Tales of Well Known Folk In Social and Official Life President Coolidge Introduces New beographical Sections Into Cabinet—Kellogg and Jardine From Heretofore Unrepresented States. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. President Coolidge, like his imme- diate predecessors, has introduced W geographical areas into the cab- et group in two instane etary of State-elect brings ) a for the first time into the list iuls, though the State was »re represented among the taries of the Trea Windom under Preside n the war portfolio Dr. Jardine, Incoming Se Agriculture, introduces Kansas the first time, just as Albert Bacon Fall did New Mexico under President Albert Sidney Burleson President Wilson. It is phenomenal how closely inet offi- cials were selected from the states- men of the ally the Secretaries of York seems to be the source of sup- ply for premiers, for out of the total 5 holders of this portfolio 11 were s of the great State, including the first, John Jay. In L , President John Quiney Adams made Henry Clay of Kentucky head of the cab- inet, but Kentucky was territory of Virginia during the Revolution and at that time was not considered “new country.” 1In 1831, President Jackson asked Edward Livingston of Louisi- a to be his premier, but this Atatesman came of distinguished New | York parentage and was only poli of the Pelican State. Then a lapse until 1857, when chanan asked Lewis Cass to become Secretary of Grant had Elihu Wash- burne Tilin, Gillespie Blaine of Maine served Garfield and Benjamin Harrison, and John W.

Kellogg, fol- lowed a graceful tradition in present- ing his portrait in oils to the chan- of the embassy in London be- fore his departure, and thus completes the group which begins with that ex- cellent painting of Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina, done by Gilbgrt Stuart. Every Minister and Ambas- sador who has served this Republic at the Court of St. James h been hung on the walls of the embassy offices. Those who failed to present their por- traits have had them supplied by the ) pending war in 1812, and it was his brother, Gen. Sir Edward Pakenham, who died rather ignominiously on the fleld at Chalmette, routed by Gen. Jackson and the victim of a negro sharpshooter. Bret Harte, however, after examining the tomb of this military commander in St. Paul's Cathedral, Londen, remarked that he could not hae been given a more flamboyant epitaph If he had driven Jackson and his army into the M!s- sissippi and burned the City of New Orleans to the last house.

Mr. Byrnes is a newspaper publisher and owner and he takes up work which is en- tirely congenial and to which previous to being elected to Congress 10 i ago he had devoted all his ener Mrs. Byrnes is charming and cultured and claims the lovely little city where she lives us her birthplace. She was before her mgrriage Miss Maude Busche and ha% been carefully edu- cated, both in schools and in travel, for playing a conspicuous part in so- cial affairs in Washington. As retir- ing president of the Congressional Club, her regime has been marked by complete harmony and by a prilliant succession of events. She has studled parliamentary law and has presided with dignity and thorough knowledge over the body which honored her. Mrs, - American Club in London.

The Araguaya has remained to be the central part of the fetes arranged to commemorate th momentous cvent, the result of years of patient engineering on the part of the colonial department of public works. Two of the lovely coral islands had to be blown outright from the channel to widen it in order that ships like the Royal Mail liners could onter unharmed. It required some persuasion for the authorities to al- low this, though 365 remain of the group. The roval lieutenant general, Sir John Asser, and Lady Asser be- gan the gala fortnight by a grand re- ception to the captain and officers of the liner, followed each night by din- ners and balls, some at the govern- ment house, others In the notable residences of Hamilton, while almost nightly there are dances on the liner's decks. As a rule, the Winter resi- dents of Bermuda begin to get rest- less about March 1 and to talk of fiving northward. But the celebra. tion of the opening of the harbor w keep the cottagers a full month over- ‘ments designed for time. ined Washington never fails to display keen interest in the after life of nren and their descendants who played a part in the early history of the Re- public. The news that the young Earl of Longford, head of the House of Pakenham, s about to marry Miss Christine Trew of Cheddar, femerset, recalls how many pages are glven by the Capital's early chroniclers to the bridegroom’s great-grandfather, Sir Richard Pakenham, for 12 years British Minister here.

This secretary was perhaps the first to publih in London cotemporaneous letters of social life in the Western republic, graphic, but not flattering. Sir Rich. ard Pakenham's daughter was the neglected and unhappy wife of the “Iron Duke,” Wellington, and it was quite the vogue for the Washing- tonians of that day to express the liveliest sympathy for this lady.

The fortunes of war went against Repre- sentative Byrnes, but though he has no plans for the immedigte future, many believe that it will not be long before South Carolina again pre- empts his services in the National House of Legislature. Mme. Fay de Litzin of southwest Russia, who has been the guest of Mrs. Minnegerode Andrews and her invaluable assistant in designing his- toric garments, possesses a magic touch in pageantry. One of the exlles from the advancing bolshevik army, Mme. de Litzin, with her mother and small daughter, had the good fortune to escape into Austria with a scant portion of her property. Her husband fell in the attempt to stay the red army.
