tary Of War and also at Secretary
and Mrs. Wilbur's new home in "
street-a very charming house
which bears something Of an inn
print of the personality Of its for
mer mistress, Mrs. Hamilton
Wright. At the home of the Sec
rotary of Commerce and Mrs. Hoov-
er, where all the officials of the
department and their wives were
helping out, everybody was COM
menting on the lovely centerpiece
of fruit which they always affect.
Many people journeyed out 70
Wardman Park Hotel to call on the
Secretary of Labor and Mrs. Davis.
The new Attorney General and
Mrs. Stone were having their first
official reception and had pressed
their son, Lawson Stone, into the
receiving line with them Senator
and Mrs. Arthur Capper showed up
there, with Mrs. John Allan
Dougherty making the rounds with
them; and there, too, we ran into
E. A. Hartman, fresh from Chief
Justice Taft's; former Senator and
Mrs. Marion Butler, and pretty
Margaret Pou, with her fiance,
Carleton E. Moran.
Mrs. Charles Dewey and Mrs.
Eliot Wadsworth were presiding
over Miss Melons lovely tea table,
with Mrs. Mackenzie Moss and Miss
Alice Sylvester helping out. 1t was
there that we met Madame
Grouitch. wife of the former Minis
ter Of the Serbs, Croats and Slove-
mes, quite recovered from her recent
indisposition and calling with Mrs.
Walter Tuckerman, Mrs. Truxton
Beale-she turned up later at the
Gilletts-Doctor and Mrs. Walcott,
Miss Alice Hartman and Miss
Lacey, Miss Patten, the Hampson
Garys-but why go on. Mr.. MELONS
callers were Wing to be polite
but they couldn't resist an oppor-
tunity to look at his wonderful
PICTURES and one almost expected
to find some Of them peering into
catalogues.
General and Mrs. George Barnett,
first greeted at the Melons went
on to the Speakers house. Mrs.
Gillett looked very charming and
showed no signs of having begun
her day with a visit to the White
House. attended two breakfasts-
Secretary and Mrs. Hughes and
Charles Henry Buffers Montsweag
Breakfast-and having stood from
o'clock-after having been at the
Edward Beale McLean's ball until
the small hours of the night before!
1t was rather astonishing how
many people went both to the diplo-
matte breakfast and Mr.. Buffers
picturesque party-the Gilletts, for
example; the British Ambassador
and Lady Howard, the Attorney
General and Mrs. Stone-but it
isn't of record whether or not Trey
consumed two meals. Everybody
was talking in the afternoon-and
is talking stilI-about the Mclean
ball. 1t is generally described as
the loveliest they have ever given
and everybody seemed to enjoy re-
failing the story of how It lasted
until o'clock in the morning and
Mrs. Mclean, who was starting for
Florida next morning, went direct
to the train in her ball gown.

Hoover Employees
Faint From Heat
In Offices, He Says

Reiterating The hope that the
Department sS Commerce may
soon be housed in n Government
owned building large enough TO in
clude all the expanded activities of
the department, Secretary Hoover
declared today that the time lost
from their work in the Summer
time by employees of the depart
ment in temporary buildings be-
cause of stopping of work in heat
ed periods If translated into money
wVlld more than pay the interest
OF a new building.
Employees of the Census Bureau
and other divisions of the Com
merce Department, Mr. Hoover.
said, are frequently excused from
work for several hours a day dur
ing warm weather, and in some
cases work not more than a few
hours day. Those employed in
the -pasteboard" buildings. he
added, are exposed to such heat
that many of the women faint at
their work
Mr.. Hoover said there is a press
ing need for enlarged facilities to
house the enlarged activities of the
department. He said he had not
talked recently with Senator Smoot
regarding the proposed $3.50, 900, 900
Government building program, but
hoped the Commerce Department
would benefit under the proposal.
