Points TO Labor's Success
In Organizations
There are those who are prone
to question the ethics Of labor Or
ganizations in their efforts to gain
recognition and more liberal re-
muneration for their labor. Without
comment on the merits or demerits
of the methods employed, the fact
remains that by virtue Of their
ability to coordinate their efforts and
present d united front they hove
made of their organization a form

The Dining Room
For Intimate Entertaining.
Well, the visit with Mrs. Hull was
all too short, but we felt that we
might not get another crack at her
when the official season begins. And
we were entranced with her kitchen,
and charming dining room. where the
mahogany will seat as many as ~
guests and where she and the Secre-
tary often entertain famous people.
1t is an intimate room, where one can
talk with less restraint and where
Southern hospitality reigns. Oh, Just

how her father laughed at her.
Checquers Country Estate
or Prime Ministers.
Mrs. Hull was much interested in
the pictures or portraits lining the
walls OF the great stairway at No. 10
Downing street. 1t has been said that
through these pictures of the prime
ministers Of England one can trace
the political evolution Of the empire

recalled that Mr.. George Downing

nephew of Gov. Winthrop of Mas
Sachusetts, who went over to England
with letters from distinguished Puri-
tans to Oliver Cromwell, built and
lived in the first 10 Downing street.

its comfortable furnishings. The
drawing room library, where she re-
ceiveS at small affairs, is strongly in
dividual with all the personal gadgets
about; the tables and walls filled with
autographed photographs OF foreign
rulers and distinguished men and
women of the world. Each likeness
bears a friendly and often affection

The Hulls Received En- Famille
At Windsor Castle.
There on a table, with the late az
ternoon sun slanting across his face,
is an excellent likeness OF Mr.. RAM
say Macdonald, late premier of Eng
land, who refused peerage, fearing
it might interfere with the career of
his son. This picture brought to Mrs.
Hull memories of their visit to London
in 1888, when her husband headed the
conference. and they were everywhere
received SO cordially. She decided that
she would like better being received at
Windsor Castle by King George and
Queen Mary than to be presented at
court-she did enjoy the garden party
at Buckingham Palace-so they met
the King and Queen privately and
saw some of the glories Of Windsor,
the beautiful gardens and the world
old gallery and furnishings. The Eng
lish countryside charmed her. but she
said, why, its lovely, like our Virginia
The hedges are no more beautiful and
the flowers no lovelier" And it must
be said right here that Mrs. Hull is
torn with allegiance between her ma
tive State, Virginia, and Tennessee,
the State of her adoption.
