VICE PRESIDENT AND WIFE TO ENTERTAIN

Will Make Horae at Willard Hotel and Are Expected to Hold a Number of Receptions. - Vice President and Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall have taken up their abode at the Willard hotel, one of the most fashionable in Washington and it is presumed will hold a number of evening receptions as they did last year and Mrs. Marshall will make fete days out of her Wednesday afternoons. - An interview given recently in Boston stated that Mrs. Marshall has convictions that are quite old-fashioned and from which she does not wish to part now that she is a national figure. She expresses a love for home and its responsibilities and regrets that so many people have lost their homemaking instinct. Mrs. Marshall clearly outlined her views on modern dances, women’s dress and wines and liquors. She says that no woman need be subservient to any dressmaker who suggests immodest costumes. Slavish following of fashions, whether it means dressing, dancing or drinking are to her impossible. She says easterners do not know the charms of the west but that westerners do know the charmjf of the east. Westerners are travelers and easterners are not. She says this is one of the reasons why the easterft city dwellers are not alive to the advantages of the old-fashioned home. The eastern city dwellers would be surprised to see the luxuriousness of the western small-town home.. “And,” Mrs. Marshall added, “if they could but reailze how much better life is when lived as these people we met live, there would be no danger of the American home passing, even in the city.” #
