DOWNING. The present occupants of the Whlte‘ House are, it will be accepted, entirely | open-minded when it comes to decisions | as momentous as the refurnishing of the historic home of the Presidents in authentic early American equipment. This was Mrs. Coolidge’s pet ambition and she recently revived interest in the ' idea through her writin; on the | anomalies to be found in all parts of the mansion. The late Charles F. Mc- Kim, it will be recalled, transformed the ugly Midvictorian black walnut and heavily decorated State rooms into a lighter French adaptation, which is | much more pleasing. But colonial | furniture would not fit into the schem of the east room, for instance, nor are patriotic persons, as Mrs. Coolidge hoped, crowding each other with offer: ings of Duncan Phyfe sofas or massive high and low boys, such as would be | suitable for so spacious a room. In | fact, Mrs. Hoover, who is very practical, wouid not, according to her friends, welcome such a program while she i mistress of the White House. Nor is it | a pleasant outlook to have the lower | suite torn to pieces and changed from | French to Colonial, which would be; necessary if gifts of such description | were to be acceptabl ‘The President is alleged to favor the appointment of a person somewhat of a dictator in the| matter of good interiors and to give him a free hand in turning the White House into an abode which meets the present ideas of comfort and simple elegance. But not in the immediate future Mrs. Hoover meantime takes pride | in the making over of the green room into a charming apartment where early post-revolutionary chairs and graceful settees have replaced the bamboo and brocade furniture which was to reminis- | cent of a sun porch. The green room | has a beautiful empire mantel in soft- | ened white marble, one of a pair which formerly decorated the State dining room. The other furniture has been | adapted to the mantel, and the m: | Japanese vases familiar to the public of three generations have disappeared and also the woolwork fire screen, made | by the unfortunate Empress Elizabeth | of Austria, which she presented through the Minister of Austro-Hungary, Baron Ignatz von Schaeffer, to President Ar- 1 thur in 1883. The heavy chandelier has been succeeded by a crystal cluster harmonizing with the wall brackets. Mrs. Hoover uses this apartment fre- quently for smaller and more home- | like entertainments, and with the pink | roses of which she is so partial or the gay vellow blooms of Spring she has | an environment of cheer and comfort to which her long residence in Califor- nia has accustomed her. Portraits of past occupants of the mansion which were hung in rather pell-mell fashion have been thinned and those selected | blend into the color scheme with | artistic perfection. . * * ¥ % | With the British Ambassador, Sir| Ronald Lindsay, finding temporary arters at the. Mayflower when he ar- | fl:m this week and the new Peruvian Ambassador securing a suite at Ward- man Park, permanent embassies and legations become a popular theme in the Capital. The British Ambassador hopes | y to move into the handsome series of buildings now approachin completion on Observatory Hill. Th Peruvian government has never owned | & home in Washington. But now that | the old feud with Chile is amicably ad justed and a new era of prosperity has | dawned for that country, a home of its | own in the Capital of the mother re-| public of the 21 composing the Pan- American Union is on the official pro-| m. The German government is about to close negotiations for a new | home here. One in the high part of | Massachusetts avenue is said to receive more favor than other locations, and | this tract is beyond the new British embassy. The Japanese Ambassador is leisure .moments which come to him in overlooking offered sites for a resplendent new establishment which the foreign office of Tokio has had in mind for five years. Although no se- lection has been made, even tentatively, there is a conviction that M. Debuchi prefers the high, picturesque spots in what is known as Washington Heights and that a large plot not far remote from the Siamese legation is receiving close attention. e Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown and his chief aide, Brig. Gen. Herbert Deakyne, take great pride in the work of the Army En- gineers in Nicaragua, where a specially selected group of officers and enlisted men are making a survey of the historic waterway where it is proposed to cut Just “Brimful” of Paris Yes, brims are the thing —and this Directoire effect is most captivating.

Three regiments have part in this work, the 1st Engineers bearing the fresh laurels wreathed for them for their incom- parable work during the World War at Cantigny, the Aisne-Marne, Montidier, Noyon, the Meuse-Argonne and at St.| Mihiel. The topographic battalion of the 20th Regiment made fame for its division in Toul, France, and is now minutely examining the possibilities of the first waterway noticed by the Span- ish nearly 400 years ago. The 11th En- gineers is at Panama ‘and is the ac- cepted unit when such labor in the ‘Tropics as cutting a canal is under con- sideration. This republic holds a treaty with Nicaragua, giving it the right to cut this connecting link whenever ne- cessity dictates. Last year Congress de- cided that the time had arrived, since | the Panama Canal has become too con- gested to afford the saving of time con- templated in taking the shorter route.: The survey is almost ready to make its | first report. > e | The Prince of Wales having an- | nounced that he will return to his | native heath the first of May, is al-| ready setting about having his new home, Fort Belvedere, in Windsor Park, in readiness for a house warming. This new domicile was a compromise | involving the small palace near Buck: ingham which his parents wished him to occupy. It is set squarely in the | in the great park of Windsor, over- vista cut through the trees, and is re- adapted from domiciles already built when British royalty kept a more nu- merous retinue of personal attendants than now.

No preparations for house guests except the bachelor friends of the host are apparent in the new home, but Windsor Castle is so close that for his feminine kindre¢g who might descend on him unexpectedly he | is always prepared.

The Ambassador to London, Gen Charles Gates Dawes, as all his friends will attest, delights in tales of adven- ture, and from his earliest years the story of the lost continent Atlantis has fired his imagination. As a result those who know him best are not surprised | to learn that Gen.

Dr. Clark can do this more readily since the Librarian of Congress lent some of R “Dottie” “Marianne THESE and other lovely “Hahn Spe- cial” Shoes—also shown in Blues, Purple, Mode, Beige Beige Clair, Browns and Blacks — many combined with genuine Karangua Wa. $6.50 tersnake. and not for a few months only, as do| Vatican Library, and these are now ac- cessible to all scholars with proper | credentials.

Young Cabot, who is of Cambridge and of the historic family, a graduate of | Harvard and of Brasenose College, Ox- | ford, has a persuasive tongue and in | no ‘time he was steaming into the | capital, with the chief insurgent sitting | quietly at his side. Then all the trou- | ble melted away. Mr. Cabot has, in | the nature of things, received many | offers from stage people to appear with his dusty runabout, much battered after its famous drive on the not too much used roads of the Dominican outskirts. But he is not impressed. Not yet four | years in the service, he started so well | that he is not likely to turn back. In | 1927 he was appointed to a desk in the | State Department, and he spent about 18 months in Washington, when after | another brilliant examination he was as- signed as a vice consul of career. His ride was not as thrilling as Paul Re-| vere's, but it is highly commended at | the State Department, and it looks now as though it brought a season of law and order into the island and has given its people an opportunity to think it over before continuing the revolutionary | movement. : Arts Club to Celebrate St. Patrick's Eve at Supper | The Arts Club will celebrate St. Pat- rick’s eve with a chafing dish supper | in ‘the club house this evening, at be the hostess. | Tuesday evening the Washington | | Composers’ Club will be the guests of | original compositions by its members, Mr. Karl Holer, Mr. La Salle Spier, Mr. | | R.
