The Cabinet Families.

The President and six members of his
cabinet being absent from the capital
just now speaks worlds for the peace
Of mind-even if temporary-of the
government officials. The President has
gone back to Harlakenden House, at
Cornish, for an indefinite stay, and will
spend just as much time in the open
as possible.
In easy touch with him on the New
England side of the country are his
son-in-law. Mr.. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury, who is at North Haven.
Lansing. who is at Manchester over
Sunday, and with Mrs. Lansing the
guest of Col. House. The Secretary of
Commerce and Mrs. Redfeld are motor
ing to the north shore, taking the trip
quite leisurely, and are today the guests
of their son-in-law and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Drury, at Syracuse.
N. Y.
The Attorney General left Washing
ton yesterday to motor to Monterey, to
join Mrs. Gregory and their children
for a few days rest. Mrs. Gregory, sr.,
and Mrs. Nalle, the mothers respec-
lively of the Attorney General and Mrs.
Gregory, are at Monterey, and Miss
Jane Gregory, who has been in Texas
to join her parents.
The Secretary of the Navy also left at
the end of the week, and has gone to
Morehead City, a famous North Caro-
lima resort, where Mrs. Daniels and the
three younger boys are spending July.
The Secretary's visit, like those of the
other members of the cabinet. is tenta-
tive, and he may return to Washington
at any time. Mrs. Daniels, however,
will remain until early in August, and
if the Daniels boys had their way. she
would<1nake ir late in September. They
have been going to Morehead City since
they were in swaddling clothes, and all
the other girls and boys who are there
now have done likewise, scarcely miss
ing a single summer. This has created
a distinctly friendly feeling, and the
entire company of young people go into
the surf twice day, spend hours IN
fishing and sailing, and then dance and
play away the evenings. Mrs. Daniels
and her husband, on the other hand.
are with the friends who have gone
there with them every summer for the
last twenty and more years. Just as
soon as the Secretary and his family
are back at Single Oak they will be-
gin to arrange for another absence,
the plans for which are as yet ten
tatfve.
The Postmaster General and Mrs.
Burieson. who are still in town. expect
their daughters to leave Texas about
August 10, and they will stop at Yazoo
City, Miss, for time. to visit Miss
sally Williams. daughter Of Senator
and Mrs John Sharp Williams. who are
on their plantation near that place.
After they return to the capital Mrs.
Burleson will arrange to take them to
some resort for a time before they
again enter George Washington Uni
versity.
Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. Duval West
will come from Baltimore to visit the
Postmaster General and Mrs. Burle-
son for a time. Mr.. West, who was
the Presidents special Mexican agent,
has been i'll in Baltimore.
The Secretary of Labor will leave
town tomorrow afternoon. en- route to
San Francisco to attend the exposition.
