WASHINGTON GAY
AFTER WAR WORK
Social Life at National Capital
Takes on Interest With
Prospect of Peace
With the signing of the armistice,
Washington put itself on a peace
basis quite of interna
tional conferences or peace parleys,
with the result that, even with a
closed White Jlouse and no official
program of what old-fashioned
people call state functions,' the na
tional capital is huving the gayest
winter of a decade.
Xot since the Taft Administra
tion, when everybody danced, from
the President and the Speaker of
the House to the midshipman from
Annapolis and cadet frdni West
Point, home for a brief holiday, lias
the city been so guy. One diplomat
lias spoken of "dinner parties rain
pant." The succession of debutante
teas, balls, small dances, and cotil
lions, undreamed of two months
ago, is now endless. Yet, despite an
evidence of extravagance in the
matter of dress, Ihere is still con
serve tiveness in food, which is one
of the lessons-the war taught us.
Although dinner parties of forty
and fifty covers are so usual as to
pass almost unnoticed, and each
new candidate for social honors
has had her time-honored tea as a
debut, dinners and teas are marked
by a less elaborate display of flow
ers, food and favors than before the
war.
Few Washingtoniana of today are
natives of the District of Columbia.
Society is constantly recruited from
every point of the compass to merge
into the gayetles of this Victory
Winter. Debutantes -who inherit
their claim to polite attention
through live and six generations or
District families and debutantes
who never saw the dome °f the
Capitol or portico of the White
House until three months ago are
dividing honors amicably, not only
with each other but with visiting
dignitaries of international Pr
ance and with the \
who, in the absence of the Chief
Executive, may be regarded as the
Chief Personage. There are no po
litical lines in entertaining The
Marshalis," as the Vice-President
and his wife arc called by the gicat
body of the capital's Vanity hair
"The Dadies of the Senate, an
organization of Senators wives, con
timms its war work activities in a
modified degree, with Mi & Phil
andev C. Knox, of Penns f"r
and Mrs Alice Pomerene, of
as the active aids of the Vice-Presi
dent s wife, but there is no doubt
that the work is secondary in
ing! on nowadays. Play is the °rae
of the dav. While scores of women
are still devoting themselves to on
teen work to classes in leconstruc
tfon and to work among the wound
ed who are coming into Washington
literally by the-Hoads. these ladies

changing their clothes three times

International Labor
Bureau Discussion
Scheduled For Today
By Associated Press
Paris. Feb. 6.—The peace confer
ence committee on international la
bor legislation has completed its
discussion of the British plan for an
international labor bureau. The
plan will be taken up, article by ar
ticle, to-day. ,
A ' statement by the American
Federation of Labor was presented
to the committee, but its contents
were not divulged. The • commit
tee adopted a schedule calling for
four meetings each week.
Other Committees Meet
The committee of the peace con
ference having in charge the Polish
question met at the foreign oliioe
yesterday morning and heard Hie
Polish and Lithuanian representa
tives. The committee will soon
leave Paris for Teschen, Austrian
Silesia.
The peace conference committee
on reparations met yesterday fore
noon and exchanged views regard
ing 1 lie principles covering repara
tions for damages caused by the en
emy and based on memoranda
which will be presented by the dele
gations of the countries affected.
The memoranda will lie discussed
at the next meeting of the commit
tee which will lie held oil February
10. Louis Klotz, the French minis-
of the old regime to nine-Inch halos
of- diamonds and pearls.
While no effort has been made to
place Cabinet Day again on the so
cial calendar, the fact that
Marshall dm! Mrs. Champ Clark
have announced "at homes lor
Wednesday afternoons has gone a
long way toward re-establishing the
custom of official hostesses' receiv
ing visitors without formal invita
tion. A recent occasion fully rep
resentative of Washington on a
peace footing was the reception of
Mrs. Philander O. Knox and Mrs.
Hlrant W. Johnson as joint hostesses
at the Knox home in K street. No
cards were issued for the reception,
but the company could hardly have
been more representative of official
Washington. Those who came in
cluded the Chief Justice of the
United States, several Associate Jus
tices .practically the entire Sena
torial cirMe, diplomats and officers
of the Army and Navy. r
A dozen or more daughters Oi
prominent families, having had no
intention of quitting school or col
lege if the war continued, suddenly
decided to come out this wintejr with
all the old-time flutter of Tea, flow
ers and a truly grown-up wardrobe,
with gowns for every occasion. The
lure of the most joyous play season
of a generation could not he re
sisted. "
WANT SHOES PROTECTED
Boston Resolutions reuesting
Congress to put a duty o nshoes
which would equalize the cost of
production between the United
States and other countries were
passed at the' annual meeting of the
annual meeting of the New England
Shoe and cLather Association.
Speey restoration of railroads to pri
vate ownership was favored.
HOI.D MAN IN WOMAN'S DEATH.
Richmond, Va.—A man suspected
of being Dr. Wiimer Ames Hadley,
for whom it warrant hus been is
sued in connection with the death
of his wife, is held by Texas author
ities, who caught "him near the. Mex
ican border, according lo advices
from Houston received here. The
suspect denies he is Hadley.
WORKERS TO SHARE IX PROFIT
Toledo, O.—A half-and-half prof
it-sharing plan with employees in

