ARTHUR Wife of Senator Robinson of Indianapol Roosevelt, is a frequent hostess Texas Society Planning For State Anniversary The officers and committees of the Texas State Soclety are making elab orate plans for their forthcoming ball, which will be held in the Hall of Na- tions of the Washington Hotel, Thurs- day evening, March 25. The president of the society, Representative Tom Connally, has appointed a special committee in charge of arrangements, composed of Mrs. R. J. Edmiston, chairman; Mrs. Morris Sheppard, Miss Alla Clary, Mrs. Luther A. Johnson and Arthur Perry. This committee has appointed several subcommittees to take charge of boxes, entertain- ment, refreshments and publicity. The ball is given in celebration of Texas independence from Mexico, which was declared in the month of March, ang it is anticipated many notable Texans now in Washington will be in attendance. The committee workers are making an effort to reach eve Texan in Washington, and, if possible, to make the ball one of the largest gatherings the soclety has ever had. During the evening there will be an entertainment, the details of which have not yet been worked out by the committee. There will also be an ion of officers for the coming home which the republic of Cuba pro- vides for its executive is a small but | exquisite chapel, glorious in gold and R. ROBINSO. Ind,, who, w g at the Hotel and guest in the Capital. quiet days of Lent, he has guests to join him, after which the party ad- journs to the beautiful patio, where about 11 o'clock supper is served. But the radical difference between the Cuban presidential mansion and the American is that one of the hand- somest of the drawing rooms, all in white and gold, is solely reserved for the first lady, and where on each suc- cessive Monday duringthe season she holds court from 5 to Her guests are invited and they pass almost the entire allotted time chatting with their hostess and her charming daughters and such of the official world or diplo- be asked to aid. served, hot or iced, coffee, the same way, and an abundance of those delicious drinks to be had nowhere save in Havana, made of the native fruits, all unfamiliar to Americans, but most delectable served with ice, a dash of tart wine and a little sugar, and there are varieties of cakes and the inevitable tortilla or biscuit, sweet and spiced. Though Senora Machado and her daughters wear excellently chosen Parisian clothes, there is a hint of old ille in the brilliantly embroidered ish shawls, the prevailing outer ment of Cuba, in the high comb and the head dress of lace black for the matrons and white for the maldens and_brides. When President and Mrs. Machado entertain the diplomatic corps, they perform in_one function what it re- tea, State to perform in three, a breakfast on New Year's by the Secretary of State and both a dinner and reception by the President. For a dinner is given in the sumptuous banquet hall, opening on the patio and under the lofty dome to the ministers and heads of missions, and with the secretary of state, at present Senor Cespedes. former Cuban Minister to Washington and @ few members of the senate and lower house, who deal with foreign affairs, it makes a snug company of about About 10 o'clock every mem ber of the corps comes to the prom enade concert, which follows the ban- quet and there is dancing until the small hours, with a buffet supper served from midnight. The president dances and his lady dances a few times, after which she retires to her own splendid gold and white drawing room and entertains all_callers who drop by between times. Both she and the president remain until the last guest departs, which is sometimes not until the sun begins to show over the | horizon. Senorita Maria Angel Machado, the only unmarried daugh- ter of the president, has her own court during these gala evenings, and with. a group of friends, has supper in one of the smaller dining rooms, and often solo dancing may be enjoyed there. There is an air of large hospitality about the president’s home in Cuba, but one di 3 hote is that whether visiting casually and after the manner of the tourists who invade the White House here during certain hours or from the S nger is met the door by two armed to the teeth, pistol on one side plainly in view, an immense dagger on the other, not to mention a murderous looking’ stick in front These guards cling to the stranger, walking behind or beside him, often affably taking vart in the conversa tion or explaining some finer point in the embellishments of the rooms. These armed attendants are multiplied on official occasions, and as they wear plain blue denim for evening as well as for street duty, they cannot be con- sidered an essential part of the deco- rations. Another novel feature in the | hammered brass and bronze, with altar and accessories seemingly taken from some anclent shrine of Spain. The President of Cuba has a chaplain, and he goes to the service in the Church of the Merced opposite his palace only on state occasfons, and then with a grand flourish, attended by outriders and all his household, and there are s popular manifestations to his rank. The palace occuples a of ground, and has a fine garden vhich is part of the public parking system and accessible at all hours to the public. The largest and most crowded market house in Havana is right at the doors of the president’s house, and the business streets crowd it on every side save that which opens on the Malecon or sea wall, where old Morro and the fortress of the Cabanas are in plain view. They are now merely curiosities and historical mon uments, though Morro serves in part as a military academy, but it is typical of Cuba to erect her splendid new pres- idential palace in full view of the old dungeons and prisons where so many of her illustrious sons languished and where many died that thelr country might be free.
