MRS. LANSING IS
LATEST TO REVOLT.
Wife of Secretary of State
Ignores Most Meaningless
of Social Laws
SHE WILL STOP
RETURNING CALLS

WASHINGTON. Nov. Mrs. RoberI
Lansing. wife Of the Secretary OF State,
has laid the knife at the root Of the old
est and for many years the most mean
inglcss OF WashiEston5s social laws by
refusing longer to recognize the neces-
sity OF returning all calls made on her
during the season.
No Cabinet woman has ever thought
OF claiming the right 10 an eight-hour
day, but Mrs. Lansing has taken the
lead in strike against the custom OF
spending hours several days a week in
driving from door 10 door 10 leave her
cards for every woman in Official or
resident society who on Wednesdays
at home has left a card for her The
wife OF the President never returns
calls. and the Nice-Presdent's wife en-
Joys a certain latitude In the matter,
but the wives OF Cabinet members have
endeavOred to return all their calls,
leaving their secretaries, If they have a
social secretary, as the majority 70
them do not, to discharge the duty for
them. II is in no unsocial spirit that
Mrs. Lansing has arrived at her de-
cision. The problem is one in simple
mathematics.
without counting the Cabinet the
Supreme Court the Diplomatic Corps
representing ~ countries and the
groups Of distinguished foreigners who
visit Washington on special missions
or as a member Of international colt
ferenccs and congresses from time to
time, there are permanently in Wash
ington 96 Senator's, 435 members Of Con
gress and the members OF 80 commits
sions. boards and bureaus. from the
Smithsonian Institution TO the Columbia
Institution for the Deaf. to say nothing
OF tho division and bureau chiefs and
other officials within each department.
the ladies' Of these families call at least
once each season, with or without their
husbands, on the wife OF every member
OF The Cabinet. There are also, OF
course, TO be recokened with. in addi-
tion TO the official group, the members
OF resident unofficial society.
The real problem, however, Is the
matter Of Congressional calls. The wife
OF a member OF Congress can discharge
her social duties TO the Cabinet IN nine
calls. but cabinet woman must pay
more than 800, II she makes but one
call during the season on each Sena-
torlal and Congressional household
In her revolt against a precedent es-
tablished when the Capital was young
and official society counted its member
ship in hundreds rather than In thou
sands, Mrs. Lansing is gladly supported
by Mrs Lane, wife of the Secretary OF
The Interior, and Mrs. Houston, wife OF
the Secretary OF Agriculture.
Mrs. Baker. wife OF The Secretary Of
War, and Mrs. Daniels, wife Of the Sec
rotary Of the Navy. however, are not |
yet ready to assume SO revolutionary |
an attitude and will return all social |
calls so far as it is humanely possible |
to do So
