Washington sometimes exchanged
some amusing little notes, but there
are some in existence somewhere that
have never been published.
Washington society sincerely mourns
the death of the late United States
Minister to Canada, Mr.. Warren Del
ano Robbins. who had the happy fac
ulty of making lasting friendships
wherever he cast his lot. A charming

Delano blood-consideration for those
about them and the faculty of enjoy
ing life to the utmost.

the library on Thursday afternoon
from 2:30 to o'clock The library
is located just across the lawn from
Mr.. Morgans private residence. After
visiting the large library one is some

private library, where he usually
spends the evenings when in town.

interests of the Republican party.

say is the listed editor The first
issue has on its inside cover page a
photograph of Mr. Herbert Hoover,

Today and Tomorrow; the past speaks
for itself.

doubtless come across excellent exam

during Colonial days. Some of it had
a very beautiful underglaze Of cerulean
blue which has seldom been repro

The salt glazedware has a very
