The wife of the Secretary of War may
be in every sense a powerful political
hostess and gain national fame as did
Mrs. Taft during her husbands service
under Roosevelt. She might use her in
fluence entirely for civic improvements
in the service as did Mrs. Root. That
capable lady concerned herself very much
in the charities of the army, in the hous-
ing and general condition of the troops
in many ways in which War Secre-
tary's wife can be Of lasting benefit as
for instance. the sanitary laws in tropical
posts. especially where they related to
milk and artificial ice. It would appear
that Mrs. Garrison is to be the happy
medium. neither refusing to recognize
the social obligations as did Mrs. Root,
or giving larger prominence to the
lighter side as did Mrs. Taft. Perhaps
the course pursued by that chatelaine in
the early Taft administration, Mrs. Jacob
comparison. Mrs. Dickinson was amiable
and sympathetic to the army women. She
occasionally accepted an afternoon party
of bridge. but she was perfectly frank in
her position that she considered many
afternoons spent that way a waste of
precious time. She attended luncheons
and dinners in the army circle with alb
solute impartiality and with a punctil-
iousness which could not have been sur
passed by royalty.
The new War Secretary and Mrs. Gar
rison have come to Washington i'm the
division Of the social season which is
usually given over to the philanthropies.
Mrs. Garrison has been present at scores
OF fetes intended for charity, and she has
taken advantage Of these charming out
ings to entertain her associates in the
cabinet set. The drills at Fort Myer
are one Of the recognized social functions
of the spring. and Mrs. Garrison has been
present at all those given for a special
philanthropic purpose. The Golfers of the

Mr. Garrison attended the University of
PENNSYLVANIA. and Miss Hildeburne had
several relatives In the faculty. After
taking his degrees the present Secretary
of War practiced law in the Quaker city
for a few years and then resolved to re-
turn to his native heath. But his fate
was sealed before his change of domic1le,
and the marriage occurred two years
after he had established a home In Jer-

when President Wilson called him to his

The idea OF permitting the graded chill
