "daylight between leather and his riding seat." Occasionally he takes a bit of a jog through the woods Tonawanda-way, where a lovely siren contorts mythology and saves her eong for rough-riders instead of the sailors of tradition. Last Sunday was his day. He isn't the best horseman the world. He rode through a patch of woods and out on a rough macadam road "Colander Road" he calls it now.

He. cantered the horse. The horse threw him. (We are hurrying this particular part because it isn't a nice thing to look at; dear no!) He landed In a semi-reclining position and skidded for ten feet or more. it was far enough to-Game as a pebble he recaptured the horse, remounted and rode on to Tonawanda.

Because a certain restful portion of his anatomy was benumbed from skidding he noticed nothing unusual until the siren's mother motioned him to a horse-hair j8bfa slightly worn. It tickled! Then it hurt; Then it dawned The young man bowed himself out of the young woman's presence. He backed down the long walk to the street which never seemed so far before. Then he backed out of Tonawanda, He camped in the wooda (horse hire $3 per hour) until dusk and returned with his secret. Now he's spending his evenings writing a ripping thing entitled "'Reinforced Trouser Seats: The Great National Need." It saves horse hire and may be of benefit in some other directions.

Meanwhile the young woman, who is more discerning than the young man knows, insists there is nothing funnier than a young man without any trouser seat. for tea or evening affairs. The wedding of Doris Kellogg to Charles Neale which took place two weeks ago was very lovely, simple and charming as the bride "herself. Charles Neale is a fine looking, splendid chap and has many loyal friends. They -have been so sensible ana fortunate and have picked up one of the really old elegant houses of the Erie shore, the old Dr.

Swetland residence at Jerusalem Corners near the old white church. The Neales have been sensible enoui to keep the fine old brick house itssimplicity and beauty, preserving the old stairways, floors, doors arkd 'mantels. You go up. you go downi and you go all around and its charm is abiding. The old name Sweetlands is still on the door, where it has been for generations, and makes a real name for a real place.

There are 90 acres in the place and 'twill all make a beautiful home for a worthwhile couple. Florence Fenton Knight- is another real young matron with a real old fashioned hospitable country home on the Lake shore. The Knight girls are all athletic and stunning and lovable. Molly is busy with her babies. Winifred comes home with her children and Colonel Lister for frequent visits and Gertrude with her lovely home and delightful husband and adorable children comes from Mt.

Vernon very often to join the devoted family circle and reune with old Wellesley friends. Though few people are shopping these days we did see Mrs. C. P. Hugo Schoellkopf in onp of the more exclusive shops.

Shk was very beautifully gowned in shell pink georgette crepe embroidered in pink, a black hat adorned with an aigrette and neck piece of dark fur. She was a picture. Gray slippers and stockings completed the Frenchy elaborate effect. YORK SOCIETY Munsey arrived from Europe the oth er day on the heels of the announce ment of Mrs. Lydig's engagement.

At the time it was said that Mr. Munsey had aspirations to the ambassadorial portfolio of this country at the court or fet. James and that Mrs. Lydig had gone abroad herself with the intention of marrying him in London. However, as we see, the best laid plans of mice and society are not to be depended upon.

The outcome of this romantic imbroglio between the church and the world will be watched with intense interest for, it is contended, if Dr. Grant succeeds in marrying the divorcee and retaining bis place in the church the precedent thus established will knock all bars into smithereens, The second sensation is of a much less serious nature but highly absorb ing and diverting. It is the discovery that the architects of the fashionable St. Thomas's, in some sort of almost Rabalaisian inspiration were moved to have carved in the portals of that handsome Gothic edifice a number of faces and emblems of a purely secular character. As it has required ten years to discover this humorous liberty taken by the naughty architects it is Hinted that they themselves in view of the fact that there is nothing doing in tneir lines present, gave away the key for the advertisement they would get out of it.

