PICKETT. i EETING Washington notables in the open, as one always does at this season, is much pleasanter and more intimate than meet- ing them in the restrained atmosphere of the drawing room in “Tmid-Winter, when official formalities are in progress. Mrs. Coolidge, at old Pierce Mill in Rock Creek Park, socially mingling with the Girl Scouts, as happened Wednesday afternoon when she was the guest of the council members—as well as honorary president of the organization —was much nicer than if she invited them all to the drawing rooms of the \White House for afternoon tea. She was lovely in her simple afternoon dress of soft satin in dark blue shade, her graceful wrap and gay red ccarf and hat. She chatted enthusiastically about the Girl Scout move- ment as she sat on a high-back bench of wood painted blue and rested her tea plate and cup on the blue wooden table, and she was still more enthusiastic when she suggested that the Girl Scouts could do much for the happiness of the little children at the Easter Monday egg rolling at the White House this year by playing among them. ning Mr. and Mrs. guests lunchi ¥ W d vesterday had a few th then ustice and M r Justice and : the W last nigh son St | tertaining a Dean of Diplomats Planning ;7o s Early Return to Washington Mr. were hosts The Secretary to the Presi rs.

Le Paradis TER the arrival at the White House of Mr. John Coolidge, the son of the house, from Amherst, there was the drive around the water- front to see the cherry blossoms, long walks and intimate visits in which the public had a share. Young Mr. Coolidge went shopping with his mother Thursday morning and stood patiently by in a big department store on F street while she selected some gray gloves and other acces- <ories for her charming gray inaugural day costume. She had previously long string of black wooden beads to wear with a certain cos- tume. nce March 4 Coolidge gray has been the vogue and is likely to remain so for the next four years. Be it said, however, Mrs. Coolidge seldom fails to introduce some strong note of color some place in the all-gray effect. THI'ZRIZ was another nice departure from routine given the Chief ccutive and the first lady of the land when Thursday evening they dined on board the palatial yacht Lyndonia, as guests of the owners, Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who were hosts to other personages during the week. Both the President and Mrs. Coolidge take unusually long and brisk walks nowadays, and young Mr. Coolidge frequently walks with his mother. bought a Si HE more formal phase of Washington social life was shown in the home of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg, when Friday after- noon the Ambassadors, Ministers and charge d'affaires and the ladies of their families answered to the invitation of Mrs. Kellogg to take tea with her. The custom of such a reception is an old one and places the for- cigners on more intimate footing with the Secretary of State and his Jady, pending the official social season. To the diplomats who were here while Secretary Hughes was in the office, it was somewhat like a home- coming. The surroundings in the drawing rooms and dining room were unchanged since the departure of the former Secretary, even to the auto- graphed pictures of the President and Mrs. Coolidge standing on tables in the drawing room and the portrait of Secretary Hughes hanging over the dining-room mantel. BREATH of Springtime was carried into the abode of the Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg in the simple but plentiful arrangement of blos- soming branches of shrubs and trees on tables in the drawing rooms and filling the large silver bowl in the center of the tea table. While the Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg will take possession about June 1 of the residence at R and Nineteenth streets, which they formerly occupied, they evidently expect to spend some time in their lovely home in St. Paul uring the heated term, and it was with this in view that Mrs. Kellogg made a recent trip to the West. IPLOMATS are busy with their dinner parties, teas and receptions, most of them quite informal, and the men of the corps are frequently t on the footpaths or along the highways of Rock Creek Park. So far, there is no intimation of the direction diplomats will take in choosing their Summer homes, though it is probable the British Ambassador and lady Isabella Howard will look to New England and probably the North Shore for Summer quarters, as that has always seemed a favored location with the British because of its splendid possibilities for outdoor life. Certain residents of that section are the members of the Siamese lega- tion staff, that government owning a place at Bass Rocks, East Glouces- ter, Mass N SWPORT is likely to claim the Belgian Ambassador and Baroness de Cartier should they remain on this side during the Summer, and there is always a degree of certainty in Mr. Censtantin Brun, the Danish Minister, going to Bar Harbor. The World War taught diplomats that Washington itself is far from a forbidden or forbidding zone in Summer- time, the Potomac and its surrounding country and the hundreds of acres of parks furnishing pleasure grounds for those who must remain, opening wedge, in the international sense, between this republic and the enormously important country of the South Seas. Melbourne s the home of these charming people from this far-flung possession of the British empire, and Mrs. Elder claims it as her birthplace and her home in every sense of the word. Mr. Elder is a native of Elgin, Scotland, but he left this home in the “north countree” in his early teens, and he takes It as the Fapplest omen that the ship on which he sailed, the Oroya, was the first fast mail steam- ér which weighed anchor in what was then the insignificant Fort Melbourne. The Australian commissioner has seen his home city grow, as centers of population are prone to grow in the outposts of civilization, until to- day it is one of the great cities of the world. From the first he has been in the thick of things related to its progress, and is one of the outstand- ing public men of Australia, a di- rector in various important com- panies and manager of enormous wool companies. For several years Mr. Elder had acted in an advisory way and without compensation for the commonwealth in International business relations. He was one of the two citizens of Melbourne who formed its first board of trade, and he fis at present a member of the commonwealth's board of trade and chamber of commerce. Mr. and Mrs. Elder have the cordial approachable ways which so nearly resemble the Canadian and the Amer- ican, and which are appealing in a special way to all the officials and business men of this Nation with whom the former mingles in dis- charge of his duties and the latter in the social sense. Their home in Melbourne is an acknowledged social center, and Mrs. Elder is considered one of the leading hostesses of her city. She is, however, as much en- grossed in civic philanthropy as in the discharge of the lighter duties pertalning to her husband’s station. All through the World War she was the active manager of a committee which took charge of returned sol- diers and looked after them in every sense, including the very important one of seeing that they got suitable employment when they were able to work or adequate medical treatment until they were. Mrs. Elder's pet charitable project is the' Melbourne Children's Hospital, which is a splen- did and well-equipped edifice sustain- ed almost entirely. by voluntary con- tributions. Since coming to this country she has visited many similar institutions to study the different systems employed and to propose some in use, which may prove bene- ficfal In the Melbourne hospital when he again takes up her work as presi- dent of its board. In the official sense, the coming of the commissioner from Australia is an event of supreme importance, since it portends a closer diplomatic union and solidified policy in many mat- (Continued on Fifth Page.)
