/" HE ladies of the cabinet are not
supposed to exercise any in
fiuence on affairs of state, but
they often do. They are for
that reason personalities of interest
aside from simply their domestic indi-
yiduality. The changes made by Pres
ident Roosevelt In his board of official
advisers recently have brought several
women of force and talent into the
public eye, for when man goes into
the cabinet his social duties are much
expanded, and his wife, if he Is for
tunate enough to have one. becomes an
important factor in the discharge of
this part of his responsibilities. As
Illustrating the part the ladies play In
politics 1t may be stated that Washing
