BARONESS von MALTZAN The new chatelaine of the German Embassy Mrs. Coolidge Enjoys Quiet Days, With Minor Activities, During Mid-Lenten Season Only an Occasional Guest at White House— Vice President and Mrs. Dawes Visiting Illinois Home. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ‘ HILE things went quietly enough at the White House last week, with only now and then a house guest, the meeting of Mrs. Coolidge with little groups like that of the Camp Fire Girls, or the recreation she enjoys in attending concerts, the outer world assumed unwonted brightness for mid-Lent, when the penitential season is supposed to bar general entertaining. HE Vice President and Mrs. Dawes, who find little or no trouble in readjusting themselves to Washington ways, left yesterday for their e at Evanston, after having been entertained in several foreign homes d by their iriends during the week, the last hospitality enjoyed being the quiet little family dinner party Friday night at the White House, with | ust the President and Mrs. Coolidge, the latter’s mother and one or two | ends present. They will return here next month, when they probably ill select a home to serve them until the end of the administration. NU'IHI_\'LE lends greater charm to Washington society than the varied calendars of other countries, and the Persian charge d'affaires and Mme. Kazemi celebrated with great ceremony the Pe n yesterday afternoon by holding a large reception, preceding and folio: ing it with feasts. The Minister of Egypt and Mme. Yousry will give the chief note of foreign color to this week's program when, Thursday evening at 10 o'clock, they will hold a reception to celebrate the birth- day anniversary of King Fouad. ST week there was the big Legion ball, when the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes, Gen. Pershing and Gen. Lejeune were lionized by several dred guests, who mostly were in fancy costume. There was the aller, but not less interesting, Highland Club dinner given Wednesday night, when the club was organized. The promenade concert at the May- flower Hotel Monday evening, with its all-American artists; numerous smaller dancing events to mark St. Patrick’s day, and iast of all the bril- tiant spectacular_affair at the New Willara Friday night, when all the society folk in Washington attended and viewed the Oriental setting various interesting features, all giving way later to general out alone as almost the o big mid-day affair was the breakfast and reception in honor of Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske at Mayflower Hotel, when the Humane Society and the Animal Rescue ague celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of her interest in humane work along that line. Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the Secretary of State, ac- companied Mrs. Truman G. Palmer, president of the Animal Rescue League, and stayed for a short time, greeting Mrs. Barnett, who presided; Mrs. Fiske, Mrs. William Howard Taft, wife of the Chief Justice, and a {few other acquaintances. Mrs. Kellogg was lovely in her strictly tailored street suit, coat and skirt, of Scotch tweed in a blue-gray shade, the coat cut hip-length and worn with a black crepe blouse. Her natty hat of black straw received a com entary touch in the little band of black binding the high net collar, while a beautiful jeweled pin was worn in the -fashioned way, at the throat THE Highland Club will undoubtedly fill an important place in club life here, though it is the intention of organizers to keep the limit at a hundred 'members. Nothing could have been more picturesque than was the dinner, Wednesday night, which followed the selection of officers— Gen. Buchanan as president, Capt. C. C. Calhoun and Dr. Creighton as ice presidents and Mr. Charles P. Light as secretary-treasurer. ~The march of the bagpipers, which opened the program, gave a splendid touch of color, the artist, Hook Kennedy; Dr. Creighton and others, in Highland costume, following the piper in merry procession around the table, while a program of Scotch music by the splendid impersonator and lilting tunes supplied by the bagpipe filled the intervals between short speeches. D NER parties of this week will hold quite as much importance as mid-Winter events, but given with a little less form. Mrs. Henry F. Dimock will entertain at dinner Tuesday night for the Ambassador of ¥rance and Mme. Daeschner and the Italian Ambassador, Signor di Mar- o. Mr. and Mrs. Godirey Cabot will entertain at dinner tomorrow ght for the French Ambassador and Mme. Daeschner, and there are a umber of other dinner parties arranged for by diplomats for the next seven days. Envoy and Baroness To Be Concert Guests The Ambassador of Germany and Baroness von Maltzan have accepted the invitation to attend the series of concerts by American artists which Is being glven at the Mayflower Hotel by Mrs. Davis Allen Campbell, chair- man of the music division of the Na- tional Council of Women.

RICE W. MEANS With her husband ,Senator Means, motoring to their home in D ! Attorney General And Mrs. Sargent Littlc Known Hcrc Few Persons in Capi!al Ac- quaintcd With Newcomers To Cabinet Circle. The Attorney General and Mrs, Sar- gent are among the genuine new- comers to Washington, for outside the President and Mrs, Coolidge, the con- gressional delegation from Vermont and some residents of the Green Mountain State domiciled here, nmot many people are personally acquaint- ed with the the new chieftain of the Department of Justice except per- haps the contingent of secret service men who accompanied the Presidént to Vermont last Sum r, and who, very naturally, became friendly with “Lawyer Sargent,” whose home is in Ludlow, just down the mountain from Plymouth and exactly 10 miles as the crow flies. All of these men had their holidays, & day or two off during the presidential visit, and several accom- panicd the head of the legal depart- ment of the Government and'learned something about fish, trapping and tramping. o kindly were the feel- ings on Mr. Sargent's part, as well as on the part of the guardians of the President, that duriug that unnoticed sojourn here, about March 4, one of the dinings which were recorded for bim at the White House was with the President and Mrs. Coolidge, and the other was below stairs with the com- panions of last Summer. The Attorney General is the third Vermonter to sit at the cabinet table and Mrs, Sargent fs likewise a native of the Green Mountain State and shares that honor with Mrs. Coolidge. Like the first lady, she studled at the University of Vermont, but did not take a degree. She had previously attended the academy in Ludlow with her hus- band and just as soon as he had com- pleted his college course at Tufts, the marriage occurred. That was in August, 1887, and the graduation at Tufts had been in June of the same year. Mr. and Mre. Sargent have always lived in Ludlow and they have always been on the friendliest terms with the Coolidges of Plymouth, Mrs. Coolidge will now have near her a neighbor of the old days and one who has the most sympathetic under- standing of all that relates to Coolidge policies past and present. Thus when the Attorney General was so loyally aiding thoss organizations of Republican women known as “Keep Coolidge In" clubs it was Mrs. Sargent who sug- gested that gathering of intimate sou- venirs of the candidate’s family and distributing them in various centers. Thus for the Vermont “Keep Coolidge In"* Mrs. Sargent prevailed upon Col. John Coolidge to permit the loan of an ancient spinning wheel used by the great-grandmother of the present Executive, and to Boston was loaned an old handmade cradle in which the thirtleth Chief Magistrats had slum- enver , Colorado EElaborate Reception | Celebrates Opening Charge d'Affaires and Mme.
