Tales of Well —_— NEW SOCIETY HOSTESS Known Folk In Social and Official Life Interesting Ceremony at White House. in Fare- well to Old Year, lnaugurated by President and * BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. President and Mrs. Coolidge may be | said to have ing raph White House custon tiful cerc of buryi with military he by the bugler on the roof of th and aining volved in rious introduced by the First Ladies during their o v of the White House. Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft may be said to have made the most radical changes in the procedure which had Imost untouched, since Mrs James Monroe, fresh from Paris, had uced a social code. The remod of the White House during the fipst vear of the Roosevelt regime and the building of a separate executive office necessitated many changes in 1e mode of living, which every Presi dent since then has followed. Mrs Roosevelt, being of English birth and rearing, revived the custom of having garden fetes, more or less neglect d since Mistress Dolly Madison had din- rers and receptions al fresco under | he big chestnut trees on the south wn. Mrs. Taft relegated the uni-| formed policemen, formerly so con-| spicuous in the lobby of the Wh House, to the background. and in| Their stead there have been tall, suave | negro servitors, such as are seen in very formal and well regulated home. She also began the serving of refresh- ments at the evening levees, a_custom | cpntinued for the two terms of Wood row Wilson, but at once discarded by | Tresident and Mrs. Harding, as under | the crowded conditions of the state rooms it was too difficult to perform | gracefully or L most intel the wi written of n that beau into history rony the old year nors was inaugurated man- | actual dawn of study inno sion on the 1927. An ente is n;} the v ions | factorily. { Mrs, Roosevelt also established the | It tea, table for the late afternoons. and this custom held seemingly as a pe anent one, though the second M Woodrow Wilson, who seemingly never drank tea, did not have this form of amenity as much in evidence as did her immediate predecessor or Jrs. Roosevelt or Mrs. Taft. Pr ent Jefferson consumed many Cups of tea all through the day, and the tea wagon fashioned by himself was al- ways replenished and stood accessible | isitors, After the Sage of Monti- cello had returned, the tea habit lan- guished, and from the middle of the 1890s until Mrs. Roosevelt became mistress of the mansion tea played a @mall role in the White House offer- ingé. Mrs. Harding, who was more interested in politics than in social affairs, though she was a charming and bountiful hostess, accepted things as they were when she entered the White House: but as tea was becom- ing more and more established, she served It at the afternoon gatherings, but also served cocoa and a cold drink. Jphn D. Rockefeller, jr. whose gifts to preserve and restore the anclent monuments now exceed more than $5,000,000, recently made it very plain to the French public that credence should not be placed on such rumors as have agitated Paris that a rich American had purchased the Chateau de Courcelle, built in th time of Louis XIII ana one of the most ornate and exquisite of all the roval country palaces, and proposed to remove it stone by stone to the ’bunks of the Hudson. Mr. Rockefel- ler xpoke with authority when he aMed attention to the significant Zifts made by Americans for a pur- pose quite divergent, namely to keep | 1hese sacred monuments right where| they are and in prime condition, in order that the generations to come might enjoy their beauty. Americans, theugh the contrary has been sedu lously circulated against them. siid Mr. Rtockefeller, have a genuine love and respect for the past und all that has a historic bac kground has been an object of their solicitude. ~Mr. Ttockefeller made an early Winter visit to Paris to see how the restora- tion and preservation of Versailles progresses and he never fails to visit Jheims and note how month by nonth the cathedral throws off the Lears and ruin of the bombardment and begins to look as it did before 1914. Mr, Vincent Astor might be scribed as one of New York Cit Joading realtors, and he takes vast pride in hi: chievements in this llr\e‘ and mingles with his fellow \\’orkur.«I just as much as he can. ile has {herefore been entrusted with a dip- Jomiatic mission, namely the woman realtors of Gotham—and they num- ber several hundred and dq a tre- mendous volume of its business in this line—have asked him to let the nale of the species know that they do not care & canceled stamp Shether men in elevators take off . wheir hats or mot nor whether men seated in street cars or buses get up 10 @o the gallant act in offering their places.

