by Mrs. Harding and ran:
My Dear Mrs. Coolidge:
After the luncheon with the La
dies of the Senate last Tuesday II
occurred to me that perhaps they
would be willing to cooperate In
lessening the stress of social duties
in tho coming season. Owing to the
presence in Washington of the
members Of the conference. there
doubtless will be Unusual demands,
and would be very glad II you
would present this suggestion at
the business meeting. which
heard you say would be tomorrow.
Briefly It IL this: There are so
few wives Of the members of the
Cabinet who win be in Washington
this winter that the duties devolvins
upon them will be particularly
strenuous, and It occurred to mo
that II the ladies of the Senate
would agree to receive with me
some afternoon in the near future.
when the ladies' of the Cabinet
might come to make their calls at

IN inviting the ladies Of the
Cabinet and the wives Of men,
bers of the House Of Representa-
tives to have tea with her at the
White House, on Wednesday. Mrs.
Harding took a second step toward
lessening the stress Of social duties
in the present crowded season. And.
moreover. through her kindly and
gracious offices. she provided the
women of two important branches
of the government with an oppor-
tunity to meet and know each
other thus early in the season.
The plant has long been heard
among tho women in official lie
that. since Warrington has become
10 large. the moro perfunctory
social duties arc becoming
burden. And Mrs. Harding 10 do
ing everything in her power to
tighten this burden and to promote
fellowship and understanding
among the feminine members OF
the official world.
Her first move was to invite the
ladies of the Senate circle to re-
ceive with her one October day. ana
to present to them the wives Of
Cabinet members. Then followed
tho tea last week at which the Cab
met ladies were auxiliary hostesses.
and the ladies of the House were
presented to them.
All this 10 in the nature OF an
innovation, and consequently It has
created some discussion. Most OF
tho women in official life, however.
arc heartily in accord with what
the, First Lady il trying to do. and
II there are dissenting voices IT il
possibly because her purpose 10
not clearly understood.
THE invitation from the White
House. which WIS received By
the wives Of members Of Congress.
perhaps explains Mrs. Harding's
fesling better than It could Be ex-
planned in any other way. Signed
b. her social secretary. the notes
read:

sons Send Flowers to
Mrs. Harding

THE gorgeous chrysanthemums
which blossomed out all over
the White House for the dinner and
reception which the President and
Mrs. Harding gave last week in
honor Of the conference delegates
have been talked about all over
Washington this week. Everyone
who was privileged to attend the
reception seems to agree that they
were far and away the most strik-
Ing feature of the decorations
excepting only the nine great siiken
flags of the powers represented At
the parley. held by nine stawart
marines lined up at attention in the
Red Corridor.

In fact. were sent to Mrs. Harding
for the occasion by Mr.. and Mrs.
William Boyce Thompson. It seems
that the Thompsons' chrysan-
themums grown in the conserva-
tories of Alder. their estate ut
Yonkers. are famous and that they
have taken most Of the prizes in
tho New York chrysanthemum
shows for several years.
THE Thompsons arc here, a. you
doubtless know, for the dura-
ton Of the armamsnts conference,
Mr.. Thompson being q member Of
the advisory committee. They are
temporarily at wardman Park
Hotel. but unless the conference u
shorter than everybody expects. It
IL on the cards that they VIII take

Admiral Baron Kato
Called "Ad" by Frivo-
lous Yankee Scribe
HoPELEssLY entansled in an
endless maze Of vowels and
consonants and unfamiliar combi.
nations Of both. Warrington is
struggling with the pronunciation
Of the names of several hundred
foreigners arriving for the arms
conference.
Take, for example, Baron Kato.
In the first place there are two
"Katos." Admiral Baron Tomosa-
bura Kato is the head of the Japa-
nese delegation and minister Of the
japanese navy. Vice Admiral H.
Kato accompanies the delegation az
its chief naval adviser and il no
blood relation at all to Baron Kato.
In the second place one must
always give the name. both of them.
the broad vowel sound. "Kato"-
yas in skate"-is term Of appro-
brium in the Japanese language and
1t wouldn't do to call anyone. much
less a baron and vice admiral Of the
fleet.
'Tell all. all Americans. not to
call his excellency Cato" I'm
plored an attache of the delegation
of newsgatherer.
And speaking Of Baron Kato re-
minds one Of q story circulating
regarding the admiral. 1t seems
the Japanese delegation had been
warned before coming to the United
States that the Yankees were per-
sons of no dignity and not to take
offense at anything they did or
said. The delegates hardened and
have smilingly sailed through stu
atoms that must have sorely
offended their Oriental idea Of the
dignity Of men and things. The
story goes that the worthy baron
was being entertained by a group.
they do say Of newspaper men. and
as the party waxed gayer and
gayer one scribe grew moro and
more friendly with his excellency.
From Admiral he rose to "Ad,"
and finally from "Kato" and Kat"
he SCARED to tho heights Of famil-
arity and addressed the baron N
'Krasy Kat!
Probably this story has waxed
better and. better in the telling.
but I believe 1t may be true that
in their desire to be good fellows
from the American point of view
some Of the foreigners arc putting
up with things that Americans
wouldn't tolerate.
A QUESTION Of title rather than
name seems to be tho difficulty
with the Rt. Hon. Arthur James
Balfour. The majority Of Ameri-
cans seem to refuse to believe that
90 important . parsonage ~ Mr..
Balfour could BE- . plain mister"
and insist upon bestowing upon him
every title from that Of knight to
earl. Lord" Balfour seems to be
the popular conception on the part
Of most writer's Of the proper dig
nifty for the British delegation's
chief.
A moe point Of distinction In the
title Of Lord Lee Of Fareham also has
escaped practically the entire press.
There being two Lord Less Of Fare
ham in Great Britain, the correct
way Of referring to tho conference
delegate II ~ tho Lord Leo Of Fare
ham. The "the" In the mark Of dis
tincticn that places him In his
proper place. The other one Is
merely Lord Lee Of FAreham.
