LADY ABERDEEN IS HOSTESS

Interests United States Commission on Agriculture In New Dublin Project. Dublin—Lady Aberdeen, on the occasion of a brilliant reception here for the American commission on agriculture which is now in Ireland, interested the visitors in her latest project. She is establishing in Dublin in a fine old Georgian mansion the Welborne club, for the reception of Irish visitors from America. At this club travelers register and are given Information telling them how to make the most of their sojourn in Ireland. The club will be opened formally next month by the American ambassador, but Lady Aberdeen caused the American commissioners to visit the

club and enroll themselves as original members of the organization. The night reception was a beautiful and impressive affair. It was held in St. Patrick’s hall in Dublin castle. Levee dress was worn and the gorgeous uniforms of the Irish officials and military made an effective contrast to the plain black of the Americans. Women presented at the Dublin court always curtsy to the lord lieutenant the same as to a king, but the American women bowed and shook hands in democratic fashion.
