, see represent US abroad. Small,
chic, with snowy hair beautifully
arranged and radiantly youthful
face, she has the look of a
Fragonard court lady and she is
grande dame to her finger tips.
Mr.. Beck is tremendously popular
in England. A fluent and per-
suasive speaker, and a man Of what
has been called ''winsome APP
on his several visits to the
British Isles on legal or semi-of-
fetal missions, and I've heard it
said that there was good deal of
pro-Beck propaganda among the
Britishers before Ambassador KEEL
logg was appointed. Perhaps that's
why. Mr.. Kellogg got the coveted
post.
At all events this time it will go
to Alanson B. Houghton at present
now representing us in Germany.
This appointment will leave the
post at Berlin open and may start
a general game of pussy-wants-a-
corner among our representatives
at foreign capitals. It may, on the
other hand, provide a convenient
berth in Germany for Senator
Medill Mccormick, who is known
to have the ambassadorial bee
buzzing in his bonnet and who will
be in the lame duck flock after
March 4. Limitless possibilities OF
speculation thus open up-and a
topic is provided for endless dinner
table conversation.
Merit System" Followed
In Making Appointments.
Mr. Houghton goes to London,
however, on the strength OF his
really notable work in Berlin-an
exacting and possibly a not very
congeniaI post. Meritorious service
in England-and, OF course, IA
miliarity with the European situa
tion-would seem aGso to have been
at the back of Mr.. Kellogg's pro-
motion. Nobody seems to have
wanted him very much-except pos
sibly President Coolidge-and it
can't be described as a. strong ap-
pointment from the point OF view
Of political expediency. Socially.
however, the Kelloggs will be
right welcome. They are well
known and well liked here from
the period of Mr.. Kellogg's service
as in the Senate and Mrs. Kellogg
is a person of distinction and charm.
She used to- entertain a good deal
and very delightfully."- and the KEEL
Ioggs, house was one OF the places
at which the late President Harding
was most frequently to be found
when he was Senator Harding and
to which he used occasionally to
slip away even after he was in the
White House.
ThereIl be general regret at the
loss of Secretary and Mrs. Hughes.
The metamorphosis of the austere
Mr.. Hughes into the genial Mr..
Hughes after he became Secretary
of State has been widely commented
upon. and he has certainly made
many friends in the role. AS for
Mrs. Hughes, in a quiet, gentle sort
of a. way. she has been a most in
fluential parsonage in society and,
although never very fond Of public
life, has filled the rather arduous
role of Cabinet hostess with grace.
