JEAN ELIOT ON SOCIETY
Charge d'AnaireS
In Mexico Well
KnO1vn Here.
BY JEAN EIInT

/" HE news that George r.
summerlin has presentsd
Il his credentials as American
charge d'affaires to Maxico
focuses attention upon a do
nestle diplomat" who is well
known and liked in Washington.
1t was as Captain Sumn1erltn"
that we first became acquainted
with him, for he is a West Point
graduate. and did not resign from
the army to enter the Diplomatic
service until some time, subse-
quent to his marriage to Miss
Virginia Loonis, q very charm
ing Washington girl.
It is said that It was at his wife's
solicitation that he took UP q dip
lomatic career; and, If memory
serves, she accompanied him to
Tokyo, which was one OF his
earliest posts. Later, however,
they came to the parting OF the
ways and some years later Mrs.
Sun1merlin was married to DR.. J.
Elatr Spencer, OF Washington.
They are now living near Phila-
delphia, DR.. Spencer having an
important and lucrative position
as physician with the city govern
meTt.
Or. and Mrs. Spencer are oc.
casional visitors in Washington
as guests Of Brig. Gen. and Mrs.
. John A. Johnston--the latter Mrs.
Spencer's mother. The Johnstons
have hospitable home in Massa-
chusetts avenue and entertain
delightfully."-. Indeed the New
Year Day reception, ct which the
army contingent is always nu.
merously represented. is almost
as much Of an institution in
Washington az the diplomatic
breakfast or the Cabinet .'at
homes"
MIR. SUMMERLIN has been on
AVA duty in Mexico City for a
long time and had charge OF the
embassy during the parlous days
when its status was more or less
unofficial. He presented his Gre
dentia1s yesterday at the Mexican
foreign office at the moment
when Don Manuel c. Teller was
being received by William Phil
lips, Acting Secretary Of State, to
present his credentials as Mexi.
can diplomatic representative to
the United States.
Doubtless President Coolidge
viii give audience to Senior Tel
lez before long, but the call will
be in the nature Of social visit
since the President receives no
credentials from q foreign charge
daffaires. An ambassador or
minister calls first upon the Sec
rotary Of State, but presents his
credentials In person to the Pres
ident Of the United States. In
the case OF charge d'affaires,
however, the documents are Off
cially received by the Secretary
Of State, or in the case Of his
absence, by the acting secretary.