In any event they have an unparallelled precedent ror tneir boldness in the Last Judgment of Michel Angelo in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. In that incompar able work the great Angelo depicted in broad caricature that is cutting as the mordant work of Louis Raemak ers, several of the amiable popes who nao maae things unpleasant for him. That some of the faces carved in the mam entrance or St. Thomas's are likewise portraits of well known New Yorkers I doubt, as a careful study of them tans to disclose to me any re semblance to anyone I ever have known in society. They are all vapid and expressionless enough, however, to represent the smart set of any (community.

When they saw fit to adorn what is called the bride's door with the symbol of the dollar that was a real inspiration whose acid satire seems almost too good to be true in this particular day and generation. It is bruited about Newport that the British Ambassador Sir- Auckland Geddes is dickering to secure Ochre Court as a residence for next summer. Ochre Court is the huge and very magnificent French chateau of Mrs. Ogden Goelet. It is said that this decision of Sir Auckland Geddes was not a purely personal one.

but was in a way brought about through advices from home. Although it is a notorious fact that society in America takes very little interest in politics it remains also a fact that the representation of great money interests collected at Newport during the summer is a factor in our political life. In the old world the advantages of a commingling' of society and diplomacy are thoroughly understood and recognized. Bearing this in mind the new Polish Minister, Prince Lubornirsky, stepped into Newport and with his exceedingly handsome and diplomatic wife had capped the situa tion by winning the greatest kind of popularity among all the big bugs. It is said Downing Street- Is per turbed; that it is felt that Sir Auckland Geddes missed a point in selecting for his summer habitat this year, so quiet a place as Bar Harbor and that therefore it was hinted to him that, the atmosphere of Newport an other yea; would be more pleasant to the Home Office.

I do not recall that Ochre Court has ever had a tenant except its owner. Mrs. Goelet is a very grand and haughty person and I doubt that anyone could offer a price sufficiently al luring to secure any habitation of hers. But this is a different matter. Through her daughter the Duchess of Rox-burghe and her sister Lady Michael Herbert she is very closely affiliated with tne British aristocracy both so cial and official.

The Duke and Duchess of Roxburghe stand very high at court and enjoy the special friendship, of Queen Mary which is more than that of King George and Lady Herbert as the widow, of a former British Ambassador to America is not without position and power. Added to this Mrs. Goelet's other sister, Mrs. Cornelius Variderbilt. and her daugh ter Grace had been cutting a swath -NSA 3 mm 3IS1 mmmmmmmm Riverside, has been visiting guest of Mrs.

W. J. Conners, Jr, WASHINGTON There will be a geeral exodus to the mountains and sea shore. There have been no distinguished visitors the week just closed, i which is almost unpre cedented for many months, and there have been no official dinner parties or other functions. The Secretary of State and Mrs.

Hughes are thoroughly enjoying the beautiful suburban and 'fejolated place. "Greystone" the home of the Thomas Armats, which they have leased for the summer season. They will remain out there until well in October, for the early autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons in Washington. Sec retary and Mrs. Hughes will have to be well established in their city home Dy tne time the throng of distinguished foreigners arrive for the disarmament conference opens on Armistice Day, as the Secretary of State will be the busiest host of all during that important period.

It is estimated that the conference will bring to Washington no less than 500 brilliant men and women of almost all nationalities. Already those responsible for the housing and entertaining of them are busy with the puzzle of proper quarters. It has been decided by some of the embassies and legations, those which tii liib niusi spacious, entertain the parties from their countries there, the secretaries being the ones to be put-at the inconvenierfce of finding accommodations where they can for those weeks; The gayeties attending the conference are likely to begin1 the first of November and to continue until the first of January. The presence here of the delegates will inspire an earlier opening of "the season" than has ever been known before, and the "little season" will be merged Into a real one. The President and Mrs.

Harding are expected to go off again fffr a acation trip at the end of next week, if congress takes its proposed recess. This time they are expected at Bar Harbor to be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Beale McLean, who will go to their cottage there in a few days to join their two sons, John R. second and Edward Beale whoi have been there for a month.

The vice-president and Mrs. Coolidge are expected to return here tomorrow and will remain until the recess, when they will hike themselves to the north again for a few weeks. There is, too, a probability that President and, Mrs. Harding will make a short visit to their home in Marion, before returning here or the strenuous duties of the autumn which for them will begin in October. The President has promised to go to Birmingham.

for the celebration of the founding of that city. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt made a short visit here to her husband in the home of his brother-in-law and sister Representative and Mrs Longworth. She was on her way to. Hot Springs, Virginia to spend a fortnight.

