Coming Season Is Foreseen As Most Brilliant Period In History of U.S. Capital Mrs. Coolidge Expectcd to Announce Her Social Program Early in the Autumn—Conspicuous EVC]’I‘S s:hedulcd. HE coming season in the Nation’s Capital bids fair to be the busiest and one of the most brilliant in the history of this seat of government. Dates have been set and announced for num- bers of charity affairs and debutante parties, while the more Mcial entertainments will be held in abeyance for the schedule of state functions in the White House. Mrs. Coolidge, always consid- srate of others, makes her plans as soon as possible in the Autumn and has them announced early in October, so that others may make ‘heir plans and not have their lists of guests depleted by invitations from the Chief Executive and First Lady of the Land. The matter of state dinners and state receptions will be among the first of Mrs. Coolidge’s duties on her return from New England within the week. The business of selecting dates for parties that they may not zonflict with other entertainments is well planned and organized in other large communities. The New York social calendar has become s0 crowded in late years that debutantes make their bows during the early Autumn. In former years in Washington the first debut parties came on Thanksgiving day, but this year the round of presen- tation teas will begin much earlier in the month. SE are the days of the Autumn bride, and from now until the Tflghanksgiving season is past the social calendars will be filled with weddings and pre-nuptial entertainments. Among the most nteresting of the early Autumn weddings was that Wednesday eve- aing of Miss Emilie Darneille Steele, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rich- ard C. Steele, and Mr. John Dudley Keith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Keith of Maysville, Ky. The bride is the first in many generations f her mother’s family not to be married in Linthicum Place, the Seorgetown home of Mrs. Steele’s great-grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. 3rooke Williams, the latter before her marriage being Miss Harriet Jarry. The bride’s parents were the last and fourth generation of :he family to be married in that home. ; i & Linthicum House was the scene of the marriage of Miss Harriet Beall Williams, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Brooke Williams, who married M. de Bodisco, then Russian Minister to Washington. The bride, a great beauty, was given in marriage by Henry Clay, and her bride’smaid, Miss Jessie Benton, was escorted by no less a person than James Buchanan. Not unlike the bride of Wednesday, Mme. de Bodisco’s marriage robes were of white satin brocade, with which she xore a veil of Honiton lace, her only ornament being a “sprig of oear.s made into a brooch.” Her bridegroom was in his court dress of blue trimmed with silver lace of great depth, and he wore his decorations of several orders set with precious stones. Mme. de 3o0disco, as the intimate friend of Harriet Lane, niece of President Bucl;an'an reigned through many Washington seasons as the most Amport.am' hostess in the diplomatic corps. She became an equally important figure in other capitals when her husband was transferred n later yearg. After she became a widow she married Gen.

Princess Ida was among the debu- tantes of last season and followed in the footsteps of her sister, Princess Bertha Cantacuzene, now Mrs. Bruce Smith, who made many friends during her debut year and those few seasons until she married and moved to Kentucky.
