more popular man IN OIIlclal
life today than Homer Cum
mings, Attorney General of
the United States, and this
popularity begins at home,
so to say, for the employees
respect for him as their chief
is so intermingled with af-
fection that it's hard to find
out where one ends and the
other begins.
As a token of this, every
single one of them, from the
officials down, is planning to
give a dinner and dance in
his honor at the Willard Ho-
tel on the evening of May 10.
This is primarily to cele-
brate the Attorney Generals
birthday, which falls on April
80, but due to the fact that
the committee in charge was
not able to obtain a large
enough place until the eve
ming mentioned, the affair
had to be postponed until
that date,
Just after being appointed
a member of President Roose-
velt's Cabinet, Mr.. Cummings
was signally honored, having
a banquet given him by a
group of friends in his home
State, Connecticut, in April,
of 1882, at which were pres
ent outstanding members of
his profession and others, and
they presented him with a
dozen silver service plates,
exquisite in design and work
manship, which are centered
with the seal of the Depart
ment of Justice, with Mr..
Cummings monogram on the
border.
The popularity of this dis
tinguished member of the
Cabinet is shared by Mrs.
Cummings, whose charm, de-
licious wit and poise have
made her famous.
At the farewell tea given
by the Minister of South At
RIGA and Mrs. Close, for their
daughter, Mrs. Wilfred s.
Mann, of London, the Lega-
tion in New Hampshire Av-
enue was crowded to capa-
city, everyone anxious to bid
farewell to this very delight
full little matron, who has
been royalty feted during her
first visit to the Capital.
Her flower-like beauty was
set off with a chiffon print
in which pink and apple
green were cleverly COM
bined, and with it she wore
diamond clips and a necklace
formed of several strands of
pearls.
Mrs. Close 1Uore a hand
some afternoon goWn of
Natter blue silk lace,
mounted over satin crepe
of the same shade. A
cluster of mGuve orchids
1Uo1n high on her left
shoulder added greatly to
the effect.
Great sprays of apple
blossoms, alternating q0lth
clusters of pink carnations,
lent their beauty to the
scene, and the tea table IN
the dining room had paGny

The remarks made By
Signor Augusta Rosso, the
Italian Ambassador, at
the conclusion of the very
delightful lecture ON An

Society, 1Oere to the effect
that he 1Oas glad that the

ture had been so erceed-

The various rooms in the
Embassy, which is so beauti-
fully designed for entertain
ing, each had their compile
ment of flowers, pink roses
predominating, and the long
buffet table in the dining
room was laden with such
delicacies as creamed mush-
rooms and rice served on
toast, rum cake smothered in
fir res h Strawberries, sand
wiches, petit gateaux punch,
highballs and coffee.
The dining room, which
has a very high ceiling, and
is magnificently proper
toned, is hung with a series
of rare old paintings, allegor-
ical in character, which are
of the same size, exactly, and
lend elegance and beauty.

Indianan, Tom Marshall, who
achieved the Vice Presidency and
yearned for a good five-cent
cigar" Meredith Nicholson, this
nations new Minister to Vene-

ing. He declared:
II hope Pm not through with
it yet. 1 get a bigger kick out
of writing newspaper story
than anything l know Of"
Any time Mr.. Nicholson tires of
