ably gowned--she looked very we'll In a
blue street dress and large black hat
she came up smiling. In the main WASH
ington has respected her desire to be let
alone. reaIizing that she really has a
great deal to do. She. however, has
dined with close friends occasionally.
Mrs. Cox, on the other hand, has been
on the go ever since she arrived here
last Monday. She and one-time Gov.
Cox are guests of the Ansberrys while
they are here at their home out on
reception for them on Monday after
noon.
On Tuesday they went up to the
Capitol and listened for a while to the
debates up there. Naturally they at
tracted a good <fcal OF attention, and
friends flocked around to give them
greeting and to help Mrs. Ansberry tell
Mrs. Cox--to whom it was not so old
story--all about il. They had lunch
con up there--a jolly party, with Mrs
Borah. wife of perfectly good aggrcs-
sive and progressive Republican, play
ing hostess. In fact. while undoubtedly
the presence Of the former Governor and
Mrs. Cox in Washington was an oppor-
tunity for conference of the powers of
Democracy not to be overlooked. there
was no politics in the welcome extended
to Mrs. Cox
On Tuesday evening the Secretary of
Agriculture and Mrs. Meredith enter
tanned at dinner for Mr.. and Mrs. Cox.
and on Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Cox
divided her time between Mrs. Colby.
Mrs. Meredith and Mrs. Marshall.
Ii there was political pow-wow it
must have been at the buffet luncheon
which the Attorney General gave for Mr..
hy, Ia hiiff
which half a hundred prominent Demo-
Gratis were hidden. Mrs. Palmer re-
ceved the guests with Mrs. Cox. Mrs.
Ansberry and Mrs. Atlee Pomerene-a
trio of Ohio Democrats. On Friday Mrs.
Joseph Davis had luncheon for Mrs.
Cox, and in the evening Mr.. Cox was
entertained at dinner by n group of
newspaper men who had gone through
the campaign with him.
The Coxes themselves say they are not
here on political errand but to see
about getting passports preliminary to
going abroad. They came to stay a fort
night, as understand 1t. and it wouldn't
be in the least surprising of Mrs. Cox
were among those present at the Con-
gressional Clubs annual breakfast. Also
i" is quite within the possibilities that
Mrs. Harding may be there. and with
Mrs. Wilson also a guest it would be
rather interesting to see those three at
the breakfast together.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall to Sail.
The Coxes. by the way, are not the
only prominent Democrats who are going
abroad. The President and Mrs.
Marshall are planning to go-but not
Until about the middle OF May--the en-
cuse for the trip being a Big Masonic
convention which Mr.. Marshall wishes
to attend. They will leave Washington
slmost Immediately after March A. hav-
irg their reservations made for the fol-
lowing Sunday. But Mr.. Marshall has
Undertaken lecture tour and can't go
abroad until that Is over. Meanwhile
they are almost submerged with invita-
tions. Mrs. Marshall was at home on
Wednesday as usual, but for the last
time. Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall, however.
Fave dinner and luncheon engagement
every day up to February ., after which
Trey are accepting none. Moreover, Mrs
Marshall is greatly interested in the
plans for an inaugural charity ball for
the benefit of child welfare work on the
evening of March 4.
Tho ball Is going to be the biggest pos
sible success; there Is no question about
that Everybody is taking hold with a
will. They are. OF course, disappointed
that the Hardnss seem to feel that hav.
ing turned down a regular inaugural bah
J, wouldn't do for them TO attend that.
Mrs. Marshall had quite counted on Mrs
Harding-hnowing how interested she
was in child welfare work But she
says quite frankly that she doesn't be-
heve the Hardings are to be persuaded.
You know Mrs. Harding and / arc
pretty good friends. and asked her per-
sonally and she seemed to feel that they
could not. While l don't see Il that
way. there is nothing more to be said II
hey do"
You know" slre continued. we're out
Tor the Vice-President and Mrs. Coolidge
now. The idea Is that each of the out
going Cabinet women shall entertain her
successor" which Is certainly a nice,
friendly arrangement
