BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. higher ranks of official society disrupted all its social plans last week in deference to former President Taft; and with din- ner parties and other forms of entertainment called off, Ash Wednesday—March 5—will find many with congested calen- dars confronting them. The Vice President recalled invitations for the dinner he was to give tomorrow night, and even many unofficial hosts who were close to Mr. and Mrs. Taft personally canceled all of their social engagements. THI Congressional Club breakfast in honor of Mrs. Hoover shot across the otherwise gray social atmosphere of the week like a of beautiful sunlight. The breakfast was one of the most delight- fully arranged events ever given by the club. While the decorations for the most part were such Spring flowers as are found in Wuhh.xr- ton at this season, there was a wealth of forsythia from the Glendale, Calif., home of Representative and Mrs. William E. Evans. IN KEEPING with the general joyousness of the breakfast was the ":{nmnnce of Rudy Vallee, a sweet singer, and his Connecticut i Orchestra. He came from the home town of Mrs. Porter H. Dale in Connecticut and in deference to his little-boy memcries of Mrs. Dale broke all engagements to play for the First Lady of the Land. His shyness and his admiration for Mrs. Hoover when he went to meet her at the close of the breakfast was truly interesting, and later he went to the White House to meet the President. He autographed beautiful big photographs for the president of the club and the members of the board and committee and then for the young congressional girls who had served as ushers at the break- fast. Vallee’s book, “Vagabond Dreams Come True,” will be off the press tomorrow, and it is pretty certain to find a place on every drawing room table in Washington. 'I‘BB most interesting place in Washington this afternoon will be the Arts Club, where a tea is being given for Sir Archibald and Lady Flower, and several other British visitors will be present. Sel- dom has the Capital had more delightful visitors than these British guests, and those athirst for Shakespeare literature have greatly profited. King George of England is chief sponsor for the Stratford- on-Avon Company, and md:fl the Minister of Canada and Mrs. Massey will entertain informally at lunch for Sir Archibald and his wife and daughter. FDOW!:RS and gifts were sent and even some persons journeyed to Boston last week to attend the reception which Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns gave on their fiftleth wedding anniversary. All during the Coolidge administration Mr. and Mrs. Stearns were a part of the ?res!dennu household, and they have hundreds of friends in the Capital. They were married at Amherst while Mrs. Stearns’ father, Col. William 8. Clark, was professor of chemistry there. Mr. Stearns is a graduate of Amherst in the class of 1878.
