Horsewomen among the cabinet ladies include Mrs. Stimson and Mrs. Adams, wives re- spectively, of the secretary of state and the secretary of the navy. Mrs. RRay Lyman Wilbur was a daring horsewoman until she was badly in- jured in a fall several years ago. The home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Leiter on DuPont circle was the scene of a happy party late in the week when their son Thomas spon- sored a dance for Miss Caroline Roebling and Alexander Hagner, whose engagement was announced March 16. Miss Roebling is a daugh- tér of Mrs. Robert O'Brien. Young Mr. Hagner is the son of the pres- ent Mrs. Adelbert Potter of Green- wich, Conn., who, before her mar- riage to Alexander Hagner, was Miss Anna Rice Lawrence, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. August Nicho- las Lawrence.

APRIL FOOL PARTIES HELD IN NEW YORK Society Enjoys Pranks—Debu- tantes Are Lannched BY ADELAIDE KERR New York, April 5 P—The social sophisticates, who love to be fool- ed it the fooling is clever enough, had many a laugh at each other’s expense this week. The tricks they played at the April Fool's Gaieties did much to brighten the drabness of Lent. And when they turned from rub- ber matches and fake telegrams to more serious social business they Jkept the greater part of that pat- tering along in a light strain. The party which Mr. and Mrs. James Quirk gave at the Bucking- ham in honor of Mr. and Mrs Charles Norris Tuesday evening was devoted to April first frivolity. Ev- erybody was asked to come as some- bhody eclse, and nobody was intro- duced by his own name. Mr. Norris appeared as Brigham Young. Mrs. Norris, who is known to the literary world as Kathleen Norris, arrived as Madame Illinor Glyn, whose cxposition of “It” has caused many a debutante to eye her- self wistfully in the mirror. Irvin| Cobb varied the procedure by com- ing as himself, while the hostess, who was known on the screen as Mae Allison, appearcd as Mae West in “Diamond Lil.” While the guests assembled a fake | radio—which proved to be sound-| less—was turned on. A colored or- chestra struck up the preliminar: strains for a broadcast and M| Quirk and Ray Long as “Amos 'n Andy” gave a fake broadcast of their dialogue behind a screen. At ten o'clock the guests went into the dining room, which was decked as a modern night club, and served themselves in cafeteria style. Then they sat down at the tables, covered with checked gingham table cloths—only to find themselves con- fronted by rubber rolls, matches and candy. Part of the food, however, proved to be real and the diners searched it out for themselves. Among the other guests who at- tended the party were Mr. and Mrs. Kent Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Howard, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Moore and Prince Geno Orsini. | | Much of the more serious social business this week was devoted to launching the social ships at next vear's debutantes, and even of rig- ging the sails of those who will not make their bows for several seasons —a matter which now requires somc years of careful preparation. Mrs. Jorge Andre gave a dinner party on Tuesday evening at her Madison avenue apartment for her |ning gowns and tuxcdos MRS.

Later Mrs. Andre took her guests to the annual senior costume dance which Miss Adeline King Robinson gave at the Ritz Carlton. In honor of the Andre were the gown which her grandmother, the wife of Generai J. Watson Webb, wore at the court of Napoleon TIT. It was a frock of pale bluc brocade, embroidered in pearls, and, in keeping with its an- tiquity, Miss Andre wore her hair drawn low over her cars, with a cluster of curls falling over cach shoulder. Her guests were also in | fancy dress. occasion Miss ‘Weddings have blossomed forth in unusual Lenten numbers this week, the decorations of all of them re- flective of spring in the green and| flower tones of the bridal costumes. At the recent wedding of Mis Houe Hemenway and Blair Foulds, which society witnessed in the cathe- dral of St. John the Divine, the bride wore a white satin gown with an entire bodice of Alencon lace and short sleeves—a new vogue in bridal attire. | Her maid of honor chose a gown | of green figured muslin de soic| made With short puffed sleeves and | a short cape which swung from her | shoulders, while her bridesmaids were gowned in similar frocks in three shades of green chiffon. Their picture hats of horschair straw matched their gowns and they car- ried arm bouquets of tea roses. Another recent wedding caused a number of the smart folk to jour- | ney to Michigan this week for tlvcl nuptials of Miss Virginia Dryden | and Howard Ketcham which took | place at tho Memorial church in| Grosse Point. | At this ceremony the bride wore| a gown of ivory taffeta designed to| resemble a flower, with a ending In a puff at the hips and a skirt designed in long petal-like trips. Her maid of honor's frock was also in flower pattern. It was of hydrangea bluc taffeta. with a fitted bodice and a full skirt scal- loped and cdged with cream net. Her wide-brimmed hat was of na- tural leghorn and he# bouquet of blue iris ani snapdragons. ‘ | i The annual dinncr and hors show drew many of the fashionable to the riding club on Wednesda nigltt, for a rcunion of those ho lovers who have been sojourning at Aiken, S. C, and Palm Beach. About 150 guests attended the | dinner, where habits and derbies of | the riders mingled with formal eve- of their friends. Then the guests auntered into the are! to watelh the show in which Miss Adeline Moftett rode Day Raven, L. Ames Brown appcared on Kildare and Mrs. T. W. Durant put Lady Ham- ilton through her paces.

