Mr. and Mrs. A. Johnson and family left this morning for Sacred ONDON, May 19.Everyone here is talking of the great ball which Mis. Whitelaw Reid in tends to give at Dorchester house in the height of the London season, name ly, the end of June. Now that people are beginning to understand the ambas sador's wife, they are growing to like her better, but ,-just at first, she was regarded as far too exclusive for an American. The English like Americans to be, so to speak, "hail-fellow-well- met." Even her most intimate friend could not apply this definition to Mrs. Whitelaw Reid and the English resent ed her frigidity. Another thing English people say of MRS.

Mrs. M. Coleman and son, Leslie, leave this evening for Mount Vernon, N. Y., and will visit in Ohio on their way home. Mrs. Reid is that at all her parties, whether at Wrest Park or Dor chester house, the American element is perpetually to the fore. The stars and stripes are, figuratively speaking, alwavs fluttering the faces of visit ors it is absolutely impossible to get away from them. Then again she is everlastingly comparing English ways and English customs with American and always to the detriment of the for mer. Never was there a more patriot ic American woman than she is. There are heap3 of titled would-be suitors for the hand of her pretty lit tle daughter, but they receive no en couragement from Mrs. Reid, whose heart is centered on Miss Reid's marry ing a man of her own nationality. The arrangements for the sale of Dorchester house by its owner, Colonel Holford, to Mr. Reid are now almost complete. Of all the millionaire's abodes in Park Lane, there is not one to approach Dorchester house in size or magnificence of architecture. Just now, with Whitelaw Reid fortune be hind it, it is looking majestic comfort gleams from every window daintiness and refinement represented in a wealth of color and flowers attract the eye of every passerby, while above all flutters the United States flag. The ball already referred to will in all likelihood be a real housewarming, as by the time it comes off, Dorchester house will have passed definitely into the hands of the American ambassador. The latest information to hand is that there is some doubt as to Mrs. Longworth's visit in June, an event for which the great festivity was in the first instance arranged. However, I have it on the best authority that whether the longworths come or not, the ball is to take place. Mrs. Reid is asking over many of her American relatives and friends to it. All the preparations indicate that the hostess means to take up her place as a leader of society this season. Already her invitations are out for a succession of dinner dances. At these, there will be for the elder guests, the option of play ing bridge in the exquisite new card room which is one of the features of the house unlike all the rest, for it is in eastern style, and contains the most beautiful Chinese and Japanese things, and is correct in every detail. Defective Page \-z W Speoial to The Journal. Washington, June 9.Mr. and Mrs, William J. Boardman if this city, have announced the engagement of their daughter, Josephine Porter, to Senator Wmthrop Murray Crane of Massachu setts. Miss Josephine Boardman enioys a so cial popularity of an unusual degree in this city, where her parents maintain such a splendid home and are prominent not only socially but in all thing8 that stand for the good of the District of Columbia and its citizens. Senator Crane is a widower, in his fifty-third year. He is the son of Z. M. Crane, whose father, Zilnas Crane, founded in 1801, the paper manufactur ing business now directed by the sena tor. His birthplace was Dalton, Mass. At 17 he left school to begin business life as a rag picker, the lowest position In paper manufacture. After working up thru all the grades of the business he was made superintendent of a large mill in Dalton, and afterward was ad mitted to partnership in his family's firm. He has been lieutenant governor of Massachusets one term, and govern or of that state for two terms. On Oct. 13. 