SOCIETY. SOCIETY President and Mrs. Hoover -Hosts at White House Dinner Tomorrow Night for President-Elect Rubio. HE President and Mrs. Hoover will entertain at dinner tomor- row night for President-ewct Ortiz Rubio of Mexico. Last night the President and Mrs. Hoover had an old-fashioned Christmas celebration which would have done credit to Colonial days and part | of it pointed a moral that is good for this too progressive age in Christmas celebration. The dinner which preceded the real party had as guests the cabinet mem- bers and their wives now in the Capital and the younger members of their fam- ilies. It was an old-fashioned Christ mas dinner with all of the goodies sup- plied and none of the traditions missing. Greeting - the guests was a huge Christmas tree in the great marble en- trance hall which bespoke the celebra- tions of early American days, and the resourcefulness of hosts of that time. ‘There were old-fashioned cornucopias of silver and gold paper, horns of plenty, popcorn ropes and balls, apples, oranges, paper dolls and all of the simpler things that thrilled the hearts of children a hundred years ago. In the state dining room, where the dinner was served, was a genuine, up- to-date Christmas tree, gleaming under dozens of electrically lighted candles, yards of tinsel, bushels of glistening colored balls and all the attractive con- ceits known to the manufacturers’ art. Both trees had a Santa Claus, and each bore its generous burden of gifts.

There are always many things you want about the house or apartment which are not apparent to your friends here @r far away.
