SOCIETY. Tales of Well In Social and Official Life President-Elect Prestes of Brazil, Recent Visitor in Washington, Preserves Health by Systemltic Atiention to Diet. [T BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. President-elect Prestes, the most im- portant visitor from that vast Republic of Brazil since the Emperor Dom Pedro visited President Grant in 1876, took away a few little secrets of his own re- garding his perfect health and unas- sallable energy. Quite unobserved in the retinue of attendants, military aldes, secretaries and utility officers was tall, dark Brazilian, a marvelous chef, who has personally attended to the|g; gastronomic needs of Senhor Prestes sincz he attained political dominence. In the spacious culinary apartment of the Henry White home, now leased by Mr. Eugene Meyer, this food specialist made ready the prescribed dishes. For breakfast several kinds of fruit, begin- ning with lukewarm orange juice, chilled grapes and maybe a ripe peach or two and then one small roll and a cup of Brazilian coffee. Partaking sat- isfactorily of this, the exalted visitor accepted breakfast invitations galore, toyed with griddle cakes, grilled kid- neys and other things not good for him, and was a _most charming guest. His Tuncheon and dinner also were pre- pared by his own man, and again he ‘went through the ordeal of elaborate functions of state with his digestion unassaulted.

Mrs. Whitney received | the Spanish decoration of the Grand Cross in her home, Wheatley Hills, on Long Island, where she was hostess at a sumptuous banquet. The former Ambassador to Madrid, Mr. Ogden Hammond, made the principal address and gave an outline of the Columbus memorial set in the harbor of the ancient port of Huelva, near Palos, from hich the discoverer set forth. The ‘Ambassador in congratulating _the| sculptress on her splendid work gave tribute to American women in the ag- gregate and caild that never before has | Spain so honored an artist of the gentler sex.

King George, Queen Mary, all the court and a brilliant coterie of vis- itors sat in their pews and listened to the eloquent sermon by Canon Alexan- der. It was fully 18 years ago that the Bishop of London and the canons of St. Paul's entered a vigorous protest against the determination of the eity fathers to run a tunnel under the right wing of the minster, and thus weaken and imperil the entire structure. This measure was finally defeated. But meantime the Institute of Architects had begun a laborious examination of the mighty building, and they sounded collapse and must at once be strength- n sandstone in the foundations, which | was already disintegrating. Arrange- ments to carry out the elaborate meas- ures took many years both to plan and to execute, and never before in London has such ‘a wholesale going over ever been decreed for a church or public building. ~ All the designs are now on capital to study them.

He is a fine yachtsman, dances divinely, can play good polo and tennis and will be the able aide in the social amenities in Rio.

Mrs. Hoover took friends there as an especial favor, for it is in the most retired part of the spacious grounds, high above the street, and the place of all others where young Allan liked to read and study. * ok % % Dr. Richard Clarke Cabot of Cam- bridge, Mass was recently elected president of the National Conference of Social Work, and this honor, according to those who know the popular medico well, was most deservedly won. Dr. Cabot is of the major branch of that famous family, connected - with Western World by one of the early ex. plorers. He instituted this welfare ser ice in the Massachusetts General Hos- pital 25 years ago and has tenderly cared for it and has shown interest in every manifestation of the vast char- itarian movement called social welfare. Another zealous laborer in this cause is Mr. George W. Wickersham, who ad- dressed the fifty-seventh conference re- cently held in Boston, and at whicn Dr. Cabot was elected. Mr. Wicker- sham, who, as head of the Law Fi forcement Commission appointed by President Hoover, and as former At- torney General is nationally accepted as an authority, thinks that the State now in charge of charity and benevo- lence will accomplish more direct re- sults and will thus leave the religious tain each other.

I Mrs. Dwight Morrow, who naturally rejoices at her husband’s success in the recent Jersey primaries, conducted in his behalf a campaign which will long be remembered by the various women's clubs which she addressed. For one thing. she never gave political talks and in fact utterly ignored that part in her remarks and at most alluded only cas- ' ually to the struggle in progress and thai she was sure her auditors had studled the issue very carefully. Then she just chatted about the Naval Con- | ference and if any In the audience wanted to ask controversial question she led from that intention most skil- fully by launching into the reception by the Queen, or the King's kindly queries about & certain domestic event which had attracted his attention. Mrs. Morrow had discovered that the hard- st-shelled political woman is not proof against an opportunity to learn how royalty conducts itself, what the Queen and her ladies wore, what manner of refreshments were served, what equip- | ment was in the various royal rooms, Al- ways observant and with a natural gift for making a description attractive, she answered ‘all questions satisfactoril; avoided all kind of exciting comment or | criticism, and in fact almost every club she addressed presented the most press- ing invitations that she return and give a more detailed talk on the interesting topics, to charge an admitance price 1f she wished and give the proceeds to the Englewood School, in which she. is so interested. Mrs. Morrow frequently talked about Mexico and gave some of the recipes for those prized Mexican | dishes and told of the excellent results in home decoration possible through the textiles and rugs of the southern | republic. It was altogether a new, . _1930—PART THREE. fashion in political campaigning, but a most effective one. * ok ok % Miss Amy Johnson, the plucky you: Briton who completed a mfl: flight (r;:"n London to Port Darwin, in Australia, has set her native heath on fire with en- thusiasm over her exploits, When she returns to the quiet port of Hull she will in a smaller way receive all the adulation which was Col. Lindbergh's when he came back from his solo voy- age to Paris. Less than a year and a half ago Miss Johnson was filling the duties of private secretary to one of Hull's leading ship owners and what practice she had in flylni was obfained in getting up at daylight to try her luck on a commercial ficld and burning the midnight oil to get the theoretical knowledge. Now she holds the record for a lone flight over India, but fell five days short of another voyage made from London to the Australian conti- nent. Every sort of honor has been bestowed upon her, even the title cf “Dame” by the King in distributing his recent birthday honors, and for the nonce she is the most famous aviatrix of the world. She is now the guest of the premier of Australia at Canberra, the new capital. En route home, which will be by steamer, she has invitaitons to stop off at every port of note. Miss Johnson used the gypsy moth type in her flight and as the Prince of Wales uses the same, the royal family was especially interested In her perform- ances. New York Social Set Lured by Offerings In Summer Schedules Register Shows Increase in Travel Abroad and in Bookings at Inland and| Seashore Resort: . NEW YORK, July 5.—Summer resorts apparently are not going to be affected | by the crash in Wall Street as much as the Winter ones were, judging by the Summer social register just issued, which shows an increase in travel abroad, an increase in the inland and seashore resorts and the number of yachts in commission.
