Social Focus Fixed Updn‘ “First Ladies”—Present— Future—Might Have Been Mrs. Wilson Receives. Informally During the »;Week. Mrs. Harding Visits Capital and Mrs. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Cox-Attends Reception of Mrs. Marshall. ASHINGTON enjoyed an unusual social situation last week with a “first-lady,” a “first lady elect” and a defeated “first lady,” i ‘ all in evidence and with strangely enough the latter the gayest of all. Mrs. Wilson received informally several friends diring the week. The visit of Mrs. Harding to Washington just now was an enforced one attendant u(ggn closing one Washington honie for another, and the visit of former Governor and Mrs. Cox had a mingling of politics and busi- ness in it and was as well a delightful incident. Wednesday was as much of a reception day for Mrs. Cox & for Mrs. Marshall and the ladies of the Cabinet, for she was an attractive and heartily sought figure in each home. THE quiet, systematic manner in which Mrs. Harding spent the week, free from excitement and devoting almost every hour to domestic tasks, was a fine example these days of progress and unrest for women. Many of the exquisite pieces of table ware; as well as the table linen and laces upon. which Mrs. Harding prides herseli, will find their way to the living apartment of the President’s family bn the second floor of the White House. Collecting these dainty household goods has been one of the chief delights of Mrs. Harding’s life. Mes. ALTERS ©LALLAN, H‘g se quesY of’ Sectetar et \ MpS. GORDON. WOODBURY, Vife of the Assistant, Secretaryof M'USIC lovers were given various feasts during the week, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in its first visit to Washington scoring a icent success socially and artistically. Mrs. Marshall Field showed her pride in the talent of her home city by not only becoming a_patroness and box holder for the concert, but by entertaining the director, soloist and the entire company of musicians at luncheon ir her own home and asking many distinguished persons to meet them there. ’l'HE various plays and the -dance under the auspices of the Drama League was an important and brilliant event of the early week, anq perhaps nothing in the social life of Washington ever brought society closer together than the sales tea which Mrs. James W. Wads- worth, jr., held in her home for two days to promote the sale of goods from the hands of disabled discharged soldiers. The move met with such hearty response from the ‘American Woman’s Legion and society in general that an effort will be started at once to establish a large, bright sales room more adequate to the requirements than the bit of a trench on F street. Mrs. Wadsworth was at home from 2 to 6 o'clock cach day serving as saleswoman and cashier, Lesides directing the preparation and arrangement of the goods. redil IMany Patronesses Of Importance Lend Names to Card Party Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Thomas Marshall and Lady Geddes Give Aid to Hospital Benefit. - Promising to be not only the largest card party of the winter, but one of the leading social and charity affairs of the season, the bridge and five hundred entertainment at Wardman Park Hotel Wednesday afternoon for the benefit of the Eastern Dispensary and Casualty Hospital, 7th street and Massachusetts avenue northeast, is expected to bring out more .than a thousand guests.
