WASHINGTON, D. C.. April LA woman whose husband is high in Washington official circles was de- scribing her social secretary the other day as "a luxury, to have which I would do without neces- sities." However, more than one wife of an official has been steered safely past the rocks of grave so- cial errors in the national capital by the hand of these experts. To the newcomer the social secretary is almost indispensable. Although she may have years of social know ledge gained in other cities, unless she is familiar with the rules that govern society in Washington the official wife is in for lot of grief.
 Most of them realize this and lose no time in enlisting the aid of an expert. s
 The social secretary is not reces- sarily full-time employee. One hour day or even three times a week from November until May the capitals social season--is all that many political hostesses re- quire of secretary Usually one may be pressed into service for some special occasion. At such times merely a visit to talk over matters of general importance is sufficient.

Detail ApIenty

Detail Aplenty
 Frequently secretary will take entire charge of an official dinner, looking over the list of guests to see that there are no conflicting claims to precedence; sending out invitations, keeping track of replies and seating the guests.
 The importance of having all these details attended to correct ly can hardly be overestimated. Clashes are fatal to the hostess.
 Due notice must be given a sec retary. When dinner is to be seated she, is notified several days ahead at the very least.
 We were talking to a secretary the other day who had received a ca1l from a woman just awakened to the fact that she was in need of expert assistance. She wanted the secretary immediately and seemed unable to understand when she was told that the secretary's morning hours were all taken.

Millionaire, Dead, Fights to
Keep Children From Widow

here a short time ago, ruled in favor
Of the divorced wife, and awarded
her permanent custody of the chill
dren. This decision has been ap-
pealed to the state supreme court by
the trustees Of the Newburger estate.
The Newburger divorce case broke
here in 1922, and because of the
prominence of the people involved
and the sensational nature of the
charges drew the attention of the
entire city. BY the terms of the de-
cree Newburger paid his former wife
$500 900 in cash, the largest alimony
ever awarded in Tennessee. In 1925,
he died in New York.
Later Mrs. Newburgcr married DR.
w. G. Arlington. wealthy tooth paste
manufacturer. 1t was her love affair
with him that helped to break up the
Newburger home, and the first Mrs.
Arlington also obtained a divorce and
then sued Mrs. NeWburger for
$50, 900 damages, charging alienation
Of affections.
Two years ago Mrs. Newburger di-
vorced DR.. Arlington. and since then
she has been fighting to regain GUS
today of her children.
NeWburger'S cotton firm had
branches throughout Europe.

Rupert
Favors Ball Farm

New York, May 16.-Colonel Rup-
pert, who owns the New York Yam
KEGS, thinks baseball farms are neccs-
sary if major league clubs are to pro-
tect their young players.
You can't be sure that a manager
not under your control will take care
of your rockies" he says. "A manager
is out to make a good showing and he
uses every means in his power.
When a major league club sends a
youngster to its W farm the owners
are assured the manager will develop
him and won't ruin him in the effort.

he hadn't fallen a victim of tonsillitis
and thereby been given a rest it is
doubtful whether he would be with

children and left in custody Of his
lawyers, to be given the children

In it Newburger told the children
how his detectives had Swallowed
their mother and secured proof of her
unfaithfulness. and declared that he
had bought the custody of the chill
dren like chattels from your mother

If this months performances are any

Heilmann'S year. He has Vol the
