Coat Salon, Third Floor Hostesses in BY PAULINE A. FREDERICK. | When the architect has finished his | blueprint, and the mason has placed | the last stone, there is much more left to be done—if that building is a home. | To this belief, Mrs. Robert Patterson Lamont adheres with conviction; for she points to the words of Edgar Guest, “It takes a heap o livin' in a house to make it home,” as the “open sesame” to happiness, Mrs. Lament is like one who weaves a rich, rare tapestry. She takes the different threads of human experience with which she comes in contact, tests them for quality and durability, some- times modifies their coloring a bit 50 as best to suit her purposes and then deftly weaves them into her masterpiece her home. | She has been at this task of weaving | for some years now, and the public duties to which she has fallen heir as the wife of the Secretary of Commerce are not unduly interfering with it. In fact they have given her a broader field from which to draw work materials than she has known heretofore, for new experiences have been brought her way. And so, the attractive tan brick build- ing on Kalorama road, with its case- ment windows and gabled roof, is a home in the true sense of the word to the Robert Patterson Lamonts. ok % % Just the other day, this cabinet hostess sat in her library conversing with a guest. It was a cozy library— one in which you might pull some timely book from the shelf, settle into the massive depths of & rose-color club chair drawn up before the fireplace— or prop great, puffy pillows on the sofa behind your back and “be off” in the twinkling of an eye to the realm of poesy or prose. There was art in the library, too— for the paneled walls were literally covered with neatly framed etchings. “My husband’s hobby,” Mrs. Lamont explained But it was to the lady herself that attention was drawn. Her cordiality and kindliness make friends feel that | this is one home where “the latch- string is out,” and the casual visitor is not denied this same reception Mrs. Lamont is not very tall. Her wavy, bobbed hair is snow-white, her eves are blue—a blue that was reflected in the modish chiffon tea gown she ‘wore. Refreshing lines of humor sparkled through her conversation as she alluded to interesting incidents, and expressed some of her ideas on various subjects. An alertness revealed her knowledge of the things about which she spoke. * x x * Gertrude 'Trotter, the present Mrs. Robert Patterson Lamont, was born just on the other side of the “Father of Waters,” at Davenport, Towa. Most of her education was received at an Episcopal school, St. Catherine’s Hall. | As 8 young girl she revealed artistic | talents which have been fostered some- | { what_throughout her entire life since | that time. | She was especially fond of drawing | and painting when in school, and mak- ing portrait studies was her favorite hobby. Now, she still occasionally | sketches, but time is at such a premium that her occupation with things artistic | must necessarily be occasional. | This Miss Trotter met Robert Patter- | son Lamopt for the first time at the home of mutual friends in Chicago on the day following the present Com- merce Secretary's graduation from the | University of Michigan. Their interest | in each other, however, did not become | “gerious” until sometime later’ when they met again, after Gertrude Trotter's return from an absence for some time | from the “Windy City." | There are three children in the family of the Secretary of Commerce. Robert Patterson Lamont, jr., owns & cntle’ ranch in Colorado at the present time. The former Miss Dorothy Lamont is | the ‘wife of Chauncey Belknap, a New | York attorney. The former Miss | Gertrude Lamont, the youngest member of the family, became the bride last May of Charles Saltzman of New York. “And, of course, there are grand- children,” Mrs. Lamont sald with be- | coming pride. | At that moment little 4-year-old | Louise Belknap and her brother Robert | were upstairs in the nursery, having come to visit with their grandparents for a short time. Robert Patterson, 3d, and John Hop- kins Lamont are learning to be little | ranchers” in Colorado. When Mr. Lamont was given the position of Secretary of Commerce by | President Hoover he was holding the position of president of the American Steel Foundries of New York and Chi- cago, with headquarters in the latter city. Since coming to Washington to live Mrs. Lamont has formed a very definite impression of the city. “I love Washington,” she declared | with feeling. “L think it is the finest city in the world—and the nicest place to live. It certainly spoils one for liv- | ing anywhere else.” * o