. . v Tales of Well Known Folk ~-In Social and Official Life Mrs. Coolidge Generous '\-. Flowers at Eastertid in Gifts of White House e—Cabinet Officers’ SOns Welcomed. BY MARGARET B. DOWNIN Mrs, Coolidge welcomes Easter with its profusion of flowers, and as she has shown a decided preference for TOE6S these radiant blooms far out- number the traditional Easter lily. Not only have ‘the propagating gard- ens its myriad blossoms and exquisite flowering plants, but Washington is sradually following the custom of the old world capitals and is ex- changing floral greetings in the briskest sort of way. Mrs, Coolidge has remembered the cabinet ladies out of the abundance which the | White House gardens offer, and many | other friends besides. She never fails to send & handsome cluster of flowers In scason to the Senate Women's Luncheon Club and she occasionally greets the Congres- sional Club in the same pleasant man- ner. But Washington has not adopted the Kaster lily, that fra- grant ccclesiastical emblem of the day of resurrection. It seems too coid and formal for home decoration and very few are mingled with the azaleas. the dwarf climbing and the many spring blossoms which fill the state drawing rooms and which fairly riot in the private apartments of the presidential home. Many flowers were sent to Mrs. Cool- idge also and they have been given # place in the upper corridor where the President has his lounge and the First Lady a combined boudoir and sitting rcom. In the few leisure mo- ments which now fall to her, Mrs. Coolidge’s knitting needles click mer- rily and she prafers to work in full view of the south flower beds and with her table laden with blooms. Tn many of the old world capitals the dean of the diplomatic corps for- mally sends floral greetings to the members of the official world where he is serving, and of course the mem- hers of the corps remember the day of the resurrection with flowers for each other. Mme. Jusserand has re- veived scores of lilles, for the Latins, loth European and American, cling 1o the old idea, and no other blos- som except a lily would answer the rpose at Easter. The Latin Amer- icans here remember their dean, the tilean ambassador, with a profusion Lilium canadensis, “or aununciation as they are cailed locally. They nd flowers to each other ge with thi n with flow- ers, pring bulbs, which are of the sam mily and add color | without departing from the tradition For three or four days before the feast the Washington streets are gay with messengers, boys carrying gor- geous boxes tied with ribbons, and With flowering shrubs all decked out in green trimmings, with vivid red or bright pink ribbons keeping them in pla Washington raises all its own flowers now, anc besides the almost countless shops there are scores of frazrant stands on streets and in hotel lobbies, where any sort of Easter greeting is procurable.

But after a year of voice culture, she gave up this ambition and devoted herself to plano music and Is now considered one, of. the most brilliant_ instrumentalists in Washington. She is the ideal accom- panist and is constantly sought when Vocallsts are tried out in the air.

This association, which is made up exclu- sively of Army men who have served In the far east possessions or civilians or public oficials who have been ac- tively identified with its development, has a most distinguished membership. which includes the Chief Justice and Gen. Pershing, both of whom seldom fail to attend ‘the annual dinner held in May in New York city.

It is a regular benefaction | and has at once placed the younger cabinet contingent on a brilliant foot- | ing, such as it has not enjoyed through | several administrations. Lt is true that | none of these young men is immediately available, but certainly they will be for | holiday dances next winter, if not per- manently. The two lads in the President’s fam- ily are coming on, two, und there are two sons in the Hoover household. The three sons of the Secretary of the ) and Mrs. Wilbur are very enthusiastic Californians and have no idea of re- linquishing their claim on the home state except on special occasions. But they will be here for the last round of the summer al fresco season, and that taste of Washington's social pleasure may make them hunger for more.

