WIFE OF SWANSON
IS GLOBE TRAVELLER
Journeys Include Far Places.
Keeps Up to the Minute
on Current Events.

Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, q veritable
globe trotter. won't have to join the
Navy to see the world. But hers is the
rowing spirit to SAVIOR fully all the ro-
nance that her husbands post will
bring to her from far places.
The wife Of the new Secretary Of the
Navy has lived in Toxic, has seen Rome
Stockholm. Quebec, Paris. She knows
her New York and her Hollywood She
has voyaged into the Arctic as far as
the ice barriers. Last year she spent
six months at Geneva, Switzerland
where her husband was delegate to the
Disarmament Conference.
Back to earliest Virginia her lineage
dates. She is directly descended from
Capt. John West. Governor Of Virginia
from 1635-36, and younger brother Of
Thomas West, Lord Delaware, first Vir-
ginia Governor.
As Miss Lulu Lyons Of Richmond she
was married first to Cunningham Hall
Of Richmond, and by that marriage
had one son, Douglas. her close COM
panion In 10 years Of widowhood.
Talks Politics Logically.
In October, 1923, she was married to
Senator Swanson, q widower, whose
first wife had been her sister Her son,
the Senator's nephew, Is one of his Sec
retaries, and served in that capacity on
the Geneva trip
At those large, colorful Washington
dinners where epauletS and titles clus-
ter thickly, Mrs. Swanson may be
found. vivaciously, and in the inimitable
Virginia manner, centering conversa-
ton.
Politics she talks, clearly, directly.
logically. frankly. Opposition brings
from her q word-crusade in behalf OF
her own opinions, so strong as to make
many converts. She is proud of being
AN unreconstructed Democrat" Her
views do not mirror those of anybody
else. not even her husband, for whose
opinions she has the highest respect
F1rst-hand observation from the Sen
ate galleries, a close reading Of the
newspapers. and regular attendance at
current event lectures keep her up
to-the-instant.
Cast First Vote for Smith.
Yet she has chung tenaciously to the
Virginia tradition Of q womanhood that
may occupy the social foreground. but
remains in the political background.
She did not favor suffrage. She did
not exercise that right until she felt
it imperative, casting her first vote
for Al Smith. She never addresses
public audience.
An exuberant vitality carries her
triumphantly through busy days Of
charity and club board meetings and
social engagements She Is vice presi-
dent Of the Child Welfare Society and
Of the National Womans Country
Club
City living prevents her from fol-
lowing her favorite occupation-garden-
ing.
Once mistress Of q show place in the
suburbs of Richmond, she still loves to
talk OF how she raised flowers, vegeta-
bles, chickens. cats and dogs-all on
three acres-and had a beautiful front
lawn to spare.
OF her r street residence she says
regretfully, wistfully, Not q square
foot Of back yard!"

and lectures of the season Saturday
afternoon at the Washington Club. The
artists were Nine. Amelia CONT harp
ist; Abilio Martins. violinist. and Alberto
Martins, cellist, and the subject matter
of the lecture. delivered by Prof. Rata
of Georgetown University, was Ben
benuto Cellini and the Italian Renais-
sance."
Introductory remarks were made by
Dr. Joaquin Coutino. who spoke of the
changes that have taken place in the
patronage of music. which has been
shifted from the support of princes and
plutocrats to that OF the general public.
and that it is the audience OF today
which makes an artists public career
secure.
Prof Rata brought out clearly in his
lecture the causes that led up to the
Renaissance, what was the Renaissance
and why Cellini was chosen from among
the many fine artists of that period as
the ideal type of the spirit of that age.
He finished by linking the beginnings
of the Renaissance to our present-day
situation and pointed out how the world
Is ready for new artistic development.
The violin- cello-harp trio opened the
program with Nina" by Pergolesi. and
finished with the Largo" by Haendel
The uniformity of tone Of this combi-
nation Of instruments IS exceptionally
fine and they played with sorority and
rich interpretative feeling. A large
audience followed with attention and
applauded heartily. A. E.
