who are so beset.
A unanimous guess as a Stu
preme Court possibility is Robert
H. Jackson, Assistant to Attorney
General Cummings. Mr.. jackson
is young, only A years old, a lib
eral and a brilliant lawyer. He
has rushed up the steps Of promo
ton in the Department OF Justice
since he came there from the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission.
He's round and rather small,
has a high forehead and the look
of a scholar. He's quiet, a good
IstenT, with a sly twinkle in his
eye and delicious sense OF humor
in his public speaking.
He reads omnivorouSly, has
three passions in life: Hard work,
his family and his horses. He
lives on a hillside farm on the
River Road, and wishes often for
his motor launch, in which he
cruised around Chautauqua Lake,
near his Jamestown IN. Y, home.
Mr.. Jackon is a discreet party
goer. If you see him in crowd
you'll never suspect him to be the
remarkable person he is. He ex-
presses no "viewS" and does not
hold forth politically.
Mrs. Jackson would make a
likely Supreme Court lady. She
is small and pretty with dark
hair. Has gentle, sympathetic
manner. Dresses well but unob-
trusively. And remains serene in
the Washington whirlpool.
Young William Eldred Jackson,
son of the Assistant to the Attor-
ney General, is surely a joy to in
teliigent parents. For four years
he has led his class at st. Adams
School. Last year he received the
Bishops medal. This year he has
edited the school paper, In the
fall he will enter Yale.
Immediately after school closes,
young Bill is going to Europe on
a bicycle tour with friends. He is
having difficulty finding passage
on q west-bound trip. The Assist
ant Attorney General and Mrs.
Jackson say he must travel simply
and keep within modest expense
account. And there's lots Of com
petition in that right now.
Mary Margaret Jackson, daugh-
ter in the family of the Assistant
Attorney General, is a student at
National Cathedral School!
met Mrs. jackson at the nice
luncheon given for Mrs. Henry
Morgenthau. jr., by the Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury, Miss
Josephine Roche. Miss Roche is
as engaging as she is smart. Her
luncheon had a gaiety not often
enjoyed in official entertain
ments. Among her guests were
wives of famous gentlemen and
certain prima donnas who need
no reflected glory to give them
sparkle.
The U. S. Minister to Norway,
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, stole
the spotlight. She was wearing a
dark blue and red silk suit, part
of her Ministerial trouSSeau. The
dress of red had small white fig
ures and was covered by navy
blue redingote, figured in white,
which showed a big loose bow OF
red at the throat. Her moderate,
sized sailor hat was of dark blue
ribbon.
Mrs. Hartman Is taking a few
of her personal furnishings to the
Oslo Legation, lamps, mirrors and
such.
Mrs. Frances Starr Donaldson,
blond and trim and effectively
decorated with three purple or
chids, looked extraordinarily like
she did in her famous success,
1.-THE Rose of the Rancho"
Mrs. John L. Lewis, wife Of the
labor leader, admitted reluctantly
that the day was her own birth
day. Mrs. Harry Hopkins, who
with her husband, the agile WPA
Administrator, manages to live
quietly here, had on a pretty little
gay postage stamp Of a hat and a
black and red suit.
Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau,
by the way, are closing their house
on R street. Mrs. Morgenthau and
her children are going to their New
York farm. Mr.. Morgenthau will
live at the Carlton.
