She has personality with a capital *“p,” is daintily and well groomed, & frank, open manner and a desire to| help the other chap out, be he appli- cant for passport or just a news story. | Bhe: will tell you that she has been particularly fortunate in the men un- der whose guidance she has received | her training. First her master in the | department for many years was the | late beloved Alvin A. Adee, to whom many an American diplomat owed his | successful career, and to whom Mrs. | Shipley feels she is deeply indcbled; for the careful, painstaking training | which she received. Now she says she | has that prince of gentlemen, Mr.| Wilbur J. Carr, Assistant Secretary of State, as her immediate superior. Feminine Influence Still Is Evident. i The women—God bless '‘em—have secured many rights of citizens during | the past two decades and in industry, politics and business are holding many | positions formerly occupied by men, | but no matter to what freedom they have gradueted, there is always visible something of the eternal feminine sbout them in their conduct of affairs. On entering an office, whether in the Government or in the outside business world, one is immediately aware if the occupant be a woman, for the domestic instinct is always| visible in the arrangement and the small personal touches with which she surrounds herself. Now, Mrs. Shipley is not an exception to the rule. Her | charming old office overlooks the ex- ecutive offices of the White House and the south grounds. She says her eye is always on the lovely mansion—not that she expects to be a successor to the present occupant if the time ever comes for petticoats to occupy the chair of state, but that there is a restfulness in the scene that is sooth- ing Facing her desk is an enormous Victorian pier glass framed in walnut, which reflects the landscape as well s the visitor to whom she is talking, and on one side over an old mahog- any bookcase is a beautiful Oriental rug she found when snooping around the building. As a matter of fact, she says any antique she may have was simply a discard from some executive office. One or two exquisite colored etchings and lithographs presented to her by the artist, Arlent Edwards, hang near her desk. One of the love- liest is & colored etching of the head bf “Saska,” which reveals all the witchery of her elusive countenance, Thousands Are on Their Way to Europe. | In 1930 the passport division reached its peak, when 225.000 passports were issued. In 1931 the number dropped considerably, but rose again this year, when 23 per cent more passports were issued this month than in June, 1935. | Mrs. Shipley said the interesting thing was that all classes of travelers were going abroad in larger numbers, which showed that there must be more ready money in circulation. In September. 1935, she made a survey of passport and citizenship work in Europe, visiting all European ports except the Scandinavian. Mrs. Ship- | ley studied the various methods and rules for preventing fraud in the issu- arce of passports. the manner of filing the information and the amount of information kept. She was the only woman delegate from this country to The Hague in 1930, when the confer- ence was held for the codification of | international laws. There were four | other woman delegates from other | eountries to the conference. | One knows so little about the work | of the passport division and its ef-| fort to accommodate its service to the convenience of the citizens. Forin- stance, there are 3.300 clerks of courts who take applications; American con- sular officers, governors of territories, all of which are directed by Mrs. Ship- ley's division. The State Department Portraits. Mrs. Shipley says there is not a terested. After 20 years there she loves the historic side of the old place, | which is so beautiful in its «classic | architecture and decoration on the in- | side, and so “monstrously homely” on the outside, The portrait of President Washington, by Charles Willson Peale, | who is said to have painted the first President from life 14 times, looks down from the walls of the Western | European division. This portrait was purchased when John Quincy Adams was Secretary of State, and the tradi- tion is that it was enthusiastically | praised by the officials who still re- membered Washington. They would be sadly disappointed if they could see it now. In 1840 it was repaired and cleaned by a process that must have been very bad, for now it does no credit to the artist. The portraits of former Secretaries | scattered throughout the department are not all works of art, but time has kindly softened and mellowed some of the canvases. The portrait of Henry Clay by Edward Dalton Marchant, and that of John Quincy Adams by Jean Baptiste Adolphe Gibert, were said by the some time Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, “* * * the best that have ever been seen in the department.” The portrait of Hamilton Fish, Secre- tary in 1869, is not unlike his descend- ant, Representative Hamilton Fish. Discovery of State Department Catalogue of Art. On one of her still hunts for some historical bit of information which she had come across in her division | and wished to verify, Mrs. ship]zy; discovered a most interesting des- | criptive catalogue of the coilection of | portraits in the department. Mr. Adee had told her the two Healy portraits of Daniel Webster and Lord Ash- burton, which had always hung side by | side above the fireplace in the diplo- | matic anti-rocm—where ambassadors | and statesmen cool their heels while | ‘waiting to be ushered inta the presence | of the Secretary—must always remain in that position, as it was a sacred tradition of the department. It was the two portraits which caused the ‘treasure hunt for more mfomuum‘y pirations and sentiments of the sitter seemed to guide his hand, the colors became an animated . whole. The framing of the two portraits is alike; the figures seated in armchairs facing each other, the bits of landscape in the background and the touch of color in the upholstery and draperies are charming. Mr. Webster’s handsome face and wonderful, deep-set eyes show a feeling of satisfaction at the accomplishment of his task. In the portrait of Lord Ashburton a copy of the treaty lies on the table before him, showing the red seals of the United States and Canada. In this likeness the hands are especially noticeable for their strength and the beauty of the drawing. In a speech made in Faneuil Hall, Boston, in 1842, at a public reception given to Mr. Webster on his return there after the negotiations of the treaty of Washington, he spoke of the happy selection England had made in sending Lord Ashburton and the extreme good-will he exhibited to- ward this country. This is con- sidered one of Webster's greatest speeches. As a master of English style he was one of America's greatest orators.
