Washington, ID. c., Nov. 10. !,


r N inviting the ladies' Of the Cabinet
and the wives Of members of the
= House Of Representatives to have
tea with her at the White House on
Wednesday, Mrs. Harding took sec
ond step toward lessening the stress OF
social duties In the present crowded
season. And. moreover, through her
kindly and gracious offices, she pro-
vided the women of two important
branches Of the Government with an
opportunity to meet and know each
other thus early In the season.
The plant has long been heard
among the women in official life that,
since Washington has become SO large,
becoming burden. And Mrs. Harding
is doing everything in her power to
tighten this burden and to promote
fellowship and understanding among
tho feminine members Of the official
world.
Her drst move was to invite the ladies
OF the Senate circle to receive with her
one October day and to present to them
the wives OF the Cabinet members. Then
Followed the tea this week at which the
Cabinet ladies were auxiliary hostesses
and the ladies Of the House were pre-
sented to them.
All this Is in the nature Of an innova-
tfon and consequently 1t has created
some discussion. Most Of the women in
official life are heartily in accord with
what the First Lady is trying to do and,
If there are dissenting voices, It is pos
sibly because her purpose is not clearly
understood.
The invitation from the White House,
which was received by the wives of
members Of Congress, perhaps explains
Mrs. Harding's feeling better than 1t
could be explained in any other way.
Signed by her social secretary. the notes
read:
Realizing how many more demands
will be made upon the time of the ladies
In official life because OF the number
Of strangers who will be brought to
Washington by the Conference on the
Limitation of Armament. Mrs. Harding
has thought It would be a pity for the
greater part Of the season to pass with
out the ladies Of the Congress and Cabi-
net having an opportunity to meet and
know each other.
The mere exchanging Of cards means
SO little without the personal contact,
so, having all this in mind. Mrs. Harding
is asking the ladies Of the Cabinet and
the House OF Representatives to have
tea with her. when the friendly greet
ing may serve all the purposes Of the
more formal call.
Mrs. Harding hopes to have the
pleasure Of seeing you on Wednesday,
November 16. at o'clock"
In response to this invitation pretty
nearly the entire group Of Representa-
ttves' wives, several hundred strong,
called at the White House. were greeted
by the First Lady and presented by
her to the women OF her official family.

to be clothed In quite different ways;
one looked as II she were wearing
merely a skirt, another was draped to
her shoulders, and so on. Yet when
the light was changed all three were
found to be clad In modern gowns, the
only difference between them being
the colors of their costumes. It's
merely an application Of the knowl-
edge Of how light affects color"

Work Of an Earthquake.

An earthquake that shook India not
so long ago was remarkable for the
curiously distorting effects It pro-
duced upon standing objects. Similar
effects have been noticed from other
earthquakes, but seldom to so striking
an extent. In an official report In the
matter 1t Is described how this earth

JuoqIers Amused Monarehs.

In the Sixteenth century the king of
England had his own private juggler,
just as he had his whipping boy" and
his jester. The kings Juggler In the
time of Henry VIII. which was the
first half Of the Sixteenth rentury, got
six shlllngs and oightpence a year for
his efforts to amuse the king and his
court, the same as the kings bear

James l, half century after Henry
VIII. there was famous juggler In
London who combined tlght-rope walk
ing with jugglery. He performed on
a rope stretched between the steeple
Of st. Giles' church and the Cross.
Shnkespeare's plays contain several
references to Juggling, which show
that he was familiar with the tricks
Of the performers.

and commercial enterprise of the Par
sees are proverbial In the East, and
their credit as merchants Is almost

the race has dwindled down to $4,000,
and for some time there has been q
serious difference among the Parsees
on the question Of proselytism. A

took the necessary steps to adopt the
religion of her husband. But. II was
decreed by the high court of India
that, though the creed Of Zoroaster
theoretically admitted proselytes,
their admission was not consistent
with the practice of the Parsees In
India.

Alien Property

ing quietly with the unraveling of
numerous claims until the old Aus
trian property Is In such shape that
he can see daylight, and he anticl-
pates little trouble from that source
between now and the time congress
acts.
Congress will have to pass on the
disposition of less than half the
Austro- Hungarian holdings, or prop
erty valued at S1S,000,000 out of
total of $4O,OOO,0OO seized when war
was declared. When congress amend
ed the trading with the enemy act
1t provided that the possessions of
citizens of CZechoslovakia and Po-
land and subjects of the new Jugo-
Slav nation and the section of old
Hungary added to Rumania might
be returned, and settlement of the
claims of these people is proceeding
rapidly. Mr.. Miller announced that
possessions valued at more than
$9,000.000 already had been handed
back to the owners.
OF the remaining approximately
S30,0OO,OOO Mr.. Miller estimated that
about $12,0OO,OOO subsequently will go
to nationals of the three new Euro
pean states or nationals of the new
section of Rumania. This will leave
approximately $1S,0OO.OOO tied up in
trust until congress authorizes the
President, through the alien property
custodian and the Department of JUS
tice, to return 1t or dispose of 1t other
wise.
In discussing the Austrian and Hun
garian property seized In this country,
very few pointed out that 1t included
very few estates of any size-in fact,
only one, the Gladys Vanderbilt estate,
valued at S4OOO,OOO, which was re-
turned after congress provided that
the property Of American women mar
ried to alien enemies prior to April 9,
1917, which was taken over during the
war, might be handed back. Count
Szechenyi, who married Gladys Van,

garian ambassador to the United
States when the treaty ratifications
are exchanged.
