CHIEF SCOUT'S DAUGHTER.

I MAKES HER BOW TO SOCIETY. The eldest daughter of the Chief Scout, Miss Heather Baden-Powell, has just made her debut (states a London writer). She is an attractive girl with her mother's fine regularity of feature, and looked very charming in her girlish debutante frock. She came out. at the Hambleden Hunt ball, and her parents had a house party in her honour. the young guests came down to dinner before the ball and motored over from Pax Hill afterward. Lord Baden-Powell did not go, for he does not enjoy dancing. He keeps early hours and rarely breaks this rule, and lie sleeps out of doors, whatever the weather, even though he is 76. If he goee to bed early he also rises early, and when his young daughter and her friends were returning in the very late hours of the early morning—a mixed sentence which implies about six o'clock in the morning —they met the Chief Scout starting then on the two-hour tramp with which he begins the day. Lord and Lady BadenPowell are great lovers of walking, and every day Lord Baden-Powell takes a long walk, and he is usually accompanied by his wife. The dogs always take the walk, too, so that early morning in Pax Hill is announced by the happy barking of dogs as they ecamper down the lovely woods around the home. Lord and Lady Baden-Powell are to leave shortly for a holiday in Malta, with their family, but first he intends to"" finish the autobiography which he is writing. He is attacking this as thoroughly and methodically as he does everything else that he undertakes, and he spends five hours each day writing and dictating.
