THE fiéfitj}%%rm,& Peru Envoy and Wife Are Hosts at Dinner to Mr. and Mrs. Poindexter| Dfplomatic Function. Attended by Sccretary ancl Mrs. Hughes., an Important Event, Despite Absence of Many From Capital Society. i H. PICKETT. HERE are so many elements that go to make up the social life of Washington that even with the President and Vice President,and Congress almost as an entircty absent. there is still enough left to render this one of the most interesting capitals in the world. ‘here have been several diplomats’ dinner parties of unusual interest, with that at the Pan-American building last night, with the ambassador of Peru and Senora de Pezet, noted for their splendid hospitality, as hosts and the American ambassador to Peru and Mrs. Miles Poindexter as Lonor guests, as most important. The Seeretary of State and Mrs. Hughes werc guests, the occasion being the first on which they have appeared in public. save at the cabinet dinner at the White House, in many weeks. There were other dinner parties in the corps of more or less formality, many luncheon parties, and all during the week enter- taining for the royal visitors from Greece. Tn};x. too, there is always something of unusual interest coming up in the diplomatic corps in the way of celebrations, and the afternoon New Year rcception, to be held in the Persian legation March 21, with the minister, Mirza Hussein Khan Alai. as host. will be preceded the night before by a dinner party. at which the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes will be guests. Many of the charming customs of Persia will have an outcropping at both the dinner and reception, and there will be a gencrous riot of spring flowers. The Czechoslovakian legation, noted for its delightful social affairs, was given unusual interest Wednesday night, when the charge d’affaires and Mme. Stangler entertained at a din- ner and reception to celebrate the seventy-third birthday anniversary of the much loved president of their little republic, Thomas G. Masaryk. SALLIE V. 'HE White Hou . indeed, a dismal place without its official hosts, or would be were it not for the hundreds of tourists who daily wend their way through the more public part of the mansion. Before leaving ‘Washington Mrs. Harding gave several orders, one to the effect that flowers were to be distributed to her friends and to hospitals, as well as sent to charity entertainments, and proof of her wishes being obeyed was evidenced in the fact of the splendid blossoms on the table of Mrs. Robinson Downey when she entertained at luncheon in the presidential suite of the New Willard yesterday. The other order, and one which concerns a much larger number of people, was in keeping the White House open to tourists. She has expressed herself as being quite able to appreciate the longing of small-town folk to see the White House, “for, she adds, “I am a small-town woman myself.” E Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge so quietly laid their plans for leaving Washington just after the close of Congress that they were en route to Hot Springs before half the city was aware of their absence. “They will undoubtedly remain away from Washington until shortly be- jore Congress meets in December, unless something unforeseen happens. With but few exceptions, the President’s cabinet will remain in the capi- tal, and a new exchange of formalities will go on between the Postmaster General and Mrs. New, as cabinet members, and other members of the President’s official family, as well as between them and the diplomatic corps and other branchés of officialdom. The Secretary of Interior and Mrs. Work are now well accustomed to the official routine, and Mrs. Work has frequently beer a luncheon hostess this spring, entertaining charmingly in her apartment at Wardman Park Hotel. HREE more wecks and society will face one of its gayest Easter sea- sons, starting Easter Monday with two balls of unusual size and in- terest. The annual Easter Monday ball of the women’s branch of the Army and Navy Relief will this year be given in the sail loft at the navy ward, and will undoubtedly enlist the attention not only of service folk, ‘who form one of the most delightful branches of society, but of Wash- ington society in general. The twentieth annual Dixie ball will be given by the Robert E. Lee Chapter, U. D. C,, at the New Willard Hotel Easter Monday night, and April 5 the cotillon will be given at Rauscher’s, with Mr, Gist Blair as chairman.
