Social Schedule Reopened By Return to White House Of President and First Lady Dinner to Diplomats Thursday in Place of House Reception—Diplomats Lending Color to Season's Entertaining. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HE return of the President and Mrs. Hoover to the White House gives back to the Capital its rightful interest at this season, l and, except for some necessary changes, the official social program will be resumed. With little more than two weeks before Ash Wednesday and the ensuing 40 days of sackcloth and ashes, hosts who religiously observe the sacred period will have a lively time in bringing their engagements and obligations to a close. HE President and Mrs. Hoover are scheduled for a cabinet dinner Tuesday and for each successive Tuesday for several weeks, and ‘Thursday night of this week they will themselves be hosts, enter- taining at their deferred diplomatic dinner. The reception to the Lower House, planned for Thursday night, has been postponed to some future day, not yet announced. THE calendar is brilliant with events planned by the members of the diplomatic corps, and last evening the Ambassador of Great Britain and Lady Isabella Howard were given their final opgonumty to bid adieu to a large circle of friends at the musicale at the Cana- dian legation, where they are guests. Seldom in its history has Washington so reluctantly bid good-by to diplomats as to Sir Esme and Lady Isabella Howard. UITE the most unusual entertainment offered by a diplomat since @ former Persian Minister gave a dinner a la Persian in honor of Miss Margaret Wilson, when the host and guests all sat tailor fashion on rugs, with the viands spread upon the floor, was the reception held by the Minister of China and Mme. Wu in the Ward- man Park Theater Friday night. THEY had issued cards of a formal nature, asking several hundred guests to the pretty theater to see Mr. Mei Lan-Fang, foremost actor of China, in several acts of a play, and, not to transgress the binding contract under which the artist goes to New York, the event was made altogether social. The hosts—not the guest of honor, who appeared only on the stage—stood at the foot of the stairway leading into the theater and were received just as they would have been in the legation. ! SEVmAL cabinet members and their ladies were guests of the Sec- | retary of Interior and Mrs. Wilbur, having with them their son and daughter-in-law, and some of the Ambassadors and many of the Ministers and other diplomats, with persons from private society, attended. Most attractive were the beautiful Chinese girls, the daughter of the Minister and Mme. Wu and the daughter of the! Chinese Ambassador to Mexico, who acted as ushers, quite after the fashion in American theaters, and seated the fuests‘ Their garments were almost as rich as those worn by the illustrious actor and his cast. In fact, while but a small portion of the audience understood | the lines of the play, the wonderful acting, the delivery of the lines and the magnificent costuming all lent a charm never seen in an American theater before. ‘THE spirit of the unusual was the dinner which Mr. Faik Konitza, qummer of Albania, gave last night in a historic setting, enter- taining a dozen guests in the great Colonial kitchen of Brooke Manor, | Sandy Spring. This part of the manor house was built in 1727, nnd’ its wide open fireplaces, beamed ceiling, broad oak floor and flagged hearth make it exceedingly attractive, and it is there that many of the diplomats take their smaller and more friendly parties, - THE Speaker and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth will celebrate their twenty-fourth wedding: anniversary tomorrow, an event that the older members of Washington society recall with keen interest. Theirs was the largest and most beautifully arranged wedding ever | to take place in the White House, and it was an occasion of happiness and good will the world over. Since that day Mr. and Mrs. Long- worth have never ceased to be the center of interest in the Capital, and their coming and going is recorded with almost as much interest row as then.

When the Minister from Colombia, now the President-elect of that country, Dr. Enrique Olaya, returns to Was| ington early in March, he will be re- ceived with acclaim and as much hospitality will be lavished on him as his leisure will permit. He is now in Bogota attending to imperative duties pertaining to his cxalted office, but he will start on his journey North at the earliest moment. The Pan-American Union will honor him in a special way, for although many Latin American diplomats who served in Washington have reached the highest office in the ft of their people, Dr. Olaya is the t member of the governing board to be elected Chief Executive while serving in that capacity. 'He represents his country on the board and for sev- eral terms he was vice chairman, the Secretary of State being by courtesy the chairman. But until the President- elect announces his plans definitely no arrangements for entertainments ~will be made.
