Spcucer 1'ctirose, the sistcr-lu-luw ot pr. Charles J'ctiroso and Henntor 1'cnrosc. Iinving heen dccorntrcl by the king and queen nf Uclgium for Joins sonic wonderful work for that country ilmiiiK the war. Well, did you know that JIm. Victorian Citsliiiiuii. ot AVashinRton, who is a sister of Mr. King AValnu right, of this rlty, nml therefore the daughter of former Senator .rarae1 Duncan Forrester, of Ohio, ha nlio been decorated? Of course, know n number of persons have hern honored by decorations, but there have not been many who have received just this special one. It is the Queen Elizabeth medal and it Is mvnrdcil by the king and queen of llclgium for exceptional work otiii . Mrs. Cushman, "It appears, llcs in Wash ington, and she and her husband arc great friends of the ISclgian minister there. At the outbreak ot the war in 1i14 Mrs. Citshiimti went to the minister olid offered her services in behalf of Belgium, and she hns been work ing for that country every day In Washington since Jllli. I understand that Mrs. Cush man. Mrs. Penrose and Mrs. l.arz Andersen arc the only three women in America to lie so honored. Mrs. Penrose, I lime been told, has taken over the support of sonic clglitj x Hinges until their reconstruction is com pleted. IWONDEIl if it's been as rainy at other places as It has been here for the Inst week? People seem to be having a good time down nt White Sulphur Spriugs, whether it's in spite of the weather or on account nt it. The Charles IS. McMiclmcls arc there now and Mr. Thomas HorrU Powers has gone down lately from. Atlantic City He iwpcets to stay for quite a long time. Nn talic Homes is there for n short xisit. mid ngcln Xalle has gone down with tiabrleln Tilghman to stay at Mrs. Nnlle's cottage. iJitl you know that Angela was taking n coiitsc in nursing? She lins just finished her t i dining for overseas service, but ot course she won't be called now. Business lias beckoned -that's not bad. al most nllitcrutiou Mr. Stotcsbury, and he went to White Sulphur lust week to go through the coal fields or something like that. And Mr. Itobcrt K. Cassatt and Mr. AValtcr Janucy nre thcie for two bankers' conventions, one this Inst week-end and the other next week-end. They are both mem bers of the board of governors o the In vestment Bankers' Association which really looks as if it ought to be spelled with large capitals and written on u separate line. THE Flower Market nt Itittcnhousc Square on Wednesday is going to have something that bus never really been seen in this country before, as far as anybody on the committee knows. It s to be the traditional French fate readings from the Jacqueminot rose, and Mrs. I. Price Kwing, who hns seen it done in France and Belgium and un derstands all about it, is going to have charge of it. It is a custom that hns descended from" the time of Henry IV of France. It hounds- quite delightful and I'm anxious to "sec how it's done, for I must confess that I don't quite understand it. I've heard that the "booth" where it will be presented is going to be near the fountain and covered with a huge umbrella and nttrnctively ar ranged with tables and chairs for flie people who arc wniting their turn. It's something t .entirely new in the way of attractions. Did I say that Kathcrinc Secler is going to help Mrs. Ewiug with it? Well, she is. She's been down in Baltjmorc, but she's coming home in time for this. I JUST wish I could tell you nil the names of all the women who nre interested in the carnival and country fair part of the Horse Show at Devon next week. It's simply man clous. Kvery one you ever heard of is in it. I don't sec where on earth the people who will buy arc to come from. The ma'in committee, as you know, has Airs.
