Capital Society Welcomes Reopening of White House As Center of Official Life President and Mrs. Coolidge Expected in Wash- ington Tonight—Qutline of Future Activ- ities—Brilliant Season Forseen. “ ¢ 5w BYSSAEALJE V. H. PICKETT. v HEN President and Mrs. Coolidge are in the-White House Wash- ington feels that it has again come into its own. It is wonderful nership the voteless citizepp:feelin the Executive and the First Lady of the Land;"an things seem without them. Ow unna hiaf 1 Truly, they are the hub around which all so- eial, as well as palitical, life revolves and whether the occupants of the are very socially inclined or not,. it is for them, Nation’ stelr : lation’s el o 4 the Capital turning. #nd for them alone, to set the social wheels of ROM their very entrance into the White House toni_ght unl{l .!l:ley again F feave for a vacation, there will be a constant inpouring of visiting cards, «for it is the inalienable duty of every person, §oc121|y or politically inclined, iwho wish the shightest recognition from the inmates to drop by and leave eards. It is from these emblems of society that the list for the coming season is culled and through which invitations to the mansion are issued. 4Mrs. Coolidge has made Washington and the White House her home for ‘80 long that she has no uncertain qualms on the routine duties of the First Lady. ,IT is a wise arrangement that admits of the President and his lady finding their official home open to receive them and to.truly find a house {igj order. They have only to take off their hats in the White House and <qut to living there once more, for the employes who have had years of lexperience in caring.for a President’s household know almost better than ¢ hosts themselves how to conveniently arrange things. Flowers will et them as they enter the house and will deck the rooms and even the monplace matter of marketing was attended to yesterday with just m:_ things in the larder as best please the master of the house. ot ‘N FTER greeting the members of the cabinet and their ladies, most all i&X of whom are here to welcome the President, the first reception will 'be that to the diplomats. Not such a formidable event, to be sure, as the official diplomatic reception later in the reason, but a more intimate itélcome to the corps, with the President’s wife as hostess. So impor- tant is this custom considered that Mrs. Theodote Roosevelt held such a reception on entering the White House as its mistress even before the official mourning period for President McKinley had expired. HE season will undoubtedly be a full and brilliant one, with a number {4 of new homes open to society, such as that of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman int, who are to make Washington their future Winter headquarters, :and the charming new home of Dr. and Mrs. Vernon Kellogg. . The more ‘important houses for lease and those best adapted to social purposes are filling up with families long accustofned to the more elegant side of ‘social life in other cities, and several flew embassy and legation homes will be opened for the first time. 0. better index of what is to be expected of the social season can be found than in the wardrobes brought from Paris and London by society women who revel in beautiful and costly costumes, That Queen /Mary is a friendly ene to the ostrich is shown in the befeathered gowns and frocks ready to be flaunted in drawing rooms during the official ‘season. Feathers on everything—where there is ‘not fur. The rage for ostrich plumage was shown in the Queen’s drawing rooms, when «the prescribed costumes for those presented at court not only called for the traditional tips to be worn in the hair, but for ostrich-fedther fans with long sweeping plumage. ROPITIOUSLY setting the wheels turning will be the President’s Cup regatta September, 16-17, off Hains Point. There is the President’s magnificent gold cup to bring the fastest speedboats into the Potomac, and the world-famous Dodge Memorial Trophy—a ship in full sail and so much prettier to look at than a mere cup—and the Secretary of the ‘Navy Cup to lure yachtsmen. The Corinthian Yacht Club is arranging ‘comfortable accommodation in Potomac Park along the water course for at least 75,000 or perhaps 100,000 persons. The best possible support should be given by Washington residents annually to give to the Capital this reat spectacle for in location our Capital offers the best site in the world for speedboat racing and other water carnivals. NEXT on the program for the Autumn season will be the great Army Re- fief Carnival to be staged Saturday, October 1, at the Washington ‘Barracks. This affair enlisted every branch of the service with Gen. Charlés P. Summerall, chief of staff, at the head, and with Mrs. Summerall working out all the plans and continuing down the line with the chemical warfare under Gen. Amos A. Fries putting on some lurid spectacles. The show will begin early in the day and last until 12 o'clock. Supper parties fand dances will engage the younger element of society, and there will be some rivalry in the suppers as the Cavalry, Infantry and Coast Artillery are each engaged in putting on suppers. The exccutive committee for the carnival includes Gen. Ireland, Gen, Cheatham, Gen, Allen and Gen. Rockenback, while Mrs. Charles P. Summerail will have as her aids, wives of many of the higher officers of the Army. The other guests Included Senator Former Senator Dial Willlam E.

