Put Forward to April 19, Gives Quite a Rest . to Mistress of White House—Reception to Lawyers and Wives. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. O(EIETY was settling comfortably down into a week of dignified offi- S cial and semi-official entertainment, everything hinging upon the ‘White House reception for the grand finale of state functions, when, for the second time within a brief period, it was thrown into a panic by a terrible disaster, that of the Roma. Fully four thousand guests had been invited to the Army and Navy reception, and society of many cities would have been represented, making it quite the largest and most brilliant of the winter's series. However, even with this curtailment of events, the President and Mrs. Harding have made a splendid record as the nation’s hosts, and now there remains for them only the several cabi- et dinners, which this season are quite small affairs. E date for the Army and Navy reception, April 19, admits of quite a rest for the mistress of the Whit= House, who, even during Lent, must receive parties informally and by appointment. The reception to the noted lawyers attending the legal conference, and to their wives, was a much less formal affair than it would have been had not the White House put out the signal of distress for the lost passengers of the ill- fated air craft. The other social events of the week attending the pres- ence of the delegates were not lacking in dignity and beauty, and Mrs. Clarence N. Goodwin, wife of the chairman of the conference, and Mrs. Severance, wife of the president of the bar association, both proved themselves past.masters at entertaining and being entertained. The cabi- net dinner of Tuegday night, when the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Falf entertained the President and Mrs. Harding; the dinner in the same suite at the New Willard the night before, when the Attorney General entertained the Supreme Court; the reception at the embassy of Great Britain when the ambassador and Lady Geddes entertained Congress; the several embassy and legation dinners and luncheons and the entertain- ments for Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Severance, all combined to bring to- gether large and brilliant companies. Today there are several notable -events taking place for those—or by those—attending the legal confer- ence. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft will be guests at dinner tonight ~of Mr. and Mrs. Cordenio A. Severancge, for whom Mr. and Mrs. William Eri¢ Fowler will entertain at a breakfast today. 'VEN with the many vicissitudes attending the Washington Opera Com- any in the way of securing a place to give its splendid presentation of ‘gamson and Delilah,” nothing better could have happened than secur- ing the auditorium of the Central High School, where additional boxes have been installed and a much larger audience may be entertained. Each of the hostesses who were to have entertained box parties at the New National Friday evening will have with them even larger companies to- mogrow night, the holders including Miss Mabel Boardman, Mrs. William Eric Fowler, Mrs. Charles Boughton Wood, Mrs. Thomas F. Logan, Mrs. ‘William McClelland Ritter and Mrs. George Mesta. Many of the patron- esses for the opera, including Mme. Jusserand, Senora de Riano, Senora de'Mathieu, Mme. Le Breton, Senora de Pezet, Mme. Bryn, Mme. Grouitch, Mme. Wallenberg, Mme. Peter, Mme. de Cespedes and others, will attend either as hostesses or guests. INNER parties for tomorrow night will, many of them, be advanced to a slightly earlier hour on account of attending the opera, the per- formance, however, having arranged its curtain raising for 8:30 o’clock instead of 8:15, to give that much more time for the assembling of guests. ‘The ambassador of France and Mme. Jus:ic:and, who will be guests at digner of the minister of Switzerland and Mme. Peter, will themselves be hosts Tuesday evening. The annual breakfast of the Congressional Clgb at Rauscher’s tomorrow will be marked by one of the best programs it Mas ever presented, and additional features to mark the last day before Lent will be the dinners to be given by the minister of Sweden and Mme. ‘Wallenberg, that by Mr. and Mrs. Willard Saulsbury, one by the coun- selor of the British embassy and Mrs. Henry Getty Chilton, and that with the¢, commandant of the Marine Corps and Mrs. John A.
