JOHN AINSWORTH ANDREWS, A brade of last e T A S A o P Lee === Social ProgramofPastWeek, Diversified and Delightful, InauguratesOutdoor Season Wlfite House Garden Party, When President and Mrs. Harding Entertained Disabled Soldiers. Cabinet Circle Functions. BY SALLIE V. JL PICKETT. IVERSIFIED and delightful was the social program carried out in Washington last week, launching in no feeble way the out- door season. There were garden parties, with that at the Ambassador of Japan Entertains in Honor of Admiral Baron Uriu Distinguished Guests Pres- ent at Dinner—Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert H. Grosvenor Hosts to Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge. The ambassador of Japan, Baron ‘White House the most important; river parties, luncheons in the open,! Shidehara, entertained at dinner last until but few waking hours were spent by society folk indoors. Never in the history of the White House was there such an unusual and inter- esting event held there as wounded soldiers in and around Washington. the garden party of Wednesday for the ‘What might bave been a dee¢ply sad and depressing afternoon was turned into a joyous one by the smiling faces of the hosts and the unsurpassed delight of the guests. A man who is never going to walk again said it was worth “going over” to be entertained in such fine fashion by his President. Mrs. Harding’s trip to Mount Vernon with a group of her out-of- town friends was only one of many river parties, that of Mrs. Denby on board the Sylph Friday afternoon being second in importance. Mrs. Denby’s party was principally for Mrs. Harding, Mrs. Coolidge and the wives of cabinet members, but it gave rise to tea on board the yacht, which is always a pleasant change from dangling one’s cup about a drawing room or even at a lawn party. The beauties of the Potomac constantly call for more and more attention, and it is thought before another sea- son the waters about Potomac Park and further down the river will be the playground for many of the handsomest craft of the larger yacht marriage of Miss Frances Hoar to Mr. Reginald Foster Wednes- day will be a particularly notable event, and the President and Mrs. Harding will establish no new precedent in attending, for there has scarcely been a President in the last fifty years who has not been a wedding guest in quaint St. John's, across the park from the White House. Members of the cabinet, senators, representatives, diplomats and smart society will all be bidden guests and there will be several essential entertainments of importance for the wedding party. Mr. Foster arrived from Boston late in the week and will remain in the capital until after the wedding. ESIDES the various weddings of the week the reception which Mr. and) Mrs. Charles C. Glover will give at Orchard Hill Wednesday, to celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of Admiral and Mrs. Theo- dore F. Jewell, the brother-in-law and sister of Mrs. Glover, affords un- usual interest. the extra charm of outdoors if the weather permits. This event, like others of this week and last, will take on Mrs. Corbin's luncheon at Highwood, Chevy Chase, last week is almost the last affair of the kind she will give there for the present, as Prince de Bearn has leased the place and will go there with his household this week. 2% ITE simple in arrangement will be the wedding of Miss Mary La Follette, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Robert M. La Follette, to Ralph Sucher. Wednesday afternoon. While a girl of many accom- plishments, Miss La Follette has never cared much about society, and neither she nor the bridegroom wish for an ostentatious wedding, such as they might have, to bring out the President, the Vice President and the entire congressional set. will officiate. The wedding will take place in the 16th street home of Senator and Mrs. La Follette, and Rev. Dr. U. G. B. Pierce - RS. JAMES A. REED, wife of Senator Reed of Missouri, will enter- tain at luncheon tomorrow at Wardman Park Hotel in honor of Mrs. Coolidge, and at the same time Mrs. Hughes will be the guest of honor of the Women's National Press Club.