Senora Isidra de Melendez of San Balvador, who will spend the Win- ter in Washington as the guest of her son, attache of the legation of Salvador, and his wife, Senora de Melendez, is one of the most brilliant pianists of Latin America, and it will be a great privilege to hear her if her health is sufficiently restored to per- mit her to play in public. She has been suffering from a rheumatic trouble which attacked her right armi and a finger of her right hand, and she was ordered by her physician to take a long rest, not to practice on the beloved instrument, and generally to amuse herself. This talented lady comes from one of Salvador's historic families. Her husband, Dr. Daniel R. Melendez, is a noted physician of his country, and studled both at the National Univer- sity and later at the College of Medi- cine in Guatemala. He became dean of the medical department of the Uni. versity at San Salvador, and after giving up the practice of medicine was elected a member of the Senate, Senora de Melendez’ grandfather, Fermin Palaclos, was president of the republic in 1854. Her mother also belonged to an anclent family, and was Ethelvita Herrara. Senora de Melendez, who arrived in ‘Washington about 10 days ago, has been a student of music since her earliest years. So devoted was she to her lessons and her practice on the plano that at the early age of 10 and 11 she had gained a wide reputation among the music lovers of San Sal- vador, and she was greatly in demand to play at musicals and social func- tions. When she was barely 11 she was invited by the President of Sal- vador to play for his guests at a large formal reception given in the palace. She studied most diligently from her early girlhood, and as soon as she U. Fletcher, Representative Richard Yates, Admiral W. 8. Benson, forme: Senator Oscar W. Underwood, foi mer Gov. Robert A.

Society to Greet Many Buds During Coming-Out Season Praspective List-‘Represents Cabinet and Senate Ciicles, 'and Includes Host From Other Ranks, Forming Brilliant Bouquet. With a cabinet, a senatorial debu- tante and not less than two young ladies from the diplomatic circles com- bined with a number from among the “Cave Dwellers" as well as representa- tives from the ''Service” set, promised to Washington's “bouquet of rose- buds” this" Winter, thé season bids fair to vie with the smartest and most brilliant of ‘“coming-out” years. For many seasons worthy charities have, accredited much of their suc- cess to the. work of the buds, and this year will not find them lacking in ehthusiasm to do their “bit.” Already @& number in the ranks have expressed their. desire to really ‘‘do something, and several who have been “em- ployed” during the Summer will con- tinue their work .throughout their “budding” season. ‘The Washington debutante is usual- 1y far behind her sister buds of other cities in selecting and announcing her debut parties, and with but little ex- ception there has been no varying from the rule.. A few have selected and announced their dates, but even these are subject to change, when conflicting with plans definitely made and not as yet announced. The Becretary of War and Mrs. Dwight F. Davis announced the date for the debut of their daughter, Miss Adice Brooks Davis, before Mrs. Davis and her daughter sailed to spend the Summer abroad and this date in all probability will hold fast. The affair will be a dance at the home of Sec- retary, and Mrs. Davis, December 23. Mrs. Davis and the bud are expeeted to return to this country about Sep- tember 28. A debutante from a foreign embassy ever causes a flutter in the debutante set, and the coming of the newly ap- pointed- Ambassador- of Belgium and Princess de Ligne, with their charm- ing - daughter, Princess Elizabeth de Ligne, who is about debutante age, is looked forward to with. keen interest by the younger set. Princess Eliza- beth. has been presented at court in Brussels and at Queen Wilhelmena's capital, and while no word of a for- mal debut in Washington has been an- nounced from the embassy, the young princess will likely figure.in a number of functions