JEAN ELIOT’S SOCIETYNEWS AND GOSSIP
MANY MEMOIRS
REPORTED
DUE SOON
Mrs. Longworth, Ham
mond, and Hoke Smith
Among Number
Reports that Mrs. Alice Roose
velt Longworth is writing
her memoirs make me “ha’
my doots,” which I would much
father not have. For nothing in
the line of recollections could be
more interesting literature than
such a volume, or, volumes, from
the, pen of “Princess Alice." that
to, if she would write with no
reservations.
1 But this business of writing
memoirs has grown far too popular,
ft seems to me. to have any appeal
to Mrs. Longworth, who to nothing
if not original. Imagine her letting
Mrs. Borden Harriman beat her to
anything!
However, Mrs. Longworth ought
to write her memoirs it she is re-
Sonslve at all to altruism.’ For
e sale of these memoirs would
give her all the pecuniary aid she
could possibly wish for herself and
relatives and friende-and then she
would have a big golden pile left
over to endow & home for indigent
authors of memoirs, who tried and
toiled to "ring the bell” of success.
Mna Longworth’s volume would
undoubtedly “sweep the country”
and brush up several large spaces
In “furrln’ parts.”
John Hays Hammond
May Write Memoir.
Now that this subject of mem
oirs ( has been taken up it might
be timely to mention that J have
heard that John Hays Hammond
has, , recently been rummaging
through his papers and making
notes preparatory to writing an
autobiography. Again I hope the
report is true. There is probably
no man living today, who has had
a career more full of Interest and
variety than Mr. Hammond. His
African experience—his American
experience—his experience, in short,
all over the world, would contribute
to make a marvelously thrilling
“true story.’’
In his h6me on' Kalorama road
there is a large room, the walls of
which are solidly cohered with auto
graphed pictures of famous people
of the last half century all over the
world., whom Mr. Hammond has
' known Intimately.
Ex-Senator Hoke Smith to another
who has been thinking about telling
the world in book form what he has
seen and heard and done during a
long and sometimes lurid political
career. And he may be at the job
right now. It seems, if I recall
correctly,' that he was looking
around for a capable Amanuensis.
Prince Caetani Will <
Probably Return.* ■
Along with the report of Ifta
Longworth’s authorial intention
came another that made me scepti
cal. Thls-is that Prince CaetahLthe
Italian ambassador, who has con
tributed so much to make attractive
the masculine portion of Washing
ton Society, will not return to*hw
post here In the autumn.
Prince Caetani can return if he
wants to, ,1 feel sure, and I believe
he will wish to be 'here a while
longer. He stands in well with Pre
mier Musolini and, according to the
latest reports via London, the dic
tator is in a better position to die
tats than ever.

WEITHER YOGI’S
TIDINGS IRE
HOPEFUL .
Sunday Fair; Ideal for pic
nics, Sports, and Mah
Jong, Says Sage
While thousands waited with ba*-’
ed breath In the Chamber of the
Oracle at the Weather Bureau to
day, the local yogi frowned sh
concentration kt his well-tried magic
crystal.
- The suspense was awful. Wom
en suppressed hysterical sobs and
pressed tiny tots closer to their
bosoms. Strong men clenched their
teeth and prepared to perspire or
to freeze like heroes.
An expectant hush fell on the
multitude, as the white-bearded
prophet emerged from his myster
ious solitude.
“Fear not!” he said, in a sep
ulcharal voice, raising his long,
bony hand clear of the figured
robe. “I have good news for you!”
An audible gasp of relief en
sued.
“Tomorrow Sunday will be
clear and slightly warmer,” smiled
the wise man, "with the humidity
even mote unimportant than it Is
today. During the week, the weath
er will be gradually warmer and
as fair as could bo expected. To
ward the end of the week, the
temperature, may go down'again.
“Tomorrow should be a fine day
for picnics and sylvan jaunts. It
will not be too warm for mah
jong, nor too cool for tit-tat-toe.
Admirable weather for sports—■ad
mirable!” ,
And, as a paean of thanksgiving
willed up from a thousand throats,
the mystic man of the elements
bowed gravely and went back to
his knitting.

