The Washington times., 1925-01-21

XII INTERESTING VlS1COfS are
Washington long suit and
- this week-to follow the
bridge smile to its logical conclu-
sion-the Capital has at least four
honors in one hand. Richard Wash
burn Child, sometime ambassador
to Italy, now a guest at the White
House; Alexander z. Moore, present
ambassador to Spain, now at the
ShorehaAn; former Senator and Mrs.
William NJ. Calder, back for fort
nights visit with their old friends,
Mrs. Joseph Irwin France, wife of
the former Senator from Maryland
why, the list assumes rather
startling proportions.
Then the. Conference on the
Cause and Cure of War, in which
nine important national women 9
organizations are taking part and
over which Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait is presiding, has brought to
town a grist of women who are
well-known in national life, either
as delegates to the congress or as
observers on the side lines.
There's Miss Mary Garrett Hay,
Of New York, of course, for Mrs.
Gait never stirs without her. And
both Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wife of
the Governor of Pennsylvania, ard
Mrs. Franklin d. Roosevelt, Of
New York, are here as delegates
from the Women's Trade Union
League.
Mrs. Roosevelt SPEAKS Out"
Mrs. Pinchot ''Seen Not Heard"
Mrs. Roosevelt has arisen on a
few occasions to express her
opinions in the meetings. AS yet
ont
loud-but it is very evident when
red hair and vivid personality make
her rather magnet for the eyes.
She is very daring, too, in her
choice OF colors in clothes. Last
night, for instance, she came in late
wearing a semi-evening wrap Of
rich cranberry shade Of velvet un-
der which was a velvet gown Of the
same shade. Around the neck Of
the gown, however, there was a.
wide yoke Of white. which kept the
red from coming too close to her
flaming hair.
The guest of Governor Pinchot's
aunt, Mrs. Charles Boughton Wood,
Mrs. Pinchot managed to be present
for a little while on Monday after
noon when Mrs. Wood was at home.
But for the most part she has de-
voted herself strictly to her knit
knitting per-
haps for diversion an informal lunch
con at the Penguins' Club, haunt or
those radical writer's and pubnclsts
who used to foregather at the
Women's Party headquarters until
It was moved to Capitol Hill, too far
from the center Of town to be very
convenient.
Being an exceedingly busy wo-
man. Mrs. Pinchot has engagements
in Harrisburg and expected to pull
out today, promising either to re-
turn before the close Of the con-
ference on Saturday or to send an
alternate.
Mrs. Roosevelt, whose friendships
here date from her husbands
period of service as Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy, has also been
TOO much occupied with conference
duties to have much time for social
engagements, but the Democratic
women's Club has managed to
capture her for tomorrow after
noon and win give tea in her
honor.
The Franklin Roosevelts are, of
course, of the Democratic branch
OF the IaGQllys anu 1SOOSCFG1b,
who made her debut in politics
when her husband was running for
Vice President, was his right-hand
man last year when he managed
Governor Smiths campaign.

Mrs. Blain who is a delegate to
the conference from the Missouri

staying at her old stamping ground,
the National Women's Democratic
Club, but hopes that she would re-
main here to resume her work with
