S8OCIETY. 5,000 Here for Institute Of Government Shiver - At Roosevelt Lawn Fete Fur Coats and Heavy Shoes in Order As Delegates Attend Party and Hear President Speak \ By KATHARINE BROOKS. Fur coats, umbrellas and heavy shoes were the order of the day when the President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a garden party yesterday for the nearly 5,000 delegates to the first National Institute of Government con- ducted by the Women's Division of the Democratic National Committee. However, only the fur coats and heavy shoes were needed, for the Weather Man held off the rain, but kept the chill wind and overcast sky. Guests were asked for 4:30 o'clock, but by the appointed hour the north end of the south lawn was well filled and those who have done considerable sight seeing between the sessions of the institute took ad- vantage of the chairs and made themselves as comfortable as possible. Others took chairs nearer the Marine Band, seated on a platform in front of the fountain, and enjoyed the music. The gay red coats of the Marine uniforms matched the red in the striped tents and marquees where re- freshments were served. Mrs. Roosevelt Speaks; White House Opened. Shortly before 5 o'clock Mrs Roosevelt, with several guésts, in- cluding Miss Nancy Cook and Miss Molly Dewson, appeared on the south portico and the President's wife made a brief and gracious speech of welcome. She expressed regret that it was impossible for her to shake hands with each guest, but said that after the President addressed them the White House would be opened for all who had not already seen the interior. The | President also gave a cord avi tation at the close of his short | talk by saying “And now, come in | and visit.” Mrs. Roosevelt, after the Presi- dent left the portico, made her way | down the steps to the lawn to mingle with her guests and per- haps to partake of the refresh- | ments. However, the two aides who escorted her were unable to | keep the eager multitude back and | <« her progress toward the tents and marquees was slow and unsuccess- | ful. Before the President’s wife covered more than 200 feet it was hecessary for the aides to surround | her and escort her back to the| house. And through it all she; #miled and nodded to the waving throng. She looked particularly | well in a very becoming wool dress | of Eleanor blue with a long coat of the same material which had | bands of the same shade woven with fine red squares. The coat had a hood in the back and was made on straight lines. Her hat was of the darker shade known as Anna blue and hat and was Jockey shaped. Guests Wear Badges Bearing State Names. The thousands of guests repre- gented as many walks of life as the States from whence they came. | Each had a badge with the name of the State, some with badges bearing the name of Roosevelt, and few were | without at least an orchid, a spray or gardenias, or a single rose. Scores shivered in spring coats while others were more comfortable in fur. Be- najority of the guests real- Roosevelt was coming down to the lawn, scores were rush- | ing into the White House and in | almost the twinkling of an eye the | portico was crowded and even the large and spacious rooms in the mansion were uncomfortably full with eager visitors. A total of 3,800 had passed through the east entrance by 5:30 o'clock and, although it was an hour after the time appointed many were still arriving. They enjoggd “the fruit punch and cakes, but missed both the President and their hostess. Mrs.V'Barnard Bride Of Mr. H. S. Giddings Mrs. David H. Fenton of the Wardman Park announces the mar- | riage of her daughter, Mrs. Flor- ence Fenton Barnard, to Mr. H. Star Giddings of New York.

ISOBEL. Answer—Your fiance is quite right | in stressing the importance of nl woman have women friends. It is the women who make the wheels go | around socially, and any one who | does not have some feminine con- | nection is very likely to have a pretty thin time of it. Especially after marriage when a | girl is removed from the cama- | raderie of the office to her own house where her husband is about | the only man she sees, when there | are no more beaux, very few parties, | not much running around at night, is she sunk if she has no girl friends to go about with, no women'’s clubs to interest her, no bridge foursomes to belong to, no hen luncheons to 80 to. Evidently you are one of the women who have never thought it | worth while to cultivate their own sex, so you have a haml job before you. But you can make friends with women by being friendly, showing you are interested in them, and taking as much trouble to please them as if they were men. Dear Dorothy Dix—I am very much in love with a girl who loves Lonesome Life me hesitate about marrying her: I have been brought up in a home in He says that women run which the women were all good | Berkeley.

The furni- need sweeping, everything is topsy- turvy and no one knows where to find anything. If this girl would be happy with a girl of this kind, and if I would be ashamed to take any- body home with me? JAMES, with her that you could shut your eyes to her sloppy housekeeping. But neither chances are very good, because a girl who has been brought up by a slovenly mother with slovenly habits is pretty sure to think it is & waste of time and effort to sweep under the bed, or hang up clothes. Nor is it likely that the man who has been reared in a spick-and-span home can ever accustom himself to one that looks | as if a cyclone had just passed | through it. As a matter of fact, men put more stress on neatness and cleanliness than women do. Men are a lot more particular about their collars being clean than women are about their own neck- wear being immaculate, and there is no fault that men cannot con- done in women easier than they can their being slovenly in their appearance and in their house- keeping. After all, if there is any happiness in marriage, we must find it in our homes. And so I should certainly advise a man to think long and carefully before he married a girl whose housékeeping would get con- tinually on his nerves.

James, who is being boosted by friends of the Repub- lican presidential nomination, in- sists he isn't seeking the honor— but would accept it if offered. “If the delegates find I'm the available man to carry on the fight this year, I'd be untrue to myself, | my party and my country if I didi not accept the responsibility and the duty to carry on the fight this year,” he told newsmen yesterday.

Gov. James will be a member of the delegation. He spoke after a visit from an- other possible candidate, Senator Robert A. Taft of Ohio, and Joseph N. Pew, Pennsylvania oil man, who is prominent in party affairs. Gov. James said he “didn't make any promises” to Mr. Taft, and the Senator “didn’t ask me for any.” Editor of Daily Worker Convicted of Libel By the Associated Press.

Mr. Liggett was shot by gunmen in 1935, the day before he was to urge before the Legislature the im- peachment of the late Gov. Floyd B. Olson of Minnesota. Hathaway was paroled in the cus- tody of his counsel, Edward Kuntz, until Monday, when he must pro- | plantation. s A—13 Dancing Class Ends Season Mrs. Parker West And Committee Receive Guests The Friday Evening Dancing Class closed its season last evening with a gay dinner dance.
