Perhaps her mother did not love her
so much. Sonia wondered. Anna
Marsh had gone on sewing just as
If nothing had happened.
Sonia took the white silk gown
from the drawer where she kept it
and put it on. The creamy lace
about her neck made her skin like
satin. Her eyes were emeralds.
Sonia, dancing in a silver gown,
she whispered, with emeralds or
her white hands. :" ...-

almost more than she could bear,
she stopped and kissed him on his

chequer. and Philip Snowden, Laborite
and former chancellor, who are poles
apart politically, joined hands IN the
House 10 agreeing that the burden OF
responsibility for the war debt Difficult
ties rests on the United States for refus,
ing to adopt a policy of all round can
collation..
Mr.. Snowden p~recipitated the debate
in the hope of helping to bring Great
Britain's recaIcitrant conti1ental credl-
tors to time, and he spared neither the
United States, France, nor Italy in the
scathlng bitter criticism for which he
has a reputation.
With ministerial responsibility assO-
cha ed with his utterances, Mr.. Churchill
restrained his statement somewhat and
on the whole was hopeful of obtaining
from Great Britain's debtors the neces-
sary $3.50, 900. 900 which this country is
now paying to TIE United States annu-
ally.
Britain's Huge Burden.
And thus the chancellor of the eX-
chequer believes the British govern
ment will be enabled to carry out the
riLciple of the Balfour note, whereby
Great Britain declared her intention of
collecting from her continental allies
only sufficient sums to pay her indebted
ness to America.
Mr.. Churchill described the undertake
ing to pay half a million dollars daily
for more than three generations of the
nation as one of the most ~stupendous
tasks and burdens ever assumed by any
country in the whole worlds history.
The chancellor declared that an ex-
traordinary situation, which would not
pass out of the minds of any RESPONSE
BILE persons either in the United States
or Europe, would exist when most of
Germany's war reparatious were drawn
from the devastated and war stricken
countries of Europe in an unbroken
stream across the Atlantic to that
wealthy, prosperous and great republic.
Later, however. Mr.. Churchill indi-
Gated that there might be SOM doubt
in his mind whether future European
generations would be paying war debts
to America. Great Britaia's recent set.
Element with Italy. he pointed out,
might be better than the pending Italian
American terms, because Great Britain
gets larger annual payments immediate

benefit only in the uncertain future.

MRS.
SENATORIAL
AT HOME
Attends Reception Given
by Mrs. Reed and Mrs.
Pepper

Although Wednesday is her own
day at home, Mrs. Dawes, wife of
the Vice President, slipped away
yesterday toward the end Of the
afternoon to attend the tea which
Mrs. George Wharton Pepper and
Mrs. David A. Reed were giving
at the Metropolitan Club Annex for
the Pennsylvania delegation to the
D. A. r. conference. She had
thought that she would not be able
to be, present, but it CHANGED that
her own callers were few, SO in
she came, to be gathered into the
receiving line with the two host
esses.
This was inevitably one Of the
most brilliant of the many parties
given for the visiting Daughters,
many smart Washingtonians being
invited to meet the ladies OF the
y. A. r., and a. good working
majority of the wives Of PennSyl-
vania Congressman were present,
many Of them assisting Mrs. Pepper
and Mrs. Reed. 1t was arranged
for late hour in the afternoon,
so that the guests of honor could
come on after the reception at the
White House.
It was really Mrs. Peppers party,
although the invitations went out in
the names of the wives Of the two
Pennsylvania Senators. She isn't

ago when Mrs. Reed was taken

ried it through with great eclat
yesterday.
Politics? Perhaps, but why not?
The opportunity presented by the
d. A. R.. conference, which, has
brought influential Pennsylvania
women from all over the State to
Washington, is obvious, and. with
hot three-cornered fight on for
the Senate, is not to be overlooked.
And Mrs. Pepper has played her
hand most successfully.
The entire State delegation has
been seething with politics
sylvania State politics and not ID.
A. r.. politics. Indeed, with coaii-
ton ticket in the field and thar
mony''. the slogan Of the Daughters,
the air has been almost totally free
from partisanship.
Among those glimpsed at the tea
Yesterday were Mrs. Harry Ransley,
wife OF Representative Ransley, Of
Philadelphia, and her daughter.
Elizabeth, who had come to town
for d. A. r. week. Miss Ransley
has been serving as a. page.

day. Senator Pepper Is "commut-
