BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. 8§ it should be, the President and Mrs. Hoover will stand forth this week in the social life of the Capital in a manner to leave rich paragraphs for the future pages of social history. They are interested in the German grand opera, which its initial performance tomorrow night, and Tuesday A S x‘i:;;t. they will first dine with the Vice President and his sister, Mrs. Gann, and from the Mayflower, where the dinner is to be given, they will go to the Congressional Club, accompanied by their hosts, where an unusually interesting reception will be held in their honor. THURSDAY night the President and Mrs. Hocver will hold the annual reception in honor of the jud{éiary, but there will be missing from the ranks two of the most distinguished guests—the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and Mrs. Taft, who are observing mourning for the death of Mr. Taft’s brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft | of Cincinnati, who died in that city during the holidays. The judicial circle has grcwn apace with other institutions of the Capital, | and the reception will be a large one. FOLLOWING the dinner given Tuesday night for the President and Mrs. Hoover will come at intervals those with the members of the cabinet as hosts, until some time near the Spring season the Secretary of Labor and Mrs Davis will entertain for them. The Vice President, too, has a full social calendar, and to those who have followed him in all the years of his Washington life it is kncwn that dinner parties and other social events are pleasing to him. He likes to mingle with people. 'WO great events that break in Washington tomorrow night will rob the early hours of many events of their real guests of honor, for, after a dual effort to see and do_everything, some personages | will see the opening performance of William Gillette in his great | presentation of “Sherlock Holmes,” and others, who weeks ago sub- scribed for boxes and seats for the German grand opera and invited uests to accompany them. will have to fill their engagements. For goth the opera and the play at the Naticnel the audiences will be representative of the best in the Capital, and further on in the week | there will be few. conflicting dates for larger events. | —_— | ITH royal meaning are the two entertainments to be given Wednesday evening in celebration of the marriage of his royal highness the Prince of Piedmonte to her royal higness Princess Jose of Belgium. The Ambassador of Belgium and Princess de Ligne 5 are to entertain at dinner for their royal kinswoman, and the Am- | bassador of Italy and Nobil Donna Antoinette de Martino are to give a ball later in the evening to celebrate the great event. The Ambassador of Germany and Frau von Prittzwitz und Gaffron are| entertaining the Speaker of the House and Mrs. Longworth at dinner | on the same evening. i 'HE Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson are hosts and guests ln? turn in the series of formal dinners being.given by them for the | heads of missions and dinners at which the Ambassadors and* Ministers are hosts. EBUTANTES are fast.stepping -out-of the limelight of publicity | and into the staider ranks of society, where they may be num- | bered among guests at stately dinner -parties for dignitaries and | become real factors in Capital society. It has, for the most, | been a successful season for debutantes, few.of them being left with real heartaches, and next season will probably see the last of over- : grown coming-out parties in puble places..

An unusual atmosphere of romance clings about this occasion, as it is a revival of the old-time assem- blies that more than a century ago were attended by the elite of Washington, some of whom were forbears of distin- guished men and women who will dance tomorrow night at the Willard.
