Society all Aflutter Over Visit of British Premier And Big “War Carnival” Week Opens With Protracted Hospitality for Vis- itors—Persian Potentate Receiving Homage at Afternoon Reception—-Otl’:er Events. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. UIET reigns in the Capital for a few hours at least after a great flurry of excitement incident to the visit of the Right Hon. James Ramsay MacDonald and his comely daughter, and another lively scene down at the War College, where the Army Relief was bringing to a close its brilliant three-day pro- gram. The prime minister and Miss MacDonald were in the small party that left the White House yesterday afternoon for the Presi- dent’s fishing camp in Virginia. BEFORE their departure Mrs. Hoover had Miss MacDonald with her when she reviewed a lively exhibition of Girl Scout prowess on the south front lawn at the White House. Earlier in the day Miss MacDonald had posed for photographers, and with Lady Isabella Howard, who was her gracious hostess at the British embassy over- night, went to pay her respects to Mrs. Gann, the sister of the Vice President. Though previously arranged, the call was an exceedingly friendly one and lasted longer than do most calls of that nature. . MACDONALD and his daughter will go to the White House again on their return from Virginia and tomorrow there will be both a luncheon and dinner in the mansion, with the President and Mrs. Hoover as hosts. The really great event of the premier’s visit, aside from the White House, of course, will be the reception follow-, ing the dinner Tuesday night at the British embassy. This will give the distinguished visitors an opportunity to meet several hundred members of Washington society, official and otherwise. Asnumber of the Senators and their wives have guests whom they will take with them, thus presenting almost every section of the United States to the visitors. RS. GANN will not resume her official activities for some time yet, | in acceding to pre-arranged little receptions for those who must leave the Capital. Her entire visit in the West was one of triumph. The people of her State came from every section to meet her, and while in Topeka her stay was a continuous ovation. Not only her own State paid her homage, but people came from surrounding States to meet her. She broke mani' engagements to come to Wufflngton to be with her brother during the prime minister’s visit. Soclm had a struggle in dividing its attentions during the week but is charrnlnq e when on the same afternoon that Mrs. Hoover, wife of the Presi- | dent, christened the “Buenos Aires,” the enormous new air liner, at the Naval Air St.tion, Thursday, several thousand enthusiasts were breathlessly watching the re-enactment of the battle of Belleau Wood, with Sergt. York in-action. The Secretary of War and Mrs. Good were with the chief of staff, U. 8. A, and Mrs. Charles P. Summerall, occupying comfortable seats in the grandstand. JPLOMATS whose countries were numbered among the allies watched the sham battle and there were also representatives mthg’re hon: th%csenA\'m;);:x‘”s:yi luncheon and bridge room, steam.: ing h}o‘t“ S s were served from Army kitchens and as the cold wind swept the grounds of the Army War College women wrapped in furs lnf heavy coats sipped coffee from the canteen. TH! fleld at the Naval Air Station, where Mrs. Hoover was sur- “rounded by a large company, was also wind-swept and cold. The First Lady, who without coddllng herself takes no chances, was wrapped about in a heavy coat of black, warmly interlined, and with a huge gray fur collar so well turned up that only the crown of her smnlfeblack felt hat showed above it. There were deep fur cuffs on the coat, too, and she wore a heavy dress and shoes, all of which she needed for comfort that day. OCIETY to the number of a hundred or more will meet this after- S noon at 5 o'clock at the Persian legation, where the Minister, Mirza Davoud Khan Meftah, will present the Maharajah of . Kapurthala, who is making his second visit to the United States to o } his diplomatic and other friends. The entlemen of the leégation Mrs. Colden L‘H. Ruggles, wife of | Se! MRS.
