Then, of course, there is the ex

situation, his return with a bride. Dip

generally reported that Dr. Da Gama,
who has been in France watching the
peace conference for Brazil, is quite
likely to return to his embassy here.
He was called away last fall to be
prime minister of the newly elected
Brazilian President; but his place has
not been filled and his chief dying
before he had been inaugurated, has
been replaced by that Dr. Pesoa, who
was "here with his wife and daughter
and a considerable suite only a month
or so ago. So Dr. Da Gama never
took up the prime minister's post at

Almost immediately he was sent
abroad to watch the peace conference,

was tremendously interested in the

Gama acted as her matron of honoi.
and there was all sorts of ante-nuptial
entertaining for her. Her husband
had been transferred to Japan, and
very soon after the wedding the two
of them took ship and sailed away.
Just recently, however, her husband
died, and she has rejoined her de
voted father-in-law in Paris, where he
is watching the conference, and will
return to Washington with him. So
that three of the most popular Latin
American hostesses seem about to
prove that it is quite possible for
them to "comeback.'

day was the Wilsons big day when
the President received the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate
in the morning, and had his weekly
theater party at Keith's in the even
ing, with an hour or so of golf wedg
ed in between.
The President, after exposing him
self to the Senatorial machine guns,
firing several thousand questions a
minute, for several hours, suggested
that they adjourn to the dining room
and have luncheon,, and without ob
jection it was so ordered. I believe
it was actually the first stag party
ever staged in the Wliite House din
ing room under the present Mrs. Wil
son's management. There have been
alleged stag parties before, but Mrs.
Wilson ha3 always presided at them,
usually with some one other woman
to keep her in countenance. But as
this party was to discuss the treaty
and league along with the food. It
seemed no place for her. so she con
soled herself by Inviting a couple of

theater professedly in the tired busi

reason because he Goes not have to
make any effort to entertain them.
His only appearance at a ball game
since his return rom France was on
Saturday afternoon of last week,
when he and Mrs .Wilson occupied a
box at the Army-Marine Corps bene
fit game at American League Park,
as did Vice President and Mrs. Mar
shall, the former as the Army's
guests, the latter as the Marine Corps'.
The game was for the benefit of the
soldier patients at St Elizabeth's
which is the Government Hospital for
the Insane. Many of them are suffer
ing from shell shock and are in a most
pitiable condition of depression and
need rousing and entertaining and
the fund for such "medicine" as
laughter and song is small. Natural
ly the game brought out an interest
ed and interesting audience, in
cluding General March and a number
of high army officials, and General
and Mrs. Barnett and many of the
newly returned Fourth Brigade men
and officers, and a number of Sena
torial and Congressional fans.

to pass part of it along. Her com

"It is er lovely when one can

rather gaudy mansions, many of them
built by George Boldt, of Waldorf
Astoria fame, who exploited the

Then there was Mary MartleyM,
which was one of the real war ro

through. She is the daughter of
Major and Mrs. Edwin Bradfleld Hart

Pennell Baxter, of the medical corps,
U. S. A. She herself was an active
member of a Red Cross ambulance

seem to be that nowadays last
Wednesday at noon; at Mrs. Robert

having been Miss Hartley, the brlde'j

wonderful gown of lace,- with a big
picture hat, and a shower bouquet of
roses and orchids, and her only at

The Porters' living room, where the
ceremony was performed, was a per

On the same day occurred the first
wedding In the Czecho-SIovak lega
tion. Col. Vladimir Hurban. military
attache of thc legation, married Miss
Olga Boor a third or fourth cousin,
formerly of Lansford, Pa. Colonel
Hurban came over here a year ago to
report to Mr. Masyrik. head of the
Czecho-SIovak League here, until the
latter went home recently to be his
country's first President. He left be
hind him a cheerful experience 'of
five years In Siberia, and he remained
to be the first military attache of the
newly established Czecho-Slavok le
gation here.
Miss Boor's family live in Lans

connected also with the legation, and
