It was particularly gratifying to Mrs. Irvine 1. Lenroot. the recently clected president of the Congressional Club, that the first reception after the convening of the nef Congress should be for a member who has been so highly honored in the national sense as Mra. Warren G. Harding. The first lady of the land and the new execu- tive of the Congressional Club have always been more than friendly. Nat- urally Mrs. Harding. who retains her membership and with it a cordial in- terest in all club activitles, is well vpleased that the president has been chosen from the senatorial set, for the third time in the history of the organization, which has now rounded thirteen years. Mrs. Lenroot is the cighth president, and her two prede- cessors in the senatorial circle were Mrs. Fletcher of Florida and Mrs. Pomerene of Ohio. Mrs. James Breck Perkins of New York, the founder and first president, died during her second term, and Mrs. Alexander White Gregg of Texas, as ranking vice president, filled out the unexpired term. Mrs. Ernest Roberts of Massachusetts was then selected, and then came the two ladies from the senatorial circle, Mrs. Horace Mann Towner of lowa, Mrs, Charles B. Ward of New York, and a graceful and most successful execcu- tive has just retired, according to the constitution, after serving from 1919, and was succeeded by the charming hostess of Mrs. Harding last Saturday afternoon. The Congressional Club has suffered heavily in loss of mem- Lership through the November elec- tion, and a drive is on to interest the newcomers in the _organization. Among the charter members who have departed from Washington are Mrs. Joshua W. Alexander, Mrs. Champ Clark and Mrs. Henry T. Rainey of Illinois. An aftermath of the celebration in honor of the hero of South America, Simon Bolivar, will be the confer- ring of the degree of doctor of laws on Senor E. Gil Borges, minister of foreign affairs, in_Caracas, by the School of Foreign Service, at George- town University Tuesday evening. nor Borges, who once represented country at the Washington legation, is the head of the ofiiclal delegates sent by Venezucla. After making sev- eral visits of courtesy, he will come to Washington and be the guest of Senor Santos Dominici, the minister from his country. This will be the first desres conferred by the School of Foreign Service, and it will be lmude a notable occasion by the Georgetown University and the Latin American diplomatic corps, because of the many students from their countries who are enrolled as mem- bers. The degree will be cenferred at a special academic exercise and will be followed by a reception, to which a brilliant company has been asked. Many of the Latin envoys are graduates of the ancient and honor- able law college at Salamanca, and they will wear the picturesque attire of that aged seat of learning. Senator Page of Vermont is now the member of the upper house who could receive Li Hung Chang's quaint compliment, “for having passed such a distinguished number of years.” He has entered_ his seventy-ninth year and is the oldest man in that august body in point of age. In point of service the dean of the solons is Henry Cabot Lodge, by courtesy of having been olected in 1893 and con- tinuing in office ever since. But Sen- ator Warren of Wyoming has served thirty years, but with an intermis- sion. The father of the Senate, M_r. Carroll Smalley Page, has not been in robust health of late and is at pres- with his daughter, Mis Alice enjoying a brief rest in Atlan- tic City. He hopes to g-t a breath of his own native air to restore him completely and may take a run up to Hyde Park, Vt. before resuming his seat in_the Senaf Senator Page has a home which stands on an eminence in full view of the White mountains and overlooking a vast plateau through which the ‘nver Lamoille winds like a broad sil- ver ribbon. The residence is roomy and surrounded by hospitable looking lvorehes. and on clear days, with the aid of a telescope, one may watch the adventuresome toiling up Mount Ster- ling. Only the senator and Miss Alice Page live in the big house, though the only son of the senator, Mr. Russell Page, resides in the viliage of Hyde Park, which lies on a turn of the road from the Page estate. A member of the family whose loss has thrown @ gloom over the senator was that of young Carroll S. Page, a_ grandson, who went down in the Cyclops in the early days of the war. The fate of those on the Cyclops has never been known. In naval records it is simply Mated that the destroyer sziled away manned by such and such, among them young Carroll Page, and it nev- er came back, nor have any tidings, direct or indirect, ever been received. Senator Francls Emroy Warren is among the very few in American his- tory who have served thirty years in the Senate. Blaine Served the same number of years in.Congress, but many of them were passed as a mem- ber of the House. Benton of Mis- souri scrved from 1820-50 in the Ben- ate and his autobiography dealing with this period is an important chap- ter of political history. The Nestor of the present Senate enjoys much opular esteem through being the ather-in. of Gen. Pershing, and, in addition is the one who early rec- ognized the qualities of military lead- ership which the head of the Ameri- can expeditionary forces possesses. !Senator and Mrs. Warren reside on the upper end of Connecticut avenue and ape hospitably inclined. Mrs. | Warren has been acting as a hostes lat the pleasant Sunday afternoon re- {geptions which “Gen. Pershing has been holding in his suburban home. [She has long been established in Washington society, being a niece of !me late Mr. Justice Henry C. Brown and a constant visitor at his home, The Warrens have a fine estate at Cheyenne and enjoy the pleasure of recelving visits from all those who are attempting the Yellow Stone Park { through the entrance at Cody.

