The an- nouncement of the dates for the series of state functions in the White House has altered the plans of many and &en others an opportunity to settle dates for less formal affairs. e selection of the middle of November for the reception to the diplomatic corps is bringing several ambassadors back to this country goner than they had planned. The dean of the diplomatic corps in ‘ashing Sir Esme Howard, Ambassador of Great Britain, is now on the h seas and will be in Washington before another week. Prince de Ligne, representative at this capital of King Albert of the Belgians, also has sailed for this country, several weeks earlier than | anticipated. e advancing of the dates for the White House entertain- ments bids fair to make a busier season than usual. The early en- tertainments also will do away with the “little season,” the few weeks usually preceding the first state function in the White House. Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a dinner to the cabinet the middle of December in a year when Ash Wednesday was as early as it will be in 1929. These early official entertainments may usurp the rights of the “little season,” but they also make a longer and more delight- ful Easter season, when the weather in Washington is at its best. WABHINGTON society is occupied with returning to the Cap- Tl-m National Capital took on an air of the activities of Midwinter last week with the many visiting cbr%y and their families and the members of the Women’s Auxiliary of the National Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church being feted at large and formal reeeptions and dinners. The bishop of this diocese, Right Rev. James E. Freeman as host to the convention, has been the center of these festivities and with his charming wife gave a reception in the Bishop’s House in the Cathedral Close to the visiting bishops and the ladies who accompanied them. Equally delightful was the afternoon re- | ception which Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the Secretary of State, gave in | the Pan-American Union Building for the members of the Women's Augxiliary to the National Council, though the company was many times larger. Quite the most brilliant affairs of the week were the reception Friday evening, given by Bishop and Mrs. Freeman, in the Corcoran Gallery of Art to all the delegates and the ladies who accompanied them, and the large and brilliant dinner party last evening in the Carlton Hotel. This pasty, which was given by the members of the executive committee for the Washington Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, was in honor of Gen. John J. Pershing and the members of his committee who are carrying on a Nation-wide campaign for funds to finish the Cathedral, which has been in the course of con- struction since 1907. The large company included officials of the Government, dignitaries from other sections of the country and many socially prominent citizens. */T'HE CROSS TRIUMPHANT,” a pageant of church history. will be one of the outstanding affairs arranged for the visitors for this week. Two presentations have been arranged, for Friday evening and Saturday afternoon in the Washington Auditorium. Bishop Freeman sponsors the pageant, which is arranged under the personal supervision of many committees, headed by Mrs. James Carroll ¥rezer, chairman: Mrs. Minnigerode Andrews, author, and Mrs. Randolph Keith Forrest, director, E great army of entertainments given annually for charity will i& soon march on the social scene, and there will be card parties, bazaars and dances until Christmas time. One of the benefits Bl'ttmned for early November is a lecture, the proceeds to be divided etween Protestant and Catholic charities. Mr. Lowell Thomas will talk on his observations while he was with Lawrence in Arabia and with Allenby in Palestine, Friday afternoon, November 9, in the Na- tional Theater. The lecture is sponsored by Lady Isabella Howard, Countess Seherr-Thoss and Mrs. Walter R. Tuckerman. THE debutantes this Winter will do much dancing, for in addition to the many private balls to be given for individual buds and the numbers of balls in the aid of charity, there will be a series of cotillons, a recently organized group, arranged by the Washington Bachelors, that plan to establish annual affairs similar to the Balti- more Monday German and the Philade]phia Assembly. The National Capital boasted a “Bachelors’ Cotillon” for many years and until a short time before the World War. Gen. William E. Horton, a member of the older club when he was “Maj.” Horton, is one of the committee which has issued the invitations, and Mr. William Bowie Clark is chairman of the committee.
