MRs PHILANDER. @ C.KNOX, n Vife of Senator ¥nox., experie: as aCabinet 20d Seuale hostegs ;Gayest of Social Seasons - InHistory of Washington Keeps Society Here on Go i Splendor of Inaugural Times Will Be Exceeded Only by Revel of Fun to Begin in the Spring. ' ' i BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. AY days these are, and will continue to be. With a ball, several dances and important dinner parties, like those for the Secre- H tary of State and Mrs. Colby or for the ambassador of France + and Mme. Jusserand, to look back upon, and innumerable important social affairs scheduled before and after the inauguration, society at the capital presents a livelier phase than has ever before been known here. 'l\) be sure, all of the events are not large, but for the most they are ! important, diplomats exchanging the last hospitalities with the of- } ficials of this administration, and society in general striving to show | appreciation of the agreeable hosts and hostesses composing the execu- tive family. The Vice President and Mrs. Marshall closed their official program ten days ago, and until March 4, when they will take part in s the inaugural night benefit ball, will confine themselves to dining oc- . casionally with a frien r H ONE of the most attractive features of the March 4 ball for the B benefit of the Child Welfare, in the New Willard, will be the presence of practically every governor of a state in the Union. Mrs. Eugene Hale will have in her box the Governor of Maine and his aids, and Senator and Mrs. Keyes will entértain the Governor of New Hamp- ¢ shire and his suite. Like other boxes in which governors will be en- | tertained, these two will bear the emblems of their respective states. !‘As many senators have taken boxes, it is likely they will entertain A their governors or other distinguished guests. Mrs. Marshall, wife of | the Vice President, who is chairman of the box committee, and hon- ! orary president of the Child Welfare, will receive the guests, assisted by a number of distinguished women. Later she and the Vice Presi- | deat will be in the box of honor in the center of the large ballroom. ANOTHER charity ball which has matured rapidly, and which will cap the climax of brilliancy for the spring season, will be the all- i ' e i i ! China ball, for the benefit of the China famine fund being raised by an important committee in Washington. The ball will be given at Ward- ; man Park Hotel the night of April 5, and_that part of the hotel used for the purpose will be turned into a veritable corner of the orient— | Chinese decorations, Chinese music. Chinese players, Chinese costumes of every rank and station of the kingdom, and a Chinese supper. On April 11 the board of lady managers of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital will give their annual spring ball, using the New Willard for the purpose. E Thursday morning Bible class, conducted in the ballroom of the New Willard from 11 to 12 o'clock each week by Mrs. Selden Pal- ' H | mer Spencer, wife of Senator Spencer of Missouri, had at its first meet- ing mearly four hundred women. Mrs. Spencer is a deep student of theology, a charming speaker and teacher, and one of her most devout { students at the classes a year ago was Mrs. Warren G. Harding, who this year heads her list of patronesses. On_this list with Mrs. rding are Mrs. Thomas R Marshall, Mrs. Frederick H. Gillett, Mrs. Mahlon Pitney. Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, Mrs. Frank W. Mondell and Mrs. Robert Lansing. THE coming of Miss Margaret Wilson last week added iynerest to i the Whit@ HGuse, and especially to the national convention of the mational woman’s party, there being an eager audience present to hear her speak at the opening of the Thursday afternoon session at the . Hotel Washington. She explained convincingly the importance of com- ! munity center organization. She was charming in a rather plain but handsome and modish dress of black cloth, the sleeves cut in the pre- wvailing short length, and touches of white setting off the somber frock to fine effect. Her hat of striped black and white, with a scarf effect at one side, was very becoming. Michigan Alumnae Tea Largely Attended The Michigan alumnae tea at the National A. C. A. clubhouse was at- tended by 120 women last week, most of them from Michigan. Mrs Earl Cory Michener, wife of Repre- mentative Michener, Jine of honor.