This present cabinet boasts none, but there are two in the Supreme Cour:, AMr. Justices Mc- | Reynolds and Clark; a full score in the Senate and some forty or fifty in the House, not to mention a gen- erous sprinkiing in other ‘positions. Mr. Burton never counted heavily in the social sense, being of a studious bend and wmuch occupied with more serious things. But he is at all times & dignified figure and in addition comes from the President’'s state and was his immediate predecessor in the Senate. Mr. Burton had served in the lower House for sixteen years be- fore being promoted to the Senate and+his friends declare having experi- ence of both branches of the govern- ment, he prefers his present statu: He is the biographer of another di: tingulshed Ohioan, John Sherman, and is as well known in the realm of let- ters in politics. Mr. Burton has always resided in some qumiet apart- ment house and he has returned to his old ways as casually as though six residence in Washington. When Cooper Representative Henry Allen was defeated in a faction quarrel between progressives and regular republicans he was the rank- ing member of the Wisconsin dele- gation, and Mrs. Cooper was ac- corded all the prestige attaching to this, although she had been in Wash- ington fewer years than many other: Representative Cooper was a wel seasoned bachelor when he married about fourteen years ago. ~Mrs. Cooper has always been a prominent member of the Congressional Club, and is one instance of a charter member departing from Washington and returning to her old post. though _Representative' and Cooper return after only two ve: absence to a reconstructed Washing- ton, socially and politically, the Wis- consin delegation is practically the same as when they left, with but two new names added. Mrs. Cooper is prominent in affairs in her home city, Racine, especially in educational matters, in which she has taken a leading part. At the time of her marriage she was a teacher in the Racine High School and has con- tinued a_member of the cducational board. She is a member of the Fed- eration of Clubs, and has been active here in all civic affairs.

Now these radiant blos- soms have spread into the suburbs and the country, and, while the zrain fields thereabout look much better than they did, the farmers are not particularly grateful to Mr. Mann. Mr Henry have leased <ome in Gros- venor S and will sail end of this sotrery month, and will remain for the great- er part of the season. Mrs. John Henry Hammond will join her moth- er for a few weeks, going later to Scotland. Quite near the White domi- cile, Mrs. Hamilton McK. Twombly, Mrs. White's sister, and Miss Ruth Vanderbilt Twombly, are already es- tablished. Miss Mabel Gerry hai definitely taken up her residenee in England and after the example of 1 Mixs Anna Morgan will give her time to philanthropic and artistic pursuits. | Miss Gerry has a snug box in Kent and a suite of apartments in Kensing- ton, and is taking an active interest in the many Anglo-American clubs of London. She has joined several of the athletic organizations also and be conspicuous among the Amer- fcan hostesses at Ascot and the river events in June. During the winter. the permanent American colony in Paris was much larger than that of London. According to the latest An- glo-American_ directory, more than fifty thousand citizens of Uncle Sam are registered as domiciled in Brit- ain and for a year's duration. In this number are many actors, actresses and writers of both sexes, not to mention a growing colony of artista aud students at the fine schools ef apylied art. There are several hun- dred medical students also in the London hospitals. € So much was written during the sit- ting of the peace leaguers, as the term kenially goes in England, of the glory and splendor of the Hall of Mirrors and other rooms of the Versailles Pal- ace. that the world has become quite familiar with its treasures. Now, the sittings of the same tribunal in Lon- don have been in the old St. James Palace and in a suite of apartments which are among the most ornate and historic in Europe. In past ages, this stately group of rooms undoubtedly possessed a definite name. but since the time of Henry VIII it hus been lknown from the splendor and vivid- ness of decoration as “Color Court.” Indeed, it seems to be like a rainbow caught at its brightest and scattered over walls and ceilings, down cham- rs and corridors until it ends in the great throne room. where audiences and presentations occur so many times each season. There is a vast gallery. where levees are given and into which the east room could be snugly laid in one corner. The armor room is rarely visited except by spe- cial invitation, and here the student of military weapons can inspect the rude instruments of primitive Britons, which are placed in serried rows above and about the vast stone fire- place. Queen Anne’s drawing room has been the principal place of the meet- ing for the committee from the Ver- sailles congress, which has been in London for several weeks past. A resplendent room, practieally ~un- changed since the children of Charles posed there for Van Dyck, and where the brilllant scenes of Queen Anne's reign were principally staged. More than a century ago St. James Palace ceased to be a residence, and is main- tained now only for official fetes and levees, and because it gives name, historically. to the court of the Brit- ish sovereizns. “Color Court” with its handsome archway, is the oldest REE B i r A.F Cunningham & €0 316 Seventh Street Monday Is Dress Day! part of the palace, and owes its goy Keous tints to Henry VIIL whose poy trait leads the long list of kings an queens since his da; Lady Margaret Eleanor, wife ¢ Lord Huntington, has displayed he American_independence in taking modest apartment in the commercis part of London. nothing else bein available.
