BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE coming of the President and Mrs. Coolidge, who returned last night, and the reopening of the White House put the whole of Washington in tune for the Autumn and Winter season. The ef- fect is immediate on socicty, and foretells an early and, according- ly, a long season, and certainly there has seldom been a more brilliant prospect. Since her advent as mistress of the White House Mrs. Coolidge has shown every consideration for the social scheme of life here, and has arranged and given out the dates for White House functions as early as possible, thus accommodating other women of society whose programs must be arranged so as not to conflict with the White House program. RS. COOLIDGE will spend the next week or so in arrangiug her so- cial program, inspecting and settling her living quarters in the ‘White | {ouse and otherwisc arranging for the domestic and social siege. Seldom ias the splendid colonial mansion looked better, fresher or brighter, and | with the fireplaces all open and set ready to dispel the chill of Autumn lays, with an unusual array of pretty lamps, with prettier shades, and sther home-giving touches, the second floor of the mansion is really lovely.
