bassador to Cuba; Undersecre'
tary Of State William Phillips,
Chief Of Protocol James G..
Dunn and Stanley K. Hornbeck,
chief Of Far Eastern affairs,
were at the last sunset concert
Of the National Symphony Or
cheStra.
Five beautiful white-suited,
Pa n q m a-hatted, permanent,
summer bachelors, they obvi-
ouSly enjoyed the concert ire
mendously, and stood clapping
for more music long after
Guest Conductor CAM had
given a third encore.
It would seem to be evident
that even gentlemen Of Con-
greSs and gentlemen Of the
press cannot decide which is
better eating-Maine lobster or
Nebraska beef, unless they
have had second helpings OF
both.
Therefore, Senator E. r.
Burke who gave that lobster
party not long ago, is about to
complete his gaStronomic cycle.
In other words, the junior Sena-
to from Nebraska is having a
Nebraska beef dinner tonight.
Such gourmetS as Vice PreSi-
dent Garner, Attorney General
Cummings, Assistant Secretary
Of the Interior Charles West,
Senator George w. Norris,
Senator Joseph F. Guffey, Mr..
Joseph P. Tumulty and some
so other Distinguished Citizens
will devour the evenings menu
not too sedately.
The food will include Ne
braSka beef, Nebraska corn on
the cob, au gratin potatoes and
French onions doreign influ-
ence has probably reached the
prairies) and Nebraska corn

mentS."
There will be no speeches.
Just the CHEEKY sound of MUNICH
ing. It is the intention of Sen
ator Burke to have the food
rushed in so fast that not even
the Congressman and journalists
present will have time to ex-
press themSelVeS-in words.
At the end of the feast, when
the plates in the garden Of the
Brooke Tea House where the
party will be given are cleaner
than the Spratt family'S plat
tiers, a vote will be taken.
els beef better than lObster?"
The judges of the vote will be
the strong men who ate two
Holsters at Senator Burke's pre-
viouS dinner.
The age of a woman-when
she was twenty-five she looked
eighteen.
When she was thirty, she
looked twenty-three.
When she was forty, she
looked thirty-five.
When she was forty-Six-she
looked forty-six.
The outbursts of Messrs. Hit
Ter and MuSSolini do not disturb
me. But haven't the courage
to withstand the British.
The hauteur, the if-you-don't.
1ike-iti t 's-your-own-bad-luck
manner and tone of British
names, especially of British ad-
dresses, set me to koWtoWing.
I've never admitted this weak
ness until recently I studied the
catalogues of Swiss schools.
I've been reading and rereading
the curriculums.
Their offerings Of French his
tory, dresSmaking and cutting,
mathematics and German, their
pictures of girls skiing at St.
Moritz, climbing Mont Blanc
and swimming in Lake Geneva,
have left me uncertain about
the advantage of any one
school.
That is I haven't been i'm
pressed until I reached one
catalogue with several dozen Of
the most beautiful references
from the tiles Britanniques."
None Of the referees means
anything to me personally.
But their names are so ire
mendouS. I do think my daugh-
ter should go to a school rec
ON m e n d d by Lieutenant
Colonel and Mrs. AinSworth,
who have the courage to live
at "Pakoy, Bognor, Regis, SuS-
SEX"
The child of Mrs. Graham of
THE Firs, Hazlemere, High wy.
combe, Bucks" would surely be
a good influence for my family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Paget of "Itchen
A b b eS, Winchester, Hants"
would select only q correct
school. The word of Vice Ad-
m1ral and Mrs. Astley-Rushton
Of "Webans, Wadhurst, Sussex"
may not be questioned by me.
When I go to look at the
schools, in person, I shall try to
be strong and make a practical
choice. I fear, however, that
my craven American mind is
practically made up now. Had
I been able to withstand the in.
1!uence Of the good residences"
already mentioned, I still
should have to cope with the
example Of Mrs. r. Dugdale, of
