Tales of Well Known Folk - In Sociil and Official Life Events of Interest a nrl personal Sketcl‘nes _Grouped—Notable Happenings Passed in BY MARGARET B. DOWNIN Mrs. Kellogg's cunning looking little woolly dog Bodger is becoming & per- sonage in the realm of diplomacy, for he is of the most sociable sort and fairly Teels with delight if he hears his native French spoken. Bodger was acquired in Paris last August from an Irish friend when the Secretary of State and | Mrs. Kellogg were there, the former in behalf of the signing of the multi- | lateral treaty of which so much was | heard in the Senate recently. The| frisky canine was intended as a gift for | the Secretary’s brother, who lives in St. | Paul and who is prone to collect dog pets. But during the progress of the treaty and the subsequent visit to Dublin and on the sea voyage home, Bodger made himself so indispensable to his new owners that they have borrowed | him until they leave Washington, when he will, with proper ceremony, be passed over to his rightful master. He follows the stately butler in the Kellogg home on_ Nineteenth street, quietly but with deference, and while he never makes Tis presexnce known to strangers, he will welcome those he has met before with jovous barks. When Mrs. Kellegg, serves tea to informal callers in the great library on the grounc floor, the dog will move from chair ) chair wistfully} eyeing cake, but never begging for it unless he is instructed to do so. But if the caller speaks a few words of | French the littie animal is transported | with joy and will dance about and give a few suppressed barks before he can| be quite restrained. PR | The Secretary of State and his im-| mediate predecessor Tecently added to their supply of historic gold pens, that | used by the Bolivian Minister, Senor Diez de Medina, in signing the special protocol of conciliation going to the Kellogg collection, and that used by the Paraguayan charge d'affaires becom!nila the property of Judge Hughes. Souve-| wirs passed between all the members of | tne board or conciliation and arbitra- tion which convened in Washington in December, no signer using the same pen | and all carefully retaining their own to | exchange it later with some other mem- | ber of the conference. The senior mem- ber of the Latin American corps. Senor Varela of Uruguay, was honored in re- | ceiving that of the two permanent boards of arbitration, one established in Washington angd the other at Monte- video, capital of his country. These courts; oblige members to submit anv vexed questions to one or the other tribunal before they reach the acute stage which might lead to bloodshed or other acts of violence. Possibly no in- ternational conference, and certainly no pan American conference, ever achieved | such momentous results and disbanded with its members feeling enhanced friendship and good Wwill to the extent as at that which opened rather stormily in Washington with a threat of war be- tween Bolivia and Paraguay. * * k% ‘Mr. Robert Wood Bliss, Ambassador from this republic to Buenos Aires, had a long-due vacation to his credit when President-elect Hoover announced his good-will tour to the South and Cen- tral American states. Mrs. Bliss had already sailed for Europe, where her husband hoped to join her when. the proposed itinerary of Mr. Hoover was cabled. She finished her shopping trip in Paris, however, and made a few visits to friends and then sailed via the Panama Canal for San Francisco. She will meet Mg, Bliss, who finally departed from Argenting last week. It is now expected that Mr. and Mrs. Bliss will come to Washington and occupy their beautiful home, the Oaks, in George- town and possibly remain for the in- auguration. Work has been continually in progress in the enlargement of this | old mansion and the beautifying and systematizing of its extensive grounds, and, from time to time, the owners like 10 observe results. This fine place is one | diff of the few remaining urban estates in the older city which has not given way to the spirit of the times, in selling and subdividing. Except for Tudor Place and the splendid domain of Mr, Alexander King, the Dumbarton Place, Mr. Bliss in the Oaks has obtained the most noted of the genuine heauty spots of the Capital. Sloping in its north- ‘west terminals on Rock Creek Park, the contour of this part of the park | has been merged into that of the na- tional property and the sides which face on the streets of Georgetown have been artistically treated in massed shrubbery and the masking of vines, Aok