EVERA} for tt 4 NL hailed as a happy omen the departure of the President and Mrs. Coolidge on the Mayflower yesterday afternoon for a cruise on th¢ Potomac as signifying reassuring news from the bedside of the President’s father. Adding at least a few hours of additional happiness to them during the days of Lent will be the arrival soon of their son, Mr. John Coolidge, who have a brief holiday from Amhkrst College, where he is a student. Thursday afternoon, if all goes well, Mrs. Coolidge will receive the guests | »r the sccond of her series of three afternoon musicals. NY smaller mportant dinner companies arc to be entertained | during the weck, and what with luncheon parties, small teas and con- certs there is quite enough to keep society from stagnation and indeed | «dmit of but little time for quiet reflection. Quite an interesting dinner party in official life last week was that given at the Willard Hotel Friday night by Senator and Mrs. Robert Nelson Stanfield of Oregon, whose | wuests were divided between the East and West, ofiicial and_unofficial ranks, with the Minister oi Guatemala and Mme. Sanchez Latour as guests of honor, Mrs. Stanfield arranges ail of the small details for her | luncheon and dinner parties and makes many of the dainty-dishes and | fi she serves. At the dinner there was a strong suggestion of St. Patrick’s day and the unique way of gentlemen find- | ing their p 1ers for dinner was of her own creation. Dainty St. Patrick’s | day cards, handmade and highly colored, bearing quaint little figures dressed n green were cut in two. On one table the gentlemen found that part of | the card ailotted to them and on another the cards for the ladies. The trick was in the gentlemen of the party finding the lady in whose hand was the other half of his card. Fun alive prevailed among the staid members of society and furnished a rattling topic all through the dinner. Later the entire company attended the Friday cvening dancing class at the Willard. in international affair—internatiinal cast and interna- .

Senor Freyre has, however, changed hi§ plans, and the new diplomat on the Bolivian staff takes his place as first secretary of legation. This addition to the corps bears a name famillar and much honored in Washington, and he comes of the same family as that Dr. Fran- Mexican Ambassador here. Dr. de la Barra was during the critical period after the downfall of Diaz called to various important posts, and after the assassination of Madero he was pro- visional President of Mexico until the new constitution was adopted and Huerta elected. Senor George de la Barra, like the former Ambassador, now an exile from Mexico and a pro- fessor at the Sorbonne in Paris, is de- scended from a distinguished family of Toledo, Spain, two members of which were among the conquistadores of the late seventeenth century, one branch remaining in Mexico and the other going first to New Granada and thence south to the land which is called Bolivia in honor of the illustri- ous liberator, Simon Bolivar. The secretary of the Bolivian lega- tion _returns to this country as to a second home, for he received his pri- mary education here at the Technical School in Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