SEARON Tepr nt the third generation ! of families who had been prominent in Washington's social life. Miss Lilia Tuckerman, whose parents crossed the continent in order that ghe might the home of her parents’ youth and romance, is the granddaughter of Mr. Bdward McCauley and his late wife, who before ma as Miss Frances Steele. Her mother, Lilla Me Ca s the eldest of the th lovely blond daughters, and her mar- ringe, just 23 years ago, was an event of and importance. Mr. | ana Tuckerman moved to estate at Arroyo Paredong near O penterie, Calif., about ears ago. They have another daughter, Flovence. ted in California two a vounger girl, Frances erman, who is at_school in New Miss Florence Murlatt, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Mar- | Intt, is the granddaughter of the I | Bishop of Pennsylvania, Right Rev. | Alexander Mackay-Smith, and she | spent all her girlhood in Washington. | Miss Harriet Fluntress, granddaughter of the late Sevellon Brown, for many vears connceted with the State De- partment, has found many of those who knew the past generations of her family ready to extend a cordial wel- ome. The return of M. and Mme Marcel Levis, and their occupancy of the Charles M. Ffoulke mansion on Massachusetts avemue, is another proof that in the residential sense there are deeper roots sent down into the sociul soil than rumor credits | Mr. John Foster Dulles, grandson and namesake of the late John W. Foster, eminent author and diploma tist, who resided for so many years in Washington and filled many official has been living in New York | . and since his distant cousin, the n_correspondent, Foster Dulles, now in Gotham writing for some of the famous continental journals, the two have a merry time with their mail. Both belong to the same clubs and have many mutual friends, and part of the morning routine is to com. pare notes on invitations and see what is expected of each, Mr. John Foster Dulles, nephew of Mrs. Robert Lans ing, makes frequent visits to her with | his wife, who was Miss Junet P.} Avery and whom he met in this city. Mr. Allen Dulles, who has made such a brilliant record in the foreign serv ice and was deemed one of the most astute students of the diplomacy of the Near East, recently resigned from the service because of the meager sti pend paid this branch. Living in for- eign lands Is always an expensive af- fair, and living in Washington almost as much so. Mr. and Mrs. Allen Dulles were in Washington for some vears and were important members of the vounger State Department con- tingent. Mrs, Dulles was Miss Clover Todd, niece of the late Admiral Clover and a cousin of Mrs. Thomas Hol- combe and Miss Eudora Clover, long a belle of the Capital, but now ranch. ing on her own responsibility in the San Mendocina Valley in California. Mr. Dulles, after leaving the foreign service, accepted a lucrative post in a_commercial concern of New York which can pay an adequate price for his learning and experience in eastern social and business methods. Lady Muriel Paget, who is sched- uled to make a tour of the United States in order to advocate the cause of the child welfare crusade in Rus. sia, will come to Washington about the middle of February and will re. ceive a cordial welcome from the lo- cal welfare association. She appears to hold a charmed existence in Rus- sia, for since 1919 she has been at the head of the Anzlo-American Hos- pital n Petrograd, and though nearly all of those who began the work as her associates have fallen under the displeasure of the Soviet, she has con. tinued the work unmolested. In the past two years this child welfare work has extended into the adjacent Baltic countries, and Lady Muriel will in- clide a synopsis of this also in her lecture tour. The hospitals founded in Russia at the close of the World War are now under government con- trol, and Lady Murie, though in actual control, is officially only a mem- ber of ‘the board of visitors, but she is free to make changes and to suggest improvements, and as she | holds the purse strings, so far as Eng {lish and American contributions are | concerned, it Is unlikely that she will | be disturbed. Her husband is the present head of the house which has married so frequently into American families, and is Sir Richard Paget. Lady Murici is the daughter of the late Earl of Winchilsea and sister of | the present bearer of the title, Sir Richard Paget is a distinguishe entist and is the grandson of thy Mary Stevens, daughter of | Stevens of New York. who ma { Gen.
