Miss HELEN CANNON LeSEURE, Miss. Cannow:, With Return of Hardings From Southern Vacation 3 {‘Mrs. Harding to Receive Delegates-to National League of Woman Voters—Dinners . and Dances. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. RULY the President and Mrs. Harding are the hosts of the nation, Guest for the winter and Spring of her dunl for in their absence from the capital all entertaining, no matter how brilliant, lacks the proper executive flavor. While there has been but little social activity in the White House since their return k jrmn Florida, the social temperature has risen perceptibly and Easter en- Yertainments, while still in embryo, are forming favorably. The presence of ! 4he President and Mrs. Harding at the theater Thursddy night, Mrs. H }hrding‘s visiteto the Senate gallery Friday and her various little at ‘, homes like that of yesterday afternoon all give life a keener interest in Y4he Chief Executive and the first lady of the land. Closely following ( ster Monday and continuing until their departure for Alaska, the { 3Vhite House will present an unusually interesting program, with the : Army and Navy reception on April 19—for which the chosen guests have ":%#herished their invitations and entrance cards since February 23, when the event was postponed on account of the Roma disaster—of by far ‘fhe greateat importance. - O E of the definite engagements of Mrs. Harding is that to receive the delegates to the National League of Women Voters who will ecet at the pan-American conference in Baltimore and will spend April in Washington. A special train will be run from Baltimore on that Hlay and a number of the most prominent women in the capital will Lerve as hosts to the visitors, Mrs. Harding’s reception taking place the aiternoon. A series of garden parties seems inevitable for the warmer days of spring and noematter how strenuous otherwise the garly season the trip to Alaska will compensate for it all. H ! LITTLE dining, a little dancing, some visiting and a theater now and then has given Washington society another pleasant social enten week, the largest dance being that given by Mrs. Charles Bough- on Wood, for her niece Miss Graves, while the largest dinner party as that for the new_Postmaster General and Mrs. Work, with the ssistant Postmaster General and® Mrs. Glover as hosts. Much of the ntertaining revolved about Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Gibson, the introdyction b1 the latter o Washington society being particularly propitious. The ! Eccretary oi the Navy and Mrs. Denby were also entertained several : fimes and there were some unusually charming events like the Army by a dinner with Gen. Persh- ance at Raucher's, which was. preceded ng as host and a number of other dinners. LD Washingtonians who have looked upon Carcoran house on H street and the McLean house on K street, the residences but a few Hlocks apart, for all the years of their lives feel a great decree of sad- ness in watching them being changed from the center ot social life % the capital into business buildings. Not to go very far back into { history, it may be recited that it was in the Washington McLean house that Admiral Dewey was entertained on his triumphal return from the ictory of Manila bay, and it was there_that his courtship of Mrs. i Hazen, born Mildred McLean, took place. The last great brilliant social ZFevent in the residence was the marriage of Margaret Draper, daughter {7pf the late Mr. and Mrs. William F. Draper to Prince Boncompagni, H yvh:n Cardinal Gibbons came from Baltimore to officiate. ] § RMER Senator and Mrs. Chauncey M. Der~v: were in Washington %" stopping en route irom Florida ta New York, when work on tearing 7“lown Corcoran house was in progress, and they were deeply touched, for it was there that the then senator took his bride shartly after their marriage in Paris. Shades of great statesmen of earlier days have : geemed to haunt old Corcoran house, and its demolition is a matter of %_ctn distress to_historians. It was there that Daniel Webster made is home while Secretary of State, and it is recorded that the Ashbur- ‘ fon treaty was discussed and practically concluded there. Na other i square or vicinity in Washington possesses mere houses of interest onnected with the earlier history of Washington than Layfayette «3quave with Corcoran house one of the most interesting of them al ashington Matrons {Mre. Harding Gives Tea Announce Days at fiomei For Woman Writers Mrs. Harding received a small group of woman writers at an in- formal but charmingly appointed tea at the White House yesterday afters noon, most of the guests being per- sonally known to her through their connections with large publications and their professional work in writ- ing of the social side of White House life. The drawing rooms were espe- cially decorated for the occasion, the rarest flowers from the propagating gardens heing arranged in the state suite, and on the tea table, at which Miss Harlan presided, there was a silver vase holding a huge cluster of ink carnations and asnapdragons tb correspond with the rose-pink shaded candles. One of the two White House aides present made the introductions to Mrs. Harding, who wore a becoming and graceful gown of Harding blue crepe de laine, gracefully draped and with long fringe in the same shade of blue used effectively on both the bodice and skirt. On the skirt were lozenge-shaped inserts of cloth of gold embroidered in blue. After receiving her guests Mrs. Harding went, with them to the state dining robm, where sh led free- 1y, chatting snd taking with them. ] 4 s 2 and again April 9 “Hor the last time this season.