She is most charming little person, formerly Miss Eleanor Alexander of New York, petite, dainty and demure, with the most fascinating copper colored hair and the simplest and mest attractive clothes.

After having had a week's fishing near Petoskey, Michigan, as the guest of R.

E. McCarthy, general manager of the Pennsylvania railroads. Mr. Daugherty slipped away from Washington for this trip, even his office not knowing his whereabouts. Secretary Weeks was host to the presidential, last week returned to his desk here at the end of last week, making the trip by rail.

Mrs. Weeks has recently arrived in Paris from Belgium accompanied by Mrs. Sinclair Weeks and her daughter. Mrs. John W.

Weeks went abroad six weeks ago accompanied by her son-in-law John W. Davidge, and was not at home to act as hostess to her husband's distinguished house party. Secretary Hoover celebrated his birthday on Wednesday by a small dinner party in his Street home. His family are motoring in New England and he will go up on Friday to join them in the White Mountains for a few days. Washington society is much Interested in the forthcoming wedding of Miss Louise Delano, daughter of Mr.

and Mrsl F. A. Delano, and Col. Sher wood A. Cheney, which will take place at Stockbridge, where the De-lanos are spending the summer hav ing leased the Nunnery lorra Miss Virginia Butler.

The ceremony will be performed in the Congregational Church next month, tnereDy disappointing Washington society who had hoped for a wedding in the Washington home -of the Delanos. Potomac Park just now presents a curious sight, dotted over, on the end towards the Girl Scouts Tea House and overlooking the Army War College at the Barracks, with odd looking tents and automobiles, not on the roadway, but on the ground where formerly were the quarters ior the soldiers on guard around there. The buildings recently ware razed this is the ground which has been given over by the commissioners to the mo tor-campers, the modern gypsies. Ron res of them are on their way to or from the mountains of Virginia and New Enerland and a stay in the nation al capital is most desirable, as long as the Potomac mosquitos permit tnem to enjoy it. 1 Close upon the heels of the activi ties of the Woman's National Founda tion and its splendid work especially in giving tne grounar oi wieir pia-tc for children's play-grounds, comes the proposition to organize an Arlington Association' of Ladies, similar to the Mt.

Vernon Association, and restore that lovely old home of the Lees and earlier still, of the George Washington Parke Custises, who built it. It has only to be restored on the interior and in the matter of furnishings, as the house and the rooms are in a good state of -presevation. Instigated by Mrs. Frances Parkinson Keyes wife of the Senator from New Hampshire, a native born Virginia woman, a number of other Virginia, women are planning to form a regents'- association and put back into the old mansion as much of the furniture and hangings as can be located and obtained. The great rooms of house with its imposing exterior, are singularly bare and unsightly.

George Washington Parke Curtis, grandson of Martha Washington built the house and lived there many years. His wife was Mary Lee Fitzhugh of Virginia, Mrs. Keyes, whose, inspiration it is to rehabilitate Arlington mansion has made some name for herself as a magazine writer on life in Washington, much of which has inspired resentment of old Wash-ingtonians. Senator William M. Calder spent the last week-end and a few days more in Providence, R.

with Mrs. Calder and their family. Word has been received hece from relatives that Rev. Benjamin M. Nyce for many years pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Lockport, and his family aVe spending the month of August and a part of September at Estes Parks, Colorado, accompanied by Mr.

and Mrs. Leland and their daughter; also formerly of Lockport. They have a cottage at Estes Park where Rev. Dr. Nyce's son" Norman S.

Nyce a junior at Princeton next year, is also with them. Mr. Leland is now connected with the Nebraska State University at Lincoln and Rev. Dr. Nyce is pastor of the First Presbyterian Church In Lincoln; having gone there last winter from a fourteen years' pastorate in Muncie.