N. Willys, president of the Willys-

will run into hundreds of thousands

ing yesterday.
A Knotty Problem
Although the live great :Ulied and
associated powers which are direct
ing the peace conference have turn
ed over much of tlie work to com
missions, the society of nations ques
tion, especially with reference to the
smaller nations, is becoming a knot
ty problem.
The smaller nations, it is declared,
want full equality in a society of
nations and also greater powers
than Hie plans already outlined give
to them. The great powers, on the
other hand, are faced with a sit
uation that if epcli state is given
one member on a supreme court of
nations, they might tind them
selves in the minority, although
their interests might be much
greater and probably would lie.
It is not believed that the great
powers would consent to an ar
rangement of this sort and a situa
tion similar to that at the second
Hague peace, conference appears to

Advice to the Lovelorn
BY BEATIIICE FIARFAX
FEARS TO ESTRANGE PARENTS
DBA RMISS FAIRFAX:
For two years I have been expect-
marry: but our families disap
prove. Recently my sweetheart said
to me:
"I hear of a ease just similar to
ours. A couple got married—a pre
sume they eloped—and after a few
months the husband fell sick and died.
For what she had done her parents
refused to forgive her."
This stroy discouraged her. I still
care for her, and J will appreciate
your advice.
M. A.
If you lnid told me why your fami
lies disapprove I might have been able
to give you definite advice. As it is,
I con only say that, if you are ein
cerely in love, the wisest course Is
to try to win the parents over.
WHICH SHAM, SHE CHOOSE?
DFAR MISS FAIRFAX:
1 have been going about with two
young men. both of whom asked me
to marry them. One of these (A)
is very homely, hut has lots of money,
wl ile (B) Is handsome and hasn't
much money, but Is working hlftiself
up. A lias u very had reputation and
agreeable manner, while the other
has a fair reputation and his manner
1b changeable.
Would you kindly advise me which
cne to choose, as I am undecided?
I). E. F. M.
Your indecision proves, I should
sty. that you are not in love with
either of these young men. And, Ir
that is the ease, l do not see why you
slioul dmarry either of them. Don't
allow yourself to he influenced either
by mone or good looks, but wait to
see. In the first place, whether either
one of them is worthy of love, and,
second. whether* you can love him. J