1904, he was selected to fill the un expired term of George F. Hoar, de ceased, which will expire next March. The wedding day is not yet determined upon. Miss Josephine Boardman's sister, Miss Boardman, accompanied Mrs. Longworth to the Philippines, and was for sorne time her constant Companion, but of late, Miss Josephine Boardman, the younger sister, has been more with Mrs. Longworth. Miss Josephine Boardman possesses strong domestic tastes and is an intellectual and cul tured young woman. She has been greatly and justly admired. Senator Crane bids fair to become known as the present day "great paci ficator." He is on friendly terms with more senators than anv other man in the senate, on either side of chamber. The democrats like him almost as well as the republicans. He rarely has any thing to say from his seat, out in the brief period of his senatorial service he has already become one of the influen tial men in the opper house. There is no doubt that the European 1jongworthf 'ourney Representative and Mrs. will be as full of wonders and surprises as was the memorable tour of the orient about which the United States and its dependencies were gissiping this time last year. They are bound to see all the rulers along their path, just as they did then, altho the royal habiliments and standing will be on guite a different scale. That the king of England has intimated his wil lingness to be present the night of the musical at the Whitelaw Reid resi dence, where the Longsworths will be staying, may seem more surprising to the English than it does to ourselves, because so far in the young life of the president's dauechter she has seen, the best of everything which has happened to be going on ^here she was. In fact, the king, who has never been chary in his admiration of the American girl, could receive from Mrs. Longworth some illuminating explanations of our customs, etc., which would deserve the royal approval quite as much as did the carefully chosen words of praise be stowed^ upon U'er by our last princely visitor/,"the- Gafekwar of* Baroda, whom she initiated into the mysteries of the national game at the baseball park last week. Incidentally speaking in Phila delphia the prince said his wife was completely captivated by the American woman, and inasmuch as 'the lengthiest stay of the couple was in thi city, she must have had Washingtonians entirely in mind. Unfortunately for the feminine point of view, the maharanee left no small details in the way of summer girl finery that can be -with propriety copied at this stage of our national develop ment. Her evening toilette was of the material we admiresoft, creepy white silkbut the way she got in it, as it appeared only a series of voluminous wrappings with one loose end to throw over her head, would hardly appeal to the average belle. Her jewels, however, were quite up to the mark, her pearl necklace being formed of strand after strand of beautiful specimens. A good deal of speculation is going the rounds concerning Mrs. Long worth's presentation gown, which rumor has it will be none other than the robe she donned on the morning of Feb. 17. The chief distinction of the bridal gown, which suited the wearer to perfection, was the gor geous court train, fashioned of silver brocaded satin, showing a conven tional design of soft-petaled lilies, on the order of the lotus lily convention alized by the wearer's art. Here and there as the light falls upon its surface, wavy ripples of sil ver represent the flowing water upon which the lilies are supposed to float, and the trailing ioliage is woven in the satin in the same soft undercur rent of silver lines.""As conspicuously as pale silver can stand out from^ a lustrous ground of satin, the lilies stand out from the indefinite figures in the background of the brocade. However, as the etiquette of the court demands a decollete bodice, some distinct alterations will have to be made if the entire robe is to do duty on the occasion of the presentation. The Russian ambassador and Bar oness Rosen were the hosts at one of the most distinguished as well as memorable dinners given this season, when they entertained in honor of the Japanese Ambassador and Countess Aoki. Altho the war in the east has been over for nearly a year, and dip lomatic relations between the two warring countries resumed after the signing of the treaty at Portsmouth, nevertheless this dinner marks the first resumption of social intercourse be tween the diplomatic representatives of the czar and the mikado, so that it had more than ordinary significance. The Countess Aoki was confined to the em bassy on account of illness, so was un able to be present at the dinner. The guests were almost wholly made up from the higher diplomats at present in the city, together with the Nether lands Minister and Mme. van Swin deren, the Counselor of the Japanese Embassy and Mme. Miyaoka, Senor Pastor, the charge d'affaires of the Spanish legation BarOn Schlippen bach, the censul general from Russia at Chicago, who came on for the din ner and has been the house guest of the embassy Prince Koudacheff of the embassy staff and the Seckendorffs, who have recently revived the title of count and countess, which looks so much better upon their visiting cards than just plain Mr. an&Mrs. The minister from SfSni, 1Phya "W Pf THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL^ Sunday, June