In Executive Group
Mrs. James Roosevelt I'd in
olive green with brown facingS,
sat next, and at her right in the
order named were Miss Nancy
Cook, Miss Marion Dickerman,
Mrs. Malvina Schneider, and
Mrs. James M. Helm, the latter
two, members Of Mrs. Roose-
Velt'S Secretariat.
Miss Cook wore a severely
tailored black coat suit with a
white shirtwaist, the cuffs held
with gold links; and Miss Dick
erman was in kings blue, with
. hat of q darker shade.
Mrs. Hull, wife of the Secre.
tary Of State, sat in the second
row with Mrs. Cummings, wife
Of the Attorney General, who
was accompanied by Mrs.
Thomas j. Walsh, widow of the
onetime Senator from Montana.
Mrs. Hull was in a very deep
wine-color dress with a scarf of
the palest green silk swathed
about her neck in a becoming
way, and her small velvet hat
was trimmed with a gold cord.
Mrs. Cummings wore a modish
black gown with a small toque
Of burnt-orange velvet, and Mrs.
Walsh was in a brown ensemble
which was very smart.
Mrs. Morgenthau, wife of the
Secretary of the Treasury, was
in a mulberry gown and coat
trimmed with beige fox, with a
velvet beret to match.
Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dali
sat across the aisle with her lit
tie daughter, who wore a bright
red sweater with a turtle neck
and a blue killed skirt. Mrs.
Dali, who appears to have a
great fondnesS for red, wore a
scarlet gown topped with a
monks cape of mink, and her
little velvet hat has a touch of
red in the front. Beside her
was Mrs. Vincent Astor, of New
York, who was in blue, a very
becoming shade to her, for she
is very blond.
Mrs. IckeS, wife Of the Secre-
tary Of the Interior, and Mrs.
Swanson, the Navy Secretary'S
wife, were seated close by, and
both were in black. Mrs. Roper
was in the Cabinet group, and
she chose a garnet colored gown
and hat which were very smart.
Diplomats Present
In the diplomatic gallery, ad-
Joining that occupied by the
Presidents official family, I
glimpsed the Ambassador of Po-
land, Mr.. Patek, who came muf.
fled in a fur-lined coat with a
fur collar. Next to him was
Sonora de Espil, wife of the Ar
Gentine Ambassador, and Mrs.
Sumner Welles, wife of the AS
Sistant Secretary of State. Mrs.
Welles' sable coat was magnifi-
cent, and she wore it through
out the speech. A bit of green
showed on her hat.
The Ambassador of France
and Nine. de Laboulaye, the
German Ambassador, Herr
Luther, who sat we'll forward
during the speech with his hand
cupping his ear "the better to
hear" what the President had
to say, and Ambassador Calde-
ron, Of Spain, were among those
present, as were the Ministers
Of Denmark, Sweden and Siam,
the Minister of the Irish Free
State and Mrs. MacWhite, the
Minister of Portugal and Nine.
de Bianchi, the Minister of the
Union of South Africa and Mrs.
Close. and the Minister of Egypt,
with the First Secretary, Nicolas
Khalil Bey. Nearly all of the
ladies in the diplomatic gallery
wore black, with rich furs, and
without exception their hats
were small.
Wife Of Speaker There
The wife of the new Speaker
was in a front row seat in the
gallery, accompanied by her
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Joseph w.
Byrns, jr. Both wore very mod
1sh ensembles with beautiful bou-
QuetS Of mauve orchids.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was a
few rows away, and very lovely
she looked in black, with the
vest of her gown formed Of
emerald green silk. Metal clips
trimmed her rather large hat.
