treasures-some few OF which also went
up TO her fathers new home, but most
OF them to her own apartment in New
York. While here she made an ADDRESS
at one OF the community centres. But
the Wilson's. and now the Marshalls
seem 10 be about the only retiring orl-
cials who are not very busy entertain
ing and being entertained.
After the Colhys probably the Bakers
and the Danielses are storm centres OF
entertaining. Both are dining out prac-
tically every night In the week. and pe.
ing chief guests at breakfasts ana
luncheons galore. Mrs. Baker is stlll
observing her Wednesday at home in
formally. and on Thursday night she
ana Secretary Baker entertained at what
win probably be their last formal am
uer party--ln honor Of Gen. Peyton -
March.
The Danielses have had really hectic
week On Monday night the House
Naval Affairs Committee gave dinner
for Secretary Daniels. On Tuesday night
Mr. and Mrs. Daniels entertained AT
dinner for the North Carolina Congress
ional delegation. They followed the din

Most OF Tuesday he and Miss Veysey
spent at Annapolis. looking things over
and being made much of by the com

their way.
1t must have been a great pleasure
for Admiral Sims to go to New York to
welcome these visitors on their arrival,
for in his recent book on THE Victory
at Sea- he gives a most engaging ac-
count of them Admiral Bayly was in
command of the joint British and Amer

Sims dwells on his splendid record and
endearing qualities. 1t seems that of his
fifty years in the British navy at that
time he had spent forty actually in sea
service. And while he was bluff old
seadog, when the Americans We're first
put under his command. he told them
plainly that they We're expected to make
good But when he found that no one
expected 1t of them more confidently
and prayerfully than they did of them
selves he became their warmest friend
and their unfailing champion in any dis
rute that might arise between them and
the British sailomen.
He always alluded to his command
as my destroyers' and my Americans.

wiser"
The Daniel party was rather prepon-

included Mrs. Hepburn and Mrs. Percy
Foote. wife of Secretary Daniels's aid
Commander Foote. However, after the
dinner the party went to the dance.
