BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. . OTWITHSTANDING the various social clouds which it is contended aie hanging cver Washington and are expected | to break full force with the opening of the season in| December, never has there been as elaborate a program map- out so far ahead as for the Winter of 1929-30. Looking forward to mothers are rushing plans for introducing their debutante housewives who rule the fashionable world are arranging their wardrobes, their homes and their social calenders with great procision, and not in many years has a cabinet been so well housed as that of President Hoover. | THE White House is already laying its plans for the usual events of | the Winter's official social schedule, and in appointing White | House military, naval and Marine aids has taken a mest importami step. There is no greater ornament to State ceremonies at the White | House than these aides and often they are of real use. For many years | one or two aides sufficed for the President, but when Mr. Roosevelt | came in, with his love of the glamorcus side of military life, he added the largest staff the mansion had ever accommodated. Nor has the list grown ‘less since that time, most every President maintaining the number rather religiously. e | THE general custom in sclecting these ornamental officers, who never | appear at the White House except in full-dress uniform and with sword, is to seck detached or unmarried men, and while Lieut.| Col. Campbell B. Hodges, Infantry, is a single man, his naval aide, Capt. Allen Buchanan, is married, and with Mrs. Buchanan has an apartment at Meridian Mansions, out Sixteenth street. One trouble is that an aide can take no family burdens with him to the White House, and if a wife attends a reception she has to look after herself. ped 1, daughters, T ECAUSE of the great distinction being a White House aide carries, )" the men are selected with consummate care. From the Army the aides are Maj. Raymond E. McQuillin, United States Cavalry; Maj. John M. Eager, Field Artillery; First Lieut. John E. Upston, Air Corps; First Lieut. Don E. Lowry, Quartermaster Corps; First Lieut. Hugh B. Waddell, Cavalry; First Lieut. Edward H. Young, Infantry, and Segond Lieut. Charles E Saltzman. From the Navy are Lieut Comdr. Aléxander Macomb, Naval Intelligence; Lieut Comdr. John E. Obtrander, Bureau of Aeronautics; Lieut. Kenneth M. Hoeffel, Naval rations; Lieut. Llewellyn J. Johns and Lieut. William E. G. Erskine, Bureau of Navigation. From the Marine Corps, the officers with by far the most ornamental unifcrms, there are Capt. R. L. Montague and Capt. John Halla. There is an effort to distribute this unique patronage throughout the States. EWS from fashionable resorts has a decidedly local tang, and from Saratoga Springs, where the races are on and many Washing- tonians have taken quarters for their duration, to Newport, where Brig. Gen. Charles L. McCawley, to be retired from the Marine Corps August 24, and Mr. Leander McCormick-Goodhart are on the com- mittee for the annual Navy ball, and on to the North Shore, where Washington society is reveling in outdoor sports, the names are but duplicates of those entering into the Capital’s social program from December to June. N the large group of Senators remaining in Washington and adding _a delightful bit to Summer hospitality is Senator James Couzens, who, with Mrs. Couzens, bought Villa Rosa, a charming pink stucco | house far out Massachusetts avenue, in the vicinity of the Charles C. | Glover home, Westover, and the American University. Villa Rosa is! back from the highway and is entered by a broad drive, horseshoe | in shape, the extreme curve ending at the front door. Flowers in! splendid luxuriance border the drive, rich in_ coloring and so big and handsome as to show the care of a skilled gardener. However, the front of the house is the least of its attractions, for there is a broad terrace at the back, sccluded and overgrown with myriads of roms—that is where the place gets its name—and all of the enter- taining is' done there. Political caucuses can be held while guests enjoy the view over the rose garden and away to Washington. Mrs. Couzens and her daughters are there, too. 9 3.
