that the Supreme Court so adores
the White House that it hates to
leave after a party there.
Not until about is minutes past
official going home time had
elapsed which anybody knows is
equal to two hours of anybody's
time - did the Justices and
their wives decide to leave the
dinner given Wednesday by the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt.
When the last measures Of the
musicale had ended and Miss
JesSica Dragonette and Madame
Novaes had been escorted out in
state on the arms of gold-braided
Aides, the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt took their usual places
at the East Room door prepared
to bid their guests good night.
Protocol being what it is, no one
might go until the Supreme Court
had bowed its formal way out.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt
stood quietly and looked pleas
antly expectant.
Attorney General Cummings
and Mrs. Cummings, Secretary
1ckes (pink checked and very
CHEEKY after his Southern trip
stood waiting for their official
betters to pass.
At last Chief Justice and Mrs.
Hughes came majeStically by. And
received two warm handShakes.
Then followed a wait OF about
five minutes.
The head of the Department OF
Justice stepped forward. So did
the Secretary of Interior. They
also stepped backward.
Immediately Mr.. Justice and
Mrs. Stone appeared to be ready
to leave. So did Mr.. Justice
CardozC.

While the members OF the
Cabinet and various non-ranklng
guests waited, these two minority
reporters on the AAA decision

Justice and Mrs. Roberts de-
parted. Mr.. and Mrs. Justice
Sutherland and Mr.. and Mrs
Justice Butler were at the other
end of the room in converse
tional group.
Mr.. cummings and Mr.. 1ckes
looked at each other. Then as
Mrs. Cummings smiled encourag'
ingly, they said brisk good night
When most of the other must
Gale guests had departed, Justice
Sutherland and Justice Butler and
their wives were still in the East
Room.
They are probably remaining for
the weekend.
Jonkheer van der Wyck, Meth
erlandS Legation secretary, tells
me that members of foreign EN-
bassies and legations though in
official mourning, never decline
invitations to the White House.
If the President of the United
States. as the highest officer In
the country, makes any sugges'
ton to a foreign diplomat-come
to a party or take your papers and
60 home-the diplomat must obey.
The same situation is true OF
Americans in foreign capitals.
GOings- On in the Capital
And the lady said, looking up
at the tall hero, "Oh, Captain.
always saJ that our country can dc
without the Army and the Navy
But never, never can it do without
the Marine Corps!"
Secretary of Interior Ickes says
that his Chevy Chase house is SC
cold in zero weather that the
water in the hot-water pipes
freezes. PWA pipes, doubtless.
Representative Caroline O'DaJ
