On the private side, Charles the Baptist, the human icicle and animated feather duster Chilly Charlie had become one of Washington's favorite dinner guests. He and Mrs. Hughes go out only on Saturday nights and are dated up months ahead.† Still not a gregarious man, he is a definitely affable and agreeable oldster who chuckles much in whiskers, and the twinkle in his eye is really there.

Germany spent in 1936 seven times as much as in 1934. Russia only tripled her expenditures in the same period but is still ahead of Germany.

Residential contracts for the month were 20% ahead of December and more than twice the total for January 1936. But it is estimated that only 425,000 new U.