HELP SGITTER
GOOD LUCK
Fraud Orders Issued by P. 0.
Against N. Y. Sellers
of Charms
Two New York firms engaged In
the business of “reading the future”
and purveylhg “good luck” charms
slipped badly in regard to tholr
own future and apparently gave
away all the good luck in stock.
Fraud ordesr issued by the Post
Office Department, according to an
nouncement today, have put a
crimp in their activities.
Proprietors of the Asta Studio,
one of the parties named, through
newspaper advertisements, offered
for 10 cents an "astrological in
terpretation" which was acoom
panjpd by a letter offering the pur
chaser a so-called "zodiac emblem”
or “good luck and happiness” ring
for $2.25, which, it is alleged, cost
the firm about 86 cents. This is
supposed to have netted the firm
1281,860.
The Zodiac Research Society con
ducted a similar enterprise furnish
ing "interpretations” and rings for
|2 apiece. Both concerns have
been deprived of further use of the
mails for their business.

New Hat Gives Woman
Freed From Jail
Self Respect
NEW YORK, July M.—A m
hat will do more toward re-ea
tabllshing the srtf-respent of a
woman released from jail than
any other item, according to
the report of the prison depart
ment of the Salvation Army
made public today.
Years of personal service for
women prisoners, the report
said, have demonstrated to
army workers that the question
of a hat is paramount.
M A girl or a woman cannot
seek employment in the dis
charge clothes provided by the
prison,” the report pointed out,
b and often her own no longer
fit. If the girl has been in
prison even for three months
the hat she wore when arrested
simply will not do.”

Per Cent American," says the mat
ter was discussed St the recent Ku
Klux Klan convention in this city

ENGRAVED GENS
AHE ANCIENT
ART
Forgers Have Many Methode
’ for Manufacturing These
••Antiques”
*
Replying to an Inquiry regarding
the authenticity of engraved genu:
It would be a- grave mistake to de
clare that all old Intaglios are good.
There must have boon many poor
engravers of genu 160 years before
the birth of Christ, with a few
Illustrious ones, gome gems are
archaic in character—more quaint
than beautiful, .
Here are poms practical rules
which may help the. collector. An
tlque intaglios are nover of large
•toe; barely a half an inch in their
greater diameter. The work always
covers and there is no
margin. True antique intaglios are
mostly irregular in shape, as close
os possible to the original frag
ment of stone, or to the scarab
which has been converted Into au
engraved gem.
There is no great attempt made
to polish the back. It is shaped
up, possibly, 4>y a rough process of
grinding, and moderately lustrous.
There to no appearance of modern
scamping, however, on the back,
but it Was on the front of the
stone that the artist applied all his
powers. Excessive polish on the
face of the gem to sufficient to
awaken doubts as to its authentic
ity. Many a fine antique, like a
good old picture, has been cleaned
out of existence, for It has been
the unfortunate practice with jewel
ers to repolish the surface of a.
good antique intaglio in order to
remove the scratches and traces
of friction which true antiques
usually present.
Even a roughly worn surface
may be a trick of the modern gem
forger. There to a cunning game
played ,by Italians on innocent
strangers who hunger for antiques.
A brand-new engraved stone to pro
cured for a few scudl, and this to
crammed down a turkey’s craw.
Now, the gizzards of birds have a
surprising muscular force, with
powers of attrition increased by the
gravel they swallow. The gem
leaves the birds with a peculiar an
tique-looking surface. Another meth
od to to take a true antique of lit
tle merit and to retouch It. A care
ful scrutiny with a glass will show
incongruity of handling.
It . used to be thought that
antique* gems were aJWays lustrous
In their infernal polish, but this to
not the case. Careful examination
of an engraved gem by means of
a glass will show a certain dim
haziness on the face of the stone,
