Capital Society Rapidly Completing its Calendar For Coming Winter Season Announcement of Dates for State Functions at White House Signal for General Activity in All Circles. FFICIAL society in the National Capital is completing plans for the fast approaching season and the announcement of the dates for the State functions in the White House will be the signal for many other hosts to select dates for their festivities. Hostesses in official circles and many of the residential ~set” have awaited the announcement from the Chief Executive and First Lady of the Land before arranging their own entertainments. Only the debutantes are immune from this, and they have a world all their own for the few weeks before the first of the year. President and Mrs. Hoover have made several radical changes in the time-honored State entertainments. The most important of these is the dinner to the Vice President, which appears in the | schedule for the first time. Other additions to the list of formal State functions are the reception to the members of the Senate and the reception to the membets of the House of Representatives. These will take the place of the uncomfortably large reception to the Con- gress, a feature of other years. Other innovations on the schedule are receptions in honcr of the other executive departments of the Government in addition to that for the Army and Navy. The State {funetions in the White House this season will number 14, where for- ma there were only 9. These changes are all for the greater comfort of the guests and give the officials of this Government a better opportunity to meet the Chief Executive and First Lady of the Land. Social life in Washington has grown to such proportions in the last quarter of a century that radical changes have been necessary in many things.

Mrs. Stimson, wife of the Secretary of State, and the other & 3 cabinet hostesses will be at home Wednesday afternoons throughout the season, with the exception of Christmas, which falls on Wednes- | day this year, The observance of at home days through the greater | part of the season makes a more informal atmosphere than one or two recegt\on days, for there are apt to be fewer callers'at a time. There has been little disPMiLion to make changes in the ac- cepted “days” of the various circles which make up society in Wash- ington. A few now and then, have accepted the “day” observed in the neighborhood in which they have resided rather than the day prescribed by the circle in which their position placed them. The wives of the Supreme Court Justices observe Monday afternoons, though they seldom announce it in advance; Tuesday is the “at home” day for those in the Lower House; Wednesday the recep- § tion for the Vice President’s hostess, those of the cabinet circle and Octobe r—Consp:cuous the Speaker.
