President and Mrs. Hoover Planning for an Early Visit To Rapidan Fishing Camp First Lady Returns From Brief Trip to the Moun- tain Resort—British Ambassador Formally Presents Credentials. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. RS. HOOVER rejoined the President at the White House last evening.after a hurried visit to their fishing camp in Vir- ginia, and probably the President will find time to visit the camp with gar at the end of this week. There is a real lure in the mountains just now, and, with plenty of fireplaces to ward off the chill, damp air, camping is ideal. PBEXDENT HOO! received Sir Ronald Lindsay early in the week, and when he presented his credentials, he was accom- nied by seven or eight members of the embassy staff, the ceremony g:mg most imposing. Mrs. Hoover will probably hold audience for Lady Lindsay immediately after the period of official mourning expires. Sir Ronald occupying the chancellory at the old British embassy for his working hours; and he and Lady Lindsay, while | living at the Mayflower, will use the drawing rooms and ball room of | the old embassy on many occasions until the new embassy is ready for them. LADY LINDSAY is fast winning the hearts of Washington residents with her frank, smiling demeanor and, being the only American hostess with her rank in the diplomatic corps, is certain to be a tavorite. She is as enthusiastic as a girl over the possibilities of the new embassy out Massachusetts avenue, and especially the vast gardens, with a topography that admits of terraces, pools, flower gardens and what not in the way of landscaping. THE arrival in Washington of Dr. Hugo Eckener, the German inventor, who was accompanied by his wife and son, gave occa- sion for one of the most imposing ceremonies ever held by the National Geographic Society. The scene in the Washington Audi- torium the night Dr. Eckener received the special gold medal of honor from the hands of Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of the| society, was past description in its importance and dignity. While | the thousan! of spectators listened to Dr. Eckener’s important paper, all eyes were turned upon the box where Frau Eckener sat as the guest of Mrs. Grosvenor. Beside her was Frau von Prittwitz und Gaffron, the handsome wife of the Ambassador, and also in the box with Mrs. Grosvenor were Frau Kicg and others of the embassy staff. UT this was not the only glimpse Washingtonians and officlals B had of the great inventor and Frau Eckener, for they paid a brief visit to the Congressional Club Friday afternoon while the regular weekly program was in progresy and where Gutzon Borglum also was a visitor. Dr. Eckener was followed by admiring groups wherever he went about the Capital, and nothing could have been more typical of the simplicity of his greatness than when he stopped his car as he drove around Dupont Circle and bought an armful of gay blossoms from a hand cart parked at the curbing. PARTICULARLY sprightly dancing event of Easter Monday night | A will be the Junior Bachelors’ ball at the Willard, when the younger men of society will initiate a dancing organization of their ‘own, with a young matron or so to act as chaperons, and the entire event—favors and all—bespeaking the season, as well as the ra- tion acting as hosts. To be sure of a firm foundation on wt build the Junior Bachelors, the list of members has been most care- fully culled from old Washington society, with the addition, of course,; of both bachelors and maidens from official and diplomatic circles. NOTHER dancing event of Easter Monday night will be the Bal A Masque at the Congressional Country Club, for which elaborate preparations are being made; and that the non-dancing element may enjoy the evening also, Dr. Leo S. Rowe has issued invitations for a rogram by the United Service Orchestra and assisting artists in the an-American Building at 9 o'clock. —— Col. Cooper to Entertain At Musicale and Tea Col. Wade H.
