Recently Mr.. Baker received a cable
from Buckingham palace saying that
there was a commission waiting his
| return. and he will probably go home
within a few weeks-as soon. in fact,
as he has completed some orders he
Is now working on. He hopes he'll be
asked to do the Prince OF wales, but
fears IL is another King Edward
and he has already "sculpted" that
monarch so times in one form or an
other!
Apropos OF sculptors. Mrs. Claire
Sheridan. who has been given nation
wide publicity as the woman who did
busts of Lenin and Trotzky and a brill
liant young lecturer on the Russian
situation, as she saw II, slipped into
town so quietly that the general pub
lie scarcely knew she was here until
II was time for her to leave. She
chuckled over that and said that IL
was great fun to arrive unherslded
after she had been greeted with such
fanfsres of trumpets in New York.
Moreover, she says she Is charmed
with Washington and promises to
come back in May, take a house for
six weeks and do some modelling.
while she was here this time Mrs.
Sheridan stayed at the Shoreham. but
she was only there to sleep and
breakfast, for she lunched and tead
and dined out pretty nearly every
day. Senator and Mrs. Medill McCor-
mick entertained for her, and so did
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. Countess
Gizycka had dinner party for her,
and she was a guest at the dinner at
the British embassy on Wednesday
evening.
Mrs Sheridan Is English and her
small son is the great-grandson and
namesake of Richard Brinsley Sheri-
dan. She IL, however, as well con-
nected on this side of the water as
abroad, her mother-or grandmother-
having been one of the New York Je-
romes. She took up modelling almost
by chance. Fortune favored her
when she was given an opportunity
to go into Russia, to live there for
weeks In close contact with the So
Wet officials and to do" the soviet
leaders. And now If you please, she's
q celebrity.
She's absolutely unspoiled, how
ever, despite all the adulation which
has come her way. And she's young

Carpenter have travelled all over the

negotiating for a charming little
villa overlooking Florence-I believe
II was Florence. but IL may have been
one of the other lovely and historic
Italian cities--and were preparing to
settle down there just about the time
the war ended. They discovered. how
ever that they couldn't transport
their household goods and at the time
II seemed almost impossible to get
passports for themselves.
So. finding Washington ailuring,
they came to rest here. They bought
a charming little place in Chevy
Chase and began at once cultivat.ny

most beguiling places in the vicinity

leaving us-but not for Italy In
stead they are bound for Japan, where
they will pass the next two or three
months. After that--well, I don't be-
lieve they have any definite plans, but
I do hope Washington will see them

DISCUSSING THE PROPOSED
PUBLIC WELFARE DEPARTMENT.

Announcement that President Hard
ing is seriously considering the ap-
pointment OF a woman to the Cabinet
is making these spring days rather
wearing TO his usually serene spirit.
I hear. With something over 2b,oO0,-
600 women voters anxiously watching
the situation, the President has my
sympathy, for he faces in this matter
double trouble, because. IN the first
place, a new department OF the Cow
eminent d to be created and the per-
son who is to be put at the head OF
II Ia only secondary In point OF In
terest.
The Department of Public Welfare,
now under consideration, has an espe-
cial appeal for women. who naturally
feel a deep Interest in whatever safe
guards the coming generation. For
some time the movement for Depart
ment of Education has had the sup
port Of women. II is my impression
that the suggestion for a department
In place OF the present bureau was
early made by a woman and that II
has been constantly discussed In
Western organizations that somehow
have a way OF being a bit ahead o,
the East.
The broader idea OF a Department
OF Public Welfare should be even
more popular than the more restrict
ed one limiting the new portfolio to
educational matters. But / do not
wish to discuss the new department,
except to commend the possible plan
to place a woman at Its head. There
are in this country many women who
have made a study OF all lines OF
education. Teachers. experts in eco
Monies, physicians and scientists who
understand the conservation of human
life are numerous among them. There
should be no difficulty in finding one
who will prove an efficient head for
one OF the greatest constructive
branches of government ever contem-
plated. So far, few names have been
mentioned in connection with this
high post. Mrs. Harriet Taylor Up
ton has been spoken of, but 1 have
an idea that the choice will fall upon
scme one not necessarily well known
in connection with women's work.
The time has gone by when IL was
acceptable TO appoint a woman. mere

the high honor.

MEETING THE AUTHOR OF
THE FIVE LITTLE PEPPERS,

THE FIVE LITTLE fEffRk1os
1t may seem a long jump from a
possible Madame Secretary to q set OF
chlldren's books. and yet as ] write !
am reminded Of meeting this week
Mrs. Daniel Lothrop. who long ago
won my heart through her delightful
stories about "The Five Little Pep
pers." Many a time when was q
little girl neglected my Lessons to
follow the fortunes of Polly Pepper
and her little sister Phronsle. Well.
when the Children OF the American
Revolution met last week, st the same
time that the Daughters held their
congress. Mrs. Lothrop came to pre-
side over them. There she was.
lovely gray-haired woman with, a
smile that made one understand her
sympathy with young folk and her
keen insight into Juvenile character!
And she had been moving right along
with the great procession in the
march of progress and was intensely
Interested in whatever suggested hui
man welfare.
That is why naturally thought
OF her in connection with tho new
department Of the Government. Al
though I have grown up and hass
met so many real persons here IN
Washington none Is more distinctly
remembered than Polly Pepper, and
yet I felt a bit surprised to discover
that the creator of that beloved
character belonged to this time and
not to the past.
Mrs. Lothrop made a visit to the
new Washington Little Theater to
see what sort of plays were being
produced for children and passed an
hour in fairyland with the good
Processes and the bad ones who had
come to life in the tiny playhouse In
Church street And she liked the
drama from Hans Christian Ander-
sens famous tale OF The Swine
herd and the Princess" 1T Is good
appeal to the poetic side of child
hood-that is what Is needed" she
declared. and then began to speak
of the New England that she loves,
the home of so many American poets
and authors of the past Mrs. 10th
rop will go from Washington to her
summer home In Concord. Mass., the
wayside Inn OF Nathaniel Haw-
thorne. I was glad to know that the
author who had assured so much
happiness to tens OF thousands of
children owns the bouse hallowed
by traditions Of the writer. who
gave TO the world The Scarlet Let
ter" and Moses From An OLD
Manse."
