Sayings and Doings Hint at Her Western Chateau Tale
Mrs Crowninshield asserts her forthcoming The Archbis op and the Lady centers on a French chateau near Paris owned by Mme Joliet Adams. The plot avoids Washington figures and leans on historic abbey memories, while the Crowninshield family’s visit to the chateau sparked the idea for the book. Henry C Townsend elected president of the American Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents. He traces a long rail career from 1860s clerical roles to top passenger positions across several lines. Lucania arrivals in New York include Lord and Lady Francis Hope, with Lady Hope known as May Yohe.
