S MRS. CHARLES GATES DAWES Soon to assume her place as Second Lady the Land,, arriving here with the Vice President elect within a few days Social Record in Capital Of Present Era Stands Out As Especially Brilliant SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HEN future pages of the social history of Washington are writ- ten the season just drawing to a close will stand out as one of the most brilliant and interesting of them all. New fashioned »des of entertainment have mingled with history of the past dpg up fr du corners and paraded once more in the limelight. Mah- jong, ancient the Bmped shoulders w the hoop skirt and lavendar and lace era of fant America, while many balls have brought forth costumes from the pRst history of countrie; e other TRICTLY American and not a fad but a tradition was the social program carried out at the White House by the President and Mrs. Coolidge, who on Thursday night closed their series of state functions with a reception for the Army and Navy. The last event was the jargest and most interesting of the entire season and when it was rumored that officers of the service would ignore an invitation from their commander-in-chief and not attend, because the military list had been distributed through, other state receptions, some apprehension was elt. However, one glimpse at the almost overcrowded drawing rooms with the glittering array of uniforms and handsomely dressed and be- jeweled women, set the doubt at rest. I.\' any criticism of White House entertainment comparisons that hark back to pre-World War days are odious, for there are at least three times as many officers in and around Washington now as in those days, he official ranks are much enlarged and there is a bigger contingent of socitty in every branch. The diplomatic corps has grown considerably, too, both in size 4 importance and those useful citizens known as the idle rich increase yearly, for the lure of social life in the Capital can no longer be spoken of lightly. A few woman writers formerly gave to the entire world the picture of Midwinter social life here, while now man writers of politics and the biggest of national subjects become cntangled in its meshes and write signed articles, while women who for- merly wrote along other lines find what they call the personal touch imperative. NCESTRAL togs will be worn to a frazzle by the time the. last historic dance is over and several interesting Colonial benefit teas will resort, not to costumes and ancestors, but to dainty china .and silver and other such things as features. However, almost as if the chief characters at the Jefferson ball last night had slept in their interesting costumes over Sunday, they again will appear at the ball given by the Virginia Society in the self-same environment tomorrow night. in the same period and atmosphere will be the bedutiful “Ball at Mot Vernon” to take place in the gymnasium of George Washing- ton University tomorrow night and held for the benefit of the George Washington University Hospital. The Martha Washington garden at the coach entrance to the mansion at Mount Vernon will serve as a place for guests to get together before they are met by the president of the univer- sity and Mrs. William Mather Lewis on the portico, where they will receive their welcome. HE Congressional Club covered itself with glory at its splendidly appointed breakfast early last week at Wardman Park Hotel, when Mrs. Coolidge was the guest of honor, The importance of the Congres- sional Club.in the official social life of Washington was again impressed upon one, and the upper and lower houses of Congress, instead of remain- ing divided against itself, became as one big and, naturally enough, more powerful medium ARCH 4 is the great hub around which all things social as well as political revolve, and holding the most important place in society will ‘be the ball on the night of Inauguration day when several local charities will benefit by the enormous returns expected. While' the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge willl not attend the ball, the executive family will be represented by the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes and most of the members of the cabinet, while the governors of States and other important personages from all over the country will gather there as a close to the day’s aativities. HE Washington Junior League, which so distinguished itself earlier in the season by holding a picturesque ball, will Saturday evening entertain a large contingent of the social world in the big ballroom at the New Willard when at 8:30 o'clock “A Man Without a Country,” will be presented.
