Ranking Capital Social Etiquette With Honorary Guests
The article outlines a hypothetical dinner seating order for a Washington event led by a high level hostess. It ranks guests by official and familial titles from the President down to a US Representative to the UN, noting that the President tops, the Chief Justice outranks an Ambassador, and a woman member of Congress outranks the Secretary of the Navy. The hostess moves the Ambassador's wife up to second due to the former President Hoover being a widower, and the Congress member cannot be placed above the Congress rank.

The note arrives as Italy, Britain, and America weigh the Marshall Plan and a German peace treaty. In 1936 American poverty data show a quarter of US families under 590 dollars annually.
