Connecticut Solon And Wife Welcomed By Capital Society Senator and Mrs. Bingham. e New Arrivals, Classed Among the More Noted Explorcrs. Tt 18 typical of the extremes of joy end ecorrows evident in the life of the National Capital that the new Senator from Connecticut has been welcomed just as the dreary proc of auctioning the household treasures of the deceased Senator the samo State had ended. ( cters mora divergent than the la ‘rank Bosworth Brandegea and suc cessor can scarcely bo Ima o1 came from old New tock, mnd his career was environed by the taid traditions of his people, and he entered his lfe and its interests midst the scenes in which he and his ramily had been born tor Bing- ham writes himself as an “explorer,” and he often describes himself as an adventurer, and in the meaning of having many romantic and thrilling neidents he well fills the term. Not for many years has the grave sena- torial body boasted such @ blithe and picturesquo figure as the recent licutenant governor of Connecticut.

It was in Honolulu, in late November,. 1 that Connecticut's new Senator was born, and there he lived "until of an ge to go to college, when, following the family tradition, he matriculated ale. But he studicd for two years University of California. and Harvard, and then, feeling vared for what he had profession, he accepted and politics {r € r began just as drow Wilson's in that seat of Jearning was about to terminate. But teaching was for too prosalc a calling to claim his undivided attention and the next few years find Prof. and Mrs. Bingham penetrating the equa- torial lands and exploring the famous military route followed by Bolivar when he planned his campaigns to throw off the Spanish yoke. Becom ing absorbed in Spanish-A history and geography, Mr. Bingha spent several years.in Buenes Aires and Rio, and th cepted the chair of Latin American history and di- plomacy established by Albert Shaw at_Yale. Senator Bingham has during all these Years come to Washington on various missions, and he and Mrs Bingham will begin their official amenities with the pleasant sense of knowing their guests quite well. The Senator was a delegate from this country to the first Pan-American Congress, held in Santiago de Chile in 1908 thu Root was Secretary of State, and it was during the prelimi- naries leading to this epochal event that the Cofinecticut scholar first met M. Jusserand, and the two be- came more than ordinarily friendly. He had accepted a place at the ban- quet board to honor the eminent French diplomatist before his elec- tion to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Brandegee was assured Tn Peru few Americans are held higher esteem than Hiram Bing- ham, and when he and Mrs. Bingham visit Lima all manner of social honor is showered on them. The Senator was the director of the successful expedition sent from Yale in 1908-9 to explore the ruins of the Inca em- ire, and which established the identity of the last Inca capital, Vitcos. Mrs. Bingham comes to Washing- ton with an unique experience of so- cfal life in many parts of the world and with the reputation for tact and poise for which the well born New England woman is noted. Her dis- tinguished husband, -with. character- istic enterprise and valor, was at the outbreak of the World War among the first fiyers to prepare to train others, and for two years Capt. Bingham, as he as then, lived In Miami and was an aviation pilot, later becoming a major in command of the flying sectlon of the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Mrs. Bingham established herself in a pleasant villa near Miamli while her adventurous husband was on duty there, but early in 1917 he was sent to Tours as chief of personnel of the Alr Division, A. E. F. The Connecti- out Senator has all sorts of decora- tions and honors from the French, British and Belgian governments Among the most cherished of these is the Order of the Golden Star, be- stowed by President Millerand in 1919 in appreciation of Gen. Bing- ham's notable service as commander at Issoudun, the largest flying school ducted by the allf in Rizik Brothers New Fashions and Designs for Southern silks, Rizik shown, is so wide that i you may choose not only your most Z becoming fashion—but choose it in the m]fli New Southern vogue of figured # most charming color B individuality.
