Mrs. Weeks, however, has been in agile
health for two years, and her daughter,
Mrs. John Washington Davidge, has fire.

Mrs. Weeks have. attended All Souls

the questionable section at Fourteenth

fashionable environment on Sixteenth
street, near the big embassy and lega-
ton settlement.
Wife of Attorney General.
Mrs. Charles Beecher Warren, wife
of the Attorney General, has been
welcomed back to old scenes and
finds many friends in the immediate
circle to which she now belongs The
Secretary OF Commerce and Mrs.
Hoover were near neighbofs of Mr..
and Mrs. Warren during the Attor-
ney Generals service under Gen.
Crowder during the World War. Like
Mrs. Kellogg, Mrs. Warren has ex-
perience in formal court life to aid
in her present tasks. for her husband
served for two years in TOXIC and
before that was on special duty in
Mexico City.
There are three sons in the Warren
family, the oldest, John Buell. War
rem. a freshman at Yale; Robert, who
Is in the Taft Preparatory School and
will soon go to Princeton, and Charles
Beecher, jr., just 10 years old, and
who will no doubt go to the Cathe-
dral School for Boys, in Woodley
lane, which his elder brothers attend
ed during their former Washington
residence
Mrs. New a Writer.
Mrs. Harry Stewart New. wife of
the Postmaster General, is a wei
known figure in the official world, an.
from 1923 was a member of the
senatorial circle. She Joined her
present colleagues in the boudoir
cabinet on March 5, 1923, when Presi-
dent Harding appointed the retiring
Senator from Indiana Postmaster
General, and when DR.. Hubert Work,
who succeeded Will H. Hays, was
transferred to the Interior Depart
ment.
Mrs. New is a native of ST. Cath
crime, in Ontario, and was before her
marriage Miss Catherine Mclean. She
was educated at well known con-
vent near Niagara, Canada, but after
ward studied art and letters in New
York. She had definitely decided on
a literary vcareer, and had already
one successful novel, "The Woman
Reigns," to her credit when she mar
ried Mr.. New, an editor and news
paper publisher of Indianapolis. Since
the marriage Mrs. New has submerg ed
her ambition in aiding her husband.
The Postmaster General and Mrs.
New have, during their Washington

everything her sweetheart did, even
metallurgy and principles Of mining
engineering After graduation they
married, and one of the first genuine
successes of the aspiring mining en-
gineer was that he and Mrs. Hoover
jointly translated "Agricola de re
Metallica," one of the standard Latin
works on this valuable science, which
all students had to consult, but which
before that time had not appeared in
English. Leland Stanford and other
institutions purchased the English
text book, and its popularity made
the first comfortable sum of money
which Mr.. Hoover accumulated to-
ward the vast projects he had in
mind.
Both the sons OF the Secretary and
Mrs. Hoover, Herbert, jr., and Allen,
have used in Leland Stanford, which
both attend, this text book, which is
the corner stone of the family for
tune.
Youngest Matron I'm the Group.
Mrs. James John Davis, wife of the
Secretary of Labor. is at the end of
the list of cabinet hostesses, and
quito appropriately, she is the young
est matron in the group. Momentous
occurrences have happened in the
four years since she entered the ex-
allied circle, principally the birth of
that lovely little maid Jean, now in
her second year. There are two
other children--Jimmie, who is 10, and
accompanied his parents in the Sum
mer of 1928 to Europe and visited
the old home of his father in Wales,
and Jane, who is 6. Jean, who is
called for her mother, who was Miss
Jean Rodenbaugh of Pittsburgh, was
an infant when she came to Wash
ington first. Mrs. Davis has a spon-
taneous, joyous manner, and Is among
the best liked members of the off,
cial set. She lives in Wardman Park
Hotel. She attends to all her home
duties easily and then has time for
the social frivols with which she is
surrounded in the big hostelry. The
Secretary Of Labor and Mrs. Davis
are the last of the cabinet left at
Wardman's, which in the early days
of the Harding administration housed
one-half OF the presidential coun-
cilors.

and G streets.
Mrs. Hoover Is Charming Hostess.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover, wife of the
Secretary of Commerce, was well
known in Washington prior to her
husbands acceptance of a cabinet
post under President Harding. But
she has been viewed at closer range
during the past four years, and with
complete satisfaction to the thou
sands who have been welcomed to
her home. AS head of the Girl
Scouts, Mrs. Hoover has been asso-
ciated with many with whom a cab
met officials wife is not generally
on such chummy terms. She has also
feted the most exalted of strangers
within the gate, and has been ex-
ceptionally energetic In dispensing
all routine hospitalities. The beau
tiful home Of the Hoovers, near that
of the late President Wilson and of
the Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft, has
become one OF the best known resi-
dences in Washington. Mrs. Hoover
has, during the past season, given a
practical lesson in interior decoration
and proved that rooms may be placed
in gala attire without mourning
enormous bills with the florists. She
has used dried leaves, berries and
colorful vegetables with tremendous
effect on her dining table and in the
spaces usually occupied by cut flow
ers in corridors and drawing rooms.
Representative of Iowa.
The Secretary of Commerce and his
wife are natives of Iowa, and both
were born in small country towns,
the first in West Branch and Mrs.
Hoover in Waterloo. But IL was re-
served by fate for them to meet on
the campus at Leland Stanford Uni
versity, near San Francisco. Mr..
Hoover came of struggling parents,
and he went West to secure an edu-
cation and to advance his fortune.
He made a wise choice, for he met
Miss Lou Henry almost his first day
at college. This young lady had gone
to California with her parents be-
cause the hard, cold Winters of Iowa
were disastrous for her delicate
young sister Jean. The Henrys, who
were what is termed well-to-do, set
tied first at Monterey, and then moved
to San Francisco for educational pur-
poses. There is no question that Miss
Henry and young Hoover settled their
future very early in their acQuain-
tance, for the young lady studied

