Washington Society Enjoys Week of Festivities Rarely Calendared for October Welcome to-Admiral Cowan of British Navy Sets Pace—Leading Events of Coming v Winter Foreshadowed. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. TI’!E salute of guns which welcomed Admiral Sir Walter Cowan and his officers of the British ships at the Washington Navy Yard a week ago was the signai for such a festive week as \\'ashm;(pn has seldom known in October. The modest we'come at the White House, the dinner given by the Secretary of the Navy and the con- tinuous entertainment among the British diplomats made the week one of rare importance. RS. COOLIDGE, whose going in and coming out is watched with the keenest interest, attended the first important musical event of the season when Friday afternoon she heard “The Beggar's Opera,” and at another time she visited the new theater on F street. Hundreds of per- sons gathered under dripping skies to see the President and Mrs. Cool- idge at the dedication of the Meade Memorial in the Botanic Garden, and again when standing clad in their “slickers,” they received the dele- gates to the annual convention of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the M. E. Church. MALL parties are entertained informally at the White Heuse, but for the most Mrs. Coolidge confines her activities to her daily routine of walking, driving out occasionally in the big White House limousine and working on her daily mail. No prettier sight could grace the south front grounds of the mansion than that of the First Lady of the Lan¢ walking riskly through the drives with her two beautiful dogs racing after her or tugging at their leashes while she stops to admire the luxuriant growth of scarlet sage in full bloom in a big circular bed on the lawn, or the play of the fountain. EBUTANTES who’ always hold sway during the early part of the season were in evidence at the tea which Mrs. Helen Hagner gave yesterday, and from now until the official season opens they will occupy an important place on the social calendar. It is unfortunate that so many debut parties are held up until December, which will ‘be too overcrowdeg for real brilliancy. F dancing events for the Winter there is no end. Tea dances, dinner 3 dances, private balls, benefit balls and at last something quite original in the grand opera ball to be given at the Mayflower Hotel the night of December 7, _when the artists appearing with the Washington National Opera Co. will*attend the ball in their stage costumes. Others at the ball, or most of the others, will be in fancy dress costume. Mr. McCor- mick-Goodhart is chairman of the floor committee and Miss Evelyn w:'lker, a debutante of the season, is chairman of the debutante com- mittee. E Army dances, which for several seasons have been a great ad- dition to the Winter's program, will be given as usual at the Willard, with the first dance December 2, and other dances January 6, February 10 and April 13. The Navy and Marine Corps dances, which have scored brilliantly through many seasons, will also be.held at the Willard, and beginning with the first, on November 29, will be followed by another on January 4, and the last one on April 20. a few days on special duty with the Reserve Corps. Among the guests were Capt, and Mrs. Thompson, Maj. and Mrs. John H. Hinemon, Maj, and Mrs. Otis K. Sadtler and Capt. Fox. Maj. and Mrs. Prosser have recently moved to the new residence from 2700 Connecticut avenue, and will be at that addrees for the remainder .of Maj. Prosser's detail in the War De- partment. Mr. and Mrs. John G. Wil- lacy, parents of Mrs. Prosser, are ex- pected in Washington shortly for a visit. Honor Dinners Feature In Homes of Officials The Secretary of Labor and Mrs. James J.

The debutante season will formally open Thanksgiving week, and with but a few exceptions the group of charming girls who will be presented to society this Winter. have selected the date for their respective debut arties. The buds number about 35 now, and there is little doubt but that a few more will be added to the ““bou- quet of rosebuds” before the ‘“cur- in" is finally called on the whirl of festivities, A number of the debutantes are continuing their studies and will make their bows during the Thanksgiving or Christmas holidays, which always are held the gayest of seasons for the younger set. This season’s “bouquet of rosebuds” is unusually smart and interesting. and hoasts a cabinet debutante, a senatorial bud, one from the lower house; not less than two young ladies from the diplomatic corps, besides a !number from among the ‘“cave dwell- ers,’” ns wel representatives from the “service” set.
