strenuously TO care not at all for society,
he is genial guest when surrounded by
friends.
The Attorney General and Mrs.
Mitchell brought into their official home
in Washington an atmosphere OF West
ern hospitality, which, combined with
official staidness, gives Washington its
happiest social balance. In announcing
today the engagement Of their niece,
Miss Gertrude Bancroft, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Churchill Bancroft,
OF st. Paul, to Mr.. Hubert Brian Holland
Of Philadelphia, they followed the same
transformations plan carried out in all
Of their life in Washington and tabooed
the usual method of commercializing the
announcement through press-agent
methods. Miss Bancroft has spent the
Winter in Washington with the At
torney General and Mrs. Mitchell and
has made many friends here. She
served as social secretary to her aunt
and yet found time for much social
diversion.
On the interesting social roster for
the future days Of Lent and beyond, is
Pan American day, April IA, which will
be national holiday in IA of the Latin
American republics, and will be cele-
brated in Washington in fitting Pan
American manner. The custom in our
sister republics to the south is to have
patriotic celebrations through the day
and gala performance of opera in the
evening. The Governing Board Of the
Pan American Union will be host to
President Hoover at 1890 O'Clock when
his address will be broadcast in this
country and those central and southern
republics of this hemisphere. Follow
ing the address Of the President, the
Ambassador of Cuba will give short
talk TO college students ON the "Es-

The close Of the Seventy first Con-

gave dinner for them, which showed
the futility Of such a proceeding. There
was a nearly all-night session and
some Of the Secretary's guests just
