WASHINGTON. 
Mrs. C. W. Fairbanks, wife of Ex- 
Vice President Fairbanks, was elected 
Jan. 15, president emeritus of the Wom- 
an’s League, National Junior Republic, 
at the annual meeting at Arlington Hotel 
because of long service as president of 
the organization while a_ resident of 
Washingtoz. In Constantinople Jan. 
14, a reception was held in the Ameri- 
can embassy in honor of the former Vice 
President and Mrs. Fairbanks prior to 
their departure for Athens. These dis- 
tinguished people have been summer res- 
idents of the North Shore, at Putnamville 
and later at Manchester, where they 
found more seclusion. ‘Their son, War- 
ren Fairbanks and family have summered 
at the Oceanside, Magnolia. 
The social set at the capital is won- 
dering if unsuspectingly President Taft 
will be a match maker through the special 
invitation he has extended the Duke of 
the Abruzzi through Ambassador Leish- 
man at Rome to come to Washington 
and deliver a scientific lecture and where 
the personage in his world-famed ro- 
mance, Miss Katherine Elkins, resides. 
North Shore society has had the privilege 
of meeting the Duke, when in Boston 
and at Hamilton as the guest of Sec. 
Meyer and family. 
Wednesday of this week President 
Taft gave a dinner, Jan. 19, to the gov- 
ernors and their wives at the White 
House. ‘The guests were also bidden 
tothe judicial reception on the 18th and 
to a dinner in their honor at the home of 
John Hays Hammond that same evening. 
Governor Draper represented Massa- 
chusetts at the conference, which called 
the governors to Washington, and the 
new Willard Hotel was the seat of the 
conference. Governor Draper addressed 
the conference on ‘‘ Automobiles and 
their Regulations.’’ 
North Shore society will regret to learn 
of the reported transfer of Ambassador 
Baron Mayor des Planches from the 
Italian Embassy at Washington to Con- 
stantinople. “The Ambassador and Bar- 
oness des Planches have been summer 
residents of Manchester and the attaches 
of the legation are especially well known 
and popular in society circles here during 
the heated term. 
Among the prominent Americans to 
be presented at the German court is the 
national exchange professor, Ide Wheeler 
of Leland Stanford University, who was 
entertained on the North Shore at Haw- 
thorne Inn, East Gloucester, by Prof. 
Basil L. Gildersleeve, father of Mrs. 
Gardner M. Lane of the Manchester

Stotesbury and Mr. and Mrs. J. K. 
Mitchell, 3rd, an uncle and aunt. Mr.

The Quaker City folk, who heard 
Lincoln Steffens of Boston at The Con- 
temporary club have not taken kindly at 
all to his address on ‘‘ The Municipal 
Problem and Its Solution,’’ especially 
when he stated that it was foolish to be 
honest for are not our successful lead- 
ers otherwise? ‘‘ Honesty is a low 
negative virtue.”” The address has oc- 
casioned all kinds of written comments 
in the Quaker City press. Mayor Rey- 
burn was in attendance. 
Of course the leading theme of the 
Philadelphia belles and beaux is “‘ Tony’’ 
J. Drexel’s engagement to Miss Marjory 
Gould of New York, especially so be- 
cause the scion of this noted Philadelphia 
family had an affair with a young actress 
not long ago and titled folk of Europe 
have kept Miss Marjory well in the lime- 
light by their wooings,
