INDE R WOD, vaper MRS. RALPH NAGEL, ormerly Miss Mary Qatherine Hazen White House Receptions Prove Equally Successful, Whether Indoors or Out Celebration of British Monarch's Birthday and Noted Society Weddings to Follow Week of Delightful Garden Parties. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. % RS. COOLIDGE proved conclusively for the second time this season that an indoor garden party could be quite successful, when Thursday she held her third and last reception, which was planned as an outdoor event. Like other garden parties of the week, that at the White House was moved indoors rather than postpone it, and the more than 2000 guests enjoyed the novelty to the fullest. Except for the garden party next Thursday, when invalid soldiers will be honor guets, and several receptions by special appointment to meet or- ganizations or socicties, the program at the White House is apparently over until next season. F all the garden parties planned for last week had materialized as such, society would have spent almost every waking hour outdoors. Unlike the party planned at Airlie for the Archeological Society Tuesday and which was entertained in the spacious mansion instead, the Rajah’s Gar- den, being truly a garden entertainment, could not be moved into the beautiful residence at Twin Oaks, and so it is a hold-over until tomorrow. “A colorful scene in a sylvan setting unequaled in the environs of Wash- ington, it will prove a lurc for the whole social world and will be one of the last big events of the season—except, of course, the weddings. CELEBRATING a king's birthday anniversary is naturally a novelty in the Capital of a great republic where the birth anniversary of its transient ruler goes almost unnoticed, and that at the British em- bassy Tuesday evening, when the ambassader and Lady Isabelle Howard will celebrate that of King George, is particularly interesting. They will again open the embassy Saturday evening, giving a dinner in honor of the Chief Justice, Mr. William Howard Taft. EGINNING with tomorrow there is a wedding of unusual interest for almost every day of the week, with those in the “service” being para- mount. St. Matthew’s Church will tomorrow furnish the setting at high noon for the wedding of Miss Jeannie Whitecotton and Mr. Camden Riley McAtee, when the uncle of the bride, Rear Admiral Robert E. Coontz, will give the bride away. A reception at Rauscher’s will follow the ceremony, and relatives of the bridegroom will come from Kentucky to attend, Miss Myra McAtee of Louisville, sister of the bridegroom, being maid of honor. THE following day Miss Emma Scott Stitt, daughter of the surgeon general of the Navy and Mrs. Stitt, will be married to Lieut. Robert Walton Fleming, U the ceremony being performed at 8 o'clock in the evening at St. Thomas' Church and followed by a reception at the Washington Club. The popularity of the little bride has been shown in a constant stream of entertainment ever since her engagement was an- nounced, NESDAY holds two particularly interesting weddings, one being as local as the other is foreign. The Ashford family, long identified with local society in the District, will furnish a bride in the person of Miss Agnes ‘Ashford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Snowden Ashford, to Ensign Robert Pierre Robert, U. S. N., the ceremony taking place in the Blome of the bride, 1414 2lst street, at 4:30 o'clock. A half hour earlier the marriage of Miss Taeko Miyazaki, daughter of a wealthy and influential citizen of Japan, to Mr. Shinro Miyazaki of the Flowery Kingdom, a vice consul in_this country, will take place in ‘Bethlehem Chapel. A reception at the National Cathedral School, from which the bride is a graduate, with Miss Jessie C. McDonald and Miss Helen L. Webster as hostesses, will take place. The ambassador of Japan is sponsoring the wedding, and the entire embassy staff will be guests. 0 particularly interesting weddings are scheduled for Thursday, that of Miss Leila Vorheese Scott, daughter of Mrs. Scott and the late Maj. Guy Scott, U. S. A, and Mr. Peter Henry Hill Dann, at 5 o'clock in the bride’s home, and the second wedding, that of Mrs. Ethel Susanne Baijley to Lieut. Marion Young Cohen, taking place in the home of Com- mander and Mrs. E. J. Marquart, when only a small family party will be present. Scveral other weddings are of almost equal general interest, and }hcsIe of this week are only forerunners of the many nuptial events set or June, At Home Invitations Announced for Week ‘Because of {llness Mrs. H.

Tilmont Was One of Last Diplomats to Leave Petro- grad After Lenin Came Into Power. There are now resident in Wash- ington, either at the State Depart- ment or attached to the various em- bassies and legations, many mem- bers of that gallant remnant of the diplomatic crops stationed in Petro- grad from the outbreak of the world war until the dread tribunal of the Soviet made existence as precarious for them as it was in Peking during the Boxer outbreak. M. Tilmont, ranking secretary of the Belgian em- bassy and who will be its charge d'affaires during the absence of the ambassador in Europe, was perhaps longer in that danger zone than any of his confreres, among whom are Mr. Joseph C. Grew, undersecretary of state, and Mr. J. Butler Wright, third assistant secretary. M. Tilmont went to St Petersburg, as it was then, in the opening spring of 1914 and he witnessed some of the gayety of the czarist court, before the evil days of August, when Russia, llke the remainder of Europe, was plung- ed into the maelstrom of war. He Wwas among those who beheld the col- lapse of the Romanoff throne and the brief regime of Kerensky and the effort of the few toward a constitu- tional government. Remained Until 1919. Should M. Tilmont and some of the other of the diplomatic representa- tives of the allied powers follow the lead of the military commanders during the world war and put their experiences into book form it will make thrillin reading. The Belgian secretary re- mained in Petrograd until 1819, when conditions grew intolerable and the diplomats who still lingered for the sake of being useful to the Russian ple when the red reign had ended were compelled - to -withdraw. Many demonstrations had been staged Against the foreigners, and it will be recalled that the American am- bassador, Mr.: David R. Francis, was ttacked in the strects and the em- bassy building was stoned. It was a.time ‘of @nxlety and .paintul sus- ense and few of those who were sub- jected care te it.
