is one of the ranking hostesses
In official life and shares with
the wife Of the Vice President and
the wives of members Of the
Presidents official family and the
privilege of receiving on Cabinet
Wednesdays. Moreover. she iS
closely associated with the smart.

dent society and she had long
experience OF official life before
her marriage to Speaker Gillett.
having been the wife of the late
Congressman lockwood Hoar and
a daughter-in-law Of Senator Hoar,
Of Maine. One Of Mrs. Gillett's
two daughters is now Mrs. Regi.

other. Miss Louisa Hoar. is visit

he's American charge d'affaires
in Haiti.
THE defeat Of Senator Charles
e. Townsend in Michigan Will
be keenly regretted. for the Sena-
tor is popular here and the bride
whom he brought to Washington
some two years ago has made
many friends. Mrs. Townsend y
one Of the younger women Of the
Senate contingent and a very
gracious and charming person.
Moreover, the future Gentlemen
from Michigan, Woodbridge N.
Ferris, is an unknown quantity in
this part Of the world and his
election is likely to bring about
such a readjustment of the bal.
ance of power in the Senate 40
to cause Senator Newberry to be
ousted-on the old charge Of hav-
ing spent too much money on his
election.
This would be regarded as no
thing short of a calamity from the
social point of view. for the
Newberrys are people OF
wealth, cultivation and social
savoir faire. Their friendships
in Washington date back to the
days of the Roosevelt Admin.
stration when Mr.. Newberrv
was assistant secretary and
later Secretary of the Navy.
Their children grew up In
Washington and they have
strong ties to bind them to the
Capital.
RESULTS in Wyoming We r.
gard with mixed feelings.
The reelection of Senator John B.
Kendrick meets with general ap.
proval. but there is general regret
that Congressman Frank w. Mon
dell should have gone down to
defeat in trying to wrest the toga
from him. Both the Hendricks
and the Mondells are exceedingly
popular here and both have pretty
daughters-Miss Rosa-Maye Kend-
rick and Miss Dorothy Mondell-
who are much sought after by the
young people. Sorrow at the loss
Of Senator and Mrs. Gilbert NJ.
Hitchcock Of Observation-Disclosures
was defeated by r. b. Howell-is
also augmented by the fact that
they have a charming daughter,
Miss Ruth Hitchcock. who is one
Of the most accomplished horse
women in Washington.
The Democrats are also losing
Senator Atlee Pomerene. who has
been in Washington So long that
we have come to feel a proprietary
interest in him and more particu-
larly in Mrs. Pomerene. Senator
Pomerene. however, has been
mentioned for high appointive OF.

Harding has a deep regard for his
one-time colleague in the Senate.
SO II may be that we are not to
say farewell to the Pomerenes
after all.
CENAToR GEORGE WHARTON
PEPPER and Senator David A.
Reed in Pennsylvania, and Senator
Peter Goelet Gerry in Rhode Island
may be chalked up to the credit side
Of the ledger. The return Of sena.
tor Gerry is something Of a sur.
prise, for all signs had pointed TO
the election OF former Gov. r.
Livingston Beeckman. Indeed, I
believe the Gerrys themselves had
