Again seized by a desire to wander,
Mr.. Leel came to America in 1904.

winters, the black factory fogs and
the abnormal human congestion; also
to see for myself what this land of
opportunity had to offer"

They May Displace the Me-
Leans as "First Friends"
Of the Presidential Fam
lily in Coming Season.
BY BETTY BANTER.


Copyright, by the San Antonio Light
Washington, ID. C., Sept. Now
that President and Mrs. Coolidge are
pretty well settled in the White
House and thinps there are running
much in their usual way, people are
asking whom We'll see often now
at the White House and whom wont
we see. Will the Edward Beale Nc
Leans be as intimate there as they
were with the late President and
Mrs. Harding, is one of the most
frequently asked questions. 1t is diff
ficult to answer. President and Mrs.
Coolidge have been entertained often
by the McLeans and they seem to
be very good friends. The main init
mates of this administration, would
say, would be the Frank W.
Stearnses, Of Boston. They are 60
ing to keep an apartment in Wash
ington all winter and divide their
time between this city and Boston.
The speaker of the House and
Mrs. Frederick Gillett were quite
intimate with President and Mrs.
1.drding, and now being good Massa-
chusetts folk are apt TO be even
stronger with this administration.
And the very popular secretary OF
war, John W. Weeks and Mrs. Weeks,
certainly will be more strongly en-
trenched at the executive mansion,
they likewise being from Massachu-
sets. Both Of the secretaries, execu-
tive and personal G. Bascom Slemp
and Edward 7. Clarke, of course,
will have entire at the White House
at all times. Slemp has been married
but is divorced and Mrs. Clarke and
Mrs. Coolidge seem to be as friendly
as Mrs. Harding and Mrs. George
Christian were, and that is saying a
lot.
Others From Massachusetts.
The under-secretary of state. Will
liam Phillips and his unusually de-
lightful wife came from Massachu-
sets. And two of our Supreme Court
justices, Justice Louis Brandeis and
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, both
come from that commonwealth and
it is a pretty safe bet that we will
see their names on more dinner lists
at the executive mansion than we
have for some time when the winter
gets well under way and President
and Mrs. Coolidge begin to entertain.
Nine. Prada, wife of the charge
d'affaires of the Peruvian legation,
has remained in town all summer.
She is another of the many American
women married TO diplomats from
other nations on duty in Washington.
| saw Nine. Prada the other day
looking extremely handsome in a
gown of sapphire blue gorgette crepe
and lace dyed TO match the crepe.
Another member Of the corps with
her was Nine. Nano. wife of Frederick
NanO,. counsellor of the Roumanian
legation. She was wearing a very
smart sport costume of white crepe
de chine with a plated skirt and
over blouse of the crepe trimmed with
narrower and wider bands of black
ribbon outlining the bottom Of the
blouse and the three quarter length,
iuil sleeves. The neck was V shaped
with roll back collar finished with a
black silk tie. A hat of black and
! white straw, mushroom shape, was

The town still is highly excited
about kidnapers. A man can't give
lost child a plate of ice cream these
times without having a mob of frantic
women tearing at his eyes. The kid
mapping scare comes rather hard on
department stores. In Difference to
the demands of mothers who have to
take their babies along on shipping
tours, many of the stores have in
stalled child checking departments.
This is all very well. unless some
body gets the wrong check.

Mannequins Desert
Paris Dressmakers

Paris.-The threatened passing of
the mannequin has become one of the
tragedies of Paris.
The gorgeous creatures who trail
majestically across the dressmaker's
showroom and demonstrate to ma
dame how wonderful she thinks she
is going to look in that high-priced
gown are becoming alarmingly scarce.
The shortage is so great that the d.
rectors of several of the leading fash
ion houses in Paris have decided to
start school to provide recruits for
their sorely depleted ranks.
The reason for the mannequin's
disappearance?
South Americans come to Paris
and marry them. North Americans
come to Paris and put them in the
movies. Scandinavians come to Paris
and 60 crazy about them. No won.
der we haven't any mannequins," ex'
planned one of the dressmakers.
"And what's the answer" echoes
one Of the few mannequins still in
the game. 'It's very simple. To be
good mannequin, you cannot be
more than twenty or weigh more than
115 pounds. You must not be toe
short nor too tall.
"Also, We live an unreal life. We
spend our days in an atmosphere Of
elegance and luxury. We get accus
toned to that, and our wages are not
enough to live up to it. Therefore
we stay in the business just long
enough to get out of it."
