o 10 Tales of Well SOCIETY. Known Folk In Social and Official Life Mrs. Charles Evana Maker—Six New Fo Hughés Noted ‘as Home reign Envoys Listed. Prominent personagcs. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Mrs. Charles Tvans Hughes pos- %esmes a talent for he naking in & pre-eminent degree, and few of the hundreds of callers during her re- cent reception on Wednesday after- noon could refrain fro =0 perfect a domicile ls sighing that 50 soon to be dismantled cores of wuto-| sraphed photos of those in the seats | of the mighty are scattered about | the more formal rooms and give| just the homey touch ncedful.

This fine paint- fng i3 most advantageously placed =3 to light, and it is a welcoming might for the guest entering the #paclous room. But at Mrs. Hughes' reception the Secretary was present in the flesh as well as on the canvas, and he showed himself the most In- defatigable host, consuming endless cups of tea with the distinguished foreign grande dames, though it Is well known that to him this fragrant beverage {s not particularly appeal- ing. In addition to countless ple- tures of statesmen and diplomats are the signed photographs of the three Presidents with whom the retiring premler maintained particularly friendly relations, Judge Taft. who appointed him to the Supreme bench: President Harding, who placed him | et the head of cabinet, and the | present Executive and Mrs. Coolldge, | beautifully framed in silver, all oc- cupying conspicuous places on & table in the library. The Ambassador from Spain, whose functions as dean.of the diplomatic corps began with arrival on these ahores of the new French Ambassa- dor, M. Emile Daeschner, has made 1t his special task during the past four | embellishment. {tire of | aftatrs, not well matter be relegated how accomplished When all these on coming dignitaries are in place, the en of ambassadors, 12 strong in this Capital, will be composed of mar- ried men and, with the exception of the Spanish and Chilean, with famllles. to a man, no in interior But in the matter of envoys of the gocond class, the ministers of plenipo- tentiary, who are the most numerous [fn the forelgn corps in Washington, | the single man seems the rule rather than the exception. The Ministers from Portugal and Denmark are bachelors The Minister from Czechoslovakia, Dr. Frantisek Chvalkovsky, had his rital bonds dissolved by court in Prague last Summer. The Dr. Ante Tresich Pavichich, Minister from the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, has been for years an invalid und she will never come to this country Costa Rica’s envoy, Senor Rafael Oreamuno, has no chatelaine in his establishment, and in the long list or charges d'affalres, acting for the time or permanently appointed, there is a notable absence of ladles. This was quite apparent at the brilliant banquet which the President anc Mrs. Coolidge spread for the corps, when at least half the gallant and most ornate cavaliers had to walk to the table with each other instesd of with a lovely lady) Only the am- bassadors and & few of lhe‘ senlor ministers had the privilege of escort- ing a lady, for the corps {s far too large &t present to admit of addl- tional guests, llke the Secretary” of State and Mrs, Hughes, the chairman of foreign relations and Mrs. Borah, and the acting chairman of foreign} Representative Henry Temple of Pennsylvania. The Congressional Club entertains on such a scale, that, like the Senate Women's Luncheon Club, the simplest of viands must be served both be- cause the space is always congested about the tea table and because the | number of guests make it imperative that refreshments may be offered rapldly and without danger of mis- hap. The luncheon which the club of senatorial ladies serves each other every Tuesday is made up of three years to bring his sovereign, Alfonso X111, more famllfarly into the knowl- edge of the Ameri people. This | vigorous young king was a lad, only | 13, when this country challenged | Spain to war over the Cuban inde- pendence and there was from first to last a latent sympathy with him and | with his mother, Queen Christina, who was acting as regent. Many | blamed all the trouble on haug! ty envoys in this Capital, Semor En- | rique de Lome, for instance, and the superstitious called attention to the sinister *13’ in the situation, Al- fonso's designation the line of kings and his age Senor Riano, through lecturers and In his own way, has successfully discounted the violent charges of Ibanez, the novel- ist, so far as the American people are generally concerned. The Span- ish King has many times demon- | strated his admiration for this coun- try and quite recently he gent a spe- cial delegation to the polo tourna- ment on Long Island at the time the Prince of Wales was entertained. in Six new ambassadors are 60on to pre- sent their credentlals to President Cool- idge, a phenomenal number to be re- ceived within six weeks and every one of these exalted envoys s a family man and will bring a charming hostess into the diplomatic circle. Al have children, too, which will mean a quicl ening of social life various direc- tions. The retired ambassador, Jusserand, has no children, whereas M. Daeschner brings two daughters who have already been presented to soclety. Dr. Otto Wiedfeldt has son, but he spent all the vears his parents were | members of the Washington corps| studying in Madison, Wis., and learning practical farming. Baron von Maltzan nas one little daughter, about 10, who will be in a sense a leader in the Suvenlle Teutonic circles. The Bra- #lltan Ambassador, who was appointed iast November, Senhor Amaral, has five children, the elders of an age to play e part in the social scheme. The Jap- anese Ambassador. soon to sail from Tokyo, has two Tellez, has & bonnie littie lass of four. The successor of Don Gelasio Cactani, Who is a bachelor, does not seem en- tirely settled, but that he will bring a #pouse of soclal tact and experience is &ssured, since besides the demands of Vanity Fair, there is the momentous task of equipping the new embassy on Bixteenth street. Such a task could courses: Cold meat, a salad, bread, butter and coffee. But very often | pans of steaming hot rolls are dis- patched from the White House kitch- en and they are appreclated beyond words, for the First Lady attends the luncheon with punctilious care. Con- trary to New England traditions, both the President and Mrs. Coolldge enjoy hot bread and few breakfast spreads omit either home-baked rolls, hot biscuits, pan cakes. Mrs. Joseph Fralinghuysen, who frankly enjoye the company'of her old aseociates and who spends a few Weeks every year in Washington while Congress is in session, just as often contributes a delicious, but simple, dessert and sometimes & salad. All these gifts are received with quiet dignity by the hostesses of the day and duly an- | nounced to the meated guests. The Congressional Club serves tea and coftes, a dainty sandwich or two, some crisp little cakes and candies in gay and alluring colors. But at thelr evening receptione the ladles spread their board {n conformity with American lavishness and hospitality, and most capably do the members in charge of the refreshment move the crowds on and back so that every one is served without Inconvenience. This Winter, since both Cabinct hostesses and senatorial and con- gressional ladies have announced but two reception days a season, one this month and one in February, the luncheons of the Senate Women's Club and the Friday afternoons at home in the Congressional are the most important routine affairs in evi- dence after the White House func- tions. When the rounds of calls is made at the various embassies and lega- tions and the equally hospitable homes of the secretaries and attaches of the corps, invariably the visitor comes home with a vivid memory of some toothsome confection, salad or cold meat. No one partakes of the crisp little cakes at the Polish lega- tion without longing to know how to duplicate them. Mme. von Lewinski, wife of the counselor of the German embassy, has been serv- ing a cake which is traditional in Germany at Christmas time, and which is baked in such generous di- mensions that it serves for weeks afterward for tea and smaller func- tions.

