The band, one of the finest in this part of the country, will give a special program on each occasion wASHIXGTON society is keeping pace with that of other cities and when finally the season is closed and the curtain rung down on such strenuous pastime, the devotees of that now large body in Washington will | have danced in the costume and guise of almost every civilized country and for the benefit of those who needed them. The Chinese hall was a charming and refreshing affair and Russian benefit week, which begins | Tuesday with the Russian headdress ball at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Breckinridge Long, will add another bright spot in social life, Quite in line with these spectacular dancing events will be the moonlight dance on the roof garden of Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh’s home, when the roof will be turned into a bewildering bit of garden beauty, so arranged as not to interfere with the glow of the moonlight. | Nicholas Mrs. Coolidge Entertains At Her First Reception Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the Vice President, held her first Wednesday reception last week, and hundreds ©of women and a few men peured through Rer drawing reoms at the New Willard i{n the two hours allot- | ted.
