President and First Lady Give Breakfast to. Honor Graf Zeppelin Commander Dr. Eckener White House Guest Friday——Argen- tine Ambassador in Role of Host. Gay Season Foreshadowed. HE social season in Washington during the Winter of 1928-29 l will be unusually gay if the week just closed is a forerunner. Plans so far made for the gayeties of the coming season indi- cate a daily calendar filled with parties from dawn to night. President and Mrs. Coolidge gave their first party since their return #rom Wisconsin when they entertained Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, at breakfast Friday. It was an 8 o'clock break- fast and not a midday party, which is the popular form of Sunday entertainment through the Winter. Dr. Eckener and those brave companions who made the aerial crossing from Germany with him spent a busy day in Washington, and were feted at luncheon, an afternoon reception and at dinner, Lady Hay Drummond-Hay, the only woman passenger aboard the Graf Zeppelin, sharing in several of the parties. Frau Kiep, wife of the charge d’affaires of Germany, gave a charming “dove” dinner for Lady Drummond-Hay Friday evening, while Dr. Eckener and the gentlemen who came to Wash- ington with him were feted by Dr. Kiep. ! The new Ambassador of Argentina, Dr. Malbran, gave his first party since coming to this post, when he entertained the officers and cadets of the Argentine training ship, Presidente Sarmiento. Only gentlemen were invited, as Senora de Malbran has remained in Ar- gentina while her children are in school. Their “Summer” vacation will not begin until about Thanksgiving time, when they will come to this country. THROUGH the closing months of an administration Washington society is usually occupied with the discussion of where the retiring officials will live after the Fourth of March. The wish to keep the outgoing President and his wife has never been more universal than this year, for there has seldom been a more gracious hostess in the Executive Mansion than Mrs. Coolidge, who has won the admira- tion—even affection—of all those who see her frequently about Washington and those who are more fortunate as to meet her per- sonally. There are few of the present official family expected to remain in Washington permanently. Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg are said to have taken a house in California, near Santa Barbara, for the early Spring, and the Secretary of Labor and Mrs. James J. Davis purchased the house on Massachusetts avenue which they have occupied for a year or more, giving a promise of future residence. Postmaster General and Mrs. New have become permanent residents of Edgemoor, Md., since establishing themselves in the charming home, Hemlock Hedge, which they bought several years ago. Of the others, only two, the Secretary of War and the At- torney General, occupy homes, the others living in hotels or apart- ments. HE two-day stay of Lady Astor in the National Capital was quite A as busy as the visit of the German flyers, except that Lady Astor was among old friends and acquaintances, and those from the con- tinent were on “alien s0il.” Lady Astor and her daughter came to this country to visit in the former’s old home in Virginia, where, as Miss Nancy Langhorne, she was a belle during her young ladyhood. Lady Astor was entertained informally in Washington by old friends, and a large luncheon was given in her honor by the International Association of Police Women, of which Mrs. Mina Van Winkle is president. Lady England. Spencer-Churchill is another distinguished guest from She came here en route from the convention of the American Legion in Texas, having attended that convention as resident of the Women’s Auxiliary of the British Legion. Lady gpencer-churchill is being entertained extensively during her visit, Mrs. Frederick E. McCormick-Goodhart giving a tea in her honor Friday afternoon. - Mrs. McCormick-Goodhart was a McCormick of Chicago and is the mother of Mr. Leander McCormick-Goodhart, commercial secretary of the British embassy. The party was given in her beautiful estate, Langley Park, at Chillum, Md. 'OREIGN visitors are not always “strangers within our gates” nor mere acquaintances, and the prospective visit of Baroness de Cartier, wife of the Belgian Ambassador to the Court of St. James, will be welcomed by many warm friends made by her when Baron de Cartier was Ambassador of Belgium at Washington. The baroness is now in Paris, where she is selecting furnishings for the embassy in London, the Ambassador’s present post, and will come here later in the Autumn to be the guest of Mrs. Richard H. Townsend in her home on Massachusetts avenue. Baroness de Cartier will be much feted during her stay in the National Capital. THE Corcoran Gallery of Art will take its place in the social 4 schedule of Washington this week with the reception Saturday evening for the Sixth Exhibition of Contemporary American Oil Paintings. These receptions in the Corcoran Gallery are attended by officials as well as members of the art colony in Washington, mak- ing them brilliant outstanding affairs of the early seasop. THE announcement of the engagement of Miss Florence Fazio Keyes, daughter of Maj. and Mrs. Edward A. Keyes, to Mr. William Bradley Willard, son of Mrs. Willard and the late Mr. Henry Kellogg Willard, is of more than usual interest in Washington, where the families of the young people have lived for several generations. Miss Keyes is the great-granddaughter of Mr. Fazio, who was com- missioned by Congress to purchase the first books for the Library of Congress. Mr. Willard-is a grandson of the late Mr. and Mrs. Fenry A. Willard, prominent in Washington residential circles for many years. Miss Keyes and Mr. Willard have set no date for their wmarriage.

Ambassador Debuchi Of Japan Is Awaiting Official Recognition Distinguished Diplomat Is Firm Believer in Capital's School System. The question for the moment of con- suming interest to the newly appointed Ambassador of Japan, M. Katsuji Debu- chi, and Mme. Debuchi is to which of the several high schools at their com- mand they shall send young Masure, their son, who is 16 and had completed the four years’ course in the National High School in Tokio, and their daughter, Takako, who is 14 and had finished her first or freshman year in !the same institution. The Ambassador, like many of his predecessors at the Washington mission is a firm believer in the public school system of the Capital and he desires his son to at- tend one gear or perhaps two years be= fore entering college. Both Masura and Takako speak English perfectly and will no doubt pass with ease the examina- tions necessary. M. Debuchi is the tenth Ambassador sent to this Capital from Tokio and he will rank with the distinguished men who have preceded him. Japan raised her legation to an embassy in 1906 and Viscount Aoki, who had been Minister, became the first Ambassador. With few exceptions all the higher dipiomats had served in Washington in a minor capac- ity before they reached the exalted rank, notably M. Uchida and M. Hanihara, who had spent years in Wash- ington during the early part of their careers.
