Washington, Nov. 4.-Election day.
thanksgiving, football, the visit Of
LORD and Lady Mountbatten, who will
return this week for a longer visit;
the Washington opera ball, house
hunting and house cleaning and new
clothes-they seem to be the things
foremost in society's mind right now.
~ course, election day is of great in
terest to us all here, not only to those
running for office again, but to the
rest of us who go about a bit socially
q who are wondering which candi-
oates are going to swell society's

Then, too, not until election day is
over, can we hope to get the cabinet
and their families settled down here
ana not until after that date, Noyem-
per Z, will the members Of both houses
OF congress come drifting back into
town, ready for the coming winters
work.
Secretary of State Charles Evans
hughes is back now after speaking in
Jersey City and Boston. The night
ne made his speech in Jersey City, a
light burned brightly in n of the
windows of the parsonage of the Sum
init Avenue Baptist church, the same
window in which the secretary's
mother used to hang a light every
night to guide her son and his com
panions to their homes after they had
completed their studies at Cooper
Union. MIR. Hughes father was pas
tor of the church and the family lived
IN the parsonage nearby.

courses Secretaries DENLY and Weeks
will GO: they always do. The presi-
dents going will all depend on Mrs.
Harding's health. He did not go to
the game Friday here, the Navy
PENNSYLVANIA State game, because
while she is sick he does not want to
begin to attend public functions, as it
is then so difficult to draw the line
anywhere. Mrs. Harding seems to be
doing as we'll as can be expected,
though she had a slight setback or
two. !
The diplomatic corps is going. after
all, to contribute n debutante this
season. The minister Of Norway and
Nine. Bryn will present Miss Laura
Bryn to society, but the date has not
vet been announced. One can hardly |
imagine a beyy of Washington buds
without a representative of the diplo-
matte corps.
