UEEN MARIE'S visit gave great impetus to Washington society during the period of her brief stay, and it is safe to say that the one social function connected with her visit, the dinner at the White House, when the President and Mrs. Coolidge were | hosts for the Nation, passed without a single heartache. It was purely | official in every respect and carried no greater formality than that which attends the presentation of an ambassador from a foreign country. The exchange of visits between royalty and the President of our Republic is an event which has been rchearsed here often before. OYALTY is not such a vague and far-off thing to Washington so- ciety as one might picture. Every month and at intervals several times a month there is a call to attend the celebration of a ruler’s birth anniversary and to drink his health. The next such event of big im- portance will be the reception to be held in the new Italian embassy the night of November 11, when the fifty-seventh anniversary of King Victor Emmanuel IIT will be celebrated. Under the new Ambassador, Nobile Giacomo de Martino, the embassy has assumed wonderful interest'| and is regarded by far the most beautiful foreign home in Washington. Prince Caetani, the former Ambassador, under whose regime the embassy was built, left before it was fully finished. OT until well on in November will there be constant social activity, but each day brings noted visitors and dinner parties-and luncheons for them. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Dodd will have as their guest early in Novem- ber. Harold Butler, director of the international labor office in Geneva. Sev- eral social events of more than usual importance have been arranged for him, and among them a dinner which Mr. and Mrs. Dodd will give No- vember 14, There will be a dinner the,following evening at Rauscher’s by a union of various organizations. In this group will be the United States Chamber of Commerce, the Cosmos Club, the National Women's Democratic Club and othe Mr. James J. Davis will preside and will himself entertain for the visitor. UNIOR LEAGUE girls held a successful style show and sale at one of the largest importing shops Thursday, and dozens of society women watched popular girls parade in morning, afternoon and evening gowns with all the accessories that go to make a costume charming and com- lete. Over in New York, where the Junior League is much larger than Washington, all sorts of movements are on foot to solidify the Juniors even to have J. L. follow the names of members in the social Just now there has been instituted a special test for fitness and he girls must pledge themselves to allow no social duties to interfere with their work for the organization. HE Sojourners’ dance at the Marine Barracks last night brought out a charming lot of buds under guidance of Mrs. Amos A. Fries and Mrs Luther Gregory, who had the dance in charge. Some of the girls at- tending will be prescnted in November and others in December, so the dance last night was just a little trying out. Miss Bostrom, one of the diplomatic buds, was there and many of the girls who have already ex- changed debutante informalities in the way of dinners, teas and luncheons. T.

Attache of the Spanish Legation Queen Marie Sets Pace For Many New Styles In Feminine DI‘CSS Some Other Fashions Made. and Women of Society. Besides winning the hearts of the people, from those in the White House on down, her majesty the Queen of Rumania left in her wake a, number of new fashions for woman- | kind to follow. Feather fans were languishing, few appearing in ball- rooms and at other big affairs last season, but the graceful sweep of Queen Marie's wand-like fan of long, uncurled ostrich—so long that the| plumes swept the floor when she let | her arms drop—has completely re- vived this splendid accessory, at least | for this season. Fur will have a new | vogue in the Capital, too, for her majesty showed scarce a single gar- ment here without it. Graceful flow- ing “wing sleeves” adorned almost every one of her evening gowns and | she has settled for this season the trying question of whether or not to} wear gloves. ‘ ‘When she appeared for the State dinner ‘at the White House she car- ried in her left hand a very long pair of white' kid gloves, long enough in- deed to reach to the shoulden. She carried them, but did not wear them. Her royal highness Princess Ileana wore a glove on her left hand, but her right hand was free that she might indulge in the great American handshaking bout. Princess Ileana also carried a natty evening bag em- broidered in cut steel and crystals to correspond with her gown, and she wore Jjust such hats, coats and dresses as does any well financed American girl. Instead of the choker beads which American women fancy and wear, the Queen and the princess both wore long strands of pearls, the longest ropes reaching almost to the waist line. Sequin and bead em- broidered gowns will also retain favor, because the Queen and the princess both wore them. Mrs. William E. Borah, whose cos- tumes are always distinctive, wears | with her street suits a very long string of amber beads, large, round and splendidly matched, astonishingly luminous and light. They were sent to her by one of her husband's admir- ers and just after one of the Senator’s speeches when he was a listener. Mrs. Williamson Smith Howell, Jr., | proved to her own satisfaction that| music is the universal language when she accompanied Mr. Howell to Pra- gue, where he was secretary of the United States legation. Mrs. Howell was, before her marriage, Miss Char- lotte Barth of Denver, Colo., and is a talented and cultivated singer. The | great Campanini himself urged her | to continue her studies and go into| opera, for which he belleved her well fitted. However, she met and mar-| ried Mr. Howell and has since used her talents only in her own drawing | room, where after a dinner party she frequently sits down and, playing her own accompaniments. gives a short program of songs and operatic arias. Thus she has filled in the time after conversation waned, particularly when conversation is in a foreign tongue. After serving at Prague Mr. Howell was transferred and has recently come to the State Department, where he is| attached to the Mexican division. The charge d'affaires of Rumania, | Mr. Radu T. Djuvara, who has served in that capacity since early April, when Prince Bibesco retired, is' a charming musician. He sits at his plano and improvises delightful on folk themes of his native land and on themes of his own creation, making quaint and interesting little compgsi- tions. | The company Mzs.ALVIN DODD, * returnin g From PBodtoru to entertain aforeign duest. Washington Society Buds Showered With Courtesies Groups of Debutantes Frequently Assembled to| Enjoy Dancing, Luncheons and Bridge - Formally and Informally. Quite a number of delightfully in- formal courtesies have been exchanged between the debutantes of the season, small groups gathering at hotels for luncheon and then going to the home of one of the buds to finish the after- noon by playing bridge. Then, too, giving a pleasant start to the gayety | for the charming bouquet of buds are | the informal “get-togethers’ arranged for them by debutantes of last sea- son, who following the lead of buds | of past years are virtually taking the | “budding girls” of the current season under their wings. Miss Frances Hopkins, daughter of Col. and Mrs. F. E. Hop- kins, has given several luncheons for, small groups of the girls. Wednesday | she entertained at the home of her parents, 3224 Cleveland avenue, Miss Fannie Dial, debutante daughter of former Senator and Mrs. Nathaniel B.

Miss Margaretta Moreno will be hostess at a luncheon Novembeg 7, when she will homor Miss Hopkins Joyes. daughter J. W. Joyes. and Miss Georgial of Brig. Gen. and Mrs Mile. Pauline Bostrom, debutante daughter of the Minister of Sweden and Mme. Bostrom, made her first ap- pearance at an evening function in ‘Washington last evening at the So- journers' dance at the Marine Bar- racks. She was accompanied by her attractive house guest, Miss Hammar- berg, who will be with her this Winter at the legation. The buds of the sea- son were invited to the Sojourners’ dance by Mrs. Amos A. Fries and Mrs. Luther E. Gregory and practic- ally all were in attendance. Of interest to the debutante circle is I the arrival of Countess Anne-Renee | Quadt, niece of the Ambassador of Italy, Nobile de Martino, who will spend sometime with the Ambassador and Nobil de Martino at the embassy. Countess Quadt is of debutante age, but no formal debut has been an. nounced. Princess Cantacuzene and her daughter, Princess Ida Cantacuzene, who are in Europe will come to Wash- ington early next month. They will take an apartment here for the Win- ter season.