complishments for the benefit of nil
the people of the Commonwealth.
Naturally X would be proud to>have
a small share in that program."
"1 am a plain businessman," con
tinued Mr. Smith," and if 1 am elect
ed I shall strive to conduct myself
in public office precisely as I have
dope in my own private business.
With respect to purely local legis
lation, naturally I am very much in
terested in the development of Capi
tol Park along the lines already laid
down and I hope, if J am honored
with a seat in the Senate, to do my
share toward pushing this improve
ment to an early conclusion. 1 pledge
myself to an honest, progressive ad
ministration of the senatorship if I
am entrusted with the office." *"j
Executive Committee Meets
The meeting of the fifteen mem
bers of the county executive com
mittee and the officers df 'he county
committee was held in the small
office of the county chairman with
nobody'else in attendance. George
Kurmany, of Hummclstown, was
elected and John H. Lehr,
of Dykens, as secretary. The nomi
nation of Mr. Smith was a matter
of only a few minutes and directly
following the couhty committee met
to ratify and endorse the selection.
The big room of the headquar
ters was so full that chairs were
brought from the outside when Sec
retary Al. S. Cooper read the call
for the meeting issued by County
Chairman "William# Xf. Horner, who
as presiding officer asked for a re
port from the executive committee.
Mr. Karmany reported and present
ed the sworn certificate of nomina
tion signed by all of the members,
after which a committee was ap
pointed to escort Mr. Smith to the
room.
The candidate was given a hearty
reception when he appeared. He
told the committee that his train
ing'was that a businessman find that
he made no boast of oratory, but
he felt thoroughly at home in a gath
ering of Republicans with whom he
had been associated for years and
especially so in that room as it was
there in 1912, as county chairman,
he had helped to create the present
very effective, harmonious and suc
cessful county Republican organiza
tion.
lie said he deeply appreciated the
honor conferred upon liim by the
nomination, especially following the
senatorsliips of such distinguished
men as Judge S. M. M. McCarrell,
Senator John K. Fox and Lieuten
ant-Governor E. E. Beidlemau. The |
mark they set was so high, he said,
and the pace of his immediate pre
decessor so fast that he felt his own
inability to match their careers. Rut
he pledged his best' efforts for sin
cere, constructive legislation along
business lines for the welfare of his
constituents. lie said lie realized he
had a big - job ahead of him. if elect
ed, but that under the leadership
of a great governor and with op
portunities for service never larger,
Ue,hoped to render such an aceount-
I ing of his stewardship as would re
flect credit upon the district.
Mr. Smith's remarks were, receiv
ed with applause and when the
handclapping had subsided Pro
tho notary Charles E. Pass was call
ed upon to address the committee on
the importance of the coming spe
cial election. lie did so in his usual
happv stvle, pointing out the neces
sity of continuing Dauphin county
antong the Republican strongholds
of the state and in running up a
majority in the senatorial election as
would send Mr. Smith' 'o the Capi
tol with such a vote as would,show
to Governor Sproul and the mem
bers of tlie Legislature that he is a
strong favorite at home. He paid
high tribute to Mr. Smith's personal
character and to his fitness foi the
senatorsliip. He referred to the
distinguished men who had preced
ed him and laid special stress upon
tlie splendid record of Lieutenant-
Governor E. E. Beidlemau. whom
he said is to be congratulated up
on being associated with such a pro
pressive and constructive adminis
tration as that of which Governor
Sproul is the head.
Lieutenant-Governor Speaks
Lieutenant-Governor Reidleman
was next called upon and he too ex
pressed his high opinion of tlie new
senatorial candidate, outlining his
long business career in Harrisburg,
and tlie sacrifices he had made in his
early years in the interests of fair
play to his friends, he having de
clined a highly remunerative posi
tion for himself because to liave ac
cepted it would have meant financial
loss for those who had stood by him
when lie needed help.
Lieutenant-Governor Reidleman
recalled Mr. Smith's success in local
politics, reciting the remarkable
campaign of 1912 when as county
chairman he liad carried the local
Republican ticket to victory in the
hottest fight on record and at u time
when tlie Bull Moose swept the
county for Roosevelt. He said he had
made a study of state affairs, that
he was as well and favorably known
abroad as at home and predicted
that lie would make his mark in the
Senate.
Mr. Reidleman pointed out the
i need for businessmen in public af
fairs at this critical period, when
Pennsylvania is called upon to pay
a billion and eighty millions of dol
lars in federal tajtes and' when the
Commonwealth must have at Its call
men who can think clearly along
business lines.
The Lieutenant-Governor predict
ed Mr. Smith's election by a large
majority and asked the committee
men and the voters for the same
hearty support for which he thank
ed them for the 9,000 majority they
15
gave him last November .He said it
would be a pleasure for him to serve
in the Senate under the leadership
of Governor Sproul, during a period
when things are being done on a
big scale and along progressive lines
in the service of the Commonwealth.
Mr. Betdleman spoke at length upou
the program and accomplishments of
the Sprout administration and said
that the progress being made in the
State Highway Department is an in
dication of the manner in which pub
lic affairs have been speeded up
along other lines.
"It is remarkable that so soort
after inauguration and in the middle
of February the State Highway De
partment should have already started
to improve the borough highway,
through Camp Hill and that next
Monday work will be begun on a
similar improvement in Higlispire,
Governor Sproul is losing no time,
lie has already outlined a porgrani
j for the expenditure of |25,000,000
I a year for the next four years on
; roads. His program along other lines
is equally vigorous and'constructive," 1
lie said, and added that with Mr.
Smith representing Dauphin county
in the Senate,* the district will have
a man there worthy of participating
in the big things that will be ac
complished.
Following the I.ieutenant-Govern
or\s remarks, Mr. Pass Introduced a
resolution expressing the approval
of the committee of the program and
administration of Governor Sproul
and pledging the committee to its
support.

iness circles of the state and promi