Wood's Second In List of Week’s Eventsi Son at Manila Sunday Miss Katharine Thompson of Wilmington, Del., Who Served With Forces Over- secas, Has Gone to Bride- . groom's Home for Cere- mony. Of far more than usual interest cen- ters on the wedding next Sunday of Miss Katherine Thompson of Wil- mington, Del, and Lieut Osborn C. Wood, second son of Gov. Gen. Leon- ard K. Wood of the Philippines, at the latter's home in Mapila. Miss Thompson is one of the most widely known American girls, and is as much at home in London or Paris as she is in Washington, Philadelphia or New York. She is beautifully educated and is highly accomplished, a lover of sports and excels equally at temnis, gelf or riding to the Vicmead hoynda, a hunt composed of the society lead- ers of Wilmington and named in gnrt after a daughter of Senatar du ont, who i the active head of the organization. Miss Thompson has pos- sibly one of the finest war records of any of her countrywomen. At the firat call after America entered the con- flict she hastened to Paris as a mem- ber of & Philadelphia Emergency Aid, and drove automobiles, and subse- quently joind a Red Cross unit as an alde to Miss Kitchener, sister of Lord Kitchenor, and later still abtained permission to go to the front to an evacuation hospital at Day la Duc, and was slmast directly under Ger- map shellfire & number of times. She was in the service when the armi- stice was signed and cheered the American division as it bored its way through the Hindenburg liae. Again she returned to Paris and drove motor cars In Miss Harriman's unit and later went to Belgium at the in- stancer of Mr. Herbert Hoover, and aided his ?eruonll staft in the dis tribution of food and clothing among the war orphans af that country. Aft er a brief visit to her family here she returned to France with Miss Anne Morgan of New York, and spent seven months In the devastated dis- trict of the Anivy le Couteau region, arriving home early in January aund hurylg away a few daya later to visit Miss Wood, sister of her flance. who is a member of his father's staff and of his househeld in Manila. The first intimation received by Miss Thompson's friends here of an attachment for Lieut. Wood came with the announcement of the en- gagement a day or two ago. Directly after the date for the wedding was made public, but at 3 time too early to permit any of her friends or fam- ily attending the ceremonles. Mies Thempsaon is the daughter of Mr, and Mrs, Henry B. Thompson, who have a pretty country place in the suburbs of Wilmington and wealthy. Mra, Thompson was a B tional, 88 well as local, leader in the ant{-suffragist movement while the amendment for ratification was pend- ing, and prevented slmost umaided Delsware legislature from adopt ing it, even though it was urged that its vote would have been the decisive indorsement—completing the neces- sary two-thirds of the states. Miss Thompson's __maternal grandfather, Gen. James Harrison Wilsop, U. 8. A., retired, is the only survivor of the civil war of his rank. He lives inp Wilmington, is well past eighty-five and vigorous and active, a leader of the older social oircle. He rejoined the service at the outhreak of the ®pani: h-American war, serving as commander of the forces at Porto Rico, and subsequently was ap- inted governor general ef the sland. While there his wife was accldentally burned to death, step- ping on & match, Which set her light Wlal me ablaze. 1t is probable that Lieut. and Mrs. Wood_will come to thia country on their honeymoon, returning later and remaining until the governor general retires from the ATmy to take up his work as head of the University of Pennsylvanis- < Judge and Mrs. Ballow \ldi Hosts This Afternoon MRg.
