. Vice President Guest of . SOCIETY CLNEDINST PMOTO | Diplomats and Debutantes At High Tide of Season; Many Dinners Are Planned Ambassadors and Ministers Arrariging Many Af- fairs in Honor of Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes, Who Will Return Honor. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ELEGATES, diplomats and debutantes, those are the three most important elements of society just now, and while the important dinner parties and other formal functions for the delegates are lessening in number, the diplomats and debutantes are at high tide. Aside from having the delegates from their countries to look after, the ambassadors and ministers are also engaged in arranging their dinners in honor of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes, who in turn are planning their own program for the diplomats, and especially the New Year day breakfast, which is one of the most brilliant traditions in Washington’s official history. And all the while the debutantes are flitting here, there and everywhere with terribly important mien—a dinner here, a luncheon there, dances, balls and what not—all the time regaling themselves with the idea that they are completely submerged in the big social life of the capital. ’I'HE opening of Congress tomorrow will find the greater part of its representation housed and settled for the winter and many families well on with their early winter program. The Congressional Club, with its already dainty interior made more attractive by refurbishing, will more than ever prove its valuable part in official life. The first important event on a winter’s program replete with important things will be the reception in honor of the wives of delegates to the conference on the limitation of armament, to be held Friday afternoon from four to six o'clock at 2001 New Hampshire avenue, with admission by card only. Mrs. Irvine L. Lenroot, wife of Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, is president of the club, and at Friday's reception Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the Vice President, and Mrs. Gillett, wife of the Speaker, will preside at the tea table, while the officers of the club will assist Mrs. Lenroot in receiving. VERYWHERE there are teas, luncheons and receptions to call to- gether bodies of women to meet the ladies of the conference, the largest_affair of last week being the luncheon given Monday at the Hotel Raleigh by the National Federation and the Washington Federa- tion of Women’s Clubs. Brilliant speeches and a general air of cordiality gave a lasting impression, while the reception at the home of the League of American Pen Women Thursday, with Mrs. Du Puy, the national presi- dent, as hostess, added another laurel to the social history of the or?ni- zation. An affair of interest will be the reception given in honor of the delegates to the arms conference Tuesday evening at 9:30 o'clock at the National Board of Farm Organizations, 1731 I street, with the organ- ized farmers of the United States as hosts. 'I'HE dinner to be given by the Gridiron Club, the most famous body of newspaper men in America, will top all other social entertaining Saturday, the important delegates and guests from other countries, with the President, the Vice President, the Speaker of the House, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Taft; cabinet members, senators, representatives and other of mankind being guests. WITH a permanent hold on Washington’s heart-strings, the annual rummage sale for the Child Welfare Society is sure to call together Saturday at 10:30 o'clock in the morning a large group of women promi- nent in society, who will be merchants for disposing of the collection of wares, the sale to last all day. The sale has been arranged to take place at 1405 H street, and an unusually interesting collection of things awaits the buyers, Mrs. Charles W. Woodhull being chairman of the sale.

December Brings First Official Function in Executive 'Family lN otes of the Miss dn Diplomats; Many Dinners Scheduled Auspicious Opening of Local| Baroness Shidehara Expected to Arrive in U. S. December 15—Mme. Peter to Return From Switzerland Next Week—Social Activities. Social Season Matter of Record — Mrs. Harding Paves the Way. Scarcely ever has a social season opened in Washington under such propitious circumstances, the arma- ment conference in progress, most of the official families settled in their winter quarters and many of the social amenities disposed of. Mrs, Harding paved the way in a gracious manner for a reformation in the call- ing code of this season, which has so far passed without criticism, and has given women of the official world a better opportunity for becoming ac- quainted, and yet relleved them of the incessent round of mere card for- malities. December brings the first official en- tertainment in the executive family, the President and Mrs. Harding giv- ing their dinner in honor of the cabi- net on December 15, while this week Mrs. Coolidge, wife of the Vice Pres- ident, and the wives of members of the cabinet will hold their first Wed- nesday afternoon receptions. Mrs. Hughes will have her daughter, Miss Hughes, to assist her, and there will be several ladies assisting at the tes table, other cabinet members’ wives following out about the same order of things. Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Fall and Mrs. Davis will receive jointly at Wardman Park Hotel, while Mrs. ‘Weeks, Mra. Denby and Mrs. Hoover, wives, respectively, of the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Na and the Secretary of Commerce, will receive in their own homes. ‘These receptions are to be held each first Wednesday of the month except in January, when the second Wednes- day will be observed. . It is quite well understood that, while the cabinet women, because of the heavy demands upon their time|paio, the and strength, will return no visits this season, and the wives of the diplomats, under the 1d- Mme. Jusserand. wife of the French ambassador, dean of the corps, will observe the same change, the rule, of course, will no ply to the formalities of dinner and the other amenities of socia] life. The changes so far wrought do not mean an upheaval in the official so- clal world by any means. Official hosteases will be more than happy to receive guests just as has always been the custom, but the change in which official women assent eagerly only does away with the general call- ing, which, in the nature of things, ecome almost impossible. Co-operative receptions, such as Mrs. Harding held and such as the ladies of e cabinet at Wardman Park will hold will lose a woman none of her personality or {ndividuality in ontoru.lnlnf and will only give her more time for individual visiting. At Congress Hall, the George Washing- ton Inn, Wardman Park Hotel, the New Willard and wherever large groups of congressional folk spend i H has b i thi Mra. Har- read. perform Good ! too, £ oy bl the winter, the co-operative tea or reception has long been the custom. One nover left one of these affairs without tingle of real pleasure. leved that the curtailment n cabinet has come to stay, and that it will give women a much better chance for intimate ac- quaintance in the first and second seasons of 1ife here than merely chasing will-o’-the-wisps with a bit of board in hand. Gloves Again in Vogue In Local Social Circles Gloves again? Yes, gloves again, both long and short. Relegated to the list of unessentials during the wer, they are again just coming in vogue in Washington, and one sees long white gloves for evening wear on he more matronly women, while the younger folk atill taboo them. Skirts, ), are longer and evening gowns not so low cut. The women coming from foreign countries to attend the conference brought about all these changes in st ‘as they did slip- pers and hosiery to match, and so they are termed * Fooh blue is the reigning ing the place of the deeper Harding Mra, Harding herself bhas adopted it for various occasions, The ambassador of Belgium and Baroness de Cartier will entertain at dinner this evening.
