The Washington times., 1923-07-24

ell things are" SO says
- Rudyard kipling, but in
the minds Of the gentlemen of
Congress, who strive so diligently
all winter for their country's
good, one thing greater than all
things is, and that is a nice long
: vacation. And surely they have
: all taken the injunction to heart,
for the Senatorial rank and file
in Washington is sorely depleted
these warm summer days. FIX
(. cept for occasional flying visits
: paid to the Capital by itinerant
solons, such as the welcome but
I brief stay of Senator George
Z Wharton Pepper, who came down
to Washington last week and
: stayed over one night at the
Shoreham and then fastened back
I to Philadelphia, one does not see
s much of our busy lawmakers
these dull months. Senator and
: Mrs. Pepper are leaving Phila-
z delphia today for Northeast Har-
{ Dor, Maine, where they will re-
: main until some time in early
September.
Another Senatorial family who
: are here for a short stay are the
8 James Watsons. Mrs. Watson
and her two sons arrived This
! morning from Washington, Pa,
. and Senator Watson, who was
/ forced to go to Newcastle, Ind,
Z on account of the death of an
intimate friend, will join his fam
fly at their home in California
street tomorrow. They will re-
main for several weeks, leaving
, by motor for Indiana the latter
part of August.
A ND there are numbers of our
- most revered lawmakers tour
! Ing Europe this season, getting
views on things continental with
which to confront their opponents
next December. Senator Hiram
johnson, who has just returned
from a tour of the old world, is
now in New York, literally burst
ing with new ideas and interesting
data. He will be the guest of
honor at large dinner tomorrow
evening at the Waldorf Astoria,
and it lis understood the affair is
to be an eventful one. Senator
and Mrs. A. A. Jones, who have
an apartment at 2400 Sixteenth
street, are remaining in town for
most of the summer. I understand
Mrs. Jones is not at all well, but
also hear that it is not serious.
Senator and Mrs. Charles A.
Culberson, who also reside at
Meridian Mansions, plan to stay
on in town indefinitely, and SEN
ator and Mrs. Oscar Underwood,
who have but recently returned
from a trip to Europe are stop
ping a short while at their at
tractive old house on G street
before going to Alabama for the
remainder of their vacation.
The Joseph Frelinghuysens are
established at their summer place
in New York, and save for
short visit now and then to their
house in Sixteenth street, they
will be among the absentees until
late in The fan. Senator T. H.
Caraway of Arkansas and Mrs.
Caraway have closed their house
and journeyed home to rest until
December, and the Arthur Cap
pers left early in the spring for
Kansas City.
Senator Frank Brandegee is re-
naming in town indefinitely and
has been host to our ambassador
to the Court of st. James, Gel.
George Harvey, while he has been
here.
SENATOR WALTER EDGE and
his bride are at their cottage
at Ventnor for the summer and
doubt If they will be returning
before late in the fall and, al
though the Peter Gerrys are sail
ing today for home after spend
ing several months abroad, they
will not be coming to the Capital
until some time in the early winter.
Mrs. Richard Townsend, who has
fingered on in town awaiting
them, will go to New York to
greet them on their arrival on
August 1.
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock is an
other one of the number who has
selected the continent as a play
ground. and with Mrs. Hitchcock
and their daughter. Miss Ruth
Hitchcock, will not return to
Washington until the winter. Sem
ator Henry Wilder Keyes is in
s.,
while Mrs. Keyes "does" Europe
and England. She has been at
tending the Woman's Conference
in Rome ard several other con-
ventions. They will return to
their apartment at 2400 Sixteenth
in the late fall.
The John 3. Hendricks are at
their home in Sheridan, Wyo.
Mrs. Kendrick is fully recovered
from her recent illness. and it is
expected that when they return
TO Washington this winter, she
will again me the charming
hostess Of old. Senator and Mrs.
Tasker l.. Oddie are now in the
Yellowstone Park on their way to
Nevada, and will not return to
Washington until Congress con-
venes. 1t is doubtful whether the
James Wadsworths will return he.
