Jardine, presented to society at a tea Christmas eve. Harris & Ewing. Variety of Notable Events Scheduledfor New Year Day of Interest to Social Set BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE galaxy and the grandeur of New Year day will not be wholly missing Tuesday, for while.tht President has thought it best for many reasons to break over the tradition established in 1801 when President and Mrs. Adams held the first New Year| day reception in the White House—using the oval living room of the President’s family, the chamber immediately over the blue room, in which to receive foreign and other guests—there will be many other ints of vantage from which Washington, official, diplomatic and P: general, may be viewed. TH‘E Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg will hold their annual New Year day breakfast with the diplomatic corps as their guests in the Pan-American Building, and this is an event more concretely brilliant than even the President’s annual diplomatic reception, for only the Ambassadors and Ministers and their suites, higher officials and a few society folk will be there. WITH illness in the families of fully half the members of the diplo- matic corps, the President’s reception would lose much of its dazzling high light, even were he here to give it. This inroad of illness will also tell in the numbers attending the diplomatic break- | fast, though the exposure will be far less in the home of the Americas than in the White House. ECAUSE of illness, absence or for other reasons most of the cabinet homes will be closed for the day to all except. more intimate {riends, but the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur, who some time ago arranged to hold their New Year day reception for officials and the officers of the Navy and Marine Corps in and near Wash- ington, will carry out their plans. The Vice President and Mrs. Dawes will not return from their Western home to open their doors for the day, but the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Mrs. Taft, the chief of staff of the Army and the chief of staff of the Navy will keep open house, and to a certain extent there will be a revival of the open door in many private homes. T}m Congressional Club which has made for itself an enviable place in the official social life of Washington will open the doors of its beautiful clubhouse Tuesday to its members and friends. January 1 will mark the beginning of the club’s more formal social program for the season, and February 4 is the day chosen for the annual Con- gressional Club breakfast, with Mrs. Coolidge as the guest of honor, January 31, there will be given an evening reception for the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes, and between now and the closing of Con- gress there is scarcely a day when the clubhouse will be without its retinue of visitors and interesting programs. HEN Mrs. Coolidge celebrates her birthday anniversary January 3, it will be the signal for a flood of letters, telegrams and gifts to be sent to the White House, but there will likely be no further celebration than a small family party. The following Sunday Mrs. Charles Gates Dawes will celebrate her natal day, and the nearest approach to other than a similarly simple celebration will be the dinner party the Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard will give for Mr. and Mrs. Dawes on the following day. EDNESDAY will mark the bcgi;fing of the cabinet women's offi- cial days at home, and they will observe the Wednesday after- noons for receiving throughout January. REVIEW of the social history of Washington for 1928 bears evi- dence of the good will of all other countries to our own in the constant exchange of the visits of the mighty which have made of the Capital a panorama of unsurpassed brilliancy. Unlike the un- turned pages of history of a hundred years ago, newspapers, journals and magazines of today all register the pulse of prosperity and good will, and the social reporter, the recorder of the exchange of courtesies between the peoples of the world taking place in the boundaries of the District of Columbia, furnish archives to which future generations may safely revert.

Harrls & Eving, Impressive Pageant New Year Day Feature At Hall of Americas Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg to Be Breakfast Hosts for Members of Diplomatic Corps. Although several important transfers in the diplomatic corps have been ac- complished or are impending, the bril- liant concourse which will congregate on New Year morning to accept the hospitalit, of the Secretary of State and Mis. Kellogg in the Hall of the Americas shows an astonishing lack of change. Even the Grim Reaper, so active in all other official divisions of the Capital, has spared the strang>r within the gates. Reactions from changing cabinets in alien lands have been lacking in the resident corps, and a more perceptible stability is apparent than at any time since the reconstruc- rw)n of Europe began after the World ar. Sir Esme Howard, British Ambassa- dor and dean of the corps, will for the second time lead the brilliant coterie of 700 diplomats and their ladies, but this year not at the White House, as well as at the breakfast tendered by the Secretary of e and Mrs. Kel (Continuedon Third Page.) , Classif ied Advertfiisfiiflng MISS NANICE TURNER BE!