ox o To supervise directly the affairs of | her own household is one of Mrs. | Lamont's cardinal principles of domes- | ticity. Even though a busy cabinet lady, sne does her own markeling. | Three times a week Mrs. Lamont journeys to the stalls of tempting food- | stuffs displayed at t market at Fifth | and K streets, where she has regular merchants from whom she buys the food for her table People often ing can take time to go to mark she feels that four hours a week is not too much time to give to this phase of her home management. Entertaining rather extensively is one | of the pleasant duties which become the lot of all hostesses in Washington's official life, according to Mrs. Lamont. And she is not lax in this responsibility. But her greatest pleasure lies in pre- siding over small dinner parties, for she feels that they offer a better opportunity for conversation and are naturally less formal than the larger parties. | Of course, the Lamonts have large b, such as the customary New | Year day reception, which is usually observed by all the small social functicns ch they tender are much in the majority. | In addition to her entertaining, and occasional art work, Mrs. Lamont has a number of other inte One thing she ys particularly is interior deco- rating. ‘The library is one result of her | efforts. And as you look about it you immediately concede her ability in this field. The adjoining drawing room was added to the home under Mrs. Lamont's direction. And you step through a cun- ning archway to a spacious salon, attractively set with rich, warm-color furnishings, which looks out over a sloping terrace to Rock Creek Park. Your first impression of her ability is by this time more than confirmed. * % ok x Mrs. Lamcnt also rides. The bridle- ways of Rock Creek Park lure her fre- | quently, and she regards with rare good | nature any little “mishaps” which may | go with the sport. For example, she had had a little experience only that morning, which she regarded humor- ously. “I was riding along one of the paths when I decided to ‘ford’ the creek,” she laughed. “I meant to find out the depth before I took the horse into it. | But almost before I knew what was happening he had plunged in and as a result I was wet to the top of my rid- ing boots.” There is still another interest which occuples some of Mrs. Lamont’s atten- tion—that is writing. It was difficult to extract any information from her on this subject, but she did confess to ol e, e does B S R THE SUNDAY Women in Official Life Interesting Interviews With Prominent Washington MRS.

At that time she had an unusual opportunity to do some writ- ing. besides canoeing. reading and per- f-rming an occasional experiment in cooking. | ook | But to return to Mrs. Lamont’s con- | victions as to a family and home “Good citizenship begins like charity— | at home, she affirmed with great | carnestness. I feel that if & woman | is an Interested mother she will realize the truth of this, and the importance of it, too.

BRIDE OF begin the process of good training. ’ “At least, this is a sound philosophy. and one which, if worked out, would, I believe, help to raise the standards of | citizenship,” she averred. From the “front line to speak, came this counsel; for its author is “next door” to the Govern- ment and knows that some deficiencie: in the great machinery of democrac: can be laid at the door of poor citizen ship. Then, too, this same training| that she had advised is one of the color- | ful threads Mrs. Lamont has been en- | deavoring all these years to work into| the pattern of her tapestry. * x % % | “Should a woman who is married maintain a professional activity in some | subject outside her home?” | Mrs. Lamont did not hesitate when this question was put to her. “A woman's first dutles,” she replied, “are to care for her husband, home and family. These are the things she as-| sumes when she marries. If after they are cared for she still has time left, I think it is all right for her to have a professional outside interest.” | Throughout all of Mrs. Lamont's words had run the theme in which she is chiefly interested — weaving a real home. To the interested observer there is ample evidence that her task is bearing fruit. But she is not resting on the laurels—hfe is going on and as her deft fingers move through the loom strings, Mrs. Lamont is still “weav— | weav—weaving wonderful things.” trenches,” so | Bilgrmage Theoush * Georgetown's Old Gardens | The committee in charge of the an- nual Georgetown Garden Pilgrimage announces that the following gardens have definitely been day, April 22, the gardens opened are | those of Mrs. Frank Bright, Mrs. H. | H.

