Society Facing Busy Period Despite Lent Restrictions And Canceled Festivities Among Chief Events of Season Is Party UndexWay in Home of Vice President Curtis. House BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. UTHFULLY speaking, Washington is quite a busy city socially, regardless of Lent and official mourning, and in addition to the wholesome informal hospitality—black-tie informality-— constantly meted out, an almost unprecedented number of society affairs are planned to immediately follow Easter Sunday. Sodnl' obligations must be paid, and after many interruptions the debt still hanging over society, in the way of dinners especially, is indeed heavy. HOWEV!:R, many large events were canceled during the week, and the Minister of Persia, Mirza Davoud Khan Meftah, who had arranged to give his annual celebration of the Persian New Year with a reception to several hundred guests Friday, recalled invita- tions and instead went to New York, where, with the Persian colony in that city, he celebratéd in an unofficial manner. This reception in Washington always is looked forward to with great pleasure by the hundreds of friends of the Minister, one of the Capital’s favorite diplomats. VXCE PRESIDENT CURTIS and his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Gann, have one of the most interesting house parties entertained here in a long time. Curtis and Thompson Knight, who| are, with their mother, Mrs. Webster Knight, guests of their grand- | father at the Mayflower, are so up to date that thely plan all of their | sightseeing trips themselves, and yesterday they selected Mount Ver- | Mrs. Gann, who never tires of her great arty, and with them were Mrs. cP her two children, also guests of non for an all-day outing. nephews and nieces, escorted the Gerry, a friend of Mrs. Knight, an the Vice President. ON’E of the trips the Knight boys have planned is a bus ride all over Washingtin. This mode of conveyance is new to them, and they like a bus quite as well as they do the big limousine with the United States coat of arms on the dcors allotted to their grandfather by the Government. Another mode of travel which holds the Knight boys fascinated is the subway at the Capitol, and they plan to spend a good deal of time on this short line, with their grandfather, the Vice President, acting as engineer. HE Ambassador of Great Britain, Sir Ronald Lindsay, accom- T panied by Lady Lindsay, came to Washington late in the week and will have leisure time to meet old friends unofficially while his excellency awaits the day and hour for presenting his credentials to President Hoover. Seldom has a diplomat come to the Capital under such auspicious circumstances, and seldom has society more warmly welcomed the new chatelaine of an embassy. Already Sir Ronald and his wholesome ‘smile and warmth of greeting and Lady Lindsay and her little dog Sundae are familiar figures both in and out of the Mayflower, where they will probably remain until the new em- bassy is ready for occupancy. THE Minister of Albania, Mr. Konitza, will have guests at dinner tomorrow evening in compliment to the newly appointed United States Minister to Albania, Mr. Herman Bernstein, and Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose and others are entertaining what they term informal parties during the week. Some of the most interesting, if informal, dinner and luncheon parties given last week were for the Ambassador of Belgium and his daughter, her highness Princess Helene de Ligne, who sailed for Europe late in the week and will join her highness Princess de Ligne and other members of the family who have been abroad for some weeks. A GALA event is staged to take place at Fort Myer Saturday after- noon and evening, making the post the meeting place for all branches of society. The program is sufficiently varied to please per- sons of any age or taste and ranges from a medieval pageant at the o] ig, progressing to a fancy drill in the riding hall, where the program K:c‘ludeu all sorts of fantastic and difficult feats and a two- ring circus, and after it is all over there will be dancing. The Capital whl’lf be practically emptied of society folk—those to take part and those tollook on; and if the day is fair, the hall will be crowded to ov ng. tulip garden.
