Health and Pleasure—General Society ‘ Partial to Outdoor Life. | { | | { SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. UTDOOR life is calling long and loud not alone to those in the | scats of the mighty and those with much leisure, but to every [ lover of nature, and certainly the trend of society. is for that form | . of entertainment. The President and Mrs. Coolidge are perhaps more fond of their over-Sunday trips on the Potomac than anything else they do and, though the harshest criticism fell upon President Roosevelt at ihe time of the purchase of the Mayflower and wild tales of extrava- gance were told and printed, no amount ever expended by the Govern- | tnent has given so much benefit and pleasure to its Chief Executive. It | mcans much to a President to take his rest and recreation in an atmos- | phere remote irom all but invited guests. Mrs. Coolidge has asked a| ge group of newspaper women to be her guests on the Mayflower Thursday afternoon. | HE meeting of the international organizations in the Capital brings about an unusually interesting social phase and, beginning with | ‘omorrow, scarcely a waking hour for the week to come will be-barren of hospitality in some form. The President’s reception to the International | Council of Women Wednesday and the big reception which Mrs. John | B. Henderson will hold for them tomorrow afternoon are only two of the | important affairs—every embassy’ and legation whose country is resented in the council offering a reception, dinmer party, luncheon tea to their own visiting citizens and others important in the organi- tion mar o za | ¢ e | HE Washington Opera Co. will fill the Auditorium with music lovers | Wednesday evening, May 13, when “La Traviat with an all Metro- olitan cast is to be the attraction.

Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs. Woodrow \Vilson and many others of the foremost women in official life are giving their names as patronesses- for the benefit. T\\’O propositions of special interest, not only to Washington but to Virginia and the country at large, are the Kenmore and Wakefleld me- morials. both being historic estates which once belonged to the Wash- ington family.
