00D S f b e MRS THERON BALL CLEMENT, A bricle of Monday.formerly Miss Dona Otey Berry of Georgetown Society Demonstrates Spirit of Hospitality Shows New Lease of Life Which Fills Days‘ and| Nights to Overflowing With Enter- ! tainment Features. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. | HE iriskiness of spring is in Washington society and the spirit of‘ hospitality has taken a new lease which fills the days and nights to overflowing with entertainment. The President and Mrs. Cool- | were hosts Thursday night the dinner and musical honor of the Speaker and Mrs. Gillett and many thousands of women were grected by Mrs. Coolidge in the course of the last days, con- | ventions of university women, Daughters of 1812, pen women and others | in large numbers being received, while almost cvery afternoon Mrs. | Coolidge reccived smaller groups of guests by special appointment | M\\\ for rest idge at in persons important in the social life of the Capital would leave l and recreation elsewhere were there not so many plca:am‘y memories of the picturesque White House garden parties of the past lingering in their minds and an abiding hope that Mrs. Coolidge will | take that form of entertaining several large companies during the com- ing months. Nothing in the entire social history of the Capital was ever more beautiful than this gathering of distinguished guests on the White | House grounds, the first lady of the land graciously recciving “the whole | utdoors™—as it were, and gay awnings, the brilliant uniforms of the Marine Band musicians and the wonderful costumes of the women and’ the uniforms of the men all lending charm. | — { HE Congressional Club gave its most glorified repast of the year | Wednesday in the form of its annual breakfast and truly the c\'enll was a success. Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Gillett sat. one upon the right and | the other upon the left of the hostess, Mrs. James . Byrnes, president | of the Congressional Club, and both arrived sufficiently early to stand with Mrs. Byrnes in receiving the club members. Mrs. Coolidge was as iresh and bright as a rose in her simple but charming costume of pearl gray crepe with stripes of a decper gray. fashioned in a one-piece gown. and a fine gleam of color added by her becoming red hat and red and gray scarf. Never wearing jewels, Mrs. Coolidge has adopted the fetching costumie jewelry™ now <o much in vogue and wore a rope of beads, oddly shaped and in a red color | ABIN liome are sufficiently rare to be a great success and | socicty fairly poured into the streets and avenues to make the round calls, starting with the home of the Secretary of State and Mrs. | and judging by the number, all winding up at once at the home | of the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur. Taking advantage of the splendid weather, every reception was crowded, hundreds visiting M Henry C. Wallace and Mrs. Davis at Wardman Park Hotel. The | minister of Esthonia and Mme. Piip took the cream off of cvery braach | of society for their reception at the New Willard Wednesday 1 aiternoon, | who had made the round of cabinct homes meeting there | g i1 days persons en masse. paramount smportance socially is the entertainment to be given in | Pan-American Union Building Tuesday evening—a dinner fol- | lowed by a reception—in honor of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes and with the plenipotentiaries of the special conrmission from Panama | and their wives, Mme. Alfaro and Mme. Chiaria and the sister oi Mr. Morales, Miss Morales, as hosts. There will be dancing at the reception, while the Aztec garden will be lighted with myriads of colored lights and opened for the promenade or sitting out dances. R O O | HE younger element will play hard and loose with society this wee starting off with the debutantes ball tomorrow night at the New Willard, an event for which the wily young persons have enlisted the | interest of society folk of all ages, and ending with the fifth and last ; of the series of junior dances of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps Sat- urday night. The debutantes, nothing daunted by the Mask and Wig show at the Belasco tomorrow night, have even sold a box to the boys and instead of some well known hostess entertaining for the actors, as is usually done. they will attend the ball. Among the other box holders for the bail are Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, Admiral Eberle, Col. Robert M. Thompson, Mrs. W. Harry Brown, Mrs, Francois Berger Morgan and Mr. C. Bascom Slemp. HI greatest attraction of thé midweek will be the polo ball Wed- nesday night, when for the evening the New Willard ballroom will be turned into a polo field with trophies and trappings of the game in evi- dence everywhere. President Coolidge has permitted his name to be| used as a sponsor. The polo_players will wear their sport clothes and members of the Riding and Hunt Club will wear pink coats. Receiving the guests will be the Secretary of War and Mrs. Weeks, the assistant secretary of war, Mr. Dwight Davis; Gen. Pershing, the chief of staff, and the deputy chief of staff and Mrs. John L. Hines, Col. Conrad S. Babcock and Maj. H. S. Higley will make the introductions. | 1E fifth and last of a series of dances to be given by the younger members of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps will be held at the New Willard Hotel Saturday evening. i This has been one of the most successful seasons in the history of this organization and the last dance promises to be particularly interesting.
