Passing of Old Regime - To Neiw Administration ;Iinportant Dinner Parties, With Many Smaller ‘. Ones. Round Out the Night in Capital Official i | Circles—Child Welfare Ball. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE passing of Washington from the old into the new adminis- tration, while minus many of the features that marked it in the ! past, was a veritable trail of brilliancy, large and important ”inner parties, with the cabinet members as guests of honor; smaller linner parties, too, but all following the way to one or other of the o great balls which rounded out the night. g PTHE ball at the New Willard for the benefit of child welfare was the last master stroke of Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, who more completely llied herself with Washington philanthropic work than had any of her redecessors, and the vast throng was representative of every state in he Union and almost every country in the world. The dinner and ance at the home of Mr. and Mrs. McLean for the Vice President and rs. Coolidge was one of great brilliancy, and seldom has a private me been graced with more notable guests in a single evening. LL eyes are now turned to the White House and its new occupants, and, with Mrs. Harding as the first mistress there since the passing ! the nineteenth amendment, the office means more than it ever did fore. However, there is no fear but she will grace her position there s she has her other walks in life, and will especially carry out all of he social traditions of the office. The outside world looked on with in- rest at the friendly call of Mr. and Mrs. Harding at the White House the eve of their taking residence there, and of the friendly introduc- n of the Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge to the Senate and a more tended circle of friends, by their predecessors in office. EMBERS of the cabinet will probably accept the recess of Congress as a suitable time to settle in their new homes, and will under- e only the obligatory exchanges of social courtesy for the next sev- al weeks. Only two of the new members of the cabinet have settled Ip their future abodes—Secretry of War Weeks, who bought the former ome of the Secretary of State several years ago and has lived there ance, and Secretary Hoover of the Department of Commerce, who went irect to his newly acquired home from the railway station Friday orning. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes and others have Jected their future homes, and the outlook of social life is pleasing. {The new Attorney General, Mr.)for several weeks.

Mrs. Coo]idge Charms Washington Women by Her Gracious Wa.y-s Has Splendid Taste in Dress and Is Sure to Prove Fa- vorite in Capital Society. From the woman viewpoint, Mrs. Calvin Coolidge is all right. Wash- ington women are representative of the four corners of the earth, literally speaking, and from the time of her first appearance in the capital Mon- day night up to the present time she has been weighed and not found want- ing. Her little schooling at the hands of Mrs. Thol R._Marshail. who filled the plac “oolidge occupies for eight yea nd part of them very strenuous and trying omes, too—has been invaluable and brought her into the public eye in a modest but prominent way. Her closest associates in official so- ciety will be the wives of senators, the great body of men over which her husband will preside, but besides that she will serve as the social buffer be- tween the outside world and the White House, because the President and Mre. Harding can, according to tradition, accept no outside invitations except with the cabinet members. The Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge have no such rehtrictions and even before their arrival in Washington they accepted the invitation of Mr. and Mrs. E. B. McLean to be their guests at a dinner and ball on the night of March 4. Other invitations have al- ready accumulated and the society folk, thirsty for an acqualntance with the new administration will naturally seek Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge. Mrs. Coolidge wore on inauguration day a one-piece dark blue serge dress, fashionable but simple, and the long blue serge coat, finely tailored and of the same material as the dress. Her hat was a rather small model of black straw turned up both front and back hioned and showing a fluffy new fa ostrich plume in a strong blue Wednesday afternoon in her a for Mrs. Coolidge. to introduce her to all the women of the Senate, i in the same contented, happs quite won the heart of every one. also had a glimpse of just how fond Senate women can become of their leader, as the women presented Mrs. Marshall with several handsome gifts, including a tall silver backet for flowers, as a further appreciation of her near- ness to them. These gifts were in ad- dition to the splendid silver service shown in the films taken the day of the presentation. i It was Wednesday morning that Mrs, Coolidge found herself in a perfect maze of activity, much sought for interviews with newspaper women having been postponed until that time that she might give up Tuesday to Mrs. Marshall. She did not actually pose for three photog- raphers at once, but she came very near it. Three were on hand at once in the Coolidge suite, and without the least sign of confusion or mnervousness she poxed for each in turn changing her hat, coat or dress as they suggested, but all the time keeping perfectly cal The suite occupied by the Vice Presi dent and Mrs. Coolidge is a well located one, large, bright and sunny and ook~ ing down to the Capitol and up to the White House grounds. The floors are covered with soft green velvet of one tone and the mahogany furniture is up- holstered_in green brocade of a softer shade. Flowers and pictures—flowers ere—added to the charm of the “Do you play cards?” was asked of Mrs. Coolidge. The answer came b: with simple directness that she daid not care for cards. She admitted a fondness for dancing, likes reading perhaps better, but {s fond of com- pany, and while she says she is not educated in music, always likes a good opera or concert. A box will be placed at her disposal in various of the local theaters from time to time during the spring, and she will un- doubtedly have a feast if not a sur- it in music and plays. e hen Mre. Coolidge posed for her pictures she wore a fashionable 1it- tle late afterncon frock of filet lace in black, mounted over black char- meuse, and worn with a broad echar- sh in peacock blue. The real up-to-date touch was given by the pointed .draperies at the sides faliing a few inches below the hem of the charmeuse. Her only orna- ment 80 far seen, is a string of fine filigree silver beads of intricate de- sign, which at a distance much re- semble pearls. She must be fond of this womanly bit of ornament, for she wears it with all her gowns. 'Wednesday afternoon when she received with Mrs. Marshall, she wore a particularly becoming and attrac- tive gown of fawn color chiffon, the skirt finely accordion plaited, with a design in silver beads on the front and sides of the skirt and a band of the same bead embroidery a few inches mbove the hem. The sleeves were of fawn color, bell shape and finished at the hem’ with a band of silver bead embroidery. The over- blouse was of the same material, but in a well contrasted shade of blue, the skirt of which fell several inches be- Jow the waist line. The same design in silver was carried blouse, and the details such as hose and out on the of the toflet, ‘were of the & l i Miss. MARCIA BEARD, of Glewridgde, N.J, e 10 HARRIS £ WNG uest of Mme.

" Mrs. Coolidge Gets Dress From Biltmore Folk Made From Wool Raised on Place One of'the most charming garments of Mrs. Coolidge's Washington trous- seau is & sport suit of ox-blood red home-spun, the gift of the towns- people of Biltmore, the estate of Mrs. George Vanderbiit. The wool was from the backs of the sheep raised on the place, and from the clipping of the wool until the beautiful two-plece suit was fin. ished no matérial was used in it not raised on the place, unless, perchance, it was the chemical used for setting the red dye, which is also the product and pride of the place. The white threads woven with the red gives the cloth a soft peachblow sheen, In fine contrast to the white satin lining of the coat. The skirt is cut in modish but modi- fied width and length, while the coat shows the straight box effect front and back, the cut-in pockets being finished with arrows worked in red. One of the fetching accessories of rs. Coolidge’s outfit is a handbag made of finely woven blue straw, which looks for all the world like the crown of two hats, united by a band of blue satin to allow for ex- and also for an easier mount- the handsomely chased ailver, | | | | Interesting Items Of Prominent Folk Visiting in Capital Many Out-of-Town Guests Feted Here by Friends and Relatives Over Inau- guration—Army and Navy Omcer!
