probably viii take house. and their
friends prophesy that 1t will be one OF
the most popular OF the Cabinet homes
in its cocial aspects. Mrs. Fall is af-
fable. gracious and inclined to like
people, and there IS wealth enough In
the family to entertain lavishly.
The Fall family was greatly saddened
by the death OF the only son, Jack Fall.
and Of n daughter, Mrs. Mahlon Ever
hart. within few weeks Of each other
some two years ago. Jack Fall and his
wife lived in Washington and the daugn-
ter was married to wealthy Colorado
ranch owner. Both left children, and
their grandchildren are peculiarly dear
to Senator and Mrs. Fall. They have
two other daughters, Mrs. c. c. Chase
OF Mexico and Mrs. Elliott Brant who
was married two years ago in Three
Rivers. AS Miss Jouett Fall Mrs Brant
was we'll known and liked in Washing
ton. Mrs. Fall was Miss Emma Nor
gan daughter OF the late Josiah Nor
gan. who was the first president Of the
Western Texas Railroad.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover. wife of the next
Secretary of Commerce. is the only other
woman of the new Cabinet circle known
to Washington. AS Lou Henry she was
a cassrnate OF Herbert Hoover at Le-
and one year after their graduation she
was married to the young mining engi-
neer. Something of her character may
be grasped from the fact that one of the
literary announcements of 1912 said :
with the help OF his wife, Mr.. Hoover
translated Agricolas DE Re Metaliica,
which was the standard mining treatise
Of the Middle Ages" This translation.
published in 1914. constituted the thesis
for which Mr. and Mrs. Hoover received
award OF degrees from their alma mater.
Mrs. Hoover DisIikes Routine.
Mrs. Hoover has many friends In
Washington. although she has never been
fond of the usual routine demanded by
official society. She is most direct and
unaffected In manner and by choice
wears servceable clothes, beautifully cut
tailor mades whenever possible. When
she was In Washington during the war
she did net take much interest in gen.
eral society, which was no altogether
quiescent even during the two years of
stress. but the war workers. and notably
the girls connected with the Food Ad-
ministration. knew her we'll. She was
friend and fairy godnother to many a
homesick young woman who had come to
do her bit In one OF the departments.
She financed the Food Administration
Club, which became q haven for hun
drcds Of persons. until 1t got on Its
feet. And after Mr.. and Mrs Hoover
went to live in Chevy Chase she turned
the greater part OF the grounds OF their
place over to the girls for the cultiva-
ton Of war gardens. She used often TO
work in the gardens herself when she
was not too busy experimenting with
recipes for wheat'ess or meatess days.
It was well known that the Hoovers
practised food conservation long before
Mr.. Hoover preached It. And It Is told
that their young son. Alan. after meal
at the Food Administration. remarked
that he had greatly enjoyed It because

Treasury. In 1900 married Miss Nora
McMullen. but they separated soon after
and were divorced twelve years ago. Mr..
Melons daughter. Miss Ailsa Mellon, is
just budding into womanhood
There are several attractive women in
Mr.. Melons family--his sisters and his
cousins and HIS aunts~-who might be
called upon to chaperone his pretty