Senor Elegio Ayala, former Minister from Paraguay, found his post much confused in the geographical sense, it is said, with that of Uruguay, and his name constantly assigned to the envoy from Colombia, Senor Olaya before he returned to his own land. There is much speculation about the similarity of the name of the successor of M. George Cretziano as Minister from. Ru- mania, Dr. Carol Davila, and that of | the Chilean Ambassador, Senor Carlos | Davila. No doubt there will be many | mistakes in the mail and in other ways, but in pronouncing the names the | Chilean Ambassador, who descends from | adventurers to .he Southern Hemisphere, | and who cam> from the romantic small | city of Avila in Old Castile, the Spanish mode is to place the accent on the fir: syliable, as in calliag the word javelin, ‘The Rumanian Minister-designate who | now is serving in Warsaw places the | accent on the'second syllable, after the | liquid manner of the romance tongues. M. Cretiziano is to succeed Dr. Davila | in Poland and is already making strids in his preparations to depart. The new ly appointed Minister from Poland, M. Titus Filipow has a less difficult name for Washington tongues than the average Polish envoy has borne. He is | described as being on the most intimate { terms with the dictator, Marshal Pilaud- | ski, and has been casting a longing eye | on the Capital of the friendly repubiic | of the west for some itme. * ok oxiy Mrs. Miles Poindexter, wife of the former Senator from Washington, who | served for four years as Ambassador | received a warm | she and Mr. Poindexter in- | spend the remainder of the | Winter in Washington.

' THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C time for fine sewing in busy years, but | she still knits and crochets and keeps: | a bit of embroidery near to fill in when | | she is waiting for guests or to pay! | xoF R 1 From Mrs. Coolidge down the line | | | of celebrities to the modest homekeeper | | the cry goes up, What shall be done; | with the Christmas cards? Now the | answer comes with dispatch. Cancel- ed stamps are used in many European countries to fashion works of art, screens, waste baskets, sewing baskets and little articles of every sort, and there are many agencies where these may be sent, for instance, any of the headquarters of foreign missions con- nected with the various churches of this country. Taking off the stamps, the bright illuminated lining of the envelopes is solicited by many chari- table and philanthropic women of Washington who use them for fancy articles, principally intended for Christ- mas trees next December, and the cards themselves have a variety of uses —in children’s hospitals, where they amuse the little sufferers hours untold; | calls. | In industrial centers, where the lovely scenes inspire decorations of all sorts; on furniture, on china, nursery dados and atractive bits on porches, and in outside playhouses. Mrs. Coolidge, be it known, has dedicated her cards to many useful purposes after she had de- lighted in them for a full 10 days after their receipt, and her example is followed by hundreds of others, who pass them on according to the appeals they receive. * % g% Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt has | become New York's most distinguished | commuter, having resumed her lec- tures at the Todhunter School about two weeks ago. The governor's wife felt compelled to give the first month of her husband’s tenure at the head of the State government to the details of set- tling the family in its new home. Not any of the Franklin Roosevelts, how- ever, intend to give up the serene and happily equipped home at Hyde Park. 11 propose to spend occasional week ends there, the Easter recess for the boys from school and the various fam- ily anniversaries. Only the most im- perative personal property was taken from Hyde Park, even the famous library remaining intact, whilst sub- stitute volumes had been secured from various sources. Gov. Roosevelt has a large collection of family portraits of the Roosevelts and their wives through the past 200 years, and these give the Hyde Park mansior stately and liv- able air. Many paintings are by Gilbert Stuart and by Copley. The Stuart por- trait of that Nicholas Roosevelt who, in 1796, was among the public-spirited men who encouraged steam navigation, is perhaps the gem of the governor's collection. This Nicholas Roosevelt— the name an anglicised version of the original Dutch class of the immigrant— was a spectator on the banks of the collect or fresh water pond