‘J. HAM' LENDS COLOR. VIM TO STODGY SENATE Illinois Beau Brummel, as Usual, Grabs Spot at Oath Ceremony. BY RAY TUCKER Times Sts9 Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—“ J. Ham” Lewis has come back to his old place In the United States senate, and In his very entrance there was visible proof that chivalry and courtliness have not vanished from the land. Three days late, and therefore

sworn in with as much privacy as a knight tapped by his liege at a tournament’s high noon, Senator J. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, to give him the full name he does not like, now decorates that once drab body with a tint of color, of grace, of drama —indeed, of romance— it long

Lewis

has lacked. There was an Immediate response to his kindliness and graciousness, to that light in his hair, his eyes, his beard, his spats, that "never was on sea or land.” There were signs that he may bring with him a cavalier spirit so infectious it may soften his more grim colleagues. Not even the senate could resist his bowing and genuflecting, his dancing master’s poses and pirouettings, his brown plume and white beard, his October brown ensemble. Watson Dashes Over Gray "Tom” Walsh melted into a smile. "Sunny Jim” Watson, whose bonhomie and backslapping now become eligible for a political museum, showed he harbored no ill feelings, by dashing across the chamber. Wesley O. Jones, whom Lewis defeated for the house back in the ’9o’s out on the coast, felt both his gnarled hands grabbed by the slim, expensive, well-manicured fingers of the newcomer. Dick Riddell, chief page, found himself lost in a fatherly embrace. Then “J. Ham” looked around for more to hug. Up stepped "Tom” Heflin, gone but not departed, wearing his cream-colored vest, black cutaway, pince-nez hanging on a black ribbon. As if “J. Ham” sensed a rival, he approached Heflin, stood off to contemplate the southerner’s appearance and, then, pulled the pince-nez from Heflin’s pocket, so that, in accord with the precedent set by the prince of Wales, it would dangle loosely on the outside. “J. Ham” gazed about the crowded galleries after that gesture of sartorial defiance. Right as Usual Without a welcome from Henry Ashurst of Arizona, hitherto the senate’s most courtly and polished member, the new senator’s reception would have been incomplete. But Ashurst, as always, did the right thing. The two bent, bowed and clasped hands—both hands. But "J. Ham” struck a pose reserved only for his peers, and none could deny that poor Henry came off second best. Next came colleague Otis F. Glenn of Illinois, who was to escort Lewis down the middle aisle. The careless Glenn, apparently not recognizing the importance of his occasion, arrived with the lapels of his business suit disarrayed. "J. Ham” straightened them out, brushed them down, ruffled his wavy, auburnish beard and the procession down the middle aisle to the vice-president’s rostrum started. Bow for Curtis To the Honorable Charles C. Curtis there was a bow. For the clerk who gave the oath as “J. Ham” uplifted his whole body, there was a bow, and, afterward, a gracious nod. The oath administered, everybody within reach was swept within the new senator's radiance—and his arms—and, his eyes sweeping the galleries, he marched back to the rear of the senate. Only for a moment did "J. Ham” stand there. No great actor, he realized, remains on the stage too long, and so, with another bow, he strode through doors which seemed opened by invisible hands, into the cloakroom.
