almost nightly dining and dancing on
the Shoreham Terrace. and always
with gay party of young people. It
will be recalled that last Summer the
Senator, to illustrate that there was
no reason why every American should
not see his own country. as 1t Is
within the pocketbook of all, made a
caravan journey to the West Coast
with only sloO in his pocket. Then
there was Senator Guffey, the hand
some bachelor from the Keystone
State. who is one of the most delight
full hosts of the Winter season and
always manages to run down from
the Senate for at least short time
when his sisters receive on Senators
day. He stepped out-and not with
one of his sisters, either-maybe it
was a Kentuckian. And there was
the baby Senator. Rush Holt of West
Virginia, who crashed the austere
gates of the Senate at %, boasting
proudly that Henry Clay did the same.
Senator Holt wears glasses and is
studious looking, having been school
teacher. but is a good dancer and is
most often seen dancing with his
sister. who will soon forsake him and
take life partner.

Quently on the dance floor. Seemed
to enjoy himself immensely, giving a
Texas swing now and then. and al
ways with his perennial bow tie which
has become hall mark. Senator
Richard Brevard Russell. who was
Governor of Georgia at "a and will
come into his fortieth birthday ami
versary this Fall, is another likely
Southern bachelor who seems to be
taking his time, but who is an asset
at any dancing party, His politica,
career began at "a. when he was
elected to the General Assembly o1
Georgia. where he served for II
years, being elected speaker in 1927
His career upward has been most
hattering and it is said down in his
State that he does like the home fires
but seems to be in no hurry.
Senator Often Seen at
Cotillions and Germans.
How about Senator Capper OF
Kansas, who is usually seen at the
germans and cotillions - but more
friend Of the voteless inhabitants OF
the District OF Columbia, who is held
In great esteem and affectionate
regard because he is ever watchful
OF their interests. Now and then the
widowed Senator takes a step or two
on the floor, and while his name has
been coupled with several charming
widows in Capital society he lives
alone. Good-looking Senator Walsh
OF Massachusetts,, seemingly a con-
flrmed bachelor, goes about quite a
bit, sometimes dances but perhaps
shines most as a dinner man. He
has the distinction Of being the first
Democrat to be elected from Massa-
chusetts to the Senate Of the United
States since the War Between the
States and has been coming regularly
ever since with the exception of two
years. There's Senator Hale of
Maine-that State, you will remember,
was one of the two last Fall-who
has been coming to the Senate since
1915 and has been absolutely invul-
nerable to Cupid's darts. Another
Is the bachelor Senator Kenneth Nc
kellar; even his home town, Memphis,
which is noted for its beautiful
women, has given him over to single
blessedness. Others who might be on
the borderland of susceptibility-and
who knows but that they might take
chance-are Senator Green OF
Rhode Island, the bachelor Senator
Mr.. Hitchcock of South Dakota
besides Senator Gibson of Vermont
who frequently is seen looking on al
the gay parties at Wardman Park.
Senator Caraway Prefers
Tea to Cocktails.
The prospective bachelor and wild
over beaux of the Senate cannot hav,

Chamber can also boast of delightful
widow who is politically there in hel
own right having been the first woman
to be elected for a full term. Mrs
Caraway was first appointed to tn
Senate in compliment to the memor,

his State faithfully and well, but l,
