many months ago decided to give this
annual function in the spring, when
the calendar is less crowded.
There is no question about the
quietness which will prevail at the
Executive Mansion. Carrying out their
annual custom, the President and Mrs.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt will spend
the holiday at the Warm Springs
Foundation In Georgia. Mrs. Roose-
velt, who is on q lecture tour in the
West, will arrive tn Washington early
Tuesday and that night will leave with
the President for the South.
Cabinet Circle Plans
For the Holiday.
The Secretary OF State and Mrs.
Corden Hull will spend the day most
quietly. Perhaps q drive through
nearby country will bring their day
Of rest to q close.
At the residence Of the Secretary
of Commerce and Mrs. Daniel c.
Roper there will be family party
The cabinet officer and his gracious
wife most always give over their holi-
days to enjoy the company of their
family. This Thanksgiving the group
will be somewhat smaller, for only
Mr.. and Mrs. Richard F. Roper and
their two little children, Richard Ro-
per, jr., and Benton Roper, and DR.. and
Mrs. Frank Bohn will be in town.
Today Secretary and Mrs. Roper will
entertain at luncheon, when their
guests will be the Director Of the
Unemployed Census and Mrs. John
Biggers, Mr.. and Mrs. Cato Sellers of
Fort Worth, Tex, and Mr.. Joseph N.
Benners, Commercial Attache of the
Commerce Department at The Hague.
It will be remembered that Mr.. Sellers
was Commissioner Of Indian Affairs
in the Wilson administrations.
The Secretary Of the Navy and
Mrs. Claude A. Swanson are plan
ming to have dinner Thanksgiving
evening with close friends. Earlier
in the day Mrs. Swanson will be q
guest at Mrs. McLean's luncheon.
This popular cabinet hostess IS one of
the most enthusiastic football fans in
society and has not missed an Army
Navy game for many years. This year
she will again be among the "rooters"
on the Navy side. Early Saturday
Mrs. Swanson and her party will en-
train for the Quaker City and after
the annual sports classic between the
middies and cadets she will imme-
diately return to the Capital.
The Thanksgiving plans Of the Sec
retary Of War and Mrs. Harry H.
Woodring are q bit unsettled at this
time. To be sure there will be q
turkey gracing the table for the little
Woodrings, and their fond parents,
whether they are 'out for dinner" or
not, will look in on the children at
their dinner hour.

Exodus to Virginia
For the Hunt Season.
Meanwhile there has been some
what of an exodus from New York
and Long Island, as those persons
who are lovers of our four-footed
friend, King Horse, have Travelled
south to nearby Virginia for the hunt
Ing season.
How different their life is to ours
In the city, almost as different as
chalk is from cheese, Arising early,
they start the day as no woman in
New York or Washington would
dream of doing, by eating a real
breakfast. No meager, thin slice OF
melba toast and a cup OF black
coffee is on their bill of fare! For
them. wisely, a good square meal is
served and out into the cold autumn
air they go; turned out in riding
habits which are perfect in every de-
tail. Arriving at the farm of one OF
the hunting crowd in Virginia at this
time of the year around 4:30 in the
afternoon, it is more than likely you
will find the lady of the house resting
not indulging in mere cat nap, but
taking real sleep, SO necessary after
q day of riding up hill and down
dale chasing Renard the fox. If they
dine out with a close neighbor, the
meal more than likely will be called
for O'Clock, G. so we can get to
bed early" as Mrs Oliver D. Fflley
of New York and Mrs. George Angus
Garrett of this city have often been
heard to say.
And speaking of Mrs. Filley, before
her marriage, Mary Pyne of the Pyne
family so we'll known in New York
no one could be more representative
of the best in the hunting field. She
is very delightful person with 8
most beautiful speaking voice and
like Mrs. Garrett is one of the rare

party or in the ballroom sheds every

lovely clothes, beautiful jewelry ant

In the same class as the above

WORDS OF THOMAS E. WATSON

On the west side of the capital in Atlanta, Ca,
there stands life sized bronze statue of Thomas
E. Watson with hand uplifted in speaking pose.
On the north side of that statue appear the
words quoted from the writings of that ablest and
greatest of Georgians, as follows: ..... .
Democratic institutions exist by reason of their
virtue; if ever they perish it will be when'you have
forgotten the Past become indifferent to the Pres
ent and utterly reckless as to the Future" . ...
Beyond doubt democratic institutions have lost
their virtue in America and they are perishing be-
fore the very eyes of this generation WHO have
forgotten the Past become most Indifferent to the

PEACE AVAILABLE TO ALL

Some have sought peace in social distinction,
but whether they have been within. the charmed
circle and fearful lest they might fall out or out
side and hopeful that they might get in they have
not found peace. Some have thought vain thought,
to find peace in political prominence; but whether
office comes BY birth, in monarchies, by cleo
ton, in republics, it does not bring peace, An
office is not considered a high one if all can oc-
cupy it. Only when few in generation can hope
to enjoy an honor do We call it great honor. /
am glad that our Heavenly Father did not make
the peace Of the human heart to depend upon our
ability to buy it with money, secure it in society,
or win it at the polls, for in either case but few
could have attained it, but when He made peace
the reward of conscience void of offense toward
and man, He put it within the reach of all. The
poor can secure it easily as the rich the social
outcases freely the leader of socieyt, and the
humblest citizen equally with those who WELD po-
litical power.--Wam Jennings Bryan.

WHERE HAPPINESS is FOUND

Joe Francois Millet, the famous painter once
said that beauty lies in the harmony between man
and his industry 1t is here, Also that happiness

Petty disagreements jealousy, gossip, prejudice,
fear-these things are the destroyers of harmony.
They are mental poisons which kill creative think
ing, personal efficiency and productivity.
1t is when we are in harmony with our fellow
workers when our vibrations are attuned to theirs
and we joyously work toward a common goal, that
we know the glow of happiness. An Office or plant
may be made place where friendships last and
where men even feel an affection for the desks and
walls This is pride in the work that is done in
these organizations. There are standards to be
maintained, codes to be followed regulations to be

one glad to get down to the job in the morning
and reluctant to leave at night.

of Wisconsin, in. part as follows:
"The climate in the District OF
Columbia is probably the worst
in the country, not excepting
Death Valley. For three months
in the summer sustained mental
effort is impossible"
Nevertheless, it is more or less
pleasant 10 report that the home
of the late Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes is being saved from the

shrine, and that the famous old
turreted, brownstone Henderson
Castle on 10th street has become

The Holmes house on I street
was about to be torn down and
the land used for a parking lot.
Henderson Castle always tried
TO give the impression of being