She sold the site of her home and beautiful garden about four years ago to a blg hotel con- cern, and one of the stipulations was that she should be permitted to have & large garden and a five-room bung- alow on the roof of the hosteiry. The Hotel Ponce de Leon has been bullt on Mra. McAllister's property, and on its roof, nine storfes from the ground, is this delightful abode, with its ter- races of heliotrope, violets and musk Dinks, Its pergolas covered with roses and some aromatic bushes like lemon verbena right under her windows.

Dr. Osbourns was trans- ferred to the home city of Christopher Columbus throe years ago, and he is, in a way, a sort of overlord of the consulates in Italy.

Old Washingtomans preathe a sigh of content that the historic home of John Hay and its neighbor, equaly renowned in the domain of letters as the Washington residence of Henry Adams, are not to be demolished af- ter all. Both mansions have been tentatively sold by the real estate dealer who purchased them to a select committee of the G. O. P. They are to be remodeled into one dwell- ing as the national headquarters of the Republic&n committee, with am- ple Toom to entert ng State chairmen and fo confer- ences held from time to time during each year. It seems a peculiarly fit- ting climax to the als of this fine brick house, for John Hay was for many years the friend and confidant of Lincoln and likewise one of the Emancipator's best biographers. Hen- ry Adams was in the opinion of many more the Whig which his grandfath- er was than a Republican in the strict meaning of the term. But he was of the clan and his political his- tory must be studied by ail who wish to make a success of state craft Senator and Mrs. Wadsworth are spending their last Winter in this home, which is so dear to John Hay's daughter, and in the Spring they will take possession of their new mansion in Woodland drive, recently pur- chased from Mrs. Charles D.
