There was some mention of the name of Nancy Lane, daughter of the SecVtary of the Interior and I Mrs. LanV. as a possible debutante, , But no. Miss Lane would not make her debut until next sea-son In any j event. Moreover. It's war time. and. 'besides. Secretary Lane disapproves i rather thoroughly of girls making a ' formal debut at any time.

A Japanese In dustrial and economic mission, head ed by Mr Tamashlma, Is touring the country, and will doubtless drop in on us. In Washington; and wo are promised a visit from an embassy extraordinary from the Peruvian Pezet y Granda was a true Pan-Amer ican bud. her coming out party having been given in the beautiful Pan American Union building, with all ttfo diplomatic and official world present. Another interesting event of the week was the celebration on Wed- Mies nesday October SI of the official Club, and received such a warm re ception that the more ambitious project of taking over the old Cabin John Inn was readily undertaken. The present plan is to serve lunch eon. as well as tea, dinner and sup per with dancing a a feature of the evening entertainments. Tuesday. Thursday and Saturday evenings arc to be reserved for club members. President Iteeelved Bishop Gore. One particularly Interesting visitor we have with us this week-end, the Itu Bev Charles Gore. D D- D. C. L.. lord bishop of Oxford, who Is the guest of tho Rt Rev. Alfred Harding, bishop of Washington. Bishop Gore was in Washington In 1907. but he was then canon of Westminster and possibly some of those who met him and remember him pleasantly may not recognize him under his new title. Since that time the distin guished prelate has been successively bishop of Worcest-r, bishop of Bir mingham and bishop of Oxford. The bishop is to be received by the President tomorrow, and yesterday Bishop Harding gave a pleasant little tea at which the clergy of the dio cese had opportunity to meet him. All of which Is reminiscent of the visit of the Rt. Rev. Cosmo Gordon Lang, archbishop of York, who wss in Washington last Easter and stayed with Bishop Harding what time he was not the guest of Lord and Lady Reading at the British embassy. I remember so well going out to the Cathedral Close on Easter Sun day to hear His Grace of Tork preach in Bethlehem Chapel and getting just close enough to see the prelate's gay scarlet hood disappearing through the door ao th procession wended its way to tho chancel. THe chapel is small, you know, and the archbishop draws a tremendous crowd. That morning the little parish birthday of the Emperor of Japan. Unfortunately, however, only the Japanese residents of Washington and the members of the embassy staff, of course, "were privileged to take part In the picturesque cere monies at the embassy. The dinner usually given by the Japanese am bassadpr to bring the day to a suit able conclusion was cancelled this year. How considerate of the Emperor to be born In chrysanthemum time was my first thought when tho cele bration was mentioned; and the I learned that he wasn't He was born the last day of August Instead of the last day of October, but by imperial decree his official birthday Is October 31. The reason Is not symbolic, as one might expect, but purely prac tical. In Japan August Is the hot test month of the year, most of the officials slip away for vacations and. in short, the Son of Heaven doesn't feel that It Is an appropriate time to have a birthday October, on the other hand. Is a beautiful month, the chrysanthemum Is In its glory and the signs are all propitious. The cele bration of the Emperor's anniversary marks the opening of the social sea son at Tokyo. f.1: GUDE'S TALKS ON FLOWERS NO. 16 cAtagrtr7 PJB Vsfl POTTED FLOWERS FOR INDOORS M ANY persons delight in having about the house numerous numbers of potted plants, espe cially potted ferns.