They cost the governments of their countries—Great Britain, Germany, France. Austria and Italy—some- thing like $500,000,000 to maintain. | 1t is difficult to estimate whether unemployment generally is increas- ing or decreasing. Comparing the figures for the last two years, un- employment in Germany and France has increased. in Austria and Jtaly it has decreased, and in Great Brit- ain there has been practically no change, although a slight tendency was shown. Great Britain and Germany the chief sufferers from this prob- lem, while France alone can be said to have a normal condition of unemployment., Here are the statistics for each of these countries for the last two years, Great Britain and Northern Ireland There were 000 unemployed people in Great Britain and North- ern Ireland on De r 30, 1929, as compared with 1 on De- cember 31, 1928. It is pointed out, however, that the total number of working people in 1929 was 12,100, 000, while in 1928 it was 11,580,000. Of the total number of unemploy- in 1929, 1,129,000 were men, were women and the re- boys and girls. In 1928 there were 1,113,000 unemployer men, 236,000 unemployed women and the remainder of the total was made up of boys and girls. During the financial which ended March 31, 1 . Great Britain and Northern Ireland pent 233,652, 0 dollars on these out-of-works, while already in the present fiscal vear ending March 31, 1050, 179,- 350,000 dollars have been spent in uncmployment benefits, generally and colloquially known as “the dole.” It is estimated that the govern- ment is paying out somcthing over §5,000,000 a week in doles which average around $6 per hecad plus allowances for familic: Certain authorities this unemployment increase are 1.5 ed contond that | dole tends to unemployment and point recent parliamentary legislation introduced by the Labor govern- | ment as supporting this belief. The unemployment insurance act provides; subject to certain excep- tions, for the compulsory insurance against unemployment of substan- employed persons.

This extension was_strenuously | but unavailingly fought by op- ponents of the dole, who tri-| unphantly pointed to the increasc in unemployment which immedi- ately followed its enactment. Labor circles, however. maintain that unemployment in Great Brit- ain and Northern Ireland is duc primarily to the poor economic of the country, princi- pally the coal-mining industry and | agricultyre. Germany There were 3,030,285 unemploy- ed in Germany at the end of De- cember, 1929, as compared with 2,-/ |741,795 at the end of December, | 1925, 1t Is pointed out, however, | include 52 per| cent seasonal industries. | Of the 1929 total 1,984,811 were benefits, | 210,240 recelving emer- | gency benefit for part time labor. In 1928 1,829,716 reccived this including 127,374 receiving cimergeney benefits. The German government, during 1929, pald out 1,200,000,000 mark in benefits, and in 1928, 1,000,000, 000 marks, the equivalent of $300.- | 000,000 and $250,000,000 respective- | ly. The average weekly hand-out| is about $5,000,000. | As in Great Britain therc are, proponents and opponents of the | dole. It is argued by some that| if‘the total sum paid in doles was| spent productively, only one-third of the number of unemployed could | find employment, while at the the number of unem- ployed who would accept work if | deprived of the dele is cstimated | fat 5 per cent. Austria | In December, 1929, there were in Austria, in cluding 86,396 in Vienna alene. as compared with 237,661, including| 91,212 in Vienna, in December, | 1928, Of these totals practically or form. The government paid out - 000,000 both in 1928 and 1929 in| unemployment benefits, and since | the average number of unemploy- ed is estimated at 250,000, the weekly dole per head is aboyt $2. At the present time there are| 360,000 witheut work in Austria. and it is forecast that the total for 1930 will be higher than in ‘Whether or not the dole tends to increase or decrease unemploy- | ment is a much debated point. Austrian industrialists and bank- ers claim that it increases unem ployment because it paralyses busi- ness and necessitates dismissals and the closing of factories. On the other hand, Socialists claim that the dole has no affect on the problem, which they say is due to increasingly bad economic con- ditions and other factors. taly | Ttaly had a monthly average of | 299,954 unemployed during 1929 compared with a monthly average| of 324,422 in 1928, Maximum unemployment in 19291 was reached in February when there were 489,247 out of work, and the minimum in June when| the total was 193,325. In 1928 the maximum was reached in January with 439,211, and the minimuym in July with 234,210. There is no system of ‘doles,” | as it is known in Great Britain. Unemployed people are helped under a form of compulsory insur- ance pajd evenly by employers and employees on the basis of the latter wages. These payments are affected through the Cassa Nazionale As- sicurazioni Sociali or National Bank on Social Insurances, which is a semi-governmental body.
