Presidentand Mrs. Coolidge, Following Minnesota Trip, Enjoying a Season of Rest Formal Phases of Social Life in Washingtcn Have Passed, Not to Be Revived Until the Autumn. SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. OTWITHSTANDING the return of the President and Mrs. Cool- idge to the White House Wednesday after a hurried but thrilling trip to Minnesota, everything there is exceedingly quiet, the routine of life being broken only now and again by the arrival of N a distinguished guest, a stroll or drive abroad or merely taking their con- stitutional wglks about the White House grounds. The south frent portico, which almost always coaxes a breeze from some direction, is the favorite sitting room for the family and their guests, and Mrs. Coolidge frequently takes her sewing basket along when she goes there to rest. The President likes to have a book, paper or magazine close at hand. HE Western trip was a triumphal one for the President and Mrs. Cool- idge, and the newspapers of that section, regardless of politics, were enthusiastic over them both, and especially over Mrs. Coolidge, whose cordial ways and frank manner win every one who comes in contact with her. It is not often, if ever at all, that one gets to see themselves as others see them in such prompt fashion as did the presidential party on their return trip from the West, when after leaving Chicago they actually saw everything they did and just as the throngs saw them, while in St. Paul and Minneapolis. On the last night of their trip there was a special motion picture entertainment arranged for them, the Secretary of State and others on the presidential special accompanying Mr. and Mrs. Cool- idge to the dining car to see the reels. g WHILE the really formal phases of social life here have passed not to return until Jate next Autumn, some of the Ambassadors and foreign Ministers are in the Capital at intervals and with old country courtesy will remain nearby until the President and Mrs. Coolidge leave for New England. The arrival of Nobil Donna Antoinette de Martino, wife of the new Italian Ambassador, furnishes a real thrill in the corps and in society generally, and those so fortunate as to meet her pronounce her truly charming. EDDINGS have gracefully accommodated themselves to the season, and fortunate indeced is the bride for whom Dame Nature in her happiest mood furnishes the out-door setting. The Mallan-MEKenney wed- ding, like the Thomas-Reilly wedding, was.an alfresco affair, while the Will-Bicknell wedding Wednesday also had an outdoor atmosphere, uki“fi place on the broad gallery of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest P. Bicknel on Albemarle street ANY charming traditions were carried out Thursday at Fall Hill, the historic home of the Frederick H. Robinsons overlooking Fredericks- burg and the picturesque Rappahannock, at the wedding of their daughter, Miss Butler Robinson, and Mr. Lynn W. Franklin, United States vice con- sul at Hongkong. Arrangements were as simple as possible as Mr, Frank- lin is returning at once to his post in China, and because of mourning in his family. The lovely grounds of the old park yielded up foliage, wild flowers and cultivated blossoms with which the house was decked. Great branches of Dorothy Perkims roses completely covered the balustrade of the stairway down which the little bridal procession passed to the impro- vised chancel, which was ornamented only with white candles and a white satin cloth, arranged in a corner of the broad hall through which the brides and bridegrooms of many generations have passed since 1738. It was in that year that the first bride went there upon the completion of the mansion. She was an aunt of little George Washington, who even then gzve promise of the great future which®was spreading out before him. She was then Mistress Betty Thornton. The bride of Thursday was one in the fifth generation to leave the old homestead. Before their departure she and tfie bridegroom planted a tiny tree in the park, and then the picturesque little wedding party went down the hill and cut their initials and date of the wedding in the bark of the old birch tree—Butler Robinson Franklin and Lynn W. Franklin; Mary Elizabeth Emery of this city. maid of honor, and Neal Dow Frank- lin, leutenant, U. S. A. best man, along with other initials cut under similar circumstances, as far back as 1760. And later the bridal pair in a shower of rice, a clatter of old shoes and the flutter of white ribbans, whirled away on the first lap of their long journey to their home in China. WI 'H a foresight which will prevent some of the inconvenient blunders of last Winter when parties overlapped in serious number, many of the more important organizations selecting the same night on which to give balls, the Junior League belies its name in selecting at this period a date for their next cabaret ball. While the really sprightly and clever en- tertainment would carry with it the greater part of the social world in any event and in the face of other important parties, the officers of the Junior League have engaged the ballrooms at the Willard Hotel for the night of December 4 and the whole of Washington's social world must hold the night exempt from other entertainment for them. Unusually at- tractive features will be worked out during the Summer and Autumn manths for the cabaret ball, and it will undoubtedly be one of the biggest successes of the early season. The members of the board of the Junior League arc: President. Miss Virginia Hunt; first vice president, Miss Helen Campbell; second vice president, Mrs. Prentiss Gilbert; correspond- ing secretary, Mrs. Donald McKnew; recording sceretary, Mrs. Gwynn Rust and treasurer, Miss Emily Mackall s . 4 Recent Engaicments Formally Announced To World of SOCiety Honors Are Being Paid by Friends to the Prospective Brides — Early Wedding Dates Noted. *'r. and Mrs. William Hinds an- rounce the engagement of their young- est daughter, Ethel, to Mr. William John Higginson of Northampton, Mass.
