¥ps. JOSEPH S FRELINGHUYSEN; of New Jersey, elected First Vice President of the Congressional Club Brilliant Social Season Nearing Close in Blaze Of Glory Before Lent Southern Relief Ball One of Last 'Important Events Before Sol?mn Season Starts. Dinners to Flourish Now. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ANXCING, dining and visiting, with a few more sedate hours tucked D in for concerts and musicals, completely filled the waking hours of society folk last week, and a long sigh of contentment awaits the advent of Ash Wednesday. The Belgian embassy, for so long wrapped in deep gloom, has truly had an awakening this season, the am-! bassador and Baroness de Cartier adding fresh laurels to their brilliant record of the season in their dinner and dance of Friday night. Notable men and women, with the merely pleasure-seeking butterflies of so- ciety, met time and again through the seven days, while works of charity were not forgotten, the huge benefit card party for Casualty Hospital Wednesday being one ¢f the largest on record. THE luncheon parties of the week were particularly beautiful in effect— several of them in honor of Mrs. Thomas Riley Marshall—the affairs | more nearly approaching the famous dove dinners of the late Mrs. John R. McLean than anything else. Flowérs ran rampant, there being added to elaborate floral table decoration the huge circle formed by the corsage bouquets worn by the woman guests. The return of the Secre- tary of State also brought occasions for carrying out the several diplo- matic dinners in his honor, the dean of the corps, M. Jusserand and Mme. Jusserand, entertaining in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Colby last night. TWO balls of importance preface Ash Wednesday. and after that noj large dancing events will take place unless they be for charity. A petulant bud has remarked that she thought any sort of a dance at all in Lent would be for charity. Dinner and luncheon parties will, how- ever, flourish all during the first week of Lent, Lady Geddes, Mr. Justice Clarke, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Crain, Senator and Mrs. Henderson. Repre-{ sentative and Mrs. Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. Merle-Smith, Mrs. Richard H.! ‘Townsend and Mrs. Marshall Field all being among the more important | hosts of this week. Probably the most important dinner, officially, will be that given Saturday night by the Secretary of State and Mrs. Colby for the Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, who tomorrow night will be the guests at dinner of Mrs. Henry F. Dimock. ’rHE Southern Relief ball.harks back to ante-bellum days, and will call fogether tomorrow night at the New Willard the flower of the south, with hundreds of other prominent folk, who never claimed residence below the Mason-Dixon linte, to look on and participate. For nearly thirty years the revenue derived from the ball has added to the: comfort of Confederates and their families, and society will enter with unusual zest in the last large benefit ball before Lent. Other dances of the solemn scason, arranged as benefits—such as the valentine ball at the mdrine barracks—will naturally be smaller, but not the less wel- comed events. The fancy dress ball Shrove Tuesday night; with Mrs. C. C. Calhoun and Mrs. Emerson Hough as hosts, will add a merry inci- dent to society, and, as ft is a masked event, those attending are ex- pected to bring their invitations with them. @ T not only to thos Serbian children, evening of song and story to-be given in the ballroom of \\'ard—! an Park Hotel Tuesday evening at 8:30 o'clock will prove a benefit | e fortunate enough to attend, but to the Polish and who will,enjoy the full benefit, the talent being given without price. The artists are Marchesa Virginia San Gormono, whose | beautiful voice has been heard but few times here; Jean Wilson, the monologist, who has arranged a program of humor; M. Kathrine Floeckher, pianist, and Mahlon Boyce, accompanist. Many will go from this event to the ball at Rauscher’s. a short time in Washington with Mr. and Mrs. Harold Walker, on their way from Mexico to the baron's mew post.

Mrs. Percy U.S. Envoy at Prague Buys Beautiful Palace As Official Residence Marvelous Gardens, Rising in Terraces to Rendezvous of Diplomats, Surround Homé of Marked Beauty. An interesting bit of news which comes from Prague shows clearly that the United States envoy there, Mr. Richard Crane, prefers investing in real estate in Prague to living in a tent, so he has bought a residence to be used as a legation. The capital of Czechoslovakia is a veritable city of palaces, and Mr. Crane crossed the old Charles bridge, where in the narrow, crooked streets, grass grown, silent and tranquil, rise the splendid facades of seigneurlal awellings. It is here that Minister Crane bought the magnificent palace of the Schonborn, with its marvelous gardens, the terraces of which rise one above the other to a hill over- looking the city. At the top of the hill are the tennis courts, where the diplomatic set at Pragie meet daily for afternoon tea. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Crane in Washington recall that neither they nor members of their family have ever cared to be hemmed in by close-up city life and in this country each one owns a splendid country estate. —— Miss Suthethnd Is Entertained at Party Mrs. Rowland Carvel Ringgold en- tertained a large company at a the ter party and supper dance last night, in honor of Miss Katherine Suther- land, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Sutherland of West Virginia.
