HARRIS & &EWT cM.iss ELIZABETH ROWAN ZOLNAY. Whose engagement, to Mr.&or%’ofloms Summerlin, Jr., ¢ announced tod T Inauguration Week Events - Conspicuous for Brilliant and Picturesque Features Installation of President Coolidge With Simple and Dignified Ceremonial Naturally Leading in Interest. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. O matter how interesting and brilliant a program Washington might produce this week, it could in nowise equal that of last, with all sorts of interesting things attending the inauguration of President Coolidge. The simple and dignified ceremonies of the day were followed by one of the most brilliant balls ever seen in the Capital and certainly one of the most successful, financially and other- wise, and there were other cvents, like dmner parties and lesser enter- tainments, engaging attention all during the seven days. CUL LD voteless Washington have chosen for itself it could not be bet- ter pleased than that Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge will be residents of the ©apital and hosts of the White House for another four years—those sacred precincts in which old residents can But feel a sense of pride, “end perhaps owaership, too. Tried out with two seasons of entertain- ment, both the President and Mrs. Coolidge have proved themselves equal in hospitality to any of their predecessors. E-\CH administration brings its changes, and while many persons of high rank passed out of official life here March % others have taken their places, and less transient Washington society“welcomes them with o same zest it did any who preceded them. Happily enough, the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes and the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg are well known here, while other new members of the Presi- dent’s executive iamily also have been former residents, but for a lesser time. LL. T no longer holds terrors fpr the worldy and only talerably devout, and without public tensure they may: now conmveniently sandwich church services in between luncheons, card parties and teas, and even dancing is not tabooed. Staid matrons no longer warn guests not to mention where they are going or how they are to be entertained, and society women who once sought retreats for rest and worship now keep steadily on with their dinner parties and other mild forms of hospitality. ODAY marks the opening of the new Montgomery Country Club, when a housewarming will take the form of a tea. and, speaking of clubs, nothing could have been more interesting than the ball at the Congres- sional Country Club previous to inauguration day. B|§ plans are being made during Lent for Easter cntertainment. and the polo ball which will be given at the New Willard Hotel the night of April 14 is quite in line with polo schemes now under way at Westbury, Long Island, where the opening matches will be held from June 13 to July 4. Mr. Louis E. Stod- dard, king of poloists. has just been elected chairman of the United States Polo Association; a place he has held since 1922. SSIES and legations give Washington its chicf zest in the way of entert ent, and the reception held terday afternoon by the Minicter of Czechoslovakia in honor of the 75th birthday anniversary of President Masaryk called together many distinguished guests from both the foreign and American countingent of society to extend, thyough the Minister, their felicitations. The President, of course, sent his good wishes through the usual channels of the State Department.
