Treasury Department would be
made.
Representative Alexander was born
in Cincinnati. January %, 1852. His
father. who was descended from
the early settlers in America.
died when the son was only
years old. He attended the publ .
schools Of Cincinnati for three years.
when he and his mother, who was a
native OF England. moved to Canton.
Lewis County. Mo.
At Canton young Alexander finished
his studies in the public schools ana
entered Christian University, in the
same town. in 1865, graduating In
lS'2 with the degree OF bachelor OF
arts. In June, 1907. the same hstitU.
ton conferred upon him the honorary
degree OF master of arts. In June
1913, he moved to Gallatin. Mo-, and
has resided there ever since.
Mr.. Alexander studied law and was
admitted to the bar in 1875. The next
year he was elected public admin j.
traitor and was reelected In 1850. He
served t&enty-one years on the board
OF education for the Gallatin district
and two terms as mayor OF GallatI /
In 1852 he was elected to the gen
eral assembly Of Missouri, and in
1884 was reelected. and was chairman
Of the appropriations committee. In
1885 he was again elected. and served
as speaker OF the house.
Mr.. Alexander was Judge Of the
seventh judicial circuit OF Missouri
from 1901 to 1904. when he resigned
to take seat in the Sixtieth Con-
Gress. Mr.. Alexander was named by
President Wilson as House member
OF the United States commission to
the international conference on safety
of life at sea. He was chairman Of
this commission. He became chair
man of the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries when the Dem
ocrats gained control of Congress in
1910. and in that capacity has draft

books.

This season. which gave all indi-
cations- Of being the most brilliant
socially IN the history of Washing
ton. seems now to be inclined to dis
appoint q bit Really society IL very
dull Just now. OF course, the debu-
tantes are quite gay: there Is some
thing on the calendar for them every
day during December, which Is ira
ditionally the month for debutantes.
But there Is little else going on:
a charity ball or two occasionally and
a few more or less informal dinner
parties. none OF any special size or
brflliancy.
OF course. the Presidents illness
has much. to do with It, Normally.
With so many new members Of the
Diplomatic Corps, there would be
round OF formal functions in their
honor: but as none Of the new en-
voys have yet been officially re-
ceived by the President. the enter
tainments which are being given for
the various diplomats are quite IN
formal. Then, for the same reason,
the important series Of entertain
rnents at the White House which
were mapped out early in the sea
son are being held IN abeyance; II
has been definitely stated that there
win be no festivities until after the
New Year.
The first state party at the Exec
utive Mansion was scheduled for mis-
week, next Thursday evening. and
was to have been \ dinner In COM
pIirnent to the Cabinet members and
thslr wives, bit Of course that has
been postponed until later In the sea-
son. and unless there is a marked
Improvement in the Presidents con-
dition II IL probable that all White
House functions for the coming sea-
son will be cancelled. The uncer-
tainty about the White House pro-
gram intsrferes a bit with the plans
Of Washington hostesses, who usu-
ally wait for the White House to
announce its dates before making
its own engagements. This Is the
ness.
NO ENTERTAINMENT
AT WHITE HOUSE
II really seems too bad that there
isn't likely to be a program Of enter
taining at the Executive Mansion!
This is practically the first season
that Mrs. Wilson has had to show
what she can. do by way OF planning
and putting over a brilliant social
campaign-and the continued i'll
health Of Mr.. Wilson has interfered
this year. No one doubts either her
ability or her inclination. Her first
season, when she came to the White
House as q bride in l9ls-which calls
to mind the fact that the President
and Mrs. Wilson will soon have a

will have charge of all affairs OF this

Reports from Paris said 1t was ex-

delegation would remain in Paris af-
ter the departure OF the other MEM
bers, and would represent this coun-
try in the supreme council. The pres
ent plan is to have Ambassador Wal

to his other duties.

long to the resident set here ana AZ
was this set that attended those three
receptions in large numbers All Of
the parties were perfectly huge. The
Drain house and the Tucker home
were both just crowded to the point
OF suffocation and Rauschers where
Marcia Chaplin made her bow was
fairly oyerhowing with people.
It does seem quite natural to attend
parties at Rauscher's once more. II
has helped to make me realize the
war is really over as much as any one
thing-to see Rauscher's gsiIy lighted
up again and with motors lined up
and down Connecticut avenue and
driving Up to the door a. Of old. The
government established some sort Of
ofiices there during the war period
but now that is all thing Of the past
and brilliant functions again hold
sway. Marcia Chapin's party was
lovely-so was Helen fuckers and
Marion Drains. And flowers-they
were all just swamped with flowers.
At the fuckers, you could hardly see
the house for the flowers. They have
an attractive house in Connecticut
avenue Just next to the Luttrell man
sion; not a big one. but an unusually
attractive one. The fuckers lived for
years in Chevy Chase. and many OF
the guests at their tea were their old
Chevy Chase friends Of all ages
many having known Helen since she
was a little girl.
MT. Tucker is a very prominent law
yer in this city and belongs to an old
Washington family. All Of the weeks

Chaplin Is also OF the legal profession.
Mr.. Chaplin is proud OF his ancestry

1850 Of parents whose ancestors rem
dered gallant services in the Revolu-
tionary war. John Hart, Of New Jer-
sey. a direct ancestor on his mothers
side. was one Of the signers OF the
