Social Calendar Is Marked By Important Events Dated Far Beyond 4th of March| Rush of Entertainment Gives Momentum That Invades Lenten Season — Conspicuous Happenings in Record of a Week. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. OCIETY has gained such momentum in its rush of entertainment that neither Ash Wednesday, February 27, nor March 4 furnish the slightest resistance. Calendars are well filled with important dates far into March and even without an extra session, officials will linger on here for the Spring season. Fewer socicty folk than ever before have gone South, the lure of the season here being too stfong to resist. HE comfort and simple elegance attending White House receptions will have one further try-out this season in the Army and Navy re- ception to be held by the President and Mrs. Coolidge next week, while this week their entertainment of state will be the dinner in honor of the Speaker and Mrs. Gillett. Mrs. Coolidge is generously lending her name to further the interest of charities both large and smalk and the wonder is that she yet finds time to so completely perfect plans for the enter- tainments of state. The hundreds of guests at each reception go away with a feeling of perfect comfort and satisfaction in White House hospi- tality. ABINET days at home both in number and attendance have lost their old-time glory when Senators and Representatives could assure their constituents of the honor of seeing this close-up touch of official life, and only a few of the drawing rooms were uncomfortably filled for the last Wednesday of the season. There was a delightful air of hospitality wever, about all the open houses, guests lingering about tea tables and chatting in little groups long after they passed the hostess. ANY Senate homes were open and perhaps the most crowded drawing rooms were those of Mrs. William M. Butler of Massachusetts, who is occupying the presidential suite at the New Willard and who had receiving h her Mrs. Jesse H. Metcali, wife of Senator Metcalf of Rhode Island. Those who arrived early remained until late, the gracious- ness of both hostesses combined with the delightful atmosphere of good lighting, a tea table surrounded with interesting assistants and ladened with the loveliest of flowers, all proving irresistible. brings to Washington the treat of grand cpera, the Chicago Opera Company needing no introduction here. The attendance number, if not in notables, will furnish the difference from its last ap- pearance herc, the new Auditorium admitting of hundreds of hearers who were previously barrel from the music on account of room. HE charity inaugural ball the night of March 4, though missing the attendance of the President and Mrs. Coolidge, yet boasts them as patrons, and associated with them are several members of the Cabinet and others of ofiicial life. A few of the patrons are: The Secretary of State and Mrs. Hughes, the Secretary of the Treasury the Interior, Postmaster General and Mrs. New, Mr. Justice McReynolds, Mr. Justice and Mrs. Pierce Butler, Senator and Mr. nator and Mrs. Arthur Capper, Senator and Mrs. A.
