the Commissioners Office, and there sat Mar
garet Wilson. She had come to see Com
missioner Newman and he was out and the
Office boy did not recognize her, ard there
she sat- She is so natural and not at all
set up about her position, and was perfectly
willing to wait.
The Hannis Taylors are SO pleased be-
cause DR.. and Mrs. Reid Hunt will be with
them for the holidays They arrive tomor
row and Mrs. Hunt will remain for month
after the doctor goes back to Boston. Every.
one has missed them so much in Washington
these last several months that they have been
in Boston.
Mrs. Taylor and Hannah are planning all
sorts of entertainment for them during their
visit
The Minister of Panama. Senor DR.. Don
Eusebio A. Morales, who just returned from
New York, entertained his colleagues from
the Central American countries at dinner
last night at the University Club, where it
is now quite the way for men to take their
guests. Senor Don Joaquin Bernardo Calvo,
Minister of Costa Rica, who is the ranking
diplomat in the corps in the point of service,
he will celebrate his fifteenth year of serv-
ice here on January S, 19l4-of course,
headed the list, and the Ministers OF Guate-
mala, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Salvador
were also there. Senor Don ]. E. Lefevre,
first secretary of the Panama legation, who
brought his mother and sister to Washing
ton during the week to spend the season, was
also guest.
Bv the way, must not forget to tell you
that the Mu Chapter of the Lambda Sigma
Fraternity are going to have their annual
dance at the Raleigh on the night after
Christmas.
certainly was glad to hear that there
viii be so many sprightly young folk here for
Christmas week-coming for their holiday
from school, of course. was terribly afraid
it was going to be dull. You see, the Presi-
dent and Mrs Wilson and their daughters
will HE themselves to some quiet spot to
spend Christmas week, and the Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs. Marshall will 60 to Indiana
polls The Secretary Of State and Mrs.
Brvan will spend Christmas in their home
at Miami Fla. and the Secretary of War and
Mrs. Garrison will 60 to Philadelphia to cele-
brate the holiday.
Attorney General McReynolds will 60 to
Elkton, KY, to hang up his stocking by the
x,,oro he hun
a little boy, and he and his mother will have
a quiet, comfortable visit, and while there,
it is safe to say that Mr.. McReynolds will be
the ranking guest, though he may have to
take back seat when he returns to Wash
ington-unless the State Department settles
the subject of precedence before his return.
Washington society won't miss out any
on the new dances if Jessie Herrion can
help it. She has gone over to New York
to spend Christmas, and she told me while
there she is going to have lesson or two
from Maurice or the Castles and get the very
latest steps. She has been going over to
Annapolis every week, where she has dam
cling class of the officers at the Naval Acad-
emy.
You said you had met Mrs. w. p Cronan
in New York, didn't you? think she is de-
lightful, too Yes, her husband is Lieutenant
Commander Cronaa and he is away on sea
duty and they have only been married short
time; in fact, they came to Washington re-
Gently as bride and bridegroom. They have
taken the house at 1914 Jefferson place, and
during Mr. Cronan's absence, Mrs Alexander
Sharp is chaperoning Mrs Cronan.
Mrs Cronon is granddaughter of former
President Grant and also is related to Mrs.
Stmson Brown, who entertained for her re-
Gently.
And, speaking of luncheons-I must tell
YOU about the great big buffet luncheon
Helen McCumber gave for Lucie Hoke
Smith it is ABOUT the largest function given
so far for the bride-elect. 1t was at Rauseh-
ers and there we're more than hundred
