F Emmem—— HARRIS & EWING= Capital Society Awaiting Seaso}x,g( of Great Activity With Many Rare Features Biggest Progr.m Washington Has Known Under Present Administration Forecast—Important Events to Precede Christmas Listed. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. LANS are rapidly being made for the biggest season Washington has known in the present administration and with a better planned pro- gram than usual. Perhaps there is a notion that much entertaining gives an idea of prosperity in the country, as in fact it does, and that makes it a fine political play. However, be that as it may, dates are piling up earlier, social secretaries are getting busy, and .‘(here is ‘a keen lookout for the list of state entertainments soon to be issued from the ‘White House, RS. COOLIDGE and her secretary are spending part of each morning talking over plans, and this season, as in former years since M‘r!. Coolidge became the mistress of the mansion, the schedule will open with the annual dinner to the cabinet early in December, so that at least two other entertainments—the diplomatic reception and the diplomatic dinner— may be given before Christmas, when Congress takes a recess. Last season the program of receptions and dinners was issued from the White House September 30. THE old custom of diplomats hastening to the Capital to receive the President on his return from a vacation seems to be obsolete, for just now the British Ambassador, Sir Esme Howard, is returning, while the Chief Executive has been in the White House for two weeks. However, the Ambassador has not been so robust and has tarried on the North Shore longer than usual. he embassy is in readiness and Sir Esme and Lady Isabella Howard are expected to arrive there the first of the week. The commercial counselor of the embassy—and commercial counselors are now looked upon as the most important members of the staff of either an embassy or legation—Sir John Joyce and Lady Broderick already have come from the North Shore and have taken possession of a furnished | house at Rhode Island avenue and Seventeenth street, almost across the avenue from the home of Gifford Pinchot, former Governor of Penn- sylvanla, OTHER diplomats are returning from Summer resorts or from trips abroad, and when they are all assembled the many changes in the corps within a twelvemonth will be quite perceptible. The Minister of China and Mme. Sze, who had their sons with them during the Summer, have come from the Blue Ridge Mountains, where they had a_cottage, nd are at the legation, on Nineteenth street, The Minister of Haiti, Mr. :[anwibal Price, is back from a visit to his own country, and again he boasts of the great similarity in architecture of the White House in Wash- ington and the President’s house in Port au Prince. ASHINGTON will stage, as a close to this week, one of the largest and most brilliant carn. —or, as it is more aptly termed, military ex- position—Washington has ever seen. The Army War College grounds will be used, and everything, irom a cake and a cup of tea to a tank in full force, will be enjoyed. craft, water craft and almost every known im- plement of warfare will be in e the very mild side-show is the garden party, with flags floating from every pos- ible point of vantage, m ng and all the features of a -ring circus in action . Summerall, wife of the chief of staff, United States Arr tite, conceived the exposition and garden party as a ben for the Army Relief Society, and she has associated with her the wives of the heads of each branch of the service, who, in turn, selected their own committee. Even “hot dogs” and ham- burgers will be served piping hot from Army rolling kitchens, with debu- tantes and society girls, dressed as maids, doing the serving. ant hotels will show groups of pretty girls, s Hilda Ann Hill, a debutante of last sea- leville show connected with the Army 30 and October 1.
