gowns laid in for her coming debut as
first lady of Brazil, and pretty little

all eager interest.
Nine. Pessoa's gown was really q

embroidered in Jet, with here and there
midnight blue sequins and cleaning
gold threads. The girdle and a narrow
panel train were of the cloth OF gold

Just how certain distinguished visitors
should be addressed, Just what prece-
dence should be observed and just how
far above or below the salt each one

These questions, which seem en-
trely piffiing until one confronts them
suddenly, become abnormally import
ant when one realizes there really is
o way that they should be done. and
that, DOM that way. everything will
run on wen sifed ball bearings, and,
done any other way, friction, heart

1t was much the same company that
the Pessoas met at every turn, the
V!ce-President and Mrs. Marshall. the
Acting Secretary Of State and Mrs.
Polk and dozen or more of the higher
officials of the State Department, all
of the Cabinet circle who were in
Washington, the ranking members of
the Foreign Relations Committee OF
the Senate and Foreign Affairs Com
mittee of the House, with, OF course
members of the Brazilian Embassy

of the Pan-American Union, and per-

One noticed with pleasure among
the invited guests the names OF Mrs.
William H. Boiling and Miss Bertha
Boiling, Mrs. Wilson's mother and sis
ter. and one said to oneself, "Just like
Mrs. Daniels to remember them In Mrs.
Wilson's absence" Mrs. Daniels is a
most devoted daughter and sister her
self. Her mother and two sisters are
established in Washington, and with
out forcing them on people. Indeed
they are general favorites. She rare

times as she can throw their way. Mr..
Daniels, too, is a most devoted son.