Buffalo always claims the Frederick Stevens whether they are east or west. Brains, style, art and money a fine combination and a fine friendliness and loyalty withal. Frederick Stevens with his son Earl is on the Main coast with a party of men friends. Mrs. Steven her daughter, Alleen, is at the beautiful Rex Arms, Los Angeles, and Alleen is doing the mostnvrvellous work as an advanced pupil at the famous school of dancing Denishawn.

The. lake shore is developing into a very beautiful spot worthy of any of the beautiful homes built or near it From Wanakah to Derby it is especially lovely with the homes of many of our society folk. Mr. and Mrs. B.

I. Crooker built a perfect summer place last year which they are now occupying. It is at Wanakah, spacious ard lovely and with Mrs. Crooker jind her charming debutante daughters presiding graciously and informally, it make a delightful rendezvous for their 'riends. They are quite near the Coit family, who have for years been spending the summer at Wanakah.

Slendid' tennis courts they have and a delightful group gathers about afternoon- and evenings for tea and dancing, and fun. Mrs. Moses Shire also has a home there. She is an interesting woman with two daughters whom she may well be proud of and. though they are both married-they gladly spend the summer months at the beautiful place.

Hazel, Mrs. Adrian Block, has a lovely little girl about three years old. Helene, now Mrs. Nathan Oppen-heimer whose wedding the early part of the summer is still being remembered for its beauty, is seen motoring bout in her great green car, looking most happy, by the side of her young husband. Mr.

A year ago their older daughter. married to Herman Henssler, a fine young chap, and this year Norma, who is as sweet as she is pretty, was married to Carlton Cooke, the son of Mr.

The Henry P. Burgard's being one of the more beautiful Itomes, was designed by Robert A. Wallace and is most attractive with its red roof and white plaster and spacious verandas set in a background of fineiold gardens, trees ahd shrubs. The Kellogg's home is another very beautiful home surrounded by. elaborately quaint gardens and spacious The house itself, furnished with wonderful antiques which have come from all over the world, is the acme of good taste, while priceless rugs and pictures and hangings go far to make it a show place along the shore, just as their mansion on the avenue is a show place in town.

i- DOINGS IN NEW NEW YORK, Aug. IS. It is rathet thing to remark that the two social sensations of the weak, or to be more punctiliously the two sensa tions that most interested society in New York, both emanated from the Protestant Episcopal Church. Fear not, my sensitive brethren, this is no to be a tirade on the foundation of the Church of England with its text in the announced Intention of the Rev. Dr.

Percy Stic kney Grant to marry the twice divorced -Mrs. de lAcosta" Lydig. With that part of the matter tne present cnronjcier nas nothing to do. However it was not to be expected that such an announcement from the dominie of the Church of the Ascension, one cf the most important parishes in New York, should or could pass- without arousing a storm of criticism. Dr.

Grant has been a sort 01 morn in mc sme ui mo See of New York, his radical views, and revolutionary acta in the conduct attentlon ot the pubiic and the press, fQr tne Rev Mr percy.s pronounce ments from the pulpit are never free from sensation. Withal there is no more popular preacher or man in the church, for despite the fact that lie has never hesitated to flout his congregation whenever and however he feels it his duty to do so. his arguments are invariably tempted with a seemingly indisputable logic and his personality is of the most delightful sort. The Church of the Ascension is one of the oldest and most aristocratic in the In the old days before the general exodus of society from lower Fifth Avenue and the sido street neighboring Washington Square, its pariah ioners included a very large part of the creme do la creme. JEven after the apotheosis as it were of Greenwich Village had dethroned the social gods and half gods of the quarter, and sent them scurrying uptown, they continued to do what they called their worshiping at the Ascension, and Sunday morning serviee brought streams" of carriages and motors bearing the elect from the Hipper avenue down to Tenth Street.

Dr. Grant had not yet displayed those ultra radical tendencies which of more recent ye.nrs have crowded his Church with "advanced thinkers" on all subjects, permitting them to air their pet theories from the chancel. Nevertheless, he held a certain large following in which the fair sex predominated. 1 doubt that any wearer of the cloth la Gotham has, or ever had, so many sighing females sitting under him, unless it is the handsome and popular Father Martin of St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Cathedral.

