AMBASSADOR GOES HOME TO
ENTERTAIN THE ROOSEVELTS

boast of their patronage at all are al
most exclusively tenanted by the law
makers and their families. The Hobbies
after dinner in the evening might be
mistaken for cloak rooms of the House,
so many congressman are there to be
found standing in groups and renewing
arguments begun during the day.
The congressional women who live in
apartment houses or at hotels often
unite in giving their "at homes" Thurs
day being the day observed by the sem
ators' wives and Monday by the wives
of the lower House members.

1t seems that homage to the Roose-
velts will never cease. The latest trib-
ute by a foreign diplomat was when
Baron Hengelmuller, the Austro-Hun-
garian ambassador, who is now dean of
the diplomatic corps in Washington, left
with the baroness and their daughter
for Europe, where they intend to open
their magnificent home in Vienna and
avail themselves of lOng-aWaited OPP
portunity to entertain the former Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt. Baroness
Hengelmuller has been a resident Of
Washington and a prominent member
of its official society for sixteen years,
and her acquaintance with Mrs. Roose-
welt is Of almost as long standing. She
has often been the recipient Of hospi-
tally at the hands of the Roosevelts,
at one time spending a week with them
at Oyster Bay. Baroness Hengelmuller
exacted the promise that If the Roose-
velts ever visited Vienna they would
allow her to entertain them, and In
| obedience to that promise Colonel
Roosevelt recently wrote to Baron Hen
| gelmuller naming the date when he ex-
| pected to reach the Austrian capital.
True to their word. the ambassador and
his wife, with Baroness Mia, their
daughter, promptly cancelled all en-
engagements and sailed for Vienna,
where they will open theif immense
home to TIE former President and his
wife, and also entertain them on their
estate in the Wallachian mountains,
where the boar hunting is excellent.
