In Capital Letters By Mona Dugas Expected any day—probably by the end of the week at the latest—are the newly appointed Minister of New Zealand and Mrs. Walter Nash. In- dicative of the importance New Zealand attaches to its new Legation here is the appointment of Mr. Nash as Minister, His position in his country’s government was second only to that of the Prime Minister. He was Deputy Prime Minister, acting as head of the government when the Prime Minister was away, and held several portfolios in the New Zealand cabinet, including those of Minister of Finance and Minister of Customs. Described as & “human dynamo” and s “wizard at work,” the new Minister, who 1s near President Rooseveit's age, was the man who a few years ago obtained a loan from England, despite the fact few people thought he would be able to negotiate the deal for his government. * ®x * % The Morris Hadleys, two of the wittiest conversationalists and most charming people tc eome out of New York, are spending most of their time in Washington these days, for Mr. Hadley is with the Office of Facts and Figures. They have not closed their New York home, for their four children are remaining there and going to school, but Mrs. Hadley journeys here every Tuesday and remains until Priday and Mr. Hadley goes to New York almost every Saturday and remains until Sunday evening, Mrs. Hadley is the former Katherine Blodgett, daughter of Mr. John Blodgett of Grand Rapids. She and her husband were honor guests at the small dinner given Tuesday evening by the Henry Parsons Erwins. Mrs. Erwin is Mrs. Hadley's step-aunt. Mr. Hadley, one of New York’s prominent lawyers, is the son of the late President Hadley of Yale University. During the last war Morris Hadley was one of the youngest majors in the Army. * % * " ‘The Pirst Secretary of the Netherlands Legation, Dr. H. R. van Houten, and his pretty blond wife are entertaining at cocktails this evening “after 6” in their home in Westmoreland Hills. s This year's observation of the President’s birthday anniversary has caused much confusion because the officials in charge have named it the “diamond jubilee” celebration President Roosevelt has received a num- ber of messages congratulating him on looking so young at the age of 75. Since the President is only 60, there have been numerous queries as to why its & “diamond jubilee”—but the birthday celebration headquarters informs us that a diamond anniversary may be anywhere from 60 to 75, and is not restrained to the latter number, as is the general belief. *x % Mrs. Joseph Leiter is one of the workers at the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines’ Club, which is having a very successful membership drive these days. Mrs. Leiter will be cashier at the club Saturday and has donated the music for the dance that will be held there that evening. Many new and prominent names have been added to the 1ist of civilians interested in helping the club either with their services or with monetary donations. LR Mrs. Emil Schram, who made many friends here while her husband was chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corp., has returned to New York after an all too brief visit here. A flurry of parties was given for her during her stay—and she has promised friends to return for a longer stay in a month or so. Miss Stanton to Wed Mr. F. L.
