Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Kellogg were able to discuss at length the subject of diplomatic breakfast and were interested in all the proceedings. ‘The Vice President-elect, Senator Charles Curtis, and his sister, Mrs. Ed- ward Everett Gann, were among the early arrivals and an unusually large number of other Senators were present. ‘The entire delegation attending the Pan-American Conference were guests and added greatly to the charm of the occasion. The former Ambassador of Peru to Washington and Mme. de Pezet held a constant reception, starting with their greeting by the hosts and continuing all through the hours of the reception. They were favorites in Washington so- ciety during their residence here and both Dr. Pezet and his dainty little wife in her becoming costume of blue velvet were constantly surrounded by friends of former years. They came to Wash- ington especially to attend the break- fast and returned to New York today. The former Minister of Bulgaria and Mme. Panaretoff and Senora de Sanchez Latour, widow of the late Minister of Guatemala, who make their homes in ‘Washington, were also among the large number of guests. Among the members from the Senate committee on foreign relations were Senator Arthur Capper, Senator and Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, Senator and Mrs. Thomas F. Bayard and Mrs. Willlam E. Borah; Senator Theodore E. Burton and his niece, Miss Grace Burton, were also there; Repre- sentative Stephen G.

Mrs. Kellogg wore a becoming gown of garnet color velvet fashioned after the newest mode with effective drapery on the skirt, the long waist effect of the bodice showing a becoming round neck line and long sleeves with pointed cuffs. “The small hat of felt and velvet was ex- ceedingly becoming and across her should- ers she wore a fox fur. She carried a small bag of metal embroidery with gold mounting and wore white gloves. Just back of the hosts was arranged a screen of palms, ferns and Christmas greens.

Evans Hughes, and Mrs. Hughes and their daughters were guests, as were many of the delegates attending the Pan-American Conference, of which Mr. Hughes is chairman. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft stood in one of the drawing rooms to receive, Mrs. Taft wearing & costume of gray metal cloth, and in line with them were Mrs. Willis Van Devanter, Mrs. Louls Dembitz Brandeis, Mrs. George Sutherland, Mrs. Pierce Butler, Mrs. Edward Terry Sanford and Mrs. Harlan F. Stone, wives of the associate justices of the Supreme Court. Mrs. Frederick Johnson Manning, formerly Miss Helen Taft, who made her debut at the White House while her father was President and who presided over many of the social affairs there during the illness of her mother, is a guest of her parents for some days, and assisted all during the afternoon. Contrasting vividly with the gloomy weather without, the whole entertain- ment suite was gay with flowers, a huge centerpiece of deep rose pink flowers occupying the center of the tea table where a group of Mrs. Taft's friends presided. Among the many autographed photo- graphs of famous persons viewed with interest by the several hundred visitors was that’ of Queen Mary of England, while other interesting pictures and ieces of bric-a-brac and furniture col- ected by the Chief Justice and Mrs. Taft during their many trips about the world afforded additional topics of con- versation, All of the Ambassadors and Ministers and a few of the lesser dip- lomats who attended the breakfast in the Pan-American Union Building were callers and a number of the older offi- cers and their wives who paid their annual New Year day call upon Jus- tice and Mrs. Taft when he was Sec- retary of War and again as President, holding his first of the year receptions, were visitors, ‘The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur, the only other cabinet mem- bers besides the Secretary of State and Mrs. Kellogg receiving yesterday, held their reception in the "large drawing room on. the second floor of Conti- ental Hall, and many hundreds of guests were welcomed by them.

This ar- Tangement of placing the musicians in the patio instead of in the Hall of the Americas, where the guests were enter- tained at the buffet breakfast, was one of the many thoughts of Mrs. Kellogg for the comfort of the guests, for while the music floated to the floor above and was heard effectively in the lofty chamber where guests assembled, it also admitted of comfortable conversation. After the guests were received, Secre- tary Kellogg set in the hall of flags with various groups of guests and talked animatedly, while Mrs. Kellogg went from group to group and visited with them. The tables from which the break- fast was served and the smaller tables at either end of the room showed huge clusters of poinsettias. The menu for 1206 GEE ST.
