MRrS. LA HACHE, she and Lieut.Sam L.LaHache are now living:at Cathedral Mansions. Varied Phases of Society Figure in Program of Past and Present Week White House Garden Party—Weddings and Formal Dinners and Luncheons Form Large Part-of Social Life in the Capital. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. events in the Capital only assume different degrees of bril- liancy, but the annual garden vsmy which the President gives for the disabled veterans of the World War stands out as by far the most picturesque and human event of them all. There is just enough “gocial side” introduced to give the guests of honor an idea of official society—women of the cabinct, Senators’ wives and a few others appear- ing in their daintiest hats and frocks to make up a genuine garden party picture. Thursday’s party on the south front lawn was even more pic- turesque and human than any of its predecessors. Cabinet members and others are becoming accustomed to meet the men from the hospitals, and there is a friendlier, less embarrassed feeling than on the day some years ago when the late President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. Wilson held the first such party. MRS. COOLIDGE put all of her detightful personality in the entertain- ment of her guests, and from the mere handshaking as the long line of veterans passed to such trivial features as having Prudence Prim, the lovely white collie, show off her finery and perform for them, the First Lady of the Land was at her best. And Prudence Prim, the flapper of the White House kennels—well, it is a matter of the greatest amusement to both her master and mistress that she possesses all the feminine weak- nesses and vanities, such as her delight in new ribbons and hats. She dearly loves to be dressed up and stands patiently while her mistress ad- justs a bow on her collar or brushes her silken coat. ESTERDAY aiternoon the President and Mrs. Coolidge witnessed for the first time a great countryside wedding in Maryland, many of the | other high officials of Washington and society folk from many cities | meeting at charming old Glenelg Manor, the home of Mr. W. Bladen Lowndes, for the wedding of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Catherine Beasley T.owndes of Baltimore, to Mr. William V. Hodges of Denver, treasurer of the Republican national committee. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Coolidge will attend the private opening of the American Horticultural Society at the Washington Hotel, when a number of other personages will be received by Secretary Jardine. . ’I’H‘E Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard, who last night gave a dinner at the embassy to celebrate the birthday anni- versary of King George V, will be among the first diplomats of their rank to quit Washington for the Summer. They have leased the Manchester estate of Mrs. Alvin S. Dexter, White Lodge, and will probably close the embassy by the middle of June and remove their household there. The North Shore holds attractions offered by but few other sections, in that n}a‘ny of the most famous country clubs in America are located in that vicinity. . i HE Vice President and Mrs. Dawes will temporarily part company . with their delightful foster childdren this week, who will accompany thele governess to Evanston. Mrs. Dawes must shortly follow, as the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden are scheduled to reach Chi- cago, about June 21 Mrs. Kellogg is already in her beautiful home in Sk Paul, making ready for the royal visitors, and at the end of this week Mrs. Wilbur and Miss Wilbur, wife and daughter of the Secretary of the Navy, will start on their extended visit to California. i MFS. JARDINE, wife of the Secretary of Agriculture, is at the Green- brier White Sulphur Springs, with the younger members-of her fam- ilgs and Mrs. Davis, wife of the Secretary of War, is at a.Western sana- ra{fum for a rest before going to her New England Summer home. Others of the cabinet and in different branches of official life will soon take leave of the Cariu!, and, for the first time since the World War started, the (;Pp!x:.l will be, indeed, a deserted village. PHERE comes a rumor of more ‘than usual interest to society, that the ¢ Leiter mansion, at Lees Heights, Va, a rl-ce marked by some of the mest brilliant even .aeen.bg society here in a score of years, is to be transformed into a fashionable teahouse, which Mrs.' John R. Williams, the mother of Mrs, Leiter, will manage. ASHINGTON women will- again have the pleasure of seeing matrons ¥ and maids of society pose for.them as manikins in the very latest mgdels in dresses, hats, coats and snappy accessories of toilet at the third 434 last fashion show, to be held in the walnut room of a large importers’ store, at Eleventh and F streets, for the benefit.of the Junior League.

Like so many of the impor- tant weddings of this season, that of Miss Porter and Ensign Baron was celebrated in Bethlehem Chapel at ‘Warner, rector of St. Alban's in Ca- thedral Close, officlating. There were bouquets of pale pink roses and del- phenium in the gold vases on the altar and at either side of the chancel The bride's father, Representative Porter, chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the House, walked with his daughter to the altar and re- sponded in giving her away. She wore a very charming dress of cream white | satin, the skirt quite full and long and the long waist of the closely fit- ted bodice trimmed in a deep fall of rare old family lace which fell off the shoulders, leaving 'a stralght line across the bust and back and form- ing_short sieeves. The court train of satin was round- | ed at the hemline to admit of the { use of a halt circle of the same rare {0ld lace as adorned the bodice. | very long and full tulle veil was laid | in simple folds across the brow and { held at either side and the back by little clusters of orange blossoms. Her bouquet was an old-fashioned round one of white gardenias in a lace hqlder and from it there was & shower of lilies of the valley. There was but one attendant for the bride, Miss Luctlle Bell, daughter of Col. and Mrs. Ola Bell of Balti- more, who wore a gown of orchid pink georgette, the oircular skirt very full and the sleeves in the/long walst- ed bodice falling long and full.
