He is an enthusiastic amateur photographer, a hobby dating back to pin-hole camera days. Color photography has captured his ing terest. And he has made com plete record of his children life with his own motion picture cam- era.
 Business and economies require most of his reading time, but he likes Mark Twain, especially Tom Sawyer; Julian Streets books; Roosevelt's biographies and books on travel.
 Of all the successes that stud his business his business career. the greatest, he will relate, was his safe arrival in New. York in 1901 after a eeven-day trip from Detroit in an Olds car of the han dle-bar" type. It was, the first Detroit-New York trip ever made by Automobile. The driver was compelled, practically, to rebuild the car from spare parts carried along.
 Frame bolts had to be replaced daily, the engine faltered frequent. ly and toward the end of the mo- mentous trip, the tires had to be Inflated every ten miles.
 But he reached New York to be frowned on by an elegant hotel doorman and greeted enthusiastic ally by his superiors who wisely had preceded him by train.

 In their home, the Chapins have entertained many visiting notables. No attempt Is made to maintain a social ritual. There Is no arti- ficial atmosphere. Interesting peo- pie seek out the Chapins because they themselves are interesting. Mrs Chapin still has the buoyancy and charm of youth, and the rarest of all social graces-complete simpli- city.
 As she goes to the capital and it's round of brilliant social events. no one will gather from her man. ner that she lays claim to social prestige.
 She is spontaneous. sympathetic, responsive and well poised. She Is tremendously busy, but always has time for a worthy enterprise.
 Chapin, 52, whose life's job has been one of selling, now becomes general of that vast army selling American goods in all corners of the world. His rise has been as- sociated closely with the growth of the automotive industry.

 petroit.-President Hoover's lat- est appointment to his cabinet brings to official washington a man of typical American family back ground and rich in contact with leaders in the world of business.
 When Roy D. Chapin emerged from the presidents office with ap- pointment to the post of secretary of commerce in his pocket, the first thing he did was wire the news to Mrs Chapin.
 She was at home, waiting to hear from him; first to know of the honor accorded him and hrst with congratulations.
 The incident was typical of the relationship that exists between them and typical of the character of both.
 Tn his office as chairman of the board of the Hudson Motor Car company at Detroit, Chapin Is as proud to show g. business acquaint- ance a new snapshot of his chil- dren-he has six of them-as to dieplay for the first time litho- graph of next years deluxe sedan.
 And in the IS years of their married life, though Mrs Chapin has been a devoted and attentive mother to their children, she still has had time-taken time-to be the most intimate and most sym pathetic counsellor to her husband.
 She and Roy, Jr, IT. with a group of intimate friends, were at the station when the new secre- tary of commerce came home. There was no reception committee, no bands; but a neighborly, cor dial welcome.
 The Chapins will regret leaving their magnificent home at Crosse Point Farms, exclusive Detroit suburb. It Is. Georgian palace that stands far back from the lake shore road, overlooking the blue waters of Lake St Clair.
 Their home was styled after the great plantation homes of Georgia where Mrs Chapin was born and reared She lived in Savannah and has innumerable friends and rel ativcs there. Frequently the Cha pins go to Savannah for long visit. It is almost another home for all of them.
 Mrs Chapin is not clubwoman. She is a member of very few com mittees and very few move mcnts.'' Her whole life centers around her home, her husband and her family. But within the circle of her very animated existence, there are many exceptional people and many noteworthy events.
 Her group includes such names us Mrs Edsel Ford and Mrs Ford's
