Stewards Washington Letter
BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON--As Secretary
of State j. Butler Wright is the man
who keeps tab for President Coolidge
on the congratulatory messages it's
considered polite for the latter to
send 10 the heads of other govern
ments. Messages are called for by
birthdays, national anniversaries and
like joyful occasions which fall on
fixed dates, so that they can be
forCseen with certainty
Yes, they can re foresecn with
certainty if one has ever heard of
them. Their number is tremendous
and very few OF them ar4 of the
slightest Importance except in the
various countries in which, despec-
lively, they are peculiar.
Who can tell, off-hand on what
day, in what month and year Bolivia
declared her independence or the date
of President Masaryk's birthday!
Well, Butler Wright doesn't try to

keeps a list of days." arranged
chronologically, each opposite it's ap-
propriate date, with a few words
descriptive of what it's all about, so
that the congratulations can be
felicitous1y worded
Day by day he glances at this
calendar and tips off the president,
after which (this on the q. t) he
writes his congratulations for him.
Since the White House drafted
Charles L. Cooke. who formerly was
the state departments Officer in
charge of ceremonies" Wright has
been the departments specialist on
questions of international etiquet in
general.
For instance, he always is on hand
to meet and greet visiting foreign
notables when they arrive in Wash
ington.
He does this kind of thing well.
He knows what to say and do. He
understands how to meet social
emergency. He's imposing. He
takes naturally to silk hat, a frock
