The Social Life of Cabimet Officers, The social rank of each Cabinet offic- er is reckoned according to his stani jing in the order of succession to the Presidency which is arranged accord- ing to the age of each executives department. The State Department having been | the first executive branch of the gov ernment created, the Secretary cf State is the official and social head ot | the Cabinet and the first of its mem- | | bers to succeed to the Presidency, in| |the event ofthe death of both Presi- | | nent and Vice-President. Ifthe Presid- ent, Vice-President and Secretary of State were all to die before their suc- ! cessors had been appointed the Secre-' tary of the lreasury would becone | President, because his is the second oldest of the executive departme its. | This right to succession extends in turn to the Secretary of War, Attoruey- | General, Postmaster-General, Secre- jtary of the Navy, and lastly to the Secretary of the Interior. This gradation thus indicates the social | rank of each Cabinet officer in his own circle.—The Ladies’ Hom: Journal for November. Miss I. T. Your questions were ans- | wered some time ago.
