Secretary Mel lon Foregoes His Usual Sparse Meals to Entertain at Paris Dinners Breaking Bread Proves Potent Method of Win- ning Favor for Those Interested in Debt BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. That breaking bread is the most potent method of winning favor and power is shown by the eight-course luncheons given in Paris for those most interested in the President’s debt plan, as well as by the parties fed at the President’s Rapidan camp each week end. Secretary Mellon, who, despite his munificent fortune, diets himself in simple manner when living in his apartment on Massachuseets avenue, has had to underg> constant dinner parties in Paris of great length, both as to food and time. A sandwich and s glass of milk regales the Secretary sufficlently when he confines his activ- ties to Washington, but eight courses of unpronounceable concoctions the best French chefs have to offer and a dif- ferent wine with each course is win- ning the way for President Hoover in the French capital, even though he has to offer his Becretary of State and his Becretary of the Treasury and others as w sacrifice. There was & bit of the Old South superstition unfolded at the luncheon at the ministry of finance, plates being | lald for 13, which caused a general | scampering about when Finance Min- ister Plerre Etlenne Flandin bethought him of his spouse, Mme. Flandin, and rushing into his private apartment secured her as the fourteenth guest and brought her into the scene as the only woman present. Following the dinner and American custom, too, which needs must finish off each dinner party with some entertainment, M. Flandin took the entire party for a leisurely motor trip to Longchamps, where they watched | the races. President Hoover will give a lunch- eon at the White House this week ‘which means almost as much to Amer- icans as does the feasting in Paris, since it will be the pinacle of entertain- ment offered to the around-the-world fiyers, Wiley Post and Harold Gatty, who tomorrow afternoon will be guests of the National Press Club. The "Wash- ington Board of Trade will entertain these heroes at a banquet at the Wil- lard tomorrow night. Senator Hiram Bingham, chairman of the Senate Com- mittee on Territories and Insular Af- fairs and president of the National Aeronautic Association, will be a lead- ing speaker both at the banquet and at the Press Club function at the Wash- ington Auditorium. Mrs. Charles Gates Dawes, wife of the Ambassador to Great Britain, will sail for this country Wednesday to join members of her family in Evanston, Il and will undoubtedly pasy Washington at least a passing visit. She expected to sail some days ago, but as July 4 is the greatest holiday observed by Amer- icans in London and much of the pro- gram centers about the United States embassy, Mrs. Dawes remained there for the ceremonies. She and the former Vice President will return to London at the end of August. Plan. on July 9, will bring scarcely a ripple on the social waters of Washington, as at this season, with so many officials away and diplomats, too, seeking respite from Washington's heat whenever possible, will be celebrated with only a staff din- ner or something of that kind. The French will celebrate Bastile day, but in the same tame manner, and all dur- ing the month there will be a dearth of things social. ‘The best demonstrations that diplo- mats had of the real American July 4 was at Charlottesville, Va, yesterday when the 100th anniversary of President Monroe'’s death was commemorated. And at Towanda, Pa, where the King of Siam and his charming Queen were being shown how Americans of the “best set” can celebrate on Independ- ence day, Mr. Kaufman, United States Minister to Siam, who arnually cele- brates July 4, no matter vl.cre he hap- pens to be, neglected non- of the tra- | ditions that make the day dear to ma- ture men and women and the juvenile element who only think of the fireworks that accompany it. New Spanish Ambassador's Initial Embassy Party The Ambassador of Spain and Senora de Madariaga have as their house guest at the embassy the former's sis- ter, Senorita Plllar Madariaga, who will be with them for several days. The Ambassador and Senora de Ma- dariaga gave their first party at the embassy Thursday when they enter- tained informally the members of the legation staff. It was a farewell party to Count de Montefuerte and Senor Don Luis Calderon who will leave Washing- ton the first of next week and sall July 15 for Spain. Count de Montefuerte resigned as counselor of the embassy along Wwith the former Ambassador, Senor de Pa- dilla, at the fall of the Spanish king- dom, and has just been acting charge d'affaires until the arrival of Senora de Madariaga.
