Monday, with the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg as hosts, there were only a few who had not followed the custom. There were perhaps at this breakfast more men in morning or business suits than ever before at a party with as much importance and formality. It seems £o sensible and comfortable a irend of style for men in the National Cap- jtal, who really, in many cases, are far too busy to hucry and worry #hout formal dress, to be able to go from office to an afternoon party in their business attire and not be out of place or appear conspicuous. Varying from the tradit'onal “Flossy” afternoon gown, the older women appear at teas in more tailored costumes. Hats, handbags, gloves and other accessories are given quite as much attention and thought. in this generation, as the gown. Many new and intriguing notes were added to the midwinter mode.

February 13 Attractive Program Chal- | lenges Socicty Interest and Is Sponsored by Large | List of Notables. Already ensconced in a niche of unequaled social recognition, the Washington National Opera bids fair to outstrip its extraordjnary record as a magnet of soclally important Wash- | ington, and set another high mark for soclally brilliant audiences when the curtain rises on the first performance of the forthcoming international grand opera festival in Poli's Theater, Mon- day night, February 13. Prince de Ligne, cousin of the King of the Belgians and Ambassador of Belgium, one of the sponsors of the tnternational festival, will launch what is expected to be an important series of soclal functions in connection with the opera. A reception in honor of the sponsors {of the festival will be given by Prince de Ligne on one of the evenings left free during the festival. The date of the reception has not been definitely fixed, nor is the Invitation list com- plete, but it is certain the reception will be one of the most important and interesting of the season. Others of the Ambassadors among the sponsors also aré planning affairs in honor of the occasion, and their associated nsors and announce- ments probably will be forthcoming soon so0 that society generally may have ample time to arrange its com- ings and goings to permit the elect to attend the functions. The soclal prestige of the opera— for despite whatever visiting: come panies may pay us a trapsient call for this or that reason the Washi “the opera”—was established some time back and its lists of patrons and patronesses had so truly become an indice of the elect of the Nation that seemingly lttle could be added to the brilliance of the near side of th;‘mruln at the opera. . jow, however, the seemingly im- poseible has been chlcndn. Under the sponsorship of the Ambassadors of five of the great world powers and a group of important and powerful Americans, the forthcoming interna- tional festival seems destined to he- come the most important public social For, beyond peradventure, the in. terest of the sponsoring Ambassadors {and Americans in much deeper than {4 mere lending of their names. Kach emnbansy is closely concerned with the { success of the productions which will represent the art of its nation in the festival and certainly will not neglect those performances. Nor, for that matter, can they ignore the repre. sentations of their sister nations if for no other reason than that neglect begets neglect. Much less can they neglect the opening American opera, the offering of the hostess country.
