— 3 MRS. WILLIAM ALEXANDER IBARBER _farmerly Miss_Melanie:Gordon President and Mrs. Harding . With a Mrs. Harding Guest of Ladies of Senate—Con- gressional Country Club Proposal Arouses Interest Among Official Set. HERE is always something of vital interest to the social world going on in the capital, and last week was no exception. fl'he President and Mrs. Harding set the pace, and each day since their return Monday from a week end cruise on the Potomac has been filled with important engagements. Tuesday, while the President entertained the Postmaster General, Mr. Hays; Gen. Charles G. Dawes, Mr. A. G. Lasker and several other guests informally at luncheon at the \White House, Mrs. Harding was the guest of the ladies of the Senate at their regular weekly Tuncheon. Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the Vice Presi- dent and head of the organization, extended the invitation to Mrs. Hax:d- ing and accomparied her to the luncheon, which was delightfully in- formal, the simple, but very delicious, menu being provided by a com- mittee of members, as is the usual custom. T HE Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge had a small party of xrjends dining with them Sunday evening at the New Willard, following a jew hours’ cruise on the river aboard Senator and Mrs. Joseph Frelinghuysen’s yacht, the Victoria. Mrs. Cooligde, whose vivacity and charm make her an ideal hostess, wore a very effective black costume, the gown of, taffeta, t e trimmed, and the bodice close-fitting and somewhat suggestive of th_e' styles of our grandmother’s day, which are heralded as the “last word' jor the autumn. Her large transparent hat of chiffon had a graceful rolling brim. John and Calvin Coolidge, the young sons of the hosts, were with them, and as the party passed through the corridor on their way to their_ suite, the boys stopped to inspect the gold fish in the fountain in the palm room. These fish appear to be their particular pets, for they visit them every day, and one of the boys with two 4fr|ends of the Vice President’s held an animated discussion as to their size and general appearance, HILE formal entertaining has become less frequent of late, the luncheon given Tuesday by the ambassador of Italy, Senator Ricci, for Gen. Pietro Badoglio, former commander-in-chief of the Italian army, was one of the largest and most notable of the summer season; the same afternoon the general was received by the President at the White House. The following day the President received Viscount James Bryce, former ambassador to the United States from Great Britain, who, with Lady Bryce, spent several days here b Viscount Bryce will give a series of lectures. The entertaining for them was of an informal nature, due partly, no doubt, to the absence of the British ambassador, Sir Auckland Geddes, in Maine, and the brief inter- val they remained in the capital. The former United States ambassador to France and Mrs. Hugh Wallace were other visitors of the week, and while here were the guests of the third assistant secretary of state, Mr. Robert Woods Bliss. THE official set is deeply interested in the formation of a new club to . be known as the Congressional Country Club, with a membership limited to members of Congress, other officials and those closely asso- ciated with them. Invitations are being sent to those qualified for mem- bership, and the plan is fostered by a group of congressmen, of which Representative Hamilton Fish, jr., of New York is one. The committee has in mind an ideal site, with facilities, for an eighteen-hole golf course, a swimming pool to be fed by two streams of water which pass through the grounds, a clubhouse adapted in every way to the needs of the members, and the erection of cottages for the occupancy of members in the summer will be an added feature. T\VO important engagements were announced here last week, the first, that of Miss Mary Shepherd, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Aléxander R. Shepherd and grand-daughter of the late Alexander R. Shepherd, a not- able figure in the history of the city, to Capt. Ludson D.

Mr. Herrick's Plight Shows Great Need Of U. S. Embassies Government Now Owns Two, One in Japan and Other in Turkey—Funds Appropri- ated for Two More. The embarrassment of the United States ambassador to France, Mr. My- ron T. Herrick, at the lack of suitable quarters for himself brings into prom- inence the government ownership of embassies and legations. It was not the policy of this government to own land outside of the United States, but as in the case of Mr, Herrick, it has many times been difficult for a rep- resentative at a foreign capital to find a house adapted to his duties and position. This has become more ap- parent as this country has grown, 8o that efforts to build homes for our representatives abroad have been and are still being made. Today this government owns two embassies, one in Japan and the other in Turkey, although the latter is not now an embassy, oWing to the sever- ance of diplomatic relations several years ago. Congress has appropriated $150,000 for an embassy in Mexico, and_ $130,000 for ome in Chile, but The second secretary of the Brazilian | work has not been started on these embassy, Mr. Joaquim de Sousa Leao, buildings as yet.
