The appointment of Congressman
Frederick H. GilIett, Of Massachu-
. setts, to the SpeakeTship, from the
purely social point of view. is a sim
gularly happy one. Not only has Mr..
Gillett always been a person of con-
sequence in a social way, but Mrs.
Gillett is one of the most accom-
plished hostesses in official life. Al
though she has always rather pre-
I ferred to ally herself with the dipIO-
matte and resident set, she has little
to learn about official life.
She had her first real taste of life
| in Washington as the wife of Con-
gressman lockwood Hoar, of Massa-
| chusetts. and the daughter-in-law of
the late Senator Hoar; and as Mr.
Hoar's widow she held an enviabIe
| place here. Her marriage to Mr.. Gil
| lett took place some four years ago.
! She's a handsome woman, who
| dresses beautifully, is a cultivated
| linguist and has always been exceed
ingly conservative in her tastes.
There is much untired material
| among the Senators who are coming
in, and it will be interesting to see
how they will develop in a political

they have wives-are to play in the

was naturally full of the adventure.
He was In Washington only for about
tweRty-four hours, and believe was
also staying with the Longworths.
He's Mrs. LongwoFth's cousin, you
know. He had had at least one little
personal talk with this commander
ih-ehief and then on the one night
that he was in Washington dined
with Senator Lodge! And he actual
ly-that youngster!-tried to find out
what Lodge was going to do to the
President on Friday when he spoke
on the League Of Nations.
1t was funny. Every time young
Cowles thought he had led up to a
question, Senator Lodge would ask
blandly-"And you left your mother
quite well?" Then when he had
again stirred things painfully, as he
thought. his way. when did you
say you last saw your Aunt Caro-
line?"
One can imagine the merry lit
tie twinkle in the statesman's eye.

Early "GOd Speed"
The Thomas Watt Gregorys are be-
ing entertained preparatory TO their
leaving Washington In the spring or
early summer, although they have
asked most of their prospective hosts
to put off any parties until aker Mr..
Gregory,s retirement on March 4. and
are entertaining 3 bit in return. And
entertaining in honor Of the new
ly-appointed Ambassador to FPance
and Mrs. Hugh Wallace is also in
order. Nine. Hauge set the ball
rolling with the dinner which she
gave for them last Sunday and
number OF their old friends in Wash
ington have given or will give din
ners or luncheons for, them.
There's apparently nothing in the
rumor that the Wallaces are to ac-
company the President on his return
journey to Europe. They have set
no date for their departure for their
new post In fact, ii is not etiquette
for an ambassador to start for his
new post until his predecessor has
returned to this country, and no in
formation is available ss TO the plans
Of the retiring ambassador, William
G. Sharp.
1t may be remembered that an eX-
ception was made to this unwritten
law at the time Mr.. Sharp took up
his duties as ambassador to France.
This was in the early days OF the wa,
when the envoy OF the United states
had tremendously vital and delicate
matters to handle, and when, more
over, he was at the head OF an enor-
mously involved and important relief
organization. At the earnest and ex-
press desire of the new ambassador,
his predecessor, Myron T. Herricl, re-
mained in Paris until Mr.. Sharp could
take over the embassy in person and
have the beneft of his expert advice.

course sufficiently unusual TO provoke

The defeat Of Senator Weeks by

one Of the surprises Of the last cam

that il was largely the result OF an

Riding and Hunt Chase
IieIiRhffuI Affair.

Several of the incest parties of last
week-no. 1 mean the week before
took place at the very end thereof. so
that 1 couldn't squeeze a word about
them into my last Sundays letter.
One was the Riding and Hunt Clubs
paper chase, which wound up with u
hunt breakfast at the very delightful
home of Mr.. and Mrs William McCIel-
Ian Ritter.
Mrs. Sinclair Bowen and Colonel
George the hares, led the field a
hard ride across country, and I ven
ture to state there wasn't a man or
woman on the hunt who didn't get up
a splendid appetite for Mrs Ritter's
delicious luncheon.
Fully 125 guests there were for the
breakfast, club members all except
for a sprinkling Of diplomats and
foreign missionaries: and, most Of
them being in riding togs. the effect
was highly picturesque and effect
i've. There was music during the
breakfast and afterward everybody
fell to dancing. Almost all the for
eigners in town who go in for riding
were among those present. md
numbers of pretty girls. looking pret-
tier than ever in their habits.
This was on Saturday, and on tde

in compliment to George Seibel. whose

Government Preparing To Take
Over Canal.

United States District Attorney
Curley, has filed a petition before
Judge Woolley in the United States
District Court at Wilmington for
condemnation proceedings against
the Chesapeake & Delaware canal
company. AS soon as the Govern
ment takes title it will open the
canal to commerce, free of toll, then
enlarge and deepen it so that it will
accommodate large shipping.
For several months various legal
obstacles have presented themselves.
The Court has ordered rules issued
and publications made directing
those in interest to appear in Court
on March 19 and show cause why
the property should not be con-
demned and taken by the Govern
ment. This comprises all of the
holdings of the canal company for
its entire length of 1875 miles, from
Chesapeake City to Delaware City.
