pretend to have the private income

hunting a house suitable for the Do

Longs Fill the Breach.
80 the Longs, who had been the
first to offer their residence for the
entertainment of the brilliant series
OF high commissions that visited this
country Immediately after the United
states entered the war, again flung
themselves into the breach. and Of
fered the stately MacVeagh house at

arch and his queen who have every

The Longs, whose humble roof
royalty has deigned to honor, and
thereby everlastingly exalt. are not
Westinghouse Of long standing, but
the product Of this Administra ton.
Mrs. Long is from st. Louis. She was
Christine Grahame. the only daugh-
ter Of wealthy manufacturer Of
paper boxes, who left her several
million dollars when he died. Mr.
Long Is a young lawyer of Kentucky
stock, connected on his mothers side
with the well known Kentucky Breck-
Breckenridge, who was Assistant Sec
rotary of War under Garrison at the
beginning of the Wilson regime, and
resigned when his chief did. During
the first few years of their living in
Washington, the Longs were at the
Shoreham, as were the MarshaIls at
first. and for the same reason-be-
cause they could not find a suitable
house, until after Mrs. McVeagh's
