' Capital Society Entering Upon Interesting Period Of Winter Festivities | Continuous Round of Honor Dinners, With Dis-| tinguished Guests Listed. Included in ‘ Pre-Lenten Season Program. | BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ROM an official standpoint Washington society is just now as- suming its most interesting phase, and from now until Ash Wed- nesday, March 2, there will be a continuous round of dinner parties with the President and Mrs. Coolidge, the Vice Presi- dent Mrs. Dawes, cabinet members and their wives, Ambassadors, Ministers, Senators and Representatives as honor guests. The Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge will perform the double function of host and guest this week, dining Tuesday night with the Secretary of War and Sirs. Davis. and holding their annual reception of state in honor of the Supreme Court Thursday night. The reception will be the fifth state function of the Winter, and certainly no more genial or better loved guests of honor could be found than the Chief Justice and Mrs. Tait, whose lives have been more or less linked with Washington ever smce{ their marriage in Cincinnati in 1886, and it was four years later that Mr. | Taft became solicitor general of the United States under President Harri- son. At that period, as Mrs. Taft put it, a dinner party of 12 seemed large. Next week. when they arc again honor guests at the White House, the dinner company will certainly number more than a hali hundred. OR can the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes be said to play second fiddle in any but official rank, for they are being sought as guests every night in the week by officials and diplomats. Last night Mrs. Henry F. Dimock claimed them, earlier in the week the Minister of Austria and Mme. Prochnik had them as guests, and Tuesday night the Minister of Hungary and Countess Szechenyi will entertain them. And so on_through the season the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes will be guests when they are not hosts in their own home. Soa | UESDAY night society will for a time forsake the beaten paths of formal entertainment and will fake on a few thrills and hair-raising experiences at the Washington Riding and Hunt Club, when under the name | of society horse show, the most daring riders, both men and women, in Capital society will perform. The revenue from the horse show will go to benefit the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines’ Club on K street. Mrs. Thrope is chairman of the show and her committee are strong and important socially. Count de Sartiges, counsel and charge d'affaires of the French embassy, has a box for the evening, and another especially interested diplomat is Ishmail Kamel Bey of the Egyptian legation staff, who not only has a box but will ride, and then entertain guests at supper following the show. Diplomats and society folk and cavalrymen from Fort Myer will ride and do stunts. George | et | 'O mention men at a fashion show sounds about as strange as it would | have sounded to mention women at a smoker 20 years ago, and yet men by the dozens—professional men, business men, diplomats and others —are taking a keen interest in the cabaret and fashion show set for Pri- | day evening at the Mayflower Hotel, when the Garfield Memorial Hospital | will benefit. There will be cards, dancing, tables for the supper and a cabaret quite as clever as New York makes them. Many tables have been taken by men in and out of the medical profession—perhaps not knowing | that the most fetching styles of New York will be shown on the most | HARRIS & BEWING~ G ~1 Houghton Announce Daughter Betrothed Miss Houghton to Wed Mr. C.
