Politics Now Society With Back From Southern Trip Although Not Officially Campaign;ng, First Lac]y Makes Deep Impression Gann Has 5uccessful Wcstern Tl‘l’p. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Direct or indirect campaigning is Whe paramount interest in Washington | Just now, and how could it be other- | wise with the Capital the meeting place of the great political personages of all parties. The First Lady of the | Land has furnished the best possible | example of the indirect method of fostering the success of the Repub- ficans i the South during her hus- bend’s campaign, and wherever she went In the Southland she had follow- dng not second to that of the Chief Executive in his campaign year. Not to be Southern, Mrs. Hoover is exactly #he type of womanheod to enlist zhej interest of Southern women. She is | direct, soft-spoken, altogether unpre- | tentious and carries out the old South- | em tradition of confidence in one's own standing. She perhaps never men- | tioned the subject of politics on her entire eventful journey, the visit being purely one of much-needed rest and | yecreation, but wherever she went she | was received with the warm-hearted | hospitality that glows best south of $he Mason-Dixon line Having just closed a terribly stren- | mous season with all of her waking | hours filled with official duties. it must indecd have been pleasant to survey the leisurely ways and hear the charm- a country where and the leisure followed out of going about to cially to be seen.

Now, as for Mrs. Edward Everett Gann—she is doing direct political campaigning under the eves of the Re- publican League and with their warm approval. Her Western trip to De- troit was a marked success as will eertainly be her speaking trip to Bos- ton. She is perhaps the most astute woman politician in the Capital, and when one reads of her making her debut as a public campaigner in this sdministration, it certainly refers to her debut under the Republican Na- tional League, for about 1912 she be-[ ame campaign manager for her Beother, Viee President Curtis, and led Engrossing Mrs. Hoover —Mrs. Edward Everett him to victory. The politicians of her own State place her high up if not at the head of women politicians, In Detroit, Mrs. Gann found that Mr. Henry Ford had placed at her disposal a large and luxurious automobile with a skillful chauffeur to take her about during her day there. A luncheon with a social as well as a political phase, at- tended by several hundred persons, gave the trip its only personal feature. When she leaves Washington tomorrow for Boston, she will be joined at Providence, R. I, by her niece, Mrs, Webster Knight, 2d, who will accompany her to Massa- chusetts, On the return trip home- {ward she will stop off at Providence with Mrs. Knight for a few hours’ visit. — | Several cabinet women and many other notables will be guests tomorrow night of the Women's National Press Club at the Willard Hotel, when the woman writers will give their annual feature dinner. Mrs. Gann’s absence from the Capital keeps her from the annual dinner for the first time since the club instituted the custom, The newest bride in the club is Mrs. Albert G. Simms, who until her marriage in Colorado Wednesday to the former Representative from New Mexico, was Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, the ro- mance starting on the floor of the House while she was a member from Illinois. | Many of the dinner parties with an official phase have been given in em- bassies and legations for the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson, who have several such events still remaining on | their calendar. The Ambassador of | Cuba and Senora de Ferrara, who were | their hosts Wednesday night, have gone | South %or a little visit, and interesting | programs in New York are taking sev- eral diplomats away for a short time Much less formal are the various studio | teas, and nothing could have been more charming than that of Eban Commins | at the Dunthorne Galleries Wednesday afternoon when Mrs. Harlan: Fiske Stone, wife of Associate Justice Stone of the Supreme Court, who in some way | allies herself with all art and music | Interests in the Capital, was at the tea | table. Assisting her were Mrs. Willilam D. Connor and Mrs. Francis G. New- | Jands and Mrs. Willlam Barrett Ridgely, both members of the old social regime in Washington, and Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes.
