President and First Lady ResumePost at White House ' As Nation’s foigial Hosts v where, except at the 1 Will Give Two Receptions During Week and| Later Greet Queen of Rumania. Social World Activities. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. J RESIDENT and Mrs. Coolidge are readjusting themselves to life in P the White House after some blissful wecks, during which they threw off the sometimes tiresome yoke of conventionality and felt that the eyes of the world were not upon them, and this week will truly give them back to us as the official hosts of the Nation. Among the various events of interest in the White House will be the reception Thurs- day afternoon to the distinguished authorities on health, who will be in convention here, and delegates to the Tuberculosis Congress also will be received. According to a recent published interview, the President does not mind shaking hands, and no one ever thought that Mrs. Coolidge did. BEFORE the White House assumes many activities, however, the lovely Queen of Rumania and her interesting group of fellow travelers will likely have arrived, paid their respects and departed. There will be a gen- eral hustling around for Rumanian flags—a mighty scarce article in this country—so the city will not be left as it was when the Crown Prince of Sweden and his consort arrived, with scarce a show of Swedish colors any- legation, where they made their home while here. So it was with the visit of the King and Queen of the Belgians. Scarcely a flag of that country was to be found save at the embassy and at the residence on Sixteenth street which they occupled. d, too, the State Department seems still at sea about the proper etiuette attending Queen Marie's visit. The conduct and instructions of the department at the time of the visit of the Belgian royal family are of no benefit in the way of experience, as they came officially, while the Jovely Queen Marie comes otherwise. It is planned, however, to pay every gouible tribute to her royal highness and to the family and members of T g suite. THE social bureau of the State Department will have its hands full to overflowing this season, begifhining at the White House with the re- ception there Thursday for the visiting health officials, and the annual Autumn reception or tea of the first lady of the land to the diplomats. The reception in the Pan-American Union Building Wednesday evening will be the first big foregathering of society, and all of the pan-American diplomats will be present, while closely trailing in its wake there will be another such meeting at the Mayflower Hotel when a reception will be held for delegates attending the Tuberculosis Congress. MBERS of society and diplomats in the vicinity of famous country clubs are loath to abandon the elaborate programs planned to last right up to Thanksgiving day. In official Washington it is necessary to forego personal feelings in such matters and adhere to well defined rules of etiquette, but other cities are not so hampered, and society elsewhere will wait until frost flies to assume citylike activity EBUTANTES always take themselves seriously. and now enters one from the Senate circle, charming Fannie Dial, who, while she missed her trip abroad this Summer, is yet one of the most attractive and finished irls on the entire list. She will make her appearance ‘round Thanksgiv- ing time, and the whole of the Senate and House will pay_her homage. There is likely to be several other girls from the congressional set, but their coming-out has not assumed a serious phase. These delightfully refreshing coming-out parties will engage society until New Year day. when the only overlapping event into 1927 will be the coming-out party of Miss Helen Robinson, daughter of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Robinson, which will be in the nature of a dance or ball the night of January 15. Miss Robinson's New York coming-out—a supper dance at Pierre’s, in New York. November 13—will take to tHat city a number of the Washington buds and some older folk from official society. Miss Katharine Amory, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Colpey Amory oi Boston and \Washington, will have about the most elaborate pro- gram in the way of entertaining and being entertained of any of the girls. She will meet-the smartest of the debutantes at a lunch she will give on November 16, at a dance the night of November 29, at a big tea the after- noon of December R and at a large dance the night of December 29. Miss Amory was a student at the Shipley School, and is an accomplished girl in the way of travel, sports and languages. 5 Miss Muriel Bliss will be the first bud presented, a tea being ar- ranged for her November 13 and a dance November 30. There is a struggle between maters for the date of Thanksgiving.afternoon or eve- ning, which falls on November 25 this year, such as has prevailed in previ- ous years. However, that is the date selected by Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. Hight for the presentation oi Miss Barbara Hight at a tea with dancing, and they will give a large and brilliant ball for her December 28. Decem- ber 25, a date always preserved for the Children's Country Home ball, con- ducted by Mrs. Joscph Leiter, is taken as the dance date for Miss Helen Gatley, whose debut tea will be November 19. Debutantes of real social jmportance will not exceed 35 in nuwmber this vear, and many of the girls are looking to make careers rather than social successes. . 'One of the most recent buds announced is dainty Miss Harriet Stearns Whitford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Langdon Whitford, who has many accomplishments and a good background to build on. Holton Arms girl. and. besides more recent important family ramifica- tions, she is the granddaughter of the late Gov, Nehemiah G. Ordway and the niece, some-time removed, of Gov. Onslow Stearns of New Hampshire. Weomen of her family have before now been belles in the Capital, and when she has her coming-out, December 28, she will have quite a follow- ing.