Vo, I0d6. Ak haraj Varadhara, has takes? one of the Hawthorne Inn cottages at Cape Ann, for the summer and will leave Wash ington for that place June 13. He will "be accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Loftus, the latter an' exceedingly pretty Ameri can woman, and -iNai Cheun, and Nai Terr, all of the lagation staff. The minister particularly interests himself in the outdoor sports in this country 1 and has generously given several hand some cups, so it adds much to a resort to have him among the summer resi dents. The engagement has been announced in San Francisco of Midshipman Victor Nicholson Metcalf, son of the secretary of commerce and labor and Mrs. Met calf, to Miss Marie Lucille Butters, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry A. Butters, prominent residents of that city. Miss Butters is a graduate of one of the fashionable finishing schools of New York, and is a great favorite in her set in Oakland. Mr. Metcalf is the younger son of Secretary and Mrs. Metcalf, and is also popular, particular among his naval associates. The wedding, so it is announced from San Francisco, will not take place for a year yet. Altho many well-known persons are in the city, as evidenced by the in formal assemblages at the Chevy Chase club, the entertaining that has made the season one of note is a thing of the past, and many houses still open are ready for the drawn blinds and boarded doors which give Washington in sum mertime the appearance of a city asleep. As mid-June approaches, the real business of the summer resorts begins, and one hears familiar names as hosts and guests at Bar Harbor, Narragansett Pier, and the north shore of Massa chusetts, which has lately become a fa vorite rendezvous. The present season is remarkable for the number of Americans who will pass the summer in Europe. Among the way-" farers, none will be followed in their journeys with a keener interest than Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Long worth. Possibly no woman of her years has had a more varied experience as a traveler, and if tales one hears from her erstwhile fellow-voyagers be true, few have a greater facility for mak ing themselves agreeable under the stressful circumstances which are liable to beset even the most favored. Among others sailing recently were Mrs. Elkins, Miss Elkins and Richard Elkins, the family group going direct to Nauheim, Germany. The return is set for the late fall. Mr. Justice and Mrs. Brown also go over for an indefinite stay, and from this time until the 1st of July the exodus will continue. Mrs. Hosley, wife of Commander Harry Herbert Hosley ,at present in command of the expedition that is con veying the dry dock Dewey to the Phil ippines, left the city during the week for the Blue Ridge mountains. Later Mrs. Hosley and, her daughter, Miss Genevieve, will go to Osterville, Mass., for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. George Westinghouse of Pittsburg, who are expected back from Europe in a few weeks, will so to Lenox and occupy Erskme Park. The rose garden at Erskine Park, which was established a few years ago, has come to splendid maturity and is one of the features of the fine estate. Mr. and Mrs. John W. Foster, whose retirement from Washington society on account of mourning, during the past season, has been-a great loss, as they are among the most elegant hosts at the capital, are about to close their res idence on Eighteenth street, and go to their home at Henderson Harbor, where in company with their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Lansing, and their children, and Mrs. Dulles, they will spend the summer abroad. Miss Nora Hoy arrived from Europe on Tuesday and is the guest of Miss Ethel Robeson. Miss Hoy will make a round of visits among her friends in this country, and in August will sail for China, where she goes to stay with her sister, Mme. Eogestvensky, whose hus band has but recently been appointed first secretary of the embassy in China. Miss Hpy is being extensively enter tained while in Washington. Many friends in this city will be interested in hearing that Pierre Botkin, formerly secretary of the Rus sian embassy in this city, has been transferred from Brussels to the em bassy at London. M. Botkin was a great social favorite here, and his wife, who was Miss Frances Peyson, was one of the most popular girls in Washington society. The Russian ambassador and Bar oness Rosen, accompanied by Prince Koudacheff, left for Magnolia Beach June 4. Jerome Bonaparte will not go to Eu rope this summer as has been his cus tom, but will remain in Washington for the greater part of the warm season, making occasional visits to friends in Newport, Bar Harbor, and other north ern reBorts.