Miss MeIlon's succesx.
Miss Ailsa Mellon, daughter of the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
official hostess in his home, has en-
tered her fifth year in that role. She
was very young and inexperienced
when her father accepted his onerous
post. under President Harding. Nat
urally she shrank from such seem
ingly prosaic duties and from a con-
stant intercourse with elderly women.
But Miss Mellon has long ago dis
carded that theory and she appears
to enjoy her part, and she fills II
with grace and considerable success.
She enjoys twofold advantage in
being a cabinet hostess and also the
handsome and accomplished young
daughter of so important a presiden-
tial councillor as the Secretary OF the
Treasury. This dignitary has special
obligations and gives many formal
dinners. AT first Miss Mellon, panic
stricken, would fly off to Pittsburgh
and the wife of a cabinet colleague
would act as Mr.. Melons hostess.
Miss Mellon now presides over her
fathers board with charming grace
duties which fall to every cabinet
hostess.
The daughter of the Secretary of
the Treasury possesses many accom-
plishments and is in demand in anna
teur theatricaIs, in solo dances and
on the athletic field. With her
brother Paul. now preparing for COL
lege, Miss Mellon was educated en-
tirely by private teachers at home.
CyN- i
less than II in her fathers splendid
home, Oak Ridge, Pittsburgh. She
came to Washington before she was
quite Is. She is tall. slender and
fair and wearing her favorite fabric,
cloth of gold, she has the air of a
medieval maid, which is enhanced by
the great white wolf hound which
sometimes appears at her side in the
drawing room.
Miss Alice Sylvester, who has been
for four years Miss Melons COM
panion and chaperone, has made her
own little niche in these years in
Mellon household.
Army Social Circles.
Mrs. John Wingate Weeks, like Miss
Mellon, has filled her place in the cab
met coterie since March, 1921. Before
she became the wife of the Secretary of
War she had lived in Washington for
many years, first as the wife Of mem
Der of Congress and then as that of a
Senator from Massachusetts. Her role is
an arduous one. for she has all obliga-
tions toward general society that other
cabinet hostesses have and special ones
in relation to the large Army contingent
resident here.
The Weeks home on Sixteenth street
has been the scene Of much hospitality,

Wears Little JewcIry.
She wears little or no jewelry, pre-
fering that of the costume type, that
IS, to correspond with the dress
worn, and at the receptions during
the season just passed she wore no
ornaments unless she pinned on her
bodice the little emblem of the Ma
tion worked out in diamonds, sap
phres and rubies. Sometimes one
sees her wearing a bead chain such
as the wounded veterans at one of
the local hospitals make and she has
baskets, purses and other articles
from this same source.

HOUSE OF SORROW
TO become School
Residence Of Former millionaire
Is Selected

MillersTlle. IND, Dec. II Up--
Joy and grief have followed each
other through the luxurious oor-
rldors OF Laurel Hall. once the
.palatial country seat of stoughton A.
Fletcher, Indianapolis capitalist,
which soon is to become a school
for girls.
The pretentioue home and 220
acres Of the estate have been pur-
chased by the Sisters OF Providence,
! q Catholic order. who will convert
Il into an academy.
Fletcher. once one OF the wealth
lest men in Indiana, built the
home and laid out the estate In 1916
at cost of more than $4,000 900.
For several years 1t was the scene
OF many social functions.
In 1921 Mrs. Fletcher. because o,
Ill health, took her life in Laurel
Hall. Her mother died the same
night either from drinking acct
dentally of the same draught which
killed her daughter, or purposely
from grief when che found her
daughters body.
Three years later, Fletcher became
bankrupt, through poor invest
ments and speculation. and Laurel
Hall passed to his creditors.
At one time Fletcher had q pre-
'tentlous stable of thoroughbred
horses, and among the animals was
Peter the Great" famous trotter
for which the banker paid $4,000.

was so well received that there now
are about 100 in use, Usually the
sunday House" consists OF one or
two small rooms on the ground floor
and the same number on a second
floor.
Although furnished comfortably,
few OF them contain cooking utensils.
The owners bring enough food 10
last them from Saturday until Mon
day morning, thus giving the women
freedom from cooking and saving
the expense OF stocking two kitchens.
Fredericksburg. with a popula-
ton OF 1000, is unincorporated and
the owners OF Sunday Houses have
only to pay county and state tax
rates on their establishments.
These homes have had a marked
influence for good on the social and
community life Of the country, &C.

tary Of the Chamber OF Commerce.