But in the strenuous days ch befell the nation art consid- jons were neglected and there is Ylong interval in’ which the charm- women who presided over the iite House are not portrayed on its whils in that role. Mrs. Coolidge's handsome portrait, the gift of the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, follows the best traditions about the | avases of the first ladies. The ‘Women's Christian Temperance Union was the donor of that splendid picture of Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes. The Daughters of the American Revolu- tion presented Mrs. Benjamin Har- rison's. Lady Geddes is vividly recalled in the gay border of tullps and daffodils which surrounds the circular walks leading both to the embassy and chancery doors of the British em- hassy, and it seems a pity that she never returned to Washington to her planting. Lady Geddes brought these bulbs from her home one summer and had them and the box hedge placed about the walks and in the few open plots in the rear garden. But she had returned to England before the following spring, and last year, Sir Auckland’s health having failed com- pletely, he was compelled to seek aid in London. But the bulbs have bioomed much more profusely this spring than ever before. It seéms to have required two seasons for them to get acclimated, and now they are doing their bravest. There are many of the old-fashioned garden tulips rarely seen in Washington. where the taller varieties, like the Darwins or the parrot tulips, flourish. There are many of the blue and white Roman hyacinths, single and very fragant. The box hedge is thriving and is mak. ing an attractive weave in and around the walks, which Lady Geddes desired, With few resources, the grounds of the British embassy are making quite a brave showing. So many sweet singers serving in the national legislature are appearing regularly as radio entertainers and getting such a reputation that the lure of the footlights may prove too strong for their prosaic duties.

The Rosses of Bladensburg never figured in later Brit- ish annals, and the last descendant of John Ross, co-joint despoiler of the ational Capital, died on a small coun- try estate and had been in civil life for many vears and more interested in horses and hounds and the meets of the hunt clubs than in political affairs.

They also have dipped ‘into real extate in federal city. for in all the old records. on the maps and in the letters of in: structions from President Washing- ton to his engineer, Maj.

The Capitol building now crowns the eminence known for a half cen tury before Washington's coming as “Jenkins' Hill.” Mr. Thomas Jenkins is the only surviving brother of the late Miohael Jenkins, for many years treasurer of the Catholic in Northeast Washington. must Lady Astor nas according to re- cent news, put into execution an idea which Mrs. James Bryce, now Vis- countess Bryce, often expressed at official levees in Washington. The sprightly member from Plymouth had neat little tags provided for all her guests at a numerously attended political salon, and the result was a wonderful success. Mrs. Bryce often looked wistfully about her in the east room and remarked to any one nearby that if all the people present had their names tagged on their gar. ments ahe would have a more satis- factory time. There were, she was ure, hundreds whom she wished to know and yet no one could point them out or introduce them. Lady Astor not only proclaimed the name and rank of each guest at her re- coption, but she neatly dovetailed & line of political affiliation. If some cnterprising hostess in Washington would follow out this suggestion it would work almost a social revolu- tion. At a dinner, for instance, part- ners would take in at a glance téplcs to be avolded and those which would be welcome, und harmony and pleas- ure for all would result.” Mrs. Bryce cveral times broached the ‘idea to me American friends. But Wash- ington was smaller and much more conservative twelve years ago and she gained no supporters. The British premier, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, has solved the vexed ques- tion of the post of master of the horse by appointing the Earl of Granard to the post. The' earl has alwayvs shown declded leanings toward the Labor party and has also taken a prominent place in the new Irish Free State. He is an inimitable horseman, coming of generations of Celtic ancestors, to whom man’s best friend has always been a ruling passion. The Countess of Gra- nard, the daughter of Mr. Ogden Mills of New' York and sister of the present representative from New York « city, now becomes a prominent lady at court, and Is, consequently,-with Queen Mary at weekly levees in Buckingham Palace, Lady Granard has been given speciai charge of the many Americans who wish to be presented at the May draw- ing rooms, and this is a task to fill every waking moment. Never was the American contingerit moré numerous, and every boat and every train brings recruits who wish to be in readiness for the opening of the British empire expowition, the end of May. While only a stated number will be received at the drawing rooms, Queen Mary, like the First Lady in Washington, has found that other means must be d vised to satisfy the increasing demands besides those offered by the formal of- ficial program. There are to be weekly garden parties at Windsor, to which the Countess of Granard: will marshal those of her countrypeople who come vided with the necessary papers and troductions.
