MRS NOYES, and MIRA PEARCE, i hter of M Wif&&éfie%“‘?miu&mi in New Hamyp Visit of Haiti’s President Brings Renewed Interest To Official Circles Arrival of the Head of Haiti and Mme. Borno Assures Round of Hospitality—Mrs. Coolidge Receives Gift for White House. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. OCIAL activity at the White House for a week has been confined almost solely to early morning breakfast parties, receiving interest- ing delegations and to the usual daily constitutional of the Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge. This week, however, holds an added importance in the entertainment for the visiting President of Haiti and Mme. Borno, when the President and Mrs. Coolidge will be their hosts on some special occasion. The visit will also bring other social affairs, as the State Department has planned the reception and entertainment of the guests quite as carefully as though they were royal personages instead of representatives of a flourishing republic. The President and Mme. Borno are still fresh from the formalities of the former’s inauguration, which took place May 15. NOTHER tapestry has been added to the collection in the White House. Mrs. Coolidge received a delegation of women, headed by Mme. Bryn, wife of the Minister of Norway, who presented her with a copy of the famous Baldishol tapestry, an ancient Norwegian work of art. which the first lady of the land acaepted as a gift to the White House. The presen- tation was in commemoration of the visit of Mrs. Coolidge in Minnesota, when she attended the Norse-American centennial. The visit was a charm- ing and friendly one, but, like all other events at the White House dur- ing the weck, quite brief. O of the oldest tapestry picces in the White House forms the filling in a gold fire screen before the white marble mantel in the green room. It is a splendid piece of old Gobelin tapestry, softened by time and a few, very few, moths. The elaborate frame shows a spread eagle at the top and emblems of the royal family of Austria. It was presented to the White Housc in President Grant's time by the Bmperor of Austria. ‘When the late Stanford White restored the White House and planned the state dining room decoration he presented a fine piece of old Flemish tapestry depicting a hunting sccne and having in a panel a dissertation from Virgil on the value of hunting. Hanging on the wall in the ground floor corridor is a fine old Persian prayer rug, the rich coloring and de- sign showing many precious and semi-precious stones worked into the pattern. This was a gift during President Roosevelt's administration. The relics of this nature arc now being carefully watched and cared for, and in time the President’s house will have a museum of no mean value. HE closing of the British embassy and the departure of the Ambassa- A dor and Lady Isabella Howard and most of the members of the staff for Manchester, leaves quite a social void, and added to this is the sail- ing of Baron de Cartier, Ambassador of Belgium, which leaves a charge d'affaires, who has no Summer plans, and the sailing of Baroness Maltzan, which leaves a still further rift, to still be augmented by the departure of the Ambassador, Baron Maltzan, at the end of June. The secretary of the German embassy and Frau Schlimpert, who were on their wedding journey when they came to Washington, will leave within a few days for a motor trip through New England. It is likely that members of the embassy staff will again choose the North Shore as a locatton for a Summer residence. M NY of the diplomats will go to New York Monday preparatory to proceeding to West Point for the commencement exercises. Georges A. L. Dumont, military attache, will represent the French Ambassador, who is now in Paris on, special mission, and the assistiant military attache and Mme. Thenault will also attend the exercises. 'ARM days have sent a realization that Washington society is quite as interesting afield from home and in the open, as in drawing rooms, where one observes the formalities of life. Mrs. Longworth and Paulina, the congressional baby, are far more interesting trundling slowly around the river front in Potomac Park, stopping every time a duck lights on the water, or ducks and dives to the amusement of the little girl, than Mrs, Longworth of the conventional drawing-room season. The little girl, Paulina, is put out on the grass to play. and hundreds of admiring mothers stop by to take pattern from her simple rompers, made of gingham—or linen for best—and admire her simple straw hat with a ribbon around the crown. It was at the dedication exercises of the Ericsson statue when the Crown Prince of Sweden presided, that Mr. Longworth joined Mrs. Long- worth and Paulina in the car, tossed his top hat over the baby's bonny locks and set every one laughing.
