BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE idea of helping along the early season in Washington seems ] to strike society in a very general way, and private residents as well as officials are adding brilliant features for filling in the program before Christmas. ‘Two sets of invitations in- cluded in the list of state functions have been issued from the White House, those to the cabinet dinner to be given Thursday evening, and cards for the diplomatic reception November 15. TH!: President and Mrs. Coolidge attended the wedding of Princess Ida Cantacuzene, and Mr. John C. Hanbury-Williams in St. John’s Church, Thursday, at high noon. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg, the Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard, the Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft, and other notables were in adjacent pews. From every standpoint the wedding was the most beautifully arranged of any nuptial event to take place in Washington in many years. . Next in interest to the bride, who is a pet of Washington society, as well as having the best of American lineage back of her, was her small niece, little Princess Irana, the daughter of Prince Michael and Princess Cantacuzene of Chicago. She was flower girl. MRS.‘ KELLOGG is adding to the brilliancy of the early season, and while she is not yet ready to make official announcement of her formal schedule of entertainment, she will be hostess at a dinner dance in the Pan-American Building the evening -of Satur- day, November 17, in honor of her niece, Miss Laura Frances Ottis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Francis J. Ottis of St. Paul. Miss Ottis will arrive here the first of next week and many invitations await her. SOCIETY likes to be turned into diversified channels, and yesterday the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Jardine were hosts at a g{leltmlnary showing of chrysanthemums preceding the opening of e annual exhibition in the B street hothouses to the public today. Mrs. Coolidge arrived early and was charming in a street costume of burgundy red, the coat suit of homespun and the hat, shoes and gloves corresponding in color. Mrs. Jardine wore a taupe street suit with accessories to correspond. Mrs. Kellogg and the few other cabinet and Supreme Court ladies also were guests, as were many of the diplomatic corps. Mme. Peter, Mme. Varela and her lovely young daughter, Mlle. Varela, wife and daughter of the minister of Uruguay; Mme. Sze and her fascinating children, Assistant Secre- tary and Mrs. ‘Finney, Rear Admiral and Mrs. Hughes, Assistant Secretary of State and Mrs. William R. Castle, Mrs. Borah, Mme. Panaretoff and Mme. Prime, and others, to the number of more than a hundred, greeted Mrs. Jardine and admired the blossoms. MR.S. JAMES J. DAVIS, the dean of cabinet women, her husband having assumed his duties of Secretary of Labor in the Harding cabinet, will entertain the members of the Women’s National Press Club at tea Friday afternoon, when she will be assisted by her five children. The young “Jays” in the Secretary’s family, each child having a name that begins with the letter J, donned their Halloween costumes, as scary as could be, and went over to call on Mrs. Cool- idge, who entertains them on goblin night and at Christmas times. ADY ISABELLA HOWARD, who has generously given of her time and money to the various charities of Washington from the very first days of her residence here, entertained at a tea at the embassy Friday afternoon-for the committee of sponsors, of which she is chairman, promoting the success of the lecture to be given at the National Theater Friday afternoon by Lowell Thomas, who will give his experiences as the only American observer with Col. Lawrence in Arabia’and- with Gen. Allenby in Palestine, the proceeds to be divided between Protestant and Catholic charities, OCIETY folk face a new ‘and interesting feature in philanthropic work in Washington, “The Thrift Shop,” it is to be called, and all of the detafls of the interesting institution will be discussed and put under way Tuesday afternoon when representatives from the four groups to be benefited will meet at the home of Mrs. George Hewitt Myers, at 2310 S street. “The Thrift Shop” will take the form of a permanent rummage sale—that is, all the goods to be sold will be culled from my lady’s top drawer and closets and attics. The board members of the four institutions with Mrs. John Allan Dougherty will be the leading spirits at Mrs. Myers’ meeting. OF the old established group of hardy annual entertainments the Navy relief ball, with Mrs. Coolidge as its chief sponsor, stands at the head. This is the regular Thanksgiving night benefit ball and has exempted that night with only one or two exceptions for many years. It is the drawing card at the Willard on that night and the debutantes and other young members of society will patron- ize it as well as lend their efforts for its success. THE night preceding the Navy relief ball the annual ball for the benefit of the Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital will take place at the Willard Hotel. This event gives many of the younger members of society an opportunity to brush up on larger balls before the Winter rush of dancing events. Miss Lalla Lynn and Miss Elizabeth Dunlap are in charge of the group of debutantes. Mrs. Faber Stevenson is in charge of the arrangements and will be as- =isted by Mrs. Watson Freeman Clark, Mrs. Walter Harrison, Mrs. Mopris Hackey, Mis. David Meads Lee and Mrs. Lewis Mackall, & SOCIETY SECTION he Sunday Star. WASHINGTON, D. C, SUNDAY RN o _— MRS.. HARRY S. Wife of the Postmaster General, who is visiting in Indiana. New Lithuanian Envoy Arrives in Capital To Take Up Duties M. Balutis, Recently Ap- pointed Minister, Classed Among Most Able Law- yers of His Home Country. M. Boris Kasimir Balutis, the new minister of Lithuania, who was named to succeed M. Kasys Bizaukas, came to Washington about 10 days ago and was received by President Coolidge Friday. M. Balutis comes directly from Kaunas, where he was secretary gen- eral of the foreign office, or holding a post corresponding to under- secretary of state. Mme. Balutis will not join the minister until next Spring. She is residing in the home in Kaunas, the Lithuanian capital, and the only child, Ada, who is just 12, has entered the high school. Mme. Balutis, before her marriage, which occurred in 1910, was Miss Mary Rechen, a native of the romantic part of Lithuania which borders on the Baltic Sea. She has never been to this country, but her husband is entirely at home in his new sphere of action. A M. Balutis, who is‘a native of Seiri~ jai in the northern part of Lithuania, is one of his country’s most astute lawyers and one of his first duties will be to untangle the snarl into which the Lithuanian Government has cn- countered in obtaining the title and the extraterritorial - rights to the legation on Sixteenth street. The ownership of this handsome property has already become the subject of local litigation, and M. Balutis hopes to end this trouble with dignity to his government and to the satisfaction of Mrs. John B, Henderson, who had owned the man- sion when the former minister, M. Bizaukas, began negotiations for the purchase. ‘The new envoy was educated in the schools of his h ity and (Continued Fifth Page) At Homes Announced By Army College Folk The commandant of the Army War College and Mrs. William D.
