ISOLATED as assistant editor with the
poetry magazine La France. now call
ed The New France, and her transla-
tion of Les Morts Pour La Patrie,"
that wonderful poem by Countess de
Noailles, which was published In the
magazine and which 1 chanced to
read, is beautifully done. She has an
ease and grace of writing that Is re-
mar rkable. aa' -.
While in Washington, after visit
to Great Falls, she went home and in
few moments expressed her feelings
and Impressions in most appealing
verse. Had / more confidence in my
memory 1 would love to quite the
verse, but don't dare.
MRS. HARDING DUE TO
ARRIVE IN CITY.
For the nonce Mrs. Harding, wife
OF the President-elect may also be
numbered among washington's ain
teresting visitors" She was due to
come in from Marion Saturday. Sum
day or Monday" and presumably has
arrived or is about to arrive to make
a brief stay here before going on to
New York to do some shopping and
then on down to Florida to meet Mr..
Harding at the close OF the fishing
trip upon which he and Senator
Frelinghuysen and a few chosen
spirits-all of the masculine per-
suasioR--have recently embarked
At the moment of writing l haven't
been able to discover where. Mrs.
Harding is 10 stay, but speculation
ranges from Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Beale McLean's-but, no, Mr.. Mclean
disclaims any expectation OF having
her visit them-to the Willard and
out to the pretty home of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. L. Stock-old friends of the
Hardings--at Edgemoor, Md.--this be-
ing suggested as a spot thatyis a. bit
remote, There is also "a possibility
that Mrs. Harding may gostg her own

gested, to the Vice President and Mrs
Coolidge, or to attend to. putting IL on
the market IL IL is to be sold, that
Mrs. Harding has come-or is coming
to Washington.
1t is said that Mrs. Mclean will
accompany Mrs. Harding to New York
and there is also a story floating
around. but rather elusive. to the ef-
feet that the McLeans have cottage
Hardings there little later on. The
official DOPE" however, seems to be
that Mr.. and Mrs Harding will settle
down at a hotel at st. Augustine on
the completion of the President
elects present cruise down the coast.

Another rumor that won't down is
to the effect that the McLeans expect
to give big oall on March "A sort
of private inaugural ball and pre-
sumably are counting on having the
newly inaugurated President and his
wife among their guests. l don't be-
lieye they would attend any such
function, however, since they have
regretted" for she ball to be given
that night for the lbeneft of the Child
Welfare Association on the plea that
having called off the Inauguration
festivities, they could not properly
accept. 1t may be- remembered that
the Wilsons-the President having
banned the ball--were entertained at
the theater following the Presidents
first inauguration. A double box

est thing to a function which has
taken place at the White House since
the days before the Presidents illness
when Washington was busy enteT-
tainlng for foreign missionaries.
A. pleasant party Is was, too, from
all accounts. with just touch OF
pomp and ceremony offset by the
lyraeiousness and kindliness OF the
hostess. The beautiful gold service
which dates back To the days OF the
sprightly Dolly Madison was brought
out for the occasion and In the long
corridor a section of the marine band
played, their scarlet coats striking
gorgeous' note of color and their
music making a pleasant background
for the hum of feminine voices.
EMBASSY SOCIETY WAS
WELL REPRESENTED.
The chatelaine of each embassy and
legation accredited to Washington
was present. from Nine. Jusserand,
wife of the dean OF the diplomatic
corpe, down to little Miss Schwee
BuIhag, daughter of the Minister OF
Sian; and Mrs. Colby. wife of the
SECRETARY of State, and Mrs. Norman
Davis, wife of the Acting Secretary
of state, headed the list of the dip
lomAtic corps. Mrs. Colby has been
sinsplarly privileged, for she was
naturally present when Mrs. Wilson
entertained the ladies of the Cabinet
at luncheon last week and she sat
in" again on Thursday by virtue of
her lciosei association with the diplo-
matte corps.
Mrs. Wilson seems to have divided
up the members of her family be-
tweSn the two parties, for her mother,
Mrsl william III. Boiling, and Miss
Bertha Boiling were guests at the
first luncheon and at the second Mrs.
Rolte Boiling and Mrs. Alexander
Hunter Gait were "among those
present" Like Mrs. Colby, Mrs. ]. NJ.
Helm. formerly Miss Edith Benham,
was spresent at both luncheons. During
the several years when Miss Benham
wasl Mrs. Wilson'S social secretary,
the acquaintance between the two
women ripened into q warm friend
ship and Mrs. Helm seems to be with
Mrs. Wilson almost as much as she
was in the days when she was "of-
ficially" connected with the White
House.
Although she resigned her post as
social secretary on her marriage to
the distinguished sailor who had
wooed her for SO long, no successor
has been appointed and shouldn't be
surprised IL she continued through
friendship and affection to dis
charge certain of the duties of
social secretary. or course, those
duties have not been so heavy of late
as they were before the Presidents
illness reduced the participation OF
the White House in social events to
a minimum.

