Government
OF Iran Buys
NesV legation

The Iran government has pur-
chased the home of Mrs. Alanson
B. Houghton at 3003 Massachusetts,
avenue for the home of its Minister
and part, at least, OF the chancery
The house was built about 10 years
ago by the late former United
States Ambassador to the Court of
st. James's and Mrs. Houghton and
the latter with her daughter, Miss
Elizabeth Houghton, has continued
to live there. They have remained
in the house even through much of
the summers since the death of Mr..
Houghton.
The house was selected and cho-
sen for the Legation by the Minister,
M. Mohammed Shayesteh, and
Nine. Shayesteh, who have lived at
2315 Massachusetts, avenue since
they came here nearly four years
ago. The tastes of the Minister and
Nine. Shayesteh are for beauty and
cultivation, both of which the new
Legation has. The house is beau
tifully situated on rise of ground
from Massachusetts, avenue at the
corner Of Thirtieth street, and at
the back Mrs. Houghton and the
late former Ambassador have de-
veloped charming garden Dor
dered by tall trees, many of them
of rare varieties. The nearest neigh

How much is 1t possible for one
woman to do-and do efficiently
without neglecting her home life
and her family? We have wondered
about this a good many times in the
two years that we've been interview
ing war-working women, most of
whom do full-time volunteer Jobs
and nearly all Of whom have chill
dren. Well. the consensus of opinion
seems to be that it all depends on
the woman and her ability to plan
and to budget her time. We've all
known women who seem to be for
ever rushing about in circles, who
never have time for any of the
pleasant and nice little things of life,
who are always busy and rushed and
tired and complaining-and yet at
the end of the day have accom-
plished just about nothing.
In direct contrast are the calm.
CHEEKY ladies whose children and
husbands adore them, whose faithful
servants stay on and on cat the same
wages, whose homes run smoothly
while they do full-time war job and
who always can find time to help
a friend in trouble-all this with
seemingly little or no effort. Have
you got an explanation for this?
Don't you think that the mental out
look OF the woman herself must have
something to do with it? That she
must have made up her mind that
there were more important things in
lie than stewing over small trif1es?
And that because she places the
trivial things where they belong she
has more time for the really worth
while things? And that her family
and her friends and her servants are
happier and more able to do their bit
because they are not subjected to
constant fault-flnding?
# you budget your money you're
going to give the most important
items first place and If you realize
that life is uncertain and some

Young People Fefed
Dinner, Dance
Honor Three
DebHtantes
By Katharine NJ. Rro0ks,

- y A UtH0tbUC W. OTOOKys
The bright and gay spot tor young
people last evening was the Sulgrave
Club, where a small and informal
dance was given for three girls
who would be making formal debuts
except for the war. The hosts were
the Governor-elect of New Jersey
and Mrs. Walter E. Edge, Col. and
Mrs. William Mckee Dunn and Col.
and Mrs. Chauncey G.. Parker, and
the dance was for their daughters,
Miss Mary Esther Edge, Miss Lanier
Dunn and Miss Cecilia Sherman
Parker, more Familiarity known as
Sherry. The invitations for the
dance were issued only in the names
OF Col. and Mrs. Parker and Col.
and Mrs. Dunn, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Edge were at that time engrossed
in the formers campaign for Gov
ernor. His Inauguration will take
place at Trenton January 49, Mr..
and Mrs. Edge arrived in Wash
ington Thursday evening and are
staying at the Sulgrave Club. Their
daughter is the guest of Miss Dunn
until they return to their studies,
Miss Edge at Radcliffe College and
Miss Dunn at Bryn Mawr.
The several hundred young people
were received last evening by the
hostesses and their daughters. Col.
Parker and Col. Dunn, being on
active duty, were absentee hosts,
but Mr.. Edge was on hand to meet
some of the contemporaries of his
daughter. The buffet supper was
served about midnight, small tables
being placed in the dining room
for the comfort of the guests, and
dancing did not continue long after
supper.
The three honor guests, who also
were entertained at dinner by Mrs.
Dunn at the 1925 F Street Club
before the dance. made a picture
as they stood together at the top
of the stairs. Miss Edge was dressed
in blue satin, the skirt flaring toward
the hem and the low-cut bodice hav-
ing short pulled sleeves. Miss Dunn
was in different shade of pale
blue tulle which had touches of
gold on the shoulder straps and
at the belt. Miss Parker was in
white, the very bouffant skirt bill
lowing over hoops and trimmed with
tiny satin bows.
Informality marked the festivities,
and arrangements for both the din
ner and the dance were as simple
as possible in keeping with the war
time. Each of the girls has an i'm
portant place in Washington as their
families have been prominent, po-
litically and socially for some gen.
erations. The recently elected Gov
ernor served his State as Senator
for some years, and Mrs. Edge as
Miss Camilla Sewall made her debut
in Washington before her father
became Governor of Maine.
Col. Dunn is a native of the Dis
trict of Columbia and was born in

I NCOLN stayed at home and
- the rulers of foreign lands
stayed wherever they properly
belonged and our diplomacy
was done by the slow processes
of communication then in vogue,
but none of it was to our hurt.
Yet, when Lincoln had COM
pleted his four years in office,
he ran again and was elected
for the second time. And no
body then feared the. conse-
quences of an election although
many opposed Lincoln even in
the northern states.
In the history Of our country,
two men stand supreme above
all others, George Washington
and Abraham Lincoln. Both
were selfless men.
Washington came from the
landed gentry of Virginia, but
Lincoln out of the very lowliest
folk of Kentucky. Washington
might have been President for
life or even a king. but he re-
jected a third term, and wisely,
since a 12-year tenure for a
mature man is close to a life
lease on the job:
I NCOLN expected little of
IL his fellow-men and in the
end gave his life for them. He
erected no monuments to him.

May God, on this commence

are in, to bind the nations

THESE DAYS
BY GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY-

WHEN Abraham Lincoln was
w President of the United
States, the leading figures of
Europe were Victoria in Eng
land, Napoleon IL in France,
William of Prussia in Ger
many, Alexander III in Russia,
and Franz Joseph of Austria
Hungary.
Britain's prime minister was
Palmerston, with Disraeli> and
Gladstone in the offing.
Honest Abe" of Kentucky
and Illinois had never been TO
Europe and had had no expert
ence in international relations.
Yet, he carried his country
through the perils of a Civil
War with a diplomacy adequate
to safeguard it from foreign adj
vantage.
Nor was he afraid of elections
the symbol of our democracy.
But such a symbol can only be
of social value as long as no
impeachment to free choice by
the people exists.
