Last week President-elect Roosevelt was back at his home-away-from-home, Warm Springs, Ga. There he was to pick his Cabinet before going off on Vincent Astor's Nourmahal for a fishing trip in Florida waters.

...Year's Eve party he put on a paper cap and made much noise for his guests, Secretary & Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur. Last week Rear Admiral & Mrs. William Adger Moffett visited the Dohertys. If he had his way the "Winter Capital" would be Miami, not Washington or Warm Springs, and the Miami Biltmore would be the winter Mayflower...