for the native buds. The acting counselor’ of the British embassy and Mrs. Henry Getty Chil- ton have a daughter, Miss Betty Chil- ton, who is of debutante but no official announcement has been made by her .parents, whe are remaining through September at the Summer embassy in Manchester. Another prospective bud in the diplomatic set ig Signorina Thedoria Catalani, nfece of the second counselor of the Italian , embassy, Signor Giuseppe Catalani. Signor and Signora de Catalani, and the latter's mother, Mrs.: Henry F. Dimock, will entertain feor her during the season. The senatorial pud is Miss Bina Day Deneen, daughter of Senator and Mrs. Charles. 8. Deneen of Illinols. No date has been named for her formal debut, but it.is certain she will make her bow this Winter, probably during the holiday season. Miss Deneen was a student at Bryn Mawr last year and was a frequent visitor in Wash- ington, where her parents had an apartment at the Mayflower Hotel. She has a host of friends in the younger set. . The Navy bud is Miss TImogen Taylor, daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. David W. Taylor, who will make her formal bow December 28 at a tea. Another bud of interest in military circles is Miss Frances Hill, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. Phijlips Hill. Miss Hill is the n of Mrs. George Bar- nett, wife of the war-time commandant pf the United States Marine Corps, and no doubt Mrse. Barnett will take bher under her wing, and the large number of close friends of Mrs. Bar- nett will' take turn about in feting this charming young lady. The bud has a brother, Cadet Arthur S. Hill, who now {s attending the Naval Academy, and an elder brother, Ensign C. Phillips Hill, graduated from the Academy last June, who will return to Washington for the holidays. One of the most brilllant of debu- tante functioris will be the ball given by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brett Noyes, December- 18, for their niece, Miss Janet Newbold, daughter of Mr. and AMrs. Fleming Newbold, who will in- troduce her to society this season. Miss Eyelyn Walker, daughter of Mr. and 's.” Harold- Walker, who has just: returned with her mother from a long. stay in Europe, will be presented to soclety this season. Miss ‘Walker.has ‘been attending school in Parjs, and later was.. nted to the court of St. James. ' She remained in London quite some time, taking an active part in the festivities for the younger set of the famous old British capital, where she mingled with many of the titled folk of England and made many friends.” Practically all of Miss Walker's debutante wardrobe has been procured from fashionable modistes in Paris, and she will no doubt be one of the most strikingly gowned buds of the season. She will make her debut at a tea, and many small and exclusive parties will be given in her honor. The Thanksgiving eve bud will be Miss Ellen Peelle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stanton C. Peelle, who will present her at a tea at their home in Chevy Chase. Miss Peelle has just re- turned from the North Shore, where she spent the month of August. Mr, and Mrs. Charles Howell Le- fevre will present their daughter, Miss Hester Anne Lefevre, to society at a tea November 29, and December 29 they will be hosts at a large dance for her. Miss Jeannett Hume, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rawlins Hume, will not have a formal debut party, but will entertain at a debutante luncheon December 1, and a number of small parties will be given throughout the season for her by her parents and her grandmother. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Henry will introduce their daughter, Miss Ade. laide Henry, at a tea Wednesday, December 21. Miss Florence Wetherill will be pre- sented by her mother, Mrs; F. H. Mistretta, probably at a tea during the holiday period. Another bud is Miss Rebecca David- son, who will make her bow at a tea given by her mother, Mrs. John Davidson. iiaacas Church Wedding Listed ; At Rockville Thursday The marriage of Miss Anita Phillips Smith, daughter of Mrs. Anita V.
