Sharp, ambassador to France, was giving a dinner and reception In Parla In honor of President Wilson. On the way over from France, President Wilson nominated Hugh CL Wallace of Tacoma to HU the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Sharp." Who Is Hugh CL Wallace of Tacoma? Well, he Is a close personal friend of President Wilson and also an Intimate friend of Col. E. M. House. His wife lsa daughter of the late Melville W. Fuller, chief Justice of the United States Supreme court The Wallaces spend their winters In Washington and are prominent socially. They entertained Mr. Balfour and Lord Northdlffe, and Mrs. Wallace haa been presented at St. James. Mr. Wallace waa born In Missouri and la fifty six years of age. He was a delegate at large to the Baltimore convention which nominated Mr. Wilson and has been one of the president's moat ardent supporters. It appears that he has been influential In Democratic politics, but has a talent for escaping publicity. At present he Is national coihmltteeman from Washington. It Is said that in an unofficial capacity he has had charge of several delicate diplomatic affairs. President Wilson sent him to Europe on a confidential mission In 1914. He Is said to have been making a quiet study of lpternatlonal complications and of the problems to to be faced during reconstruction. -- VERSATILE PROFESSOR HERRON When George D. Herron was appointed an American delegate to the Princes islands conferences with the Russian factions Senator Sherman of Illinois caused to be Incorporated In the Congressional Record a newspaper article on Professor Herron. This article begins thus : D. Herron, Socialist, George writer, lecturer, expelled pastor, and free-lov- e advocate, first loomed large on the American horizon when he persuaded hla wife to divorce him and Immediately thereafter announced that he and Miss Carrie Rand were living i together. This was the climax of one of the most sensational stories that had startled the country In years, for Herron and bis affinity contemplated a colony In Metu-chesequel In a Tree-lov- e N. J., where all with the same beliefs and money could come for rest, love, and Joy." Mr. Herron was, until 1901, a minister with socialistic views which had attracted more or less attention. Stories of that time said that the mother of Miss Hand paid Mrs. Herron 850,000 for the divorce. The Congregational church of Grlnnell, la., Investigated Its pastor. He replied by publicly attacking marriage and was expelled. Later he was expelled from the chair of applied Christianity In an Iowa college It was said that Mrs. Rand had endowed the chair with 100,000. Mrs. Rand then founded a social science school in New York, which Is still going. Herron went to Florence, Italy, to live and Mies Rand died there In 3914. Recently Herron was Involved In some sort of a peace scheme In Switzerland. Of late he has made many contributions to the Journals of the continent In praise of President Wilson, which have been collected In book form. d We are constrained to give many of the dignified wraps for spring the Indefinite title of "outer garment." They are toga-lik- e affairs which manage t combine the Cbnvenience and warmth of coats with the grace and style uf capes; part coat and part cape. Designers have employed a world of Ingenuity In making them, sometime-Joinin- g a regulation cape to a short coat and sometimes merging two garments Into one, but always contriving to keep the suggestion of very much In evidence. In the wrap shown It Is the sleev.-tha- t turns the trick of converting a long coat Into the semblance of a cape.

It left New York February 15 for a swing around the 'circle to the lndflc const and Is the when the public Is not told some new thing, actual or projected, In aviation. The latest new thing Is the announcement It Is a dull day indeed that Jules Vedrlnes is planning to make a flight" from New York to Chicago, starting his flight end It on from a Gotham top of one of the Windy City's big loop buildings and roosting for the night en route on equally precarious perches. Jules Vedrlnes Is a noted French flyer who has acquired skill In alighting with his machine. This skill ha grown out of special service during the war. This was the hazardous p'ork of landing French secret service men behind the German lines and bringing them back If possible. This service required landings In all t of places and under all sorts of conditions and the no less difficult ascents. That the aviator has survived Is proof of his uncanny skill. Anyway, the other day Vedrlnes amazed Paris by alighting on the roof of a building. No one should make the mistake of thinking Vedrlnes merely a clever flyer with a specialty Had not the armistice been signed November 11 bomba would In all probability have been dropped on Berlin within 48 hours.
