ed the packing OF her own particular
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 to be about the only retiring oii-
cials who are not very busy entertain
ing and being entertained.
After the Colbys probably the Bakers
and the Danielses are storm centres OF
entertaining. Both are dining out prac-
tically every night in the week. and be-
ing chief guests at breakfasts and
luncheons galore. Mrs. Baker is still
observing her Wednesday at home m
formally, and on Thursday night she
and Secretary Baker entertained at what
will probably be their last formal din
ner party-in honor of Gen. Peyton u
March
The Danielses have had a 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
ner by a big reception for the North
Carolina Society in Washington On
Wednesday Mrs Daniels attended the
luncheon of the Society Of Naval Spon-
sors, which was having its annual meet
ing at the Willard and of which Mrs.
Daniels is vice-president.
Entertained Admiral BayIy.
Wednesday night Secretary and Mrs.
Daniels gave what is probably their last
official dinner for a visiting naval celeb
rity, when they entertained in honor of
Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly. r. n, who
spent two or three days in Washington,
along with his niece. Miss Violet Vey-
sey, as guests of Capt and Mrs. Arthur
Hepburn. Admiral Bayly was delayed
in his arrival, and the Hepburns were
obliged to call off the dinner they had
tanned in his honor for Monday night.
Most of Tuesday he and Miss Veysey
spent at Annapolis looking things over
and being made much of by the COM
mandant And Thursday they went on
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
lean force of destroyers operated In the
| Irish Sea during the war, with head
quarters at Queenstown. and Admiral
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 a bluff old
! seadog.> when the Americans were first
| put under his command. he told them
plainly that they were 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 mis- command
as my destroyers' and my Americans.
and woe to any one who attempted to
interfere with them or do them injus-
tice Relations between the
young Americans and the experienced
Admiral became SO close that they would
sometimes go to him with their personal
| troubles; he became not only their COM
'nander but their confidant and ad-
wiser"
The Daniel party was rather prepon-
deratingly masculine. although in addi-
ton to Mrs Daniels and Miss Voysey, 1t
| 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,
which the Assistant Secretary of the
Navy and Mrs. Gordon Woodbury. gave