MANY DINNER PARTIES
DURING PAST WEEK.

Dinner parties occupied their usual
important place in Che scheme of
things last week. one given by the
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall
last highland several for them be-
Ing perhaps the most Important. The
dance at the Chilean embassy was
small but distinctly smart. The army
dance at Raucher's on Friday night
brought together it's usual plea ant
assemblage, with "the military" pre-
dominating, and number of dinner
parties were given beforehand.
The Secretary OF War and Mrs. Ba-
ker were present at this dance. and
on Thursday night Mrs. Baker was in
the receiving line-and occasionally
on the floor. as is her wont-at the
international ball OF the Robert Il.

Confederacy.' In answer TO a guying
question as to what she, a Cleveland

musical event of the present season.
That day Mrs. Wilson had the Charge

f. Dimock and two of her brothers.
Mrs. Marshall, wife OF the Vice
President, was just over the way

gresham and Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth were present, with their
visiting lion-a British lion, the
young Marquis of Carisbrooke-and, on
the whole. the audience was one of the
most brilliant which has turned out
this year.
1t was like Mrs. Wilson to ask the
Brambillas to be her guests on an oc-
casion when their great countryman,
Arturo Toscauini, was conducting, and
1t is just such graceful little attentions
that have endeared her to the people
with whom she has been associated
since she found herself in the fierce
light which beats upon the White
House.

CHRISTMAS SEAL HISTORY

The Christmas Seal is now almost
as familiar as Christmas itself, and
it is hard to imagine time when the
seal was not in existence. But the
seal is celebrating only its fourteenth
birthday this year. Miss Emily P.
Bissell of Delaware was the origin
ator of the idea in this country. She
obtained her idea from an article by
Jacob Riis in which he described the
use Of little seal in Denmark to Sc
cure funds for hospital there. In
October. 1907, the now familiar Xmas
stickers were first placed on sale in
Delaware The idea caught on from
the first and from such a small be-
ginning has grown the tremendous
volume Of seals sold each year in ev-
cry State in the Union. It is the lit
tie seal that today practically financ-
es the whole tuberculosis campaign
in America.
The work is largely educational.
tuberculosis will be whipped finally
and fully when the public knows that
early discovery means the saving OF
life and at the same prevents the
further spread Of the disease.
The work Of education must go on
as must the work of saving lives and
preventing the spreading of the dis
ease by caring for the afflicted.
In carrying on the great work Of
education, We are working not only
to help others but to protect our
selves and our own.
Buying Christmas seals is not "giv-
ing money"-it is an investment in
health, and lives and happiness.

NEW FINANCIAL SECRETARY
OF DEVELOPMENT BUREAU

Harry SNYDER of Duluth, expert
enced finance organization worker,
has been appointed financial secretary
of the Upper Peninsula Development
Bureau, as the result Of the recent
meeting of the finance committee held
at Marquette for the purpose of de-
vising ways and means of financing
the organization for the coming year.
Mr.. Snyder will begin his duties jan
uary 1, under the supervision OF Geo.
E. Bishop, secretary-manager.
Mr.. Snyder comes to the Bureau
well recommended for similar work
in. the past. During the past four
years, particularly, he has been as
sociated with many of the leading
banks and bonding houses throughout
the middle west, as an expert sales
man Of bonds and securities.
The recent meeting at Marquette
brought out the fact that If the Bu-

there must first be devised work
