WASHINGTON, June 28.--A 20- year-old girl is to assume much re- sponsibility for the smooth ad- ministration of the new Governor General of the Philippines.
 It is said in the islands that if the hostess in the palace is socially successful, the Governor General will be politically successful.
 If this is true, Alice Davis, slim blue eyed daughter of Dwight F. Davis, is an important cog in gov ernmental diplomacy.
 Because oI the illness of Mrs. Davis, Alice is going to the islands with all of the authority of first lady" And, despite the fact she only recently was debutante, she has no misgivings concerning the tremendous responsibility she will assume in the old Spanish palace which still serves as the seat of government.
 She has been her fathers hostess l for year in Washington, where being hostess requires infinite tact and diplomacy.
 She thinks it will be fun. She hasn't any idea how big the palace is or how many servants there are, but she doesn't believe she will have any trouble.
 Alice paused long enough in her job of experimenting the packing of trunks to give her views on the subject. She was wearing black satin coole coat and blue slippers. She curled up in a big chair to discuss the situation and it was difficult to picture her in the posi- tion she is ready to take.
 Miss Josephine Shaughnessy, who has lived with the Davis family 15 years and to whom all of the children look for advice and guid- ance, stood by, smiling. She can do it," Miss Shaughnessy declared and after Alice had gone to resume packing, she continued:
 Maybe I am over enthusiastic about her, but don't think I am Alice is not bit spoiled with all 1 the good times and attention she has had. I never knew a young girl with so much poise She's quiet you understand, and many might wonder how so quiet a one could have such charm But she has it.
 Alice's great regret is that she cannot take the loyal adviser with her. Instead, her cousin, Miss Aleta Davis, of St. Louis, and one maid, will accompany her.
 Miss Shaughnessy will remain here with Mrs. Davis and the other children. Dwight, jr., p, Cynthia, IS. and Helen, 15, until Mrs Davis is able to go to the Philippines. That will probably be next Janu- ary.
 1 AS for Alice, there will be tennis and boating in the Philippines and to these she is looking forward She is athletic, like her father. The social problems she is blithely and sensibly letting go until she gets there.
