Washington hoStesses and party
goers may have welcomed their
rest from the usual rounds of
luncheons, teas and cocktail par
ties yesterday but for some of the
cooks about town the dearth of
daytime festivities meant dinner
guests more eager and receptive
for extravagant fare than usual.
And there were dinners galore.
Embassy chefs, who have cooked
for kings and presidents, are not
easily put off by such minor prob
lens as knowing that the SO or
so dinner guests have not already
partially sated their gustatorial
yearnings from the hors d'oeuvres
at another embassy. But nonethe-
less it's still an unusual experience
for diplomatic chefs.
Rising to meet this occasion
last evening were the chefs at
both the Colombian Embassy and
the Austrian Legation. The for
mer put finishing touches on a
repast for the more than so guests
of Ambassador and Sonora de
Zuleta- Angel, while the latter hao
only IL guests to please.

At the Colombian Embassy the
party honored Ambassadors Sc

in the evening received one o1
Colombia's highest decorations

American relations.
The dinner was, of course, for.
NAL with medals worn and re-
splendant guests were seated al
small tables which lent an air ot
- ir1formality to the occasion. The
group included high-ranking dip
lomats from Latin American
countries, special friends of the
honor guests and members of the
embassy staff and their families
The Austrian Minister and Mrs
KleinWaechter seated their guest:

lovely panelled legation dining
room beneath splendid crysta
chandeliers. The list included

When Gerry Clifford married the
good looking and able young Ma
rine Corps officer Bill flanagan,
had a wonderful wedding and re-
ceived lots of marvellous presents,
she undoubtedly considered her.
self q lucky bride. But she may
not have known how lucky. IT
now looks as though she has re-
ceived an unexpected windfall.
Among Gery's gifts which were
displayed on the third floor of
the Clark Cliffords' house during
the wedding reception was a
framed IL by Is inches oil paint
ing of a lady in a turban and
early 18th century dress. It was
the gift Of George Livingston Will
liams, long time bachelor and a
man of excellent taste. George
had found it in an antique shop
on Pennsylvania avenue where he
had recognized at once through
the layers of dirt that needed to be
removed from it that it was a
charming thing and would en-
hance the furnishings of the young
couple wherever they set up house
keeping. Though unsigned and
unnamed he had no doubt that
it was worth the $40 he invested
in it.
Sitting on the third floor with
the other presents, it caught the
eye Of Mrs. Curt Schiffeler. why
that's Dolly Madison" she ex-
claimed, recognizing not only the
face but the famous turban ano
costume that the wife of the fourth
president of the United States sc
often posed in. "Are you sure?'
someone asked. eyes, I'm sure,
replied Mrs. Schiffeler who Is not
only an habituee of all our art
galleries and student of early
American art, but happens to be
the granddaughter of Dolly Madi.
sons godchild. i. e., Margaret
Wood, daughter Of the fourth
Governor of Virginia.
Both Mrs. Clifford and Mrs
Schiffeler believe the painting i.
an original rather than copy
and If it is 1t can be worth any.

influence of Negro speech; that, be-
cause from earliest days white chill
dren of good family have been under
the care of Negro "mammies" and
house servants, the whites have
unconsciously adopted the Negro
manner of speaking.
A moments reflection will show
that the opposite is true. The slaves
that were brought to the New World
picked up what little English they
learned by hearing the speech of
their white masters and the speech
of other slaves who had preceded
them.
The white Southerner and the
Negro do not speak at all alike
except for those Southernisms which
the Negro has acquired from his
centuries-old association. with white
people. The Negro still has his own
peculiar dialect, his own idiom, his
own vocabulary and even his own
grammar. And the Negroid flavor
of his speech usually persists in
spite of schooling, especially where
Negroes live together in large num-

When write this column, I use
q typewriter of the kind known as
q portable. It weighs hardly 8
pounds and can be inclosed In a
case to be carried about easily.
I have taken this typewriter, and
others like it, far and wide over
the earth. My portables have proved
useful during many rides on trains
and ocean liners.
The portable typewriter is i'm
portant to travellers, but machines
of standard size have greater i'm
portance. A large city has thou
sands of offices where typewriters
are employed. Millions of letters
are clicked of" each day on the
typewriters of the world.
Editors and reporters on news
papers use typewriters, and the old
saying about the pen being nightier
than the sword might be changed
to. 1.-THE typewriter Is mightier than
the sword" AS step in progress
during modern times, electric type
writer's have been invented.
More than dozen men might be

Sectional Speech.

In my new book I make mention
Of the fact that the speech heard
in warm climates is always softer,
slower and more melodious than is
heard In cold climates. I have been
asked to explain why this is so.
For the purpose Of contrast, let
us compare the general speech pat
terms heard in New England and
the deep South. We find that the
New Englander speaks rather fast,
his lips are usually held against
the teeth, and the mouth is not
opened very wide; hence, the vowels
are f1atter and the consonants are
more pronounced. The New Eng
lander's sentences are short, la
comic; he laughs sparingly. He
speaks mostly in a monotone.
The reason for all this? It is the
|piercing cold of the long, hard win
tiers. To protect the teeth, the oral
cavity and the lungs from the icy
lair, one learns economy of mouth
movement and economy Of words.

Thurber, Charles wl1eatstone and
various others-but the story !
should like to start telling today is
about Christopher Sholes. More
than any other man, he took steps
to create practical typewriter.
He struggled against great prob
lens, and at last produced q ma
chine which would write fast and
well. We fail to see his name on
the typewriters which are used
today, but he was at work back
there in time, and we should honor
his great and noble efforts.
Born at Mooresburg. Pa, 1872 years
ago, Sholes was able to attend school
only until he reached the age Of IA.
Then he became an apprentice in
a print shop, and worked at this
task for four years.
An older brother of Sholes had
gone to Wisconsin and had started
a small newspaper. He invited
Christopher to join him, and the
offer was accepted. .--.
