came the vogue-she motored down
for = trip Of inspection, taking along
with her . well-known artist.
Before they reached the house the
magniflcence Of the more than 250-
year-old trees through which the
narrow entrance to Tulip Hill wound
had practically sold the estate to

The hostess wore a gown Of white

Bellini was attired in coral brocaded
silk in draped effect.
Among the other out-of.town guests
were Princess Sue RAZumowska Of
Boston and MIR. Alexander Mckay

OF the firm which is publishing Mrs.

North River, they were doubly eager
for look At the interior.
1t was not charming ut that time,
but Mrs. Flather saw through its
CRIME and neglect and dilapidation.
With true insight into the soul of 4
house, Mrs. Flather realized Tulip
Hill could not be revived at long
distance. She moved from her home
In Warrington to 4 tiny cottage on
the estate and set about the tre-
mendou task Of recreating this new
ly purchased home.
She succeeded surprisingly well.

garden doorway with its unique shell
hood, the stairway rising behind to
arches, the built-in corner cupboard
with Its H hinges OF wrought iron
beaten out by hand, the unexpected
funny closets and strange twists in
corridors and, most surprising, the
Cupid scattering flowers from the
center Of the front portico-these are
few Of its attractions.
In the early days when Sam GAL
loway lived at Tulip Hill it was sup
posed to have . secret passage lead
ing from the river to its cellar,
through which slaves were smuRsled.
Appropriately enough one of the At

cally different from those OF the present
bills.
May Cost Billion Dollars.
The crop control measure has favor,
not because the beneficiaries OF it
understand it-for not one farmer in
10000 knows what is in the bill. The
measure has favor only because Of the
aroma that goes with the phrase "crop
control" or rather with the phrase
farm relief" In the debate on the
crop control measure in both Senate
and House member after member has
said, directly or by implication, This
Is not the kind OF farm measure
would like, but" 1t Is fairly to
be doubted whether President Roose-
welt would favor the crop control bill
had he time and detachment. to study
what the bill in its present form Is.
This statement is justified by at least
one feature Of the measure. For the
measure in its present form contem-
plates an expenditure not specified in
amount, but probably running to at
least billion dollars, without any
provision for raising the money-and
Mr.. Roosevelt said weeks ago that he
did not want crop control bill en-
failing an appropriation unless there
was enacted at the same time a pro-
vision for raising the necessary money
by taxes
Similarly, the wage and hour bill
has momentum only because of the
magic that goes with the implications
OF the phrase wage and hour" The
magic of the words still moves Con-
gressmen and others-in spite of the
fact that the American Federation of
Labor. after indorsing the bill in an
earlier form, now says it does not
favor the present bill and does not
favor any measure which gives to
government discretionary bureaucratic
control over conditions Of labor.
Disavowed by Connery.
When the bill was originally intro
duced into Congress its sponsor in
the House was Representative Connery
Of Massachusetts,. and the bill still
bears his name. But this week Repre-
sentative Connery's brother, who re-
Gently succeeded to the seat when his
brother died, disavowed support Of
the bill. In the House the bill has
emerged from committee in four sep
arate versions, basically differing The
latest version has 129 amendments.
One or another of these amendments
is repugnant to practically every per-
son who favors the objectives of the
bill
In short, both the crop control bill
and the wage and hour bill owe their
vitality at this stage to a familiar
psychological condition. A man or a
group gets involved in course because
he is attracted by the objective. He
becomes swamped in detail, becomes
obsessed with overcoming unantici-
pated obstacles and finally finds him
self arguing for that which, in the
beginning. he would have rejected.
What We have before us now is
situation familiar to any one who has
worked on committees or in delibera-
tive bodies situation that has
reached the stage in which many of
the participants are intellectually

passed by the Senate with the version
as passed by the House, so as to ar
rive at a joint measure. In the pres
ent situation the conferences over the
crop control bill and over the wage
and hour bill are likely to be long and
contentious, for in each case the
measure as passed in one house diff
fers materially, even fundamentally,
from the measure as passed In the
other. Indeed. as respects the wage
and hour BILL the measure as passed
in the Senate last summer is almost
irreconcilable with the measure now
pending in the House.
So that, even II the House passes
the wage and hour bill before Christ
mas and the Senate passes the crop
control bill before Christmas, neither
measure will become law before the
Christmas holidays.
Conference Stage Fatal.
This period OF delay will be valu-
able for public enlightenment. But
from the point Of view of gaining time
for reflection and poise, it would be
more desirable if the bills were not in
the conference stage. 1t would be
more desirable If the Senate would
not act upon the farm control bill un-
til after Christmas, and II the House
would not act on the wage and hour
bill until after Christmas. Because
once measure has reached the stage
Of conference, the changes that can
be made are limited. No new features
can be introduced. Conference COM
mittees are confined to what they
have before them, to what is already
written into the bills as they come
from the House and from the Senate.
Once measure has reached the con-
ference stage, If there is in both ver-
sions anything fundamentally objec-
tionable, or if both lack something
fundamentally desirable, the only way
out is for the conference committee
to disagree, or for the House or Sem
ate to refuse to adopt the conference
report That would mean no bill at
all. (Refusal of one house or the
other to adopt conference report is
rather possible in the case of the wage
and hour bill)
II there were time for reflection
and poise, both the crop control OBJ
jective and the wage and hour objective
might be approached in ways drasti-
