BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT.

When the First Lady of the Land
goes visiting there is always news for
the society columns and last week the
charming mistress of the White House
mingled with the public on several
occasions. From the first Congressional
honor Of the Presidents wife, the GUS
tom has obtained and there is never
more notable gathering in the Capital
at any season than this. AS a re-
minder of Mrs. Hoover's innovation in
gowns for state receptions, the portrait
of the First Lady which adornS the
program and menu was that of Mrs.
Hoover when she wore cotton. The
portrait for which she especially posed
for the Congressional women is one of
the best made of her since she came
to the White House and the treasured
souvenir has already been broadcast
through the women of Congress from
end to end of the United States.
Greater care is given the annual
breakfast than almost any event of
the club III a 12-month and the
flowers, the music, the menu, the as
semblage of charmingly dressed women
all gave an air of simple elegance
dlfflcult te achieve. Another time Mrs.
Hoover joined a great company as a
guest; she attended the concert on
Pan-American day in the Hall of the
Americas in the Pan-Union Building.
Waving all formality, she accompanied
DR.. Rowe to meet the artist, Sonora
Aida Doninelli, whose beautiful voice
and well chosen numbers brought
rounds of applause from the large COM
pany of diplomats, cabinet members
and others known in the world of
society and the realms of music who
heard her.
No former mistress of the mansion
has been more punctiliouS in recog
nlzlng other women who have presided
there, and Mrs. Taft, Mrs. Wilson and
Others have been her guests and last
week she entertained Mrs. BENJAMIN
Harrison, wife of the late President,
formerly Mrs. Mary Scott Lord Dimmick,
whom he married after leaving the
White House, Mrs Harrison accom-
panied Mrs Hoover to the -Ameri-
can concert and met many of her
former friends while here
Republican Women Of Washington
put on their great show last week when
they gave their annual breakfast in
honor OF Mrs. Hoover, and unlike the
Congressional Club breakfast made ur
almost wholly of the families of Sena.
tors and Representatives, the company
was general women coming from dis.
tant cities to be present. This week
while the Democratic women cannot
claim the wife of the Republican Presi-
dent as a guest, they will continue to
be in the public eye, having had q
continuous open house for several days
of last week in showing their loan
collection OF antiques. and today the

VET EVICTED FOR
NOT GIVING BRIBE
legion Helps Put Over
Evictions
by a War Veteranl

NEW YORK.-Marshal Joffre, a
city marshal asked $40 bride recently
from an evicted eX-serviceman to
keep the ltaer in his home another
day. When refused the mrashal put
him out.
The American Legion, of which
Jimmy Afront is director of the We'll
fare dept, was asked to take care of
veterans, but instead they put vet
Grams into more trouble by stalling
until veterans find themselves facing
eviction. The plan of the director is
as follows:
The veteran asks the landlord for
a dispossess, with which the director
promises to obtain a rent-eheek. But
when the dispossess is obtained and
brought to the legion, they turn him
away and tell him to call up the day
before the eviction is to take place.
They promise him at that time that
the eviction will not take place. But
this promise is not kept and the vet
eran is thrown out on the street
When he complains, he is thrown out
of the American Legion office and
called a red"
Jimmy Affront is also commandant
of the American Legion Post $50 and
it is one Of the rank and file mem
bers of that post who submits this
exposure.
About the Home Relief Bureau,
They are supposed to give the vet
Grams. a food ticket of $3.50 each week
