SOCIETY. About Well-Known Folk ol & ) Bookg, Art, Politics Once Again the Liberty Bell Peals Forth. Judge Mack Launched Franklin Roosevelt on Career. BY ROBERT CRAWFORD. REAT day in the mawnin’ Liza, when that Liberty Bell over in Philadelphia peals out to- morrow night, Gen. Washing- ton, Mr. Jefferson, Mr. John Adams and Mr. Benjamin Franklin, and all | those old gentlemen who used to be 1 over there in Independence Hall, will certainly rise up to see what it is all about. Postmaster General Farley when he welcomes the Governors to Independence Hall, will have to tap the bell lightly, because its cracked and can't stand much. Such excitement! Mrs. Emma Guf- fey Miller, National Committee woman ~ from Pennsylvania, and a sort of major-domo in arranging for the en- tertainment of the women expected at the convention, has been commuting to the Quaker City during the past week; and that stunning Mrs. Borden Harriman, who is the official hostess of the convention, who is capable of writing a whole platform by herself, and is simply tops when it comes to | receptions, has everything arranged for | a grand-dame gorgeous time. Mrs. Miller Expected To Second Nomination. Mrs. Miller who seconded the nomi- nation of President Roosevelt, in Chi- cage in 1932 and who will doubtless say a few words for him this timg, is the original sponsor for Philadelphia, as the convention city this year. At " the meeting of the Democratic Na- | tional Committee, at the Mayflower | . last Spring, she stole the show from | . Vice President Garner, Postmaster | General Farley and Senator MacAdoo, who had decided the convention was | 10 g0 to Chicago. Even Gov. Talmadge | of Georgia, who was holding back, sur- rendered to her enthusiasm and joined in with her. She is very much like her brother, | Benator Guffey, when it comes to do- | ing things, and has the gift of enthus- ing a crowd—wait until you hear about the scrappel breakfast—; woman's in- tuition does not come into her reckon- but Mrs. Robinson, wife of the Senate Deniocratic leader, Joseph Taylor Robinson, is wedded to her old-fash- ioned heme there which is in walking distance of the Capitol. This is Mrs. Robinson’s thirty-fourth year as a Winter resident of Washington. she} is a knowing politician, and a cam- | paigner of parts, having at one time | directed the Senator's campaign in | person when he was unable to get home until just the day before elec- | tion. She did her job well, for he has been coming back ever since. Senator Robinson is slated to be the permanent chairman of the Philadel- phia convention, and Mrs. Robinson expects to go over—in fact her charm- ing, natural, democratic way of meet- ing people has been the means of gathering around their hearth here on of the most interesting and dis- tinguished social circles in the Capital, and she has been a convention favorite for years. As the wife of a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Com- | mittee, she is a great favorite with the | diplomatic corps, and on her days at home, there are always a number of foreigners present. In traveling over the world with her husband, she has collected a lot of delicious recipes for foreign cookeries and at her small dinners is often able to surprise a guest from Europe, the Near East or | the Scandanavian countries, with one of his native, favorite dishes. Scrappel Penetrates Into Political Circles. One of the big events of this week is to be Mrs. Miller’s scrappel break- | fast at the Bellevue-Stratford, Phila- delphia, when she will gather around her board the women delegates and distinguished women visitors to the convention. She claims that scrappel was the means on one occasion of her winning over a refractory dele- gate who was standing out for some point she wished to gain. The ‘dele- gate was invited to luncheon where scrappel was served, she thought it delicious. unique, and on finishing the THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., JUNE 21, 1936—PART THREE.

Grant had received his sec- ond nomination at Philadelphia, and told the committeemen that 90 per cent of the money subscribed to the fund to bring the convention to the City of Brotherly Love, had been con- tributed by Republicans—and then said she shuddered to think what those Republican gentlemen would do with that money if it were returned to them. Judge Mack Launched President On His Political Career. The Philadelphia convention seems to harbor the memories of 1932 at Chi- cago, and it is probable that Judge John E. Mack of New York, who some 26 years ago launched President Roose- velt upon his political career which ended in the Whif® House, will nomi- nate the Democratic candidate for President next week. It was in 1910, that the judge look- ing around for a likely candidate for the State Senete, from the Hyde Park district, bethought him of the young farmer who was interested in many of the reforms that were to be thrashed out in the coming session and who had shown not only interest but ability in the management of his mother's farm lands, went over and talked the matter over with him and Franklin Roosevelt's nomination and election was the result of that visit. It was at that time that the late Louis Howe, came into the picture and ever after remained the devoted friend of the Fresident. . In 1912, Mr. Roosevelt was again | nominated for the State Senate, but owing to an illness from a fever, was unable to do any campaigning. It ~was then that Mr. Howe, carried on the campaign for him and he was re- elected. Judge Mack is not as fond of | deep sea fishing as the President, buli when it comes to reeling off a line | for the trout of the Catskill Moun- | tains, he has no rival.

If so cherish it, for it is becoming scarcer every day and in Recent Bride | perpetuated | by travelers in this country; there are several beautiful examples— three platters and a lovely washstand set consisting of a pitcher and bowl with an English scene of castle, moun- tains. a flowing stream and two figures It seems Stafford- shire pottery was not known in this country until 183§; up to that time much of the pottery imported here was from Enoch Wood of Liverpool By those who are not connoisseurs the two are confused. Perhaps the most complete history of means of transportation in the United States, in the early part of the nineteenth century, is commemo- rated on china. Steamboats, loco- motives, covered wagons and stage coaches were all pictured on platters and whole sets of china which came from the Staffordshire potteries. In the earlier time, with a view to pro- moting trade with the colonies and later the States of the American Re- public, the potters eround Liverpool began to decorate dinner sets and other china with views taken from America itself. An authority says that many of these views have Leen in no other way. The views were taken from sketches maae' con- | temporary prints and sometimes from pencil and oil sketches made by artists | sent by the posters. The newly in- ventea “camera-obscura” or “camera- | lucida” were also used for making | studies. A very popular pattern were picturesque views of the Hud- son River, the coats of arms of the original thirteen States. the fa- mous ships Constitution and Bon Homme Richard and other historic scenes of the Revolution, with por- traits of Gen. Washington, La Fayette, Pranklin and other leaders of the day. A very popular example of early Staffordshire in this country is a dinner set depicting the log cabin of William Henry Harrison in 1840, when he was campaigning for the presi- | dency—there were and maybe now Left: Miss Roberta Lee McKim of Luray, whose engage- ment to Mr. James Click Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emory Davis of Galax.
