SON GONE EIGHT
YEARS SOUGHT
BY FATHER
Parent Seeks Aid of Times
In Getting Word to
Missing Youth.
An elderly gentleman, of die*
tingulshed appearance, timidly
sought his way Into The Times*
editorial room today. Well groomed,
posseeing the indisputable air of
being "some one” he yet “hrank
hark from intruding upon the bustle
of a metropolitan newspaper.
He advanced hesitatingly ter a
reporter. “Are you too busy to give
me two minutes of your time? he
asked. “You see, my son—l can t
find him, and I wanted to know
it you could help me?”
His story is impressive in Its
simplltcity and it shows how the
aging father is grievng for a son
he has not seen for eight years,
and of whose present whereabouts
he has not the slightest idea.
Roy C. Hatch, the son, is twenty
eight years old. He is about six
feet tall; of medium build, and he
has the fine gray eyes, the classic
facial features, and the soldierly
bearing of his father. Roy and his
father parted at Waterbury, Conn.,
eight years ago. The son said he
was coming South; that he would
return later to meet his fathef.
Since that time no word has
reached the father.
Two years ago Henry Royce
Hatch came to Washington. He
has done everything that he could
to locate the youth. His years of
search have never even brought to
him a hope that he might be on
the right trail. His son came
South; that is all he knows.
i The saddened eyes of Henry
Hatch peered far away as he told
his story. His hope is that his
son will come to him before it is
too late.
Valentine Masque Ball.
A Valentine and masquerade ball
: will be given by the members of
I the Golden Rule Council, No. . 10,
I Daughters of America, tonight' at
i the Masonic Temple, Eighth and
IF streets northeast. Dancing will
begin at 9 o’clock.

JEAN ELIOT’S NEWS AND GOSSIP OF CAPITAL SOCIETY
Washington Colony \
at Palm Beach
Grows Apace
By JEAN ELIOT. •
THE Washington colony at
Palm Beach—where the prin
cipal diversions are! now said
to be mah jongg ahd gossip mon
gering, the two frequently going
hand in hand—seems to bo grow
ing day by day. Mr. and Mrs.
Lawrence Townsend left town to
day for the popular Florida re
sort, expecting to remain until
the end of this month; and Mrs.
W. Harry Brown started yester
day on the journey to Florida.
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Beale Mc-
Lean have been at their Palm
Beach cottage since early winter
—Mr. McLean is homeward bound
now, however, to testify in the
Teapot Dome investigation—and
Mrs. George Howard, in whom
Washington retains a proprietary
interest although she has deserted
the Capital of late, is much in
evidence these days. Mrs. Howard
formerly the “lady of the pearls,”
has been re-nicknamed “the lady
with the bandanas.”
Each and every morning Mrs.
Howard startles the “beach
combers" with a new and ex
tremely gay bandana and many
are beginning to wonder if she
has cornered the market on the
colorful bits of silk.
Mrs. Howard, who is the mother
of Margaret Perin, who married
Francis Amory, a brother of
“Charlie” Amory, is the chape
rone de luxe of all the fashion
able Palm Beach parties and she
presides each morning, over one
of the most exclusive groups on
the sands.
JUDGE WALTER BERRY, of
■ Paris, who is now visiting
his sister, Mrs. Theodore V.
Boynton, in Washington, expects
to leave for Palm Beach on Mon
day. The Misses Anna and Mary
Montgomery are already there,
under the wing of their aunt,
Mrs. Edward Douglas White, and
are usually to be found on the
sands in the mornings. Mrs.
Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte—
with Alexander Moore, American
ambassador to Spain,-Usually at
her side, is among the much feted
matrons; and Mr. and Mrs.
. Gurnee Munn are to be found
in the forefront of the fashion
able folk at this resort, where
“summer always spends the
winter.” - .*
For many years Jerome
Bonaparte was one of the most
useful of Washington’s "mar
riageable eligibles”; and, although
he has lived in New York—and
Newport and Europe—since his
marriage to Mrs. Strebeigh, so
ciety retains its Interest in his
handsome wife.
