CONGRESS- MAY
TAKE A RECESS.
The outstanding event perhaps of
last week was the announcement that
one of the Cabinet girls" Is soon
to become a bride: Miss Mary Archer
Glass, daughter of the Secretary OF
the Treasury and Mrs. Carter Glass.
who will take unto herself a hus-
band on November /. The fortunate
man is John Guerant Boatwright Of
Danville, Va. Miss Glass L. very
attractive young lady. but not so well
known in official society as the other
Cabinet girls. Her father only en-
tered the Cabinet after the social sea-
son was over last year and now she
is marrying before the season sets
in this year.
Except for the visits OF royalty, II
appears now that the season may be
as late as usual in getting well under
way. The Presidents illness may
postpone, il not entirely eliminate,
the official entertaining at the White
House. and Congress is talking of
adjourning for a while. They hope to
dispose of the treaty of peace by the
first of the month and then take a
recess to recover from their arduous
90 duties. Some folks seem to think
that because of the President being
incapacitated. Secretary Redfield may
have 70 stay on the job as head OF
the Commerce portfolio or leave that
post vacant.
Secretary Redfeld's resignation
was accepted to take effect about
the first of October. but because Of
the uncertainty of the general do
mestic and international situation
and inability of the President to
name a successor he arranged to
stay on, possibly until November /.
1t appears now. however. that no
successor for him can be named by
that date.
b. a.. - =
character that a long period OF
physicians as necessary. This means
that he will not be permitted to
consider any international or do
mestic questions and consequently
cannot take up the Commerce De-
partment vacancy.
Secretary RedfieId returned the
first of the week from a visit in
New York and plans to slip up there
again on the 10Th for a day or So
1t is known that the Secretary
hoped and expected to get out at
least by the first Of next month so
as to go into business again.
One thing that prompted the Sec
retary TO remain in the Cabinet was
The necessity of making final ar
ranCements for the 1920 census and
the preparation of his annual report
and estimates for Congress. These
tasks have been about completed.
The commercial service work of his
department has been organized on a
peace-time basis, with all war work
virtually wound up.
1t is possible that Mr.. Redfield may
step out and leave the department
in the hands of Edwin F. Sweet.
Assistant Secretary.
Anyway. his resignation broke up
the nice trip Mr. Sweet had planned
to take out ~ his farm in one OF
the Dakotas this fall.
REVISION OF
CALLING CODE.
Mrs RejfeId has been staying at
home o2 Wednesdays this month so
as to give her friends a chance to
bid her farewell before she leaves
the city to take up her residence in
New York. Her doing so brought to
