Roosevelt Nomination
Intercsted Capital.

OF course, the nomination of Frank
lin Roosevelt for the Vice Presidency
comes a little closer home to Wash
ington than the Cox nomination. For
the Roosevelts have been part OF
Washington's official society for the
last seven years and more. Mr..
Roosevelt was appointed Assistant
Secretary of the Navy within one
month of President Wilson's inauGu-
ration in March, 1918. and got on the
job very promptly. In fact they had

WEEK MARKED ny SEVERAL
PLEASANT PARTIES.

Although last week set no record
for gaycty. there were a number OF
pleasant parties on the calendar. The
Secretary of War and Mrs. Baker
were the honor guests at perhaps the
most interesting dinner of the weck-
one given by Brig. Gen. and Mrs. T.
Q. Donaldson at the Chevy Chase
club on Wednesday evening. Mrs.
Joseph Hampson also had dinner
that cvening-Wcdne dnesday-entertain
ing for Miss Frances Hampson and
Ensign Wilson Hampson. and Capt.
Stuart Cramer gave dinner at the
club one evening later in the week.
The Secretary of War also shared
honors with Mrs. Baker at tho garden
tea given for her by the Girl Scouts
OF the District. at their picturesque
Willow Tree Tea House in Potomac
Park. An ancient and honorable
horse car. treated to coat of white
and green paint and wreathed in
vines, served as a kitchenctte and
from this appetizing daintics are
served. the patrons being seated at
SMALL rustic tables under the trees.
Great Japanese lanterns strung from
the branches of the trees lend a fur
ther enchanting touch after nightfall.
and the teahouse, which is open both
afternoon and evening, is proving
tremendously popular innovation.
There is no drive in the cnvirons of
Washington so popular as the swing
round the point in Potimac Park. and,
as 1t is becoming quite the thing,
to stop ones motor under the willows

delicious ice cream, the Girl Scouts

Mrs. Cox Younger
Than Her Hush and.

1t seems the Coxes lost their first
child, a little son named for his ma
ternal grandfather. Thomas" but
they have a baby daughter born last
November. Mrs. Cox is of course, a
whole lot younger than her husband
'In fact, my dear, I shouldn't think
she was any older than his daughter
Helen" But checking up on that
surmise, proved that Helen-now Mrs.
Daniel Mahoney--is probably about
five years her handsome young step
mothers junior--although the fact
remains that If Cox should be elected,
Mrs. Cox will be about the youngest
mistress-with the possible excep-
tion Of Mrs. Grover Clcveland-the

ding, n year and a half ago--to Lieu
tenant Felfowes-Gordon, of the Brit
ish war mission-and gave the bride
away. and the next day sailed for
the other side on an important Of
fetal mission.
Mrs. Roosevelt is one of those wom-
on who. while she is absolutely at
case in the frillest of social frills--
she was born to them-yet finds them
rather unimportant in her scheme Of
|life. She has her husband. and her
home. and her fivc children. tho eldest
a schoolgirl daughter with several
years to go before she gets even into
the sub-deb class, and she has her
own circle of warm personal friends.
She is-well. as one of her friends put

She was up to her eyes in war work

Mrs Roosevelt is essentially a homo
