GLADYS SIMMONS WRITES
ABOUT WASHINGTON LIFE
While bridge seems to be the chief
indoor sport of most cities, in Wash
ington, it Is attendance at afternoon
teas. Much is said and written about
the complicated system of call-mak
ing among official people. It is so ex
tensive that a wife of n new Member
of Congress will make in one season,
if she is conscientious about it,
around six hundred first calls, to say
nothing of those which she must re
turn. If some of these calls can be
made at afternoon teas, of course, it
is more pleasant. Many ladies have
them.
Five days of the week are set apart
for calling. On Monday, the calls
are made on the wives of the Chief
Justices; on Tuesday, on the wives
of Congressmen; on Wednesday, on
the wives of the Vice-President, the
Speaker of the House and Cabinet; !
on Thursday, on the wives of Sen
ators; on Friday, on the wivea of
diplomats.
Of the diplomats there are so many
(fifty-three embassies and legations)
that some of their ladies are always
at home on Friday. Last Friday we
called on several.
All of the countries, even the small- j
er ones, have beautiful legations or
embassies. One center near which
are located ten or more is upper Six
teenth Street. This group is due to
one remarkable woman, the widow of
a Senator from Missouri. She own
ed considerable property along Six
teenth Street, and conceived the
idea of making it an outstanding lo-;
cality. She biult her own home there,
called Boundary Castle because at
that time it was on the edge of the
city. It looks like pictures of old
European castles, and is one of the !
show places of Washington. Then she l
gradually built, along the street, |
beautiful buildings after her;
own plans, and succeeded in renting;
or selling them to different countries i
for embassies or legations. One of
the most beautiful of these she offer
ed as a gift to the government as a
home for the Vice-President. It was I
refused for two reasons: it was more :
magnificent than the White House, i
and would cost too much to maintain..
Eventually she sold it, and it is now
the Spanish Embassy. Her efforts
have made of Sixteenth Street a
more attractive place. j
The embassies we visited on this j
Friday were similarly arranged; cur-^
ved driveway to the entrance, ent-1
ranee hall with cloak rooms, a beau
tiful stairway to the reception rooms
above. There, the ambassador and
his wife, in formal garb, received in
the drawing room, and tea was serv
ed in the dining room. Of course,
these varied greatly In decoration
and furnishing, but all were elabor
ate, formal and luxurious. In the
Greek Legation the most idividual
features were the many etchings of
classic Greek ruins, and the minister
who constantly urged dainty refresh
ments upon his guests. The French
drawing-room and dining room walls
were lined with portraits of French
military heroes. The Dutch Embas
sy seemed a veritable museum. Its
great halls were lined with beautiful
carved chests, inlaid tables, brass
ware of Oriental design, ancient
weapons, fur rugs inches deep. In
all, tea, coffee, punch, cakes, sand
wiches and bon-bons were served
from beautifully apointed tables. At
each, crowds of fashionably dressed
menand women visited through the
rooms.
So again a pleasant afternoon
spent, and an act of courtesy extend
ed to guests in our country.