when John Fitch’s steamboat, the Clermont, made its first brief voyage, a good 11 years, before Robert Fulton’s experiment. All the Roosevelts have therefore stanchly upheld the claim of Fitch against Ful- ton as founder of the steamboat. *x 28 The late Mrs. Edw handsome fortune for 1o restoring the old villa a* Malmaison, in which the Empress Jos:phine received the last farewell of Napoleon when he was fleeing from his enemies after the battle of Waterloo. This is altogether a erent mansion from the exclusive retreat built in the extensive park of Malmaison for the eminent persons suf- fering from clouded minds and nervous afflictions. Mrs. Tuck, who was the wife of Edward Tuck, an international banker of Paris, and daughter-in-law of the late Amos Tuck, was Miss Julia Stell of Philadelphia when she mar- ried the vice consul of this republic to France. This was in 1872, and nearly all the intervening years were spent by her in the French capital. For her un- tiring war work, Mrs. Tuck received the blue ribbon of an officer of the | Legion of Honor. Always a profound | admirer of the Empress Jpsephine, she | fcund Malmaison's royal villa almost in decay when she began the fund for its restoration. Mr. Tuck was, before his retirement, senior partner in the firm of Monroe & Co., founded by M. Richards, father of Mme. Jusserand. A close friendship united the two families, and the apartment which the former Ambassador leased was close to the Tuck home in Champs Elysee, in-Paris. * ok ok Mrs. Walter Hines Page, widow of the former Ambassador to the Court of St. James, also an eminent figure in literary history, will in a few weeks take possession of a palatial home built in the Arizona desert within convenient distance of Tuscon. Mrs. Page and her daughter have been globe-trotters and they <lived in England for more than five years. Since the death of Mr. Page, both have tried the renowned Winter resorts of Algiers, Egypt, and the countless offerings on the French and Italian Riviera, and in the South- ern portions of their own country. But dropping off for a rest at Tuscon some two years ago the glorious mountain: and the picturesque desert scenes, mys- terious ruins, strange carvings in the rock and massive peaks and cliffs weirdly painted by the passing ages, made an irresistible appeal. Mrs. Page bought an extensive area in the irri- gated zone and for two years has been carefully inspecting plans which call for an exterior in harmony with the desert and yet, within, such a home as could be enjoyed in Boston or New York, where she had formerly lved. That indestructible building material, adobe, or the same variety of sun-dried brick, which has survived the centuries in Egypt and is still employed by its modern people, has been used for the Page villa and there are the usual patios and long courts of the Spanish style and .a .glorious profusion of palms and semi-tropic flowers made possible Snyder & Littl ]| 2.50 to3.50 Sport Hosiery .39 3 prs., 3.50) Of Women’s Fine Footwear Styder® Litile INCORPORATED Desirable Shoes and Hesi QS 1211 legeSStreelgesnely MRS.

Mrs. Page proposes to pass at least seven months annually in her desert palace, for in Summer it becomes somewhat too warm for those used to the cool breezes of the Atlantic. Kx The Speaker of the House and the officials of the department of the pro- | tocol under Secretary Kellogg are los- | ing sleep over a rather acute question | of etiquette, that is whether the wives | of older members of the House precede the members in their own right. There are, with the addition of Mrs. Pearl Beden Oldfield of Arkansas, five per- sons in this list, and this is about to be increased to eight when the new Con- gress convenes. ' According to the best judgment of Representative Longworth and of the social augurs of the State Department, when only women are en- tertained, most assuredly an elected of- ficial such as Representative Rogers would precede any guest who is the wife of a public man of that class, but when a member and his wife are feted, his lady will be placed in the exact po- sition as his tenure in office finds him, and none of the feminine M. C.s can precede such a member's wife unless she is entitled to rank the official him- self. But all new rulings cause heart- burning and arguments, so this ruling which this year was made necessary for the first time, will not be instantly accepted. Then comes the frivolous query. If a Congresswoman and her husband are asked to the same func- tion, how shall the husband rank in officialdom?