For years the favored one of this band was the late Mrs. John H. Flagler. As Mrs. Flagler was perfectly happily married, however, there was no question of romance in that attachment merely a similarity of taste with regard to church work in the aid of which the lady disbursed freely from the large allowance given her by her husband, one of the Standard Oil multi-millionaires.

Besides, being gifted with a voice of more than ordinarily fine quality, she sang in the choir and practically, It is said, supported that part of the church work. With the passing of Mrs. Flagler the place of prime favorite of Dr. Grant was vacant until Mrs. Lydig.

still the Mrs. Phil Lydig whose shoulder blades never failed to elicit comment in the Horseshoe of the Metropolitan Opera, Mrs. Lydlg was very beautiful in the dark way of her Spanish- origin, the de Acoetas being an old Cuban family but of pure Castilian extraction. Having been first the wife of the spectacular E. D.

Stokes whose diff levities with his second wife have only recntty occupied columns the newspapers, she later on captured the handsom. dashing and aristocratic Phil Lydig, thereby securing the first real place of her family in society. They were- divorced about a year ago. Mrs. Lydig took one of the fine old mansions in Washington Square at the corner of Fifth Avenue, remodeled it beautifully and began to dip into the socialistic work that was to eventually cement the pact between her and Dr.

Fcr a long time society declared that another matrimonial adventure would be made with Frank Munsey, the publisher. It certainly looked that way, for Mr. Munsey was constantly in her train and society kindly disposed lost no opportunity of bringing them to- It-is --coincidence that-Mx, Channing1 youno; matron of fnenda in Buffalo, She has been I SOCIAL LIFE IN BY KATE SCOTT BROOKS Washlgton, D. August 13. Almost all of official Washington is taking itself this week-end to the sea-side, the mountains or the river and bay.

The frequent use of the Mayflower, the Presidential yacht, by President and Mrs. Harding, has given an impetus to boating. The river is full of small craft of all kinds and not for many years have there been so many yacht clubs on the Potomac as there are just now. The President and Mrs. Harding returned on Tuesday morning from the longest trip they have made on the Mayflower.

Their party was much smaller on the return trip, than when they w'unt up to Plymouth and on to Portlahd Senator and Mrs. Frelinghuysen and Senator and Mrs. Phipps went up with them, and Senator and Mrs. New. returned home with them, along with Secretary Christian.

Mr. Christian is beginning to be generally teased for his Invariable telegraph and radio messages. That is the only news sent out en- route, in spite of the severe and serious storm encountered between Norfolk and New York on the up trip. The speaker of the House of Representatives who with Mrs. Gillett went up on the Mayflower and.

to the Weeks' Lodge, returned here by rail Monday mDrnir.g, but Mrs. Gillett remained in the north and is now having a visit from her son-in-law and daughter Mr. and Mrs. Reginald Foster who have just returned from their wedding trip to Bermuda. The past week was the dullest, socially, which Washington his known this summer.

The dullness will continue too, until the month's recess of congress is over. Few of the congressional people will return to their homes unless tley are in the as it Is hardly worth while for them to make long trips for so short a time. surpassed by the ambitious Mrs. Van-derbilt since the days when she entertained the Jthen Kaiser Wilhelm on board their yacht, the North Star. We have been deluged with rumors of the attentions paid to Miss Vanderbilt by one of the Royal princes and that an alliances is not beyond possibility.

Nor is it, since marriages of members of the English Royal families with com moners are not without precedent if only to cite the case of the Duke of Argyl and the more recent one of Princess Patricia of Connaught. Under these circumstances it is quite -likely that Mrs. Goelet would be willing, in deed pleased, to see Ochre Court occu pied by the British Ambassador. Should it eventuate, and the inklings are very strong, persistent and lively, it would certainly, mean a season of considerable splendor for Newport and bring back again, more than anything else could do, those brilliant times when the Rhode Island resort shel tered representatives of all the foreign embassies and ministries. Court is an establishment that lends itself to entertaining in a truly grand style and dazzling entertainments undoubtedly would be part of the program as they were with the late Whitelaw Reid when he was our Ambassador at London.
