Y e e S I .y gt Program of White House Entertainments Revives Capital as Social Hub Hostesses in Diplomatic and Official Life Pre- pariag for Season Which Begins With Cabinet Dinner December 6. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HEN the official program for state entertainments was issued from the White House early last week, Washington once more resumed its place as one of the greatest social centers of the world. Hostesses in diplomatic and official life and the im- portant persons of wealth brought to the Capital because of its nautral social possibilities at once proceeded to arrange around the official re- ceptions and dinners their own programs for the season 1923-24. Wash- ington is undoubtedly the most important Capital of the world today, and naturally enough the official program is second to none. An invitation to the White House is a command, and matrons will naturally keep open the dates selected by the President and Mrs. Coolidge for receptions and dinners, lest their own social affairs suffer an upset by an invitation for themselves or one of their guests to an official affair. IL the first official dinner, that for the cabinet the night of Thurs- day, December 6, the President and Mrs. Coolidge will confine them- selves to the simple routine of life at the White House, having a few guests informally to lunch or dinner now and then, and Mrs. Coolidge selecting concerts as her chief mode of entertainment. She is following in the footsteps of Mrs. Harding and her predecessors in lending her name where it will most aid a good cause, and is especially interested in all movements to benefit the veterans of the world war. Having spent two former seasons in the Capital, Mrs. Coolidge is also interested in the local hospitals and other charities, which, instead of being mere local affairs such as other cities boast, are really semi-national institutions, with their inmates drawn from every state of the Union. ARTICULARLY appropriate and propitious are the several benefits for veterans of the world war, coming, as they do, just at the time Armistice day is celebrated throughout the land. Forget-me-not day ap- peal from the Disabled American Veterans of the World War yesterday had the sanction and assistance of both the President and Mrs. Coolidge, while this week Mrs. Coolidge and Gen. Hines are specially sponsoring the sale of articles made ky the ex-service men of the District veterans’ hospitals to be opened tomorrow at 1330 F street and lasting throughout the week. The sale is under the auspices of the George Baldwin McCoy Unit of the American Women's Legion, and two groups of women will assist in the sale each day, Mrs. Walcutt and Mrs. Patton being in charge tomorrow morning and Mrs. Mohler and Mrs. E. Lester Jones tomorrow afternoon. THREE debutantes from the diplomatic corps, one from the cabinet and several from the congressional set, combined with those of the Army and Navy and a few from resident society, give that sprightly element of the social world unusual and fascinating interest. Senorita Maria Luisa Torriente, daughter of the first ambassador of Cuba and Senora ' de 1a Torriente, though very young, will enter the ranks of buddom, and the name of Scnorita Carnmen Cordova, daughter of the minister of Hon- duras and Senora de Cordova, is now added to the list of debutantes. Mile. Nina Diamontopolos, sister of the secretary of the Greek legation, has been an announced member of the ranks for several weeks, or quite long enough to be included in the early luncheons and teas. 'HE annual Navy Relief ball the night of Thanksgiving day will call ' society en masse to the New Willard, and certainly a ball cou'd ‘not be given under more propitious circumstances. Mrs. Coolidge heads the list of patronesses, and, as is the annual custom, a box has been set aside for the President and the first lady of the land. The lure is strong for debutantes, as the beaux in general will be drawn from the uniformed ranks of society, including the foreign naval attaches of embassies and legations. Capt. Adolphus Andrews, aide to the President, will make the introductions. The ball is the one annual appeal for the needy families of the Navy and Marine Corps. TWO more local balls which make an annual appeal to society are the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hogpital ball at the New Willard ‘Wednesday night, November 28, which will afford the finishing dance for the debutantes of that day, and the ball on the night of December 12 at Rauscher’s for the Columbia Hospital. Both events make a strong appeal to all Washingtonians, whether in or out of official life. Another local benefit leading up to the official season will be the bazaar and tea arranged by the Starmont Aid for Consumptives at the Harrington Hotel Mund? and Tuesday, November 19 and 20. Scarcely has a pre-holiday sale offered so many attractive gifts for Christmas as are being placed on sale for this bazarr, while the cause and its necessities speak strongly to the public just now. Notes of the Cabinet Of Special Interest The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, will be joined this week by bis daughter, Miss Ailsa Mellon, who bhas been in New York for a week or ten days.

S- Ftom Cuba Is Dr. de la Torriente Spent Much Time in District When Young — Daughter to Make Debut. Cuba’s first ambassador fo Wash- tngton 1s well known in the eity, for since his early manhood he has made many visits to the American capital and has spent months In residence here. Semora de la Torrlente and her young daughter, Senorita Maria Lulsa, come for the first time. For the vivacious senorita it will be a winter of great significance. As she has never been formally presented to soclety, her parents will take the ausplicious occasion presented and, after the formalities which ‘attend the Induction of so lofty & personage as an ambassador into the official world and the circle of his colleagues, will strike a lighter note in a debut ball. But, as the ambassador and his fam- ily have only just arrived in this country, after some strenuous months in Geneva, where they were living. all these plans are as yet nebulous and must await the presenting of credentials at the White House and the State Department and, for Senora de 1a Torriente, the etiquette of call- ing on her seniors in the corps and other' prescribed social obligations. Dr. de la Torriente Is one of the most distinguished of Cuban states- man, and prior to his appointment as first ambassador from his country to its big, friendly neighbor, he was serving as senator from his native city, Matanzas, and was chalrman of its committee on foreign relations. He was merely on a special mission to Geneva In connection with the sessions of the league of natlons When he was chosen the president of that august body and on the same day was named as ambassador to Washington, He is, besides being chairman of the Cuban delegation of | four leading lawyers, who are per- manent members of The Hague tribunal of arbitration. Has Many Honors. Political honors which have been showered upon the Cuban ambassa- lor since his country achieved its independence would make a lengthy list. He gained many laurels on the vattlefield and, in consequence, has for the past ten years been the presi- dent of the veterans of the war of the Independence. He was in_the dashing assault on Santiago de Cuba and there won the runk of colonel. But when Spanish sovereignty was | finally overthrown In his country, Dr. de la Torriente returned to poli- tics and the law, for which profes- sions he had been prepared in the University of Havana and In the practical way in the United States. Gen. Willlam Ludlow, first military governor of Havana, after the with- drawal of the Spanish garrison, ap- pointed the young lawyer secretary of the civil government and then made him civil governor of the en- tire district. It was during this service that the May Brock of Havana and, shortly after, was sent with his bride to Madrid as secretary of the first dip- lomatic mission which the former colony sent to its mother country. He was, immediately after his ar- rival in Madrid, made minister and special envoy to the marriage of King Alfonso and Princess Ena of Battenburg. now known as Queen Victoria. The young minister, who had been so ardent a patriot during the revolt which began in 1895 and ended triumphantly with Independ- ence for Cuba, received much honor at court and It happened that he stood with Senora de la Torriente ! quite near the royal bridegroom and his bride when that anarchistic bom! exploded In the nuptial hall and killed and wounded several hundred people within a few feet of the throne. Alfonso and his queen were entirely uninjured, as happily were |also Dr. Torriente’ and his wife and nearly all members of the diplomatic corpe. But it was a stupendously ex- citing’ way to be recelved when he had come to heal the wounds between Cuba and her former sovereign. Brillant Season Seen.
