Mrs. Hoover Given Praise For Her Skillful Solution Of Recent Society Problem Her "Two-in-One" Plan for State Affairs Proves Success—Important Events of the Week Listed. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. [LE Washington society puzzled its brain over the lagging social program at the White House, a power with a better thinking mind than all the members of the smart body combined quietly arranged the matter, and to the satisfac- tion of every one. Mrs. Hoover's “two-in-one” plan, followed out in the case of diplomats, when both the dinner and reception were given in one evening, proved one of the most brilliant successes of the administration. The reception to the members of the House of Representatives, fixed for Thursday night, was shifted to this week, and instead the state dinner to the diplomats was given that night, and, to shorten matters, a musicale followed which took the Place of the regular diplomatic reception always scheduled to come a week later than the dinner. Now every one is wondering why this was not thought of before, for the plan worked to perfection. This “two-in-one” event gave Mrs. Hoover a busy week, for she attended several concerts and was a guest Tuesday at the Senate | Ladies’ Lunch Club. At one of the concerts she wore a very becom- ing black velvet gown and a not too small black velvet hat. She clearly showed the benefit of her Southern vacation. TUF.SDAY Mrs. Hoover will be guest of honor at the annual Con- gressional Club breakfast, and lending additional interest to the brilliant affair will be the presence of Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, the new first lady of the Supreme Court; and Mrs. Gann, sister of the Vice President, will also be a guest at the breakfast, Mrs. Porter H. Dale, president of the Congressional Club, will preside. President Hoover has an interesting date ahead in the dinner to be given for him at the Willard Hotel March 8 bl‘; the White House correspondents, with Mr. George Durne arranging the details. NEXT Saturday evening Constitution Hall, which has already had an enviable, if brief, history since its o ning a few weeks ago, will house one of the most distinguished audiences to be gotten under one roof when the National High School Orchestra, representing every State in the Union, gives its elaborate program. Senator and concert in Washington, the most important stop of the company Mrs. Arthur H. Vandenberg of Grand Rapids, who are promoting the while en route to other points, will have the thrill of seeing and hearing their young daughter, Miss Elizabeth Vandenberg, as pianist. No’r only have the Senators and Representatives from the various States responded to the invitation, but the diplomats and per- sons in official and unofficial ranks, especially the music lovers, have responded to the invitation to this unique concert. A CONCERT with an entirely local meaning is that to be given in Constitution Hall Friday evening at 8:30 o'clock, underethe auspices of the-Women’s Guild of the Children’s Emergency Home of the Central Union Mission, when James Melton, tenor, and the A Ct:rpelll Chorus, with Ruby. Stahl director, will give a benefit recital for the home. Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, Mrs, Arthur Mas- tick Hyde, Mrs. Hiram Bingham, Mrs. Wesley Jones, Mrs. Morris Sheppard, Mrs. Arthur Vandenberg and many others of official and unofficial circles are patrons and will entertain guests. NOTHING ever affords society more thrills than the Society Horse Show frequently staged by the Washington Riding and Hunt Club, and one of the largest and most elaborate shows yet planned is to be éfiven Saturday afternoon for the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines’ Club. The service club house, a roomy old mansion on Massachusetts nue at Eleventh street, has become the favorite retreat and recreational %Ant for service men when in Washington, MRS.
