ENT started off at a lively pace this season, the days since Ash Wednesday ushered in the period of sackcloth and ashes being | filled with interesting social events, quite as large and as im- | posing as were affairs of the pre-lenten season. The official set has so outgrown the program usual from the opening to the close of Congress that it is impossible to confine the social roster | to that period. week will be rich in social events with the President and Mrs. Coolidge dining with the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Hoover, Tuesday night. and the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes starting the week of gay social life by dining with Representative and Mrs. James M. Beck of Pennsylvania, while one of the most interesting dinner parties in store for them is that arranged for March 8. with the Ambassador of Spain and Senora de Padilla as hosts. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg are giving a large dinner at the Pan-American Union Building, March 3. This event requires great courage, for a dinner party, even at the White House curing the closing days of Congress is apt to be disappointing since | all the congressional guests may be eliminated by a night session. | 'OTHING could be prettier than the Spring luncheon parties with the flower ladened tables surrounded by wemen in their dainty Epring frocks and hats, and tomorrow Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose, who is spending some time at the Mayflower will entertain for Mrs. | Edward Terry Sanford and Mrs. Harian Fiske Stone of the Supreme | Court circle, and Tuesday night Mrs. Loose will give a dinner in| honor of the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Jardine, when the | guests will include many of their mutual official friends from the Middle West. | HE congressiona! women living at the Roosevelt—and there are | a number of the older hotels, who make a specialty of enter- taining the members of Congress during the sessions—was a gay | place during last week and the week before; Mrs. Lindley H.
