Lenten Quiet Noted in City Following Strenuous Days Of the Inaugural Period President and Mrs. Hoover Calmly Take Up Rou- tine at Executive Mansion and Society Is Somewhat Inactive. OCIETY in Washington settled down, the middle of the week, to real Lenten quiet, after a few days of very strenuous festivity 4 in connection with the inaugural ceremonies. The President ana Mrs. Hoover have taken up the thread of official life without apparent effort, the daily routine of the Executive Mansion continuin; almost without break. Mrs. Hoover has received small groups o women several times since moving to the White House, and she attended a concert the middle of the week. She has, of course, many things yet to do before they become “settled.” The charming home on S street which as Secretary of Com- merce and Mrs. Hoover, the new Chief Executive and First Lady of the Land, occupied has been leased to Senator Walcott, who will take possession the first of next month. Meanwhile Mrs. Hoover’s uncle, Mr. Henry, and her sister, Mrs. Large, are remaining there to | assist in the disposition of the many rare and beautiful gifts which were showered on “Mr. and Mrs. Hoover” during their recent visit in South and Central American countries. Many of these will follow President and Mrs. Hoover to the White House, others will be packed away for future use, and not a few will be left in the S street home with other furnishings. THE first reception of a formal nature which President and Mrs. Hoover have planned is that tomorrow afternoon when they will receive the heads of foreign missions accredited to this country, their wives, and the officers next in rank in the staffs of the embassies and legations, and their wives. Of the 14 ambassadors at this post only one embassy is without an ambassador, and of the 40 legations established in Washington 11 are without ministers, and unless the newly-arrived Minister of the Irish Free State presents his credentials tomorrow morning the number will be 12. THE members of the new cabinet are busy getting established. Several of them are house hunting and others have found temporary residences in hotel or apartment. The newly agpoimed Secretary of State ane Mrs. Stimson are not expected to reach Wash- ington before the efd of the month, and Secretary and Mrs. Kellogg will remain here until they arrive. They have given up their house on Nineteenth street and are in an apartment in the Mayflower. Miss Gertrude Lamont, daughter of the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Robert P. Lamont. has been spoken of as a possible debutante next season or the season following. Miss Carolyn Hyde, daughter of the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs.-Arthur M. Hyde, the only other “cabinet girl,” has also been mentioned, although she is a student in the junior class of the Trenton, Mo., High School. Miss Hyde wishes to follow her father as an orator and already has entered the cratorical contest in her State, expecting to at least compete in the national contest to be held here this Spring. | THE constant change in Washington society was shown last week i in the departure of the Minister of Guatemala and Senora de Recinos, who have been here little more than a year, and the arrival MRS.