Happy marriage isn't a matter Character counts here as everywhere Lots of men still want real wor quainted is a good thing. YOUNG woman named Mary | has perhaps studied modern methods of supersalesmanship to | good effect. Mary is a waltress, | 21 years old, and is described as pretty enough for a show. She re- cently broadcast an offer in the news- | papers for the “right man” who will advance $10,000 for the support of her old parents and who will receive as a | part of this transaction her own hand | in marriage. | After we women who were born in the decorous eighties have time to catch our breath over this performance, it is highly possible that quite a few of us are going to say in simple admiration, | “Good for you, Mary! All good luck to | ou!” T%Good luck isn't the phrase. Happy | marriage isn't & matter of luck, except in unusual cases. Character counts here as everywhere else, and Mary has al- ready demonstrated herself to be a girl | of courage, imagination and humor. For humor isn't only a question of | laughing when somebody sits down | where there isn't any chair. Humor is best defined as a sense of proportion, and the keener and more exquisite one's sense of proportion, the funnier life looks. MARY sees life humorously, one is sure of that. She knows that there are scores of men, hundreds of them, who really want pretty, young, clever, willing wives, but who are too | shy, or too slow, or too far away, or too much out of things generally, to be able to meet marriageable girls. She’s had 150 offers already, by the | way. And note—these are not from fortune hunters. Every one of these | 150 aspirant husbands knows that Mary | | hasn't & “penny, that, on the contrary, | he himself will have to put up $10,000 | as a guarantee of good faith. | | Well, why not? Mary doesn't have to marry any one of them if she doesn't want to. She doesn't have to judge by letter. She has picked two as the most attractive, but even after she has met them she only has to say “No." She has already extended her acquaintance | with marriageable men by 150—it may | be a thousand by this time—and no harm done. IN France Mama and Papa look over the field of eligibles, and even when the one they select isn't particularly attractive to Marie, she has been edu- cated to realize that he is suitable in rank, fortune, social standing, family. And she marries him. In Ireland, when a lad is starting off to make his fortune in America, it is not at all uncommon for him to an- | nounce that he will take a wife with | him, and to have one of the laughing, | courageous neighborhood girls who is | attending his farewell party volunteer | for the job. She may only have met ! him that evening, but she knows all | about him—his cousins, his county, his | faith, his fortune, or rather lack of | | fortune. And many of these marriages } are happy. In all these cases women take in- finitely greater chances of happiness than Mary took, s taking. Why shouldn't men and women take a lit- | tle trouble to meet each other, when | both frankly admit that they hope some day to find mates? * x x x ‘WH‘ENEVE'R nice girls write me that | they want to marry, and know themselves capable of happy and suc- cessful wifehood and motherhood and | home-making, and whenever I quote | them in these columns, hundreds of | men—no, I don't mean a few men, or | {10 men, but hundreds of men—write | me, asking for the chance to meet them. Naturally it is out of the ques- tion for me to answer such appeals, and the boys' letters are burned un- | answered, as those of the girls l]ready‘ have been. But it is pitiful not to do anything about it; so often the girls | sound fine and honest, and the men | are so capable of taking care of them, and want the chance so badly! | For instance, there are two young | women doing social work in a Massa- chusetts factory town. One is 27 and | the other they are sisters, and the snapshot they sent me was of two pret- ty girls, in broad Summer hats and white frocks, standing in a fleld of wheat. There are two men in the world who would be very rich to get these sisters; they cook, they ride, they drive a car, they read, and best of all, they have warm hearts. | * x o % THE proof of the last statement is | that they gave up good positions * xox ox | * ok k% about home making, children, gardens, budgets; women who aren't goin into matrimony for money, position and opportunities to meet other men. Unless marriage is going to suffer general shipwreck we must do all we can to reduce it to lines of common sense and modern demands. It seems to me that anything that gets fine men and women ac- | waste and drink and jazzing and road all we can to reduce it to lines of common sense and modern demands— and Mary has taken a step in the right direction. Mary says, tacitly: | “I am young, human, burdened. I'm going 1o marry some day, i I'm to live the life of a normal woman, and I'd like & partner now; some one who can help me wit dad and mother and to whom In return I'll give every- | thing that I can of love and com- panionship, home and future.” In my native city they recently put through a law that a marriage license n't good unless it's dated three days arlier than the marriage. They did this to block night-club and jazz-party weddings. from which both bride and bridegroom awakened in the morning with only a dazed sense of what it was all about and immediately taxied to_the divorce court Honestly, isn't what Mary is doing a lot better than that? I'd infinitely rather have a daughter of mine face facts simply, as she has, than stupefy herself into a night club love match with nothing but a moment’s passion to justify it.
