MADAME PROCHNIK. Wite of the, nerly Austria and {heiv family, Tovand valarie), Patricia ancL-Ed,gar. President and Mrs. Coolidge In Ceaseless Round of Du Prior to Vacation Period Brilliant Reception in Their Honor Scheduled for May 29—Courtesies Extended Foreign Delegates to Women's Council. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. O those involved in an incessant round of duty, as are the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge, June 25, the date set for their departure from the Capital, must seem a long way off, and yet the interval will be crowded with activity, both social and official. If there are “to be White House garden parties there is absolutely no indication now, and undoubtedly Mrs. Coolidge will confine herself to receiving the im- portant delegations arriving in Washington from all over the country. L RECEPTION, which will rival in brilliancy any event ever given there, will be the reception in honor of the President and Mrs. Coolidge in the Pan-American Union Building, the night of May 29, when the Am- Bassadors, Ministers and charge d'affaires of the républics of America will be hosts. The invitations have been issued and are large and im- posing affairs, and require an immediate response. While many of the officials will be absent and only a few Senators and Representatives here to attend, the diplomatic corps is almost intact, and the circle of private of unofficial society is almost unbroken. will be a change from such scenes as this for the President and Mrs. "Coolidge to sit on the broad verandas surrounding White Court, at Swampscott, in view of the lighthouses—four 6f them—that guard Boston Harbor. From the terrace on the ocean side of the mansion the broad view of the water is to be had, and all night long the play of light from the Graves, the Boston Light, Minot Light and the famous Saugus light- house may be seen. AFTER a trip on the Mayflower, one realizes that it is not unnatural that the President should like water travel or that he should want the boat, half training ship, half pleasure yacht, near his Summer home. It.takes Capt. Andrews to enthuse over the craft until she is no longer “k;'mere toy for pleasure, but a formidable man-of-war, capable of going round the world and wiping out hosts of enemies, if necessary. No mat- ter how often the Mayflower goes down the Potomac, Mrs. Coolidge al- ways arises to her feet when “Taps” sound for the approach to Mount Vernon, and she stands at attention as stolidly as a soldier when the band plays the national hymn. 'HE constant entertainment of foreign delegates to the International 14 Council of Women which obtained throughout last week will slacken va little for the rest of their visit, most of the embassies and legations and ‘officials of our Government having extended their hospitality. There are 4t#ll, however, a sufficient number of ‘dinner parties, teas and luncheons ‘scheduled to fill the days with interest. The Polish legation will extend hdspitality to the delegates from that country tomorrow, the Ambassador of }?rance and Mme. Daeschner will entertain at dinner Friday and a few “other diplomats will honor their countrywomen in similar manner. JOR is all of the diplomatic entertaining for the visitors, for Monday ight the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg will be guests of the Minister of Norway and Mme. Bryn; Prince Bibesco will give a luncheon tbday at the legation to celebrate the Rumanian national holiday; the Ttalian Ambassador will be honor guest at a dinner to be given Friday night, with Mr. and Mrs. Henry Getty Chilton as hosts, and the Minister of ;lhe Serbs, Croates and Slovenes will entertain at dinner Saturday Aight. “a #T'HE Oriental fete at Twin Oaks, Thursday afternoon and evening, will . be the mecca for the whole of the social world, every one wishing it see the dames and maidens of the Winter drawing-room dressed in sfanciful attire and dispensing cheer and bartering their wares, all for sthe sake of Neighborhood House. i s SIRIDAY, May. 22, the chief outdoor event, aside from the Spring horse % _show, will be the House of Mercy garden party in the Cathedral Close fa® Mount St. Albans.. All sorts of lovely wares are being gotten ready if6r the sales tables. Special attention is being paid to providing a supper }under the trees, and there will be many features of entertainment. E STHE President and Mrs. Coolidge expect to attend the presentation of & & 413 Traviata,” under the auspices of the Washington Opera Company, Awhen artists from the Metropolitan Opera Company will fill the star roles. ¢The fashion of the town is saving Wednesday night for the nd sdinner parties will be early.
