Important Receptions a{hd Other Functions BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HILE there is no great rush of social entertaining in the Capital just now the little season is being introduced with a well balanced program and after the reconvening of Congress April 15, with many new members of Congress arriving, life will assume a much livelier pace. Full days attend the President and Mrs. Hoover at the White House 2nd in the light of events since March 4, it is clear to see that the First Lady’s interests are in making young people happy. She has received a number of grcéupg '?f ‘students as well as distinguished guests, principally from out of own. IT is decidedly refreshing to find Mrs. Hoover evincing just as much interest in the local life of Washington as when the President was at the head of the Focd Administration and through her days as a cabinet hostess. Every season, and many times a season, she has visited the drive about the basin and along the Potomac to see tr2 cherry blossoms in full beauty and not to interrupt her custom, sue drove her own car through the park last week just as she has dene all through her official days in Washington. MRS. HOOVER also attended the pan-American concert .early in the week, taking her White House ¥uests with her. She is fond of music and certainly no more beautiful glace for entertaining could be found than the Pan-American Union Building. Mrs. Hoover wore a simple but very becoming evening gown of tomato red chiffon, the drapery of the material forming its chief charm. VICE PRESIDENT CURTIS and his official hostess—his sister— Mrs. Gann, will hold one of the most important receptions of the week when on Friday afternoon—diplomatic day—they receive the members of the diplomatic corps, headed by the dean, Sir Esme Howard, and Lady Isabella Howard.
