WARRIS & o/[ MRS. Guy DESPARD GOFF Who March4 will enter the ranks Senctorial Hostesses. Capital Again to Greet Throng Drawn to See Inauguration Exercises Ceremony of March 4 to Represent Simplest Phase of American Life—Family Party at White House. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. VERYTHING big in Washington clusters about Inauguration day, March 4, when for the second time President Coolidge will take the oath of office. Although the simplest phase of American life S will mark the ceremony at the Capitol and the attendant features of Tnaugural day, none of the real interest will be lacking. The Pre dent and Mrs. Coolidge will have with them a family party that will include the President’s father, the only son of the family and the mother of Mrs. Coolidge, with a small group of other relatives and intimate - friends. Mr. John Coolidge will arrive and depart on Inauguration day, :remaining with his family simply long enough to witness the ceremony t the Capitol and the day’s hospitality within the White House. -EACH member of the cabinet will entertain guests for the early part of i the week, and notwithstanding there will be no real inaugural ball ‘isuch as was staged in years past, with its features of the sublime and the ridiculous, the day will close with a big charity event, which will give those of Washington and thousands who visit here at that time an op- portunity to look upon notables and to dance. The Vice President and Mrs. Dawes will be less restricted in their program for the day, and have promised to occupy a box at the charity inaugural ball at the Mayflower. NO\IE of the women who will assume their places in the executive family is a stranger here, Mrs. Dawes having the longest residence ‘of any, while Mrs. Kellogg, who will preside over the foreign contingent for her husband when he assumes his place as Secretary of State, is well known from having taken an active part in official life when her hus- band was in the Senate. Mrs. Jardine, wife of the new Secretary of !Agriculture, has previously spent some time in the Capital, and several {other women who will figure largely in official society have had experi- i:nee here. MRS DAWES will naturally assume her duties as president of “The Ladies’ of the Senate,” taking her first’ lunch with them Tuesday. 'he wife of the Vice President becomes, president of .the organization, ccording to the constitution of the club, and no election is necessary. {Mrs. Coolidge was the last second lady of the land to fill the position. "The first vice president will preside until Mrs. Dawes assumes sway. The +Congressional Club, too, is under its new president and other officials, and fbot.h organizations are vital factors in the social life of the Capital. Ambassador of France and Mme. Daeschner have assumed their rightful place in the diplomatic ranks and are gndearing themselves ‘to Washington residents, just as did their predecessors, M. and Mme. !Jusserand. They will attend the big charity ball on Inaugural night. .‘Other diplomats who will attend are the Minister of Switzerland and :Mme. Peter, the Minister of Sweden and Mme. Wallenberg, the Minister of Hungary and Countess Szechenyi, the Minister of Guatemala and .'Senora de Sanchez Latour, the Minister of Panama and Senora de Alfaro, “the Minister of Egypt and Mme. Yousry Pasha, and others. 'THE ball will be unsurpassed for brilliancy, almost the entire first floor of the Mayflower Hotel being given over to it for the evening, and t will be the meeting place for new and old officials, the governors of i States and State officials and persons of rank from every corner of the Jnited States. Lending a decided air of youth will be the large group of ligirls under Miss Natalie Hammond who will sell programs, and the spe- licial feature of the ball, that of presenting a group of former mistresses liof the White House, in the persons of well known society women, headed iy Miss Ailsa Mellon, each wearing a headdress like unto that adopted iiby these first ladies of the past, will give a picture of great interest.
