MME.DEJEAN and has just gssumed his post Haitian Minister woERWO0D - Whose huwsb, as President and Wife Go To Florida Tomorrow On First Trip in Months Congressional Society Bidding Capital Farewell, Many Members Destined for Ex- tended Journeys Abroad. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. I Mr: Harding will begin their long-looked-for ithern trip tomorrow, and for the first time in many months he White House will be deserted by its official tenants. That they are able to arrange such a trip is a matter of keen delight not only to themselves and their friends. but to the nation as a whole. With life spent almost entirely in the open for several weeks, they are expected to return to the capital in perfect health. Mrs. Harding’s ward- robe, adapted to the imate at this season, is simple, but com- ol of all womankind in that it has been arranged without a sin shopipng on her part, designers and importers ta i White House for inspection and purchasec. . almost as a whole, is bidding farewell to Washington—some for a short and some for a long period—with a degree of resignation seldom witnessed, for most of them are planning to start on some lengthy trip to foreign lands, many going to South America, some only to Panama and Porto Rico or Hawaii, while others are preparing for Alaska, and not a few starting on lengthy tours of rope. Somie of the newer folk in official life will tarry on here for a while, Icarning to manage themselves in and out of society, and some of the members of Congress just sworn in will remain to secure homes. TI( to an 100 e. and she is tl I greater part of the diplomatic corps will remain in Washington throughout the spring, taking only short trips, such as Senora de , will enjoy at the Virginia Springs. and a number are planning add charming if rather informal affairs to the social program. The rassador of Peru and Ser de Pezet will be hosts at a tea this after- and Saturday evening they will be guests at dinner for the newly appointed ambassador to Peru and Mrs. Miles Poindexter, who will be quite constantly cntertained until they leave for Lima. The ambassador of Ttaly will be host at dinner tomorrow night, and the minister of Poland and Mme. Wroblewska, will have guests dining with them March 15. OYALTY, cven when in mourning, does not fail to create a ripple of excitement in the social world, and the arrival of Prince Andrew nd his wife, Princess Alice of Battenberg, while exceedingly well man- 2zed from a democratic standpoint, did not create half so great a social ensation here as in Florida, where Col. and Mrs. Robert M. Thompson entertained them. Col. and Mrs. Thompson turned the royal visitors aver to their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. P. Pell, while in Washington, and the eagerness of Prince Andrew and Princess Alice to really see the capital of—to them—a new country was most Complimentary. 'umbia brar appeal for of the American National Red Cross was sending out an id for the Greek refugees. OCIETY delights in seeing its members stalk the stage in dramatic mood, and surely there has been a delightful reward for thof: suffi- ciently fortunate to have seen “L’Enfant Prodigue,” at the Ram’s Head Playhouse, and a real treat in store for those yet to see it. It is as re- reshing as a mountain spring in midsummer, and, with Robert Bell in ihe role of Le Jeune Pierrot, who follows the frivolous Phrynette, played Josephine Hutchinson. to his undoing, the extreme of sincere artistry nd poignant charm is reached. The production is the most delightful oi all those produced in the Ram’'s Head Playhouse, and is being pre- sented throughout this week by Robert Bell and Walter Beck. GAIN society folk will look upon its members in stage attire in the three one-act plays to he given in the Playhouse, on N street, Friday nd Saturd March 16-17, with an all-society cast. Miss Elizabeth Hanna, who has Dbefore been seen here in amateur dramatics, doing “Peg o’ My Heart” in artistic manner, will appear in “Food,” and Miss l.ouise Todd will have fl;c leading role in "Cl?d.’ Mllss Olive Graef is the star in “Waterloo,” and playing opposite the girls are as many men l‘qually well known. Th:pplgysgwill benefit the Child Welfare Associa- tion, in which Miss Hanna is deeply interested.
