Gen. Crosby Welcomed As He Assumes Duties In the Mistrict Service &mm;. ion.' .HH Mr‘-l Crosby Are Prominent in Society World From Affli- ation With Army Circles. ‘The Commissioner of the District of Golumbia who was until a few weeks ng the chief of Cavalry comes into an official municipal relation with Wash- ington already established in the esteem and admiration of hundreds of its ple. Gen. Crosby has flitted in and out of the Capital martial service since the opening years of this century. But about five years ago he and Mrs. Crosby showed the courage of their convictions and purchased their present home, a spacious apartment in the tall, hand- some edifice at 2540 Massachusetts ave- nue, where they have dispensed a gen- erous hospitality. They intend to keep this establishment and no doubt it will prove ample for their needs in the new Tole since it was roomy enough for the many gatherings of Army people. One of the subtle changes noticed since the World War has been that the three Commissioners who assume the duties and responsibilities usually de- volving on a mayor have entered more prominently into the social life of the Capital and they now receive an official recognition not accorded in the early years, Gen. Crosby has been eminent as a Cavalry leader, serving with dis- tinction in the Pbhilippines and on the Mexican border, so0 that, in the personal sense, he will exalt the position he has assumed. Mrs. Crosby has been one of the effi- cient popular ens in the Army wing., Two years ago Miss Jane Crosby was presented to society and she has shared the popularity of her mother and has been active in the more important activities of the younger eirele. Mrs. Crosby has many times supervised the balls of the Army and Navy League and when the chief of staff, Gen. Summer- all, makes ready for one of those carni- vals in the Autumn staged for the Army relief at the War Coll he always counts on substantial aid from Mrs. Crosby and her daughter. In the years before the twentieth century opened, Mrs. Crosby, one of the three ladies who rank in the municipal meaning as a mayoress, was before mar- riage Miss Catherine Adelaide Dakin of Evansville, Ill, and with s decided por- tent of her future life she was among the skillful equestriennes of that h loving suburb of Chicago. Her marriage to the young Cavalry officer took place in her Evansville home and she then began the nomadic career which is in- evitable in every young officer’s life. She is at home in all lands and can be comfortable and make her family happy under trying conditions, as in the Phil- ippines ‘and on the Mexican border. Although there is no code which pro- vides for the social intercourse of the wives of Commissioners with the vast political and social amenities in the official season, Mrs. Crosby has a clearly defined sense of organization and with the brief point of contact made through the tact and understanding of the wives of the recently retired Commissioners, she may evolve a fixed pelicy. The President honors the entire board with an invitation to one of the official levees during the season. and when important asked to the White House ‘Washingte! munieipal aspeet is often recognized and the secretary of the 'ibglrg receives an invitation te represent e Ca) person as Mrs. Crosby and her asso- clates pondering the question, it may be that the Commissioners of the District hereafter will rate as other municipal officials in the towns of the United g Jane Crosby is the enly children of Gen. and Mrs. Crosby who is in Washington. George Dakin Crosby is in the Army and serving in the West. The younger gon, Gordon Willard Crosby, is at col- lege in Rhode Island. Mrs. Gann Will Preside At Reception and Tea Mrs. Edward E. Gann, sister and hostess of Vice President Curtis, will preside at the tea table this afternoon at the joint reception and tea to be given by Mrs. Arthur M. Hyde, Mrs. Roscoe Patterson, Mrs. Joe J.

He plans to sail on the first available ship bound for Marseille, and from that port he will cross the Mediterranean to Greece and proceed by rail to the head of the Persian Gulf. Some five or six weeks will elapse before the Minister sets foot on his native soil, and the journey from the sea, partly by rail ;.nd partly by motor, will require several ays. ‘The Persian Minister, who is among the most hospitable members of the corps, had planned a reception on April 25 to commemorate the sixth anni- versary of the Shah's coronation, and as he had been compelled to omit his New Year fete on March 21, which is the Persian New Year, this is gr‘ovlnx a disappointment, although he had soon after January 1 asked for the leave ac- cruing in the past three years.

The members have a charming memory of her as she appeared at the head of the reveiving line at the opening func- tion of the club house. She, however, took nu pst in outdoor sports except as an onlooker.
