SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. . as interestin it is unusual is being entertained bx 1 Mrs. Coolidge at the White House just now, and 1g given over to politicians or the more worldly side | giving to churchmen a big, generous hospitality typical of the best domestic life in America. The Council of the | Congregational Church, being held in Washington from October 20 until § almost the very end of the month, gives occasion for the party, and with | but few exceptions, perhaps none, each churchman is an old friend to both the President and Mrs. Coolidge. HOUSE party the President of it is XCEPT ifor accompanying the President to the Corcoran Gallery a a week ago for the opening exhibition of the American Society of Decorative Art, and which marked its 100th anniversary, and her at- tendance Thursday afternoon of the Pavley-Oukrainsky Russe ballet, Mrs. Coolidge has confined her activities to her guests since their arrival. Now that the social secretary work of the First Lady has been properly | adjusted, leavir r responsible only for the more personal part of it, | while every phase will be officially treated, a great burden has been | lifted from The present adjustment of social events, if carried out as planned, W a general relief, not only to Miss Randoiph, the social secretary to Mrs. Coolidge, but to others who have had to solve the knotty problems of pleasing the world—and especiaily the political part of it as well. THE White House will undoubtedly open its portals for a young folks' party during the Christmas holidays. Never before has a President’s wife found things so tempting along that line. Mr. John Coolidge will undoubtedly come from Amhecrst College, and Dwight Davis, jr., son of the Secretary of War and Mrs. Davis, from his school, while his three sisters, the elder Miss Alice Davis, 16 years old; young folks in the fam- ily of the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur and that of the Secre- tary of Agriculture and Mrs. Jardine will form a group to gladden any heart. RINCE OTTO VON BISMARCK and other important visitors lent a tang to the otherwise mild entertainments of the early Autumn, and dinner parties and luncheons were not wanting. For a fact, seldom has there been such a social flurry so early, and the Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg are already lightening their burdens for the later, fuller season by dining with diplomats from time to time instead of leaving a veritable rush for the real season. UITE formal will be the dinner at the Japanese embassy October 29, when the Ambassador and Mme. Matsudaira have the new American Ambassador to Japan, Mr. Charles MacVeagh, and Mrs. MacVeagh to dine. October 31 they will celebrate the birth anniversary of the Emperor of Japan. An invitation to the Japanese embassy is greatly to be desired, For not in years have two such splendid hosts been sent from the Flowery Kingdom. It is a joy, indeed, to go there, not alone for the hospitality, but for the artistic beauty of the place under the skillful direction of Mme. Matsudaira, where screens, fine pict ‘res, wonderful carvings, rugs d other things arc arranged according to the ideas of that country ind where a spray of cherry blossom or wistaria is made more effective than an ambrella stand oi American beauty roses. NGAGEMENTS and weddings of interest have given topics of con- versation for drawing rooms and over dinner tables, but not in many ‘moons has society seen a lovelier wedding than that of Miss, Elinor Daven- ort Wheeler and Mr. Marshall Orme Exnicios, in the Churc™ of the Epiphany yesterday afternoon, where met -officials, diplomats and resi- dents from the best of Washington's own circle. The bride’s group of attendants surrounded her like a lovely bouquet in Autumn tints, their gowns in varied shades of Autumn yel'ow, their brown velvet hats and their arm bouquets of chrysanthemum all combining to give a real at- mosphere of the season.
