FRAU DIECKHOFE, wife Chatde d Affaires of Germany~ Social Programfor Autumn In Capital Lists Events Of Unusual Importance Foreign Celebnities, Including Rumanian Queen, to Be Entertained—Distinguished Americans in City—Winter Balls Scheduled. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. OT many times in the history of the Capital has so much im- portance attached to the Autumn program as this year, and besides the visit of the Queen of Rumania and her suite next week, there are other distinguished persons from foreign lands constantly coming to us. From far away New Zealand came the prime minister, the Riggk Honorable J. G. Coates, and his charming wife, stop- ping long enough to meet the President and Mrs. Coolidge and enjoy a Little British hospitality on American soil, also a little sightseeing, before again starting on their voyage to England, R. WILLIAM PHILLIPS, former Assistant Secretary of State and always a much admired and beloved diplomat, now Ambassador to Belgium, arrived, and each day of this week will be marked by the coming of some celebrity from afar or the return of important residents from their vacations. Mr. Myron T. Herrick, Ambassador to France, came and was the guest of the President and Mrs. Coolidge at the White House. It in recent years that the custom of entertaining our high rank- | ing diplomats at the White House when they return for vacations has come into vogue. It is well, for its saves an ambassador the embarrassment of too many cailers when in a hotel and it _gives more intimate and en- lightening conversation on international topics between the President and his foreign envoys. Just now the visit of our Ambassador to France fairly bristles with interest on both large and small topics. MRS. COOLIDGE: responded to the call of music Friday afternoon when she attended the concert of chamber music in the auditorium of the Congressional Library, and from now on one will find the First Lady sf the Land doubtless will be present at almost every worth-while entertain- ment given during the Autumn season, at least when her absorbing duties of the White House permit. She likes the Philadelphia Orchestra, the New York Symphony, the Boston Symphony and, in fact, every organization that brings to us the best of artists, and she never fails to attend at least one of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend’s morning musicals. UT the Queen’s coming. That is the paramount topic ,and the chief event in connection with her arrival is, of course, the dinner at the White House. How many guests? From what branches of society will ‘hey be selected? Will there be a reception following the dinner? These and other questions form enough of those inquisitive little pot-hooks to =ncircle the whole social set. The dinner will undoubtedly be much larger than was at first expected, ranging in the number of guests with the usual diplomatic dinner—perhaps a little smaller. The guests will be the higher u«ficms, such as the President’s executive family and those diplomats who are in some way connected with her imperial highneu. he re- ception will undoubtedly be limited to those dining at the White House, and will take place following the digner, as was the case when the King and Queen of the Belgians were guests of the late Vice President Marshall and Mrs. Marshall in the home of Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh. pERHAPS even more curiosity exists over the small personal matters pertaining to the Queen. Her dresses, hats, jewels and such matters 1t was from the Queen of the Belgians that American women got their greatest jar, expecting something magnificent in her attire and finding ~hat simplicity marked even the most royal garments she brought avith lier from across the water. Indeed, the consort of King Albert taught Americans a lesson in good taste in dress. THE dance program for the Winter is rapidly filling uu, the debutantes exacting many nights of the early season and even up to New Year day, while the fashionable dancing class which has met at the Willard for several years i{s slow in making announcement. The Army dances for the eom{ng season. always a particularly bright spot in the social pro- gram, claim the Willard ballroom for the n? t: 3 Friday, December 3; Friday, Janvary 7; Friday, February 11, and Friday, April 22. The polo hall, the Children’s Hospital ball, the Children’s Country Home ball, Episecopal Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital balt and other events, as fixed in the social irmament as are the stars in the heavens, are all on my lady's date book for the season and are to be worked around rather than interfered with.
