Bee Bureau, Washington, Aug. 23. THE long lazy days of the latter part of August hive the atmos phere of the "calm before the storm." Official hostesses who are kept in town by the "sitting" of con gress are quietly planning their sea son's festivities and the renovating of their houses. Some are moving, as in the case of the secretary of the interior and Mrs. Lane. Their home on Wyoming avenue, where they have lived in modest contentment for many years, even before the house was thrust into the lime light as a "cabinet home" is now almost obscured by tall apartment hoes all about them. They are moving several blocks to the westward on the same street, where apartment houses are of a more exclusive char acter, broader, lower and more of the private home type. They will be settled there by the middle of Sep tember, by the time Miss Nancy Lane, the cabinet bud, returns from her long visit in California. The prince is expected to arrive here on October 1, but it is general ly believed, as long as there is no of ficial announcement of the date yet announced, that it will more than likely be September 30, the anniver sary of the arrival here in 1S60, of the grandfather of the prince, the late King Edward VII, then Prince Albert Edward. The plan of entertainment for the present young prince will be much in the same vein as was that for his grandfather. He will no doubt be a guest at the White House, like his ancestor. There was a dinner party for Prince Albert Edward at the White House, one in the British le ! gation (raised to an embassy in later : years) given by Lord Lyons, then British minister, a trip to Mt. Ver non by boat, several luncheons at ' the White House and at the lega tion. The prince's visit lasted five days. The visit of the present prince, his grandson, who resembles him in looks and boyish naturalness has a strange resemblance in circum stances. His hosts, President and Mrs. Wil son, are not strangers, for like those distinguished hosts of 59 years ago, ihey met their young guest in his own native land, in the royal palace. The former hosts were President James Buchanan .and his beautiful md beloved niece, Harriet Lane, lfterwards Mrs. Eliot Johnston. -The first acquaintance Mr. Buch inan and Miss Lane had with Prince ! Mbert Edward was not official,, for lie was very young. Mr, Buchanan was United States minister at the court of St. James, and Miss Lane wai with him as his hostess. She made a wonderful success at court and grew to be a favorite of Queen ' Victoria. No American representa tives sent to foreign posts ever com manded any greater respect or drew forth more admiration than the courtly and elegant James Buchan an and Harriet Lane. Perhaps the personal acquaintance of the rulers of the two lands, had something to do with tlit consent of the one for his 'first-born and natural successor, to visit the home of the other. The ' British legation here in I860 was the ' f reat white stone mansion adjoining the Metropolitan club on II street. It w.as the residence afterwards, ot Gen. Horace Torter and is now en larged and augmented, and doing duty as a fashionable and exclusive ipartment house. It was "two blocks ind around the corner" from the White House, and the prince ot Wales made one or more trips to the legation on each of the five days. Ho was fond of the minister. In his boyish enthusiasm and keen enjoy ment of his visit here m the quaint land which might have been one of his own, he must have chaffed under many formalities at the legation, which were not carried out as strict ly in the White House, except as to the matter of the strip of red carpet, upon which his royal feet trod on entering and leaving. It was car ried about, a special detail o tnts accompanying, and wroM when the prince arrived. It was aett 5 rolled up again, close upon his feel, so that no unroyal feet . should contaminate the surface of its royal .plendor. It Is recorded that the royal ferince suffered a keen disappoint Sent In haying no danemg wrth Se charming young fci met In Washington. Miss Har riet Lane was equally disappointed not No hare a dance after the formal . "ate dinner at the White House but her uncle, the president, while he did not disapprove of dancing, was unwilling to have such un seemly levity in the executive man sion, and, as it was not his own home, he felt obliged to maintain the dignity of his administration by following the precedent estab lished by his predecessors,, and have only stately receptions in the east room. That . precedent m was broken years ago in. the Benjamin ' Harrison administration. President Harrison's household included sev eral young people, his son-tn-Iaw and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James Robert McKee, his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison, the later one of beau ties of that administration, and the presiding one,- and the first Mrs, Harrison's two nieces. Mrs. John F. Parker and Mrs. Dimmick, now the widow of that president. , The first dance known to the - White House was given by Mrs. -McKee in the east room. The president .and Mrs. Harrison did not receive the guests nor did they appear during the evening. Dane- ing was not a part of the enter tainments in the old mansion dur ing the. Cleveland or McKinley ad ministrations, but was enjoyed to some extent by the children of President nd