Delightfully Welcomed—Capital | Society Program of Week Attended BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. URING their two months in the White House the President and Mrs. Hoover have broken all former records for constant and consistent hospitality and yet from day to day they scarcely seem to have an outline or premeditated program. Dinner parties which would generally be thought of the highest offi- cial importance spring up like mushrooms over night and it was late last week that the Ambassador of Belgium and H. H. Princess de Ligne were numbered amcng the dinner guests. Visiting governors were entertained at luncheon and other personages in few or large number were guests. ELDOM are cards of i.ivitation issued far in advance and if the President chooses to invite a member of his cabinet, or some other celebrity he, of course, runs the risk of unwittingly breaking up the dinner party of another host. That feature of life in the Capital, however, is not a new or strange one. Large dinner parties have been left hostless on many occasions when a hurry up invitation arrived from the White House, leaving the individual no alternative | but to appoint a host for his own party. | | OWEVER inconvenient such hospitality may be it nevertheless carries a decided compliment and leaves a delightful program to be recorded. Mrs. Hoover will entertain groups of guests during this | week as she has in the past and both for Tuesday and Wednesday | interesting persons are asked in. It may be possible for Mrs.-Hoover to attend the luncheon at Single Oak tomorrow, when Mrs. Key Pittman, mistress of that delightful home, entertains members of the Senate Ladies Lunch Club 'HERE are always White House guests nowadays, and while society had to bid a temporary good-bye to the circle of relatives of the | ed to Baltimore yesterday and Senator | President and Mrs. Hoover, who came to attend the inaugural on | March 4, others arrive from day to day. Just now they have as a guest a former Washington newspaper woman, Mrs. William Brown | Maloney, editor of the Herald-Tribune Magazine, before her marriage, | i\{lss Marie Mattingly, who started her professional career on a local aper. 'HE Vice President, who claims Washington residents en masse as | his friends is also a much sought for guest and tomorrow night with his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, he will be guest at dinner at the Mayflower of Representative and Mrs. Henry Clay Ransley. Mrs. Gann, like Mrs. Hoover, has the con- stant demand on her hands to meet groups of visitors from various | parts of the country while she is always accessible to her friends| made in many years of residence in Washington. ROUPS of interesting women called to the Capital by conventions are constantly arriving, and never a convention leaves without the delegates carrying away with them delightful memories of the social side of life here. The Board of the National Women’s Trade Union opening here tomorrow calls for a visit to the White House as a part of the day’s program, and Tuesday Mrs. James F. Curtis will entertain the delegates at tea. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the Governor of New York, who interests herself in the league, is also in Washington and preparing to make a trip through Virginia | to visit Colonial gardens. ASPLENDID program of outdoor events awaits society if only the ‘A weather permits, and paramount are the two horse shows. the | ljttle one next Saturday and the big National Capital Horse Show at Bradley Farms. May 16-17-18, with a snappy ball and hunt break- | fast as the largest socfal affair of the latter event. Following out the line of informality laid down for the Spring season, the ball will be as informal and colorful as it is possible for a ball to be. Mrs. Gann, sister and hostess of Vice President Curtis, will head the re- ceiving line. HE Congressional Club has arranged an interesting Spring pro- | gram, which carries several innovations, foremost of which is State receptions. Michigan will hold the boards Friday afternoon of this week when a gifted woman of the State, Mrs. William F. Mc- Knight of Grand Rapids, will give the program.
