their minds unfold and to train their charsc-
tiers. MY children 60 to the public schools. Ny
husband Is very democratic, you know. He
firmly believes that children get better training
in the public schools than in private schools.
He says that the public schools rate better
enthusiastically and keep the children up TO
standards better than private schools.
THAT is his main reason for insistence on the
public school for our children, but there is
also the lesser one that in the public schools
children learn 10 become judges of people; they
learn to discriminate between those worthy OF
friendship and those unworthy Of 1t. I was
educated in private schools but, of course. /
gave In to my husbands opinion in the matter.
GA ND now I, who probably would have sent
my children to private schools, have to
admit thst the public schools are wonderful.
Ny children come home every day to nice
hot luncheon, but it is possible for children who
would not be able TO have hot luncheon at
home to get one at school. That is fine thing
for children whose mothers are busy or working
outside the home
when I first found that my children would
be at school from S:45 in the morning until
4 or 4:30 in the afternoon I rebelled but
found that they are being taught to play
well as to study and after all, it is an excellent
thing for children to have this care so that
those mothers who are employed outside the
home or have other things they must do can feel
that their children are being taken care of and
are not left to shift for themselves"
Mrs. Hurley's own life justifies her argument
that the young married women who were the
girls of the so-called jazz age have many and
varied interests. In the ordinary course of
events in Washington she has a great deal of
official entertaining to do. But she loves to
swim-of course. an admiral's daughter would
have a weakness for the water. At her home
in Tulsa Okla, the Hurleys have a swimming
pool and all the children have learned to swim.

ton in Washington, there is flood
I'M of new figures culled from the tall
~ timbers and grasses of the out
lands. Looming larger than all
the rest are the cabinet officers, and next TO
them their wives.
Among the most colorful figures of the new
Hoover administration Col. Patrick Jay
Hurley Of Oklahoma who came to the Capital
to help run the Army. Tall, handsome, very
popular, with a brilliant war record and no
small fame as lawyer, he seemed ideal Tor
the post he has since been elevated to NIL.
But he had an additional qualification for
high Office which has peculiar weight OF its
own in WaShington-a beautiful and charming
wife To Ruth Wilson Hurley, daughter OF
Admiral and Mrs. Henry B. Wilson, Washing
ton was the happy playground of her girlhood.
She went to school, made her debut and found
her husband in the Capital. The theme songs
of social and official life belonged in the cate
CORY Of old favorites with her. Today she Is
ranked the prettiest and one OF the most
charming cabinet hostesses in Washington.
THERE Is more than the usaul charm o.
lovely woman about Ruth Hurley. She has
the rare type of Flemish beauty which some old
masters captured on their canvaSses-pale blond
hair with loose waves of natural curl and soft
brown eyes. She possesses, too, that most ex-
cellent thing in woman" sweet low pitched
how to wear those simple, unobtrusive yet ele-
giant clothes which make the beauty Of the
woman herself paramount.
She is as fascinating person to watch. No
wonder Patrick Hurley could carry her memory
with him to France and come back home bent
on seeking her out Immediately after he ar
rived in the country.
During the early days of the war, when the
young Oklahoman was stationed in Washington
he attended a riding and hunt club ball. Pat"
as he is affectionately known among his friends
was already a rising attorney who had begun
to make q national name for himself and to
accumulate by wise investments considerable
property. In pageant at that ball his eye
fell upon a slender, beautiful blond girl, debu-
tante of that season. 1t is perhaps part of his
genius that he recognized Immediately the pat
tern in which the fates were weaving the
thread of his life. He turned to one of his
fellow officers.
Some day I'll marry that GIRL" he remarked.
His friends looked at him in establishment.
DO you know who she tsp" he asked. why,
she's Admiral Henry Wilson's daughter" he
added by way of comment
Surely" answered the confident Patrick
Hurley.
OF course she knew nothing about his inten-
tions at that time. She had danced with him
a few times at various parties but he had never
called on her About that time he was ordered
