Woodrow Wilson was President
one might have singled out the
Robert Lansings, the late Frank
lin X. Lane, then Secretary Of the
Interior. and Mrs. Lane and the
Houstons n the best representa-
tives Of this coterie.
-
MR.. LANSING, being then Sec
AA retary Of State, he and Mrs.
Lansing were naturally constantly
associated with the diplomats and
maintained the most cordial per-
sonal relations with them, rela-
tions which in many instances
have been carried on until now
despite q change Of administration.
Moreover, the Lansings had. an
society before ever they entered
public life. Mrs. Lansing's father,
the late John w. Foster. had been
Secretary Of State In his day and
had held many important diplo-
matte posts, his daughter, there
fore. having had q taste Of official
life In . dozen different capitals.
And Il was under the tutelage Of
Mr.. Foster that Robert Lansing
took up diplomacy as q career.
Al for the Lanes and the
Houstons, they were not wealthy
people and they never entertained
extravasantly. And yet they
were always in demand as din
ner guests and one met every
body worth knowing at their
houses. This was particularly
true Of the Lanes. They were
chummy with the embassy 'peo-
pie. Distinguished foreigners
seemed naturally to gravitate in
their direction the moment they
struck Warrington, and one was
always hearing from Mrs. Lane