Mrs. Roosevelt, and was indeed a feature of the Taft ad ministration, when for the first time a president led the dance himself. During the first administration of President Wilson his daughters had some dancing,' but there has been none since the first Mrs. Wilson died there. The appointment of Lord Edward Grey as British ambassador at this expensive post is the forerunner of the prince's visit here, ss it would be somewhat embarrassing to en tertain formally the future king of England, when the embassy had for its host merely a charge d'affaires. The person nappens, in this case, to be a very distinguished Englishman Mr. Roland Lindsay, for a number of years a very popular bachelor secretary of embassy here, and dur ing his service in that capacity, hav ing married one of the most popu lar and distinguished debutantes of his last season in Washington, Miss Martha Cameron, taking her off to Cairo, Egypt, where he was trans ferred. Miss Cameron was a daugh ter of Senator Don Cameron of Pennsylvania. Her mother was a daughter of General Sherman and a sister of Mrs. Nelson A. Miles. Mrs. Lindsay was an extremely pretty girl and grew to be a charming woman much admired and respected in English society. Their English home was "Stapleton" in Bland ford. She died a few months before Mr. Lindsay was returned to the embassy here, promoted to counse lor and charge d'affaires succeed ing Colville Barclay, in June. For the first time since her mar riage Mrs. Wilson failed to sit in her place as hostess at table, when the president entertained, (even though no other ladies were pres ent), last Tuesday when he had the members of foreign relations com mittee of the senate at luncheon. Mrs. Wilson, however, did not have luncheon alone. She entertained Mr. Tumulty and Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint, at the same time, at - a charming little luncheon in the private dining room, adjoining, but behind closed doors, the state dining room where the president's party sat. Popular Resort. , The White Sulphur Springs and Washington are closely linked in these modern days of the automo bile and the telephone. It vies with Buena Vista Springs and Blue Ridge Summit, for popularity with the dip lomats and higher officials, with the odds in favor of the White Sulphur with those who do not count the cost. Not that Buena Vista and Blue Ridge are moderate priced resorts, but the White Sulphur is less moderate. Echoes of a former administra tion are strong there just now, with the widow of General Benjamin Harrison, and her daughter, Eliza beth, the youngest child of the x president, born some years after he retired from the White House, oc cupying a cottage. A niece of the late ex-president, Mrs. Thornton Lewis lives there the year around, in a fine old place, "The Meadows." which is a factor in the social life at the "Old White." The Lewises have always given the use of their place for the horse show. In fact, were it not for them, there would be no horse show there. Mrs. Lewis is quite the leader in the summer festivities, and her luncheon there last week in honor of her handsome young second cousin, Miss Elizabeth Harrison, was one of the most important events of this year, outside the balls. Little Miss Harrison is a dis tinct beauty of a serious type. She goes in for international law rather than cotillions. She is a graduate in that higher branch, and is every thing but a social butterfly. Her mother has been doing considerable war work among the officers sta tioned in and around New York, be lieving that all that was possible was being done for the-enlisted men and that the officers were sadly neglected. Mrs. Thornton Lewis is the daughter of the late General Harri son's brother, the late Maj. Irwin Harrison. Her son, Lawrence, mar ried the heiress and niece of the late Mrs. H. H. Flagler, and some of the Flagler millions are now' being ex pended upon a fine summer home of the Lawrence Lewises at the While Sulphur. Mrs. Thornton Lewis is a first cousin of Russell B. Harrison, whose wife is a daughter of the late Senator and Governor Alvin Saunders of Omaha. Nebrajkansv Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes, formerly of Crete, Neb., has returned from a short visit to Atlantic City, where she went for recreation after a strenuous summer and before a rather strenuous autumn as director of the Playgrounds association of the District of Columbia. She is doing much to improve and enlarge the scope of the work of the Play grounds association. Mrs. Rhodes is ' looking for a visit from her mother; Mrs. Root, of Crete, who expects to spend the autumn with her. Dr. Robert L. Straetten, U. S. N., son-in-law of Mrs. Rhodes, whose ship is now at New York for a time, arrived here today, acompanied by his sister. Mrs. ter Ellen, who ar rived in New York last week from her home in Holland. She will make a visit here with Dr. Straetten and his family and then go on to Tam pico, where sfte will join Mr. ter Ellen. They will make their future home there. Mrs. Straetten and her children have made their home with Mrs. Rhodes during the period of the war. "The chidlren, who have been seriously ill this summer with whooping cough, are now recover ing. A marriage license was issued here this week for Herman H. Keller, aged 22, of Cedar Bluffs, Neb., and Miss Ruth B. Farmer of this city. Rev. H. I.
