The President and Mrs. Harding will return the middle of this week from taken the Mayflower, going north along the coast to Portland. Me. They NOR are the members of Congress being held in Washington bY |wil be accompanied on their return session amiss in hospitality, there being small but interesting com- panies marking each night, with sometimes scarce more than a half dozen senators or representatives meeting about a hospitable board. Senator and Mrs. Kellogg, who are occupying the delightiul house at 19th and R streets, have a small party with them almost every night, the soft shaded lights and breezy electric fans turning the dining room into a beauty spot, alluring their friends without any effort on their part. HERE is an intimation that the President and Mrs. Harding may exceed the length of their well planned rest in New Hampshire on dccount of necessary repairs to the White House, such as changing underground pipes, etc., no such repairs having been carried on since the restoration of the mansion in the Roosevelt administration. ' The i interior as well as the exterior is receiving its dress of shining white paint, but aside from very necessary repairs there will be nothing added to the furnishing oi the state drawing rooms. As Mrs. Harding will carry out the program of official state entertainment, there will neces- . sarily be extra linens and a replacement of china required. At any . Trate, it is intended to have the odor of fresh paint out of the house ,before the family returns. WITH the constant shuffling about of diplomats in and out of Wash- : ington and from one post to another, it is indeed a compliment that Senor Don Ignacio Calderon, for so many years representative of Bolivia to this country, should so live in the hearts of his colleagues in the ,corps and Washington folk in general that his birthday anniversary should be remembered. That is what happened last week, and much to his sur- iprise and delight his friends from the Pan-American Union and others ‘who have become attached to him sent him remembrances and good wishes all during the day. Senor Calderon has 'Iade his home in Wash- ington for more than sixteen years, representing his government most “of the time. _$/OUNGER members of the diplomatic corps are chafing under en- forced residerice in the capital during August, and many of themare | _,phnning to attend the lawn tennis tournaments at various summer Iplaces. Others are planning interesting sightseeing trips over the country and a still larger number are gathering at Newport and Bar Harbor for the August season. A few of the older diplomats, like the ambassador of Spw‘n, Senor Riano, find the capital bearable even in mid-August and rare g«‘ ng on with a comfortable existence quite as if it were midwinter. ‘Representative Oliver Mrs. Franklin K.

The Mayflower was bullt for Robert Goelet of New York, who gave her to the government for use iduring the Spanish war. after which she was again put into commission as a pleasure craft for use of the President. the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt being the first President to benefit by it. President and Mrs. Harding have enjoyed the Mayflower, spending a number of the week ends since they became chief executive and first lady of the land, respectively, cruising on the Potomac and the bay, and Mrs. Harding has varied her frequent small tea parties by taking her guests for a short sail and having tea served aboard. The President is, however, not the only official who has a yacht at his beck and call, for the Secretary of the Navy has the Sylph, which is now at the navy yard. Some years ago the U. S. S.

The Dolphin is now the flagship of the special service squadron of the Canal Zone and is no longer used for pleasure. There are a number of other yachts and houseboats that appear fre- quently on the Potomac ' and are many times at anchor in the harbor. P. Morgan’'s Corsair has been a visitor in these waters many times. Senator and Mrs. Joseph S. Freling- huysen had their houseboat Vic- toria at anchor just off East Po- tomac Park, and for several weeks lived aboard, taking short week end trips. and then sailed to their sum- mer home, in Raritan, N.

The gown was extremely simple, made on long straight lines with a V_decol- lete, and a cluster of shaggy French flowers of a vivid shade of red hold- ing the scarflike girdle at one side, with a garland of the flowers falling from it. The skirt had an overdress cut in deep points at the sides which fell below the hem and gave the new uneven effect. She carried a red fan of coque feathers which added a chic touch. Miss Barrymore wore a very effective gown of gray chiffon sug- gestive of the charming new modes, made on slender lines with draperies of chiffon and the much talked -of un- even hem line.
