Society HoldsOutgoingand Incoming Administrations As Worthy of High Esteem Cordial Greet;ngs Await President and Mrs. Hoover as Acceptable Successors to | i | Their Honored Predecessors. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE temperament of Washington society just now is like an | April day, made up of sunshine for the incoming administra- | T tion and misty, heartfelt regret at losing from the White | House those who have played hosts to the Nation for cighlf years, first in the secondary position and then as chief representa- | tives of the American people. Many beautiful tributes have been and} are being paid the President and Mrs. Coolidge, who have endeared | themselves to the country as have few other occupants of the man- | sion. However, they would ask nothing more earnestly than that the same generous and kindly feeling be shown to their successors.{ 'OMORROW there will come into the White House new hosts and | be it said for Washington, that the same generous welcome, the | same hospitable feeling and the same real liking are shown for each | tenant of the historic house regardless of politics or religion. A{ happy coincidence is that for years past there have come to reside‘ in the White House but few families who have not previously made | Washington their home and are well known here. | S o i SELDOM if ever before has there been such a delightful exchange | of hospitality between an outgoing and incoming administration, f not only the President and the Executive family showing this spirit | one for the other, but diplomats and society in general exhibit a | wish to happily speed the parting rulers as they welcome the m—! coming powers. The Mistress of the White House. always seemsi near the hearts of the American women, and Mrs. Hoover, who will assume her duties tomorrow, will undoubtedly still further endear ! herself to the residents of the Capital. | Yy oL w000 Harris & EWNC—~ MRS.

ASHINGTON always bo;fié ln gala spirit at inaugural times takes away much of the sorrow of parting and just now there is in| progress a mad rush to entertain the important visitors to the Capital. Governors of States and their ladies are being feted ‘today and this hospitable trend will continue until the last train load of distinguished guests departs for the four corners of the country. ‘Too, it is giving the hundreds of Washington residents engaged here with the Government an opportunity to meet, through the! State societies, the governors of their States and other importanu persons who accompany them here. Seldom if ever before has the | real importance of State organizations in the District been felt so directly. Official Residents Helping to Entertain e 5 Q f‘ : & |New Senate Memb.
