CHIEF
MOVING TO
WOODLEY'
Vans Are Bringing Fur
nishings From New
York Home

moving vans are plying
between Washington and
New York this week loaded
with house furnishings for
The Secretary of State and
Mrs. Stimson.
For .Woodley, the historic
estate purchased some time
ago, by. the Secretary, is
being made ready for occu-
pancy. And Mrs. Stimson is
at the Wardman Park Hotel
to supervise the arrange
ments.
Short Stay
She has spent little time in
Washington since her husband
was made head of the State
Department, as she has been
recuperating from an illness
contracted in the Philippines.
Also because Of this it is prob
able that the Stimsons will not
undertake a strenuous social
life.
Should they accept all of the
Invitations showered upon the
Secretary Of State and his wife
they would perhaps only have
breakfast together. However,
no official holding this position
has ever attempted to be so
gracious.
Reciprocate
Then, of course. there must be
reciprocation in this hospitality
90 lavishly offered.
Undoubtedly Secretary and Mrs.
Etimson will follow the practice
6f their predecessors and decide
upon some definite ruling regard
ing the acceptance Of invitations.
