PICKETT. OTWITHSTANDING the tempests that brew on the S side of the Capitol ¢ President and Mrs. Coolidge are apparently placid enough in their stronghold in the White House just now, where, with Mrs. Goodhue, the mother of the First Lady of the Land, as a guest, and others more widely known in the outer world com- ing and going at intervals, they drift from day to day, working, resting, walking and carrying on their daily lives in modest manner. The Am- bassador to Great Britain, Mr. Houghton; Mgr. O'Connell and Mr. War- ren, the storm-center in the Senate for days, have each been guests in White House during the week, with others dropping by for break- fast or going in for short calls. 1ate Hi of the social season, is just now the meeting place for the private gallery of the Senate, so oiten deserted during the height dies of the upper house, many of them going for the opening of the session, re- maining until time for lunch in the Senate restaurant, and again return- ng to “listen in” until the last word has been said from the floor. Mrs. Stanfield her charming daughter, Miss Barbara Stanfield; Mrs. Woodridge N. Ferris and Mrs. Gillett, wife of the former Speaker, fre- quently were spectators during the week, starting in with the stormy Monday and scarcely missing a day from their seats in the and scene on private gallery HE amaryllis show, the wonderful surprise prepared as a welcome for Mr. Jardine, the new Secretary of Agriculture, was likewise a meet- g art world of society, as well as for the hundreds of tourists daily pouring into Washington.

The “Streets of Peking,” the “Chinese Dinner,” “The Sweetmeat Game,” a delightful play, will all harmonize with the game of mah-jong, such as was presented a few weeks ago in the Washington Auditorium. The New Willard Hotel balirooms will this time give the more convenient place, and the Belleau Wood Memorial will profit by the proceeds from the evening. HE call of the outdoors is strong now, and aiready hundreds of nature- lovers who ride, drive or walk through Rock Creek Park have found the doors of the famous old Pierce Mill opened by the Girl Scouts, who are offering reireshments, and even a solid meal, at almost any time in the day. from early morning until twilight. The Girl Scout movement is one that is particularly strong at this season, and timely enough is the movement on foot to introduce “The Fairy Hour” at a matinee perform- ance at Poli's, April 24. Minnie Hawke is directing the rehearsal of dozens of fairylike children, who will present Mrs. Goring Bliss' pretty camception for the benefit of the Girl Scout movement. Mme. Ekengren wall be in charge of the boxes, several of which have alrcady been ea- gaged. | | | SUNDAY the wedd: STAR, WASHINGTON, D.
