Several of the newly elected Senators
are old friends. For instance, Mr.. Frank
Willis of Ohio. who is to replace Senator
Harding. has been here before as a
Representative In Congress- And Mr..
William Mckinley of Illinois, who re-
places Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman

fused TO run for another term. because
of i'll healthy has been in the House for
years. Mr.. Mckinley is a bachelor. He
has lived for years In house in Seven
teenth street, Just UP from the Army
and Navy Club.
1t seems rather a pity that Senator
Gore Is not 10 return. He and Mrs. Gore
and their attractive young daughter. al
most of debutante age, will probably not
be in Washington after next March.
Airs. Gore Is one of the popular Sena-
toriai hostesses, and Miss Nina Gore
has grown up here from n slender dark
eyed child. II is too bad that having
spent most of her short life in Washing
ton she should not make her debut here.

Mr. Thetus Sims, who has been in the
House nearly twenty-five years as a
Representative from Tennessee. lost out
in the primaries, and one assumes that
his family will be eliminated and II
surely will be missed. His three
daughters. the eldest Mrs. Louis
Brownlow and the two younger ones,
the Missed Marie and Enid Sims, have
all been popular IN Washington, where
they practically grew up. Miss Marie.
after serving officially in n secretarial
post during the war, went abroad last
summer. and Immediately on her re

back home in Tennessee. Probably she

but with Miss Gcnovieve married and

New York is sending 20 Washington
two or three new Representatives who
should be- social assets, and returning
one or two former Representa- tives, who

Congress set. For instance. Mr.. Ham

present Congress, as he ran not only
for the next Congress but for the re-
