The Secretary of Labor. Mr.. James J.
Davis. who has entered on his tenth
year as a resident of Washington, Will
TO the qualification of his many friends
and those of his family continue to re-
side here for the greater part OF the
year, in the contingency OF his electlon
as Senator from Pennsylvania. Mrs.
Davis and the children regard the city
as a second home and the older girls
and young Jimmie are at school. But
that Mr.. Davis contemplateS removing
his official residence from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia is interesting to those who
note how frequently the Senators OF
States reside in the same city.
Judge Wagner and Senator Copeland
are citizens of New York City and the
former was elected from Gotham. al
though the Empire like the Keystone
State has a tradition that the northern
portion should be represented IN the
Upper House. CALIFORNIA; two mem
bers of the Senate are from San Fran
cisco, although Senator Shortridge lives
In Meenlo Park, which is suburb
Just across the bay. Both Colorado
Senators live in Denver, both from
Minnesota are from Minneapolis, and
it is readily recalled that when the
Vice President, Charles Curtis, was in
the Senate his colleague, Arther Capper,
not only lived In the same city, Topeka,
but also on the same street. The Sec
rotary of Labor has been nominated
from the Pittsburgh home town OF the
present Senator, David A. Reed, al
though a strong tradition has hitherto
held against choosing the Keystone rep
resentatives from the same section OF
the commonwealth.
The former Assistant Secretary of
War, Mr.. Hanford MacNider, who has
been appointed Minister to Canada, has
always cherished the ambition to enter
the diplomatic service and has been in
a special way reading and studying
trade problems with this general end
in view. Being a banker, such sub
jects were always OF interest, and De-
ing a loyal son of Iowa. one of the rich
agricultural States, he has naturally
followed Canadian farming and other
affairs with a diligent eye. Mrs. Mac
Nider, who formerly was Miss Mar
garet McCauley of Mason City, came TO
Washington a bride when the Assistant
Secretary of War took over the duties
relinuuished by Mr.. Dwight Davis, who
went into the cabinet. Both of the
handsome young sons, Tom and Jack,
are Washingtonians. Mrs. MacNider
graduated from the State University of
Iowa City, and is of pronounced In
tellectual type. She has Travelled fire.
Guently in Canada, and is prepared for
extremes Of weather, something which
proved very trying to Mrs. William
Phillips, wife of the former Minister to
Ottawa, who has resigned from the for
eign service. 1t is something Of CO.
incidence that as Col. MacNider goes
to the Canadian capital the Minister
from the Dominion, Mr.. Vincent MaSsie
sws,, arfai
Massie was the first Minister and has
been serving in Washington for little
more than three years. His successor
will find one of the most stately foreign
establishments at the capital awaiting
occupancy, and one elegantly equipped,
the former home Of Mime. AxSel Wich-
field, at the time she was Mrs. Clarence
Moore.
Princess Juliana of the Netherlands
Is exhibiting as determined an oppoS1-
ton toward attending court functions
and having spouse chosen for her as
the Prince of Wales has shown since he
attained his majority. Juliana has
turned her 21st birthday, but she shows
a strong trend toward books and col
lege courses. and as she spends 10
months of the year at the University OF
Leyden naturally she appears nfre-
quently at the court functions at The
Hague. Queen Wilhelmtna Is just Is
solicitous as is Mary Of Britain, and she
is displaying the same tact and patience
toward the heir to the throne. The
burgomasters and cabinet officials dis
cuSS the question more frankly, ano
there is a movement on foot TO SEND
the young princess to visit the most i'm
portant distant possessions Of the
crown, the Dutch East Indies. She has
y1J oxIkaV,cfualxy oY1d II lie the
established custom for the heir to the
throne to be presented to loyal over
seas subjects. The journey of the pr1n-
cess Will be most tremendously ar
ranged, and there will no doubt be
many handsome eligibles IN the train
of attendants, and perhaps the long
headed burghers have something in the
back of their minds, Just as important
as is the visit to Java and those spice
islands which I'LL so many pages OF his
tory and adventure. This Studious scior
OF ROYALTY desires to write Phi. D. after
her royal name, as Queen Elizabeth Of
Belgium, can do, and she declares she
will attend the university lectures until
this ambition has been fulfilled.

birthday Of the bard opened the gran'
dramatic festival in his honor. 1t was
rainy day, and the small town, which
immortalized because of the event men
toned, is close enough TO London TO
prospective visitors to make last
moment decision to try their luck an
other day. Contrary to the announce
schedule, "Othello" was the curtain
raiser of the festival and not Hamlet.
Sir Archibald Is experiencing difficult
