Important Society Events | Scheduled for the Capital At End of Mourning Period Formalities in Welcome of British Ambassador and Lady Lindsay Among Feature Attrac- tions—Round of Entertaining. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ITH the expiration of official mourning for the late President Taft Tuesday, society will rapidly drift back into its normal state of brilliancy, regardiess of the intervening days before Easter Sunday. There is an accumulation of official social obligations which almost clog the wheels of Washington's social structure, and it is probable that activity will begin at once. THERE are the formalities attendant upon the arrival of the new British Ambassador and Lady Lindsay, many of which must await the return of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson. A din- ner at the Mexican embassy is arranged by the dean of the corps and Senora de Tellez to take place Wednesday, the Minister of Switzerland and Mme. Peter will entertain on the same evening, and the Secretary of War and Mrs. Hurley will be guests at a dinner to be given by Maj. Gen. and Mrs. Stephen O. Fuqua. THE Ambassador of Brazil has arranged a dinner party for Satur- day evening, and the Secretary of Interior and Mrs. Ray Lyman Wilbur will give a buffet supper party at the Department of the Interior next Sunday evening, the event marking the fifty-fifth birthday anniversary of the Secretary. HERE will be many receptions, «as and luncheon parties—and a few dinners—for the several thousand delegates to the D. A. R. Congress, which is but a week away. Mrs. Hoover will, of course, receive the delegates, a time-worn custom of First Ladies of the Land, and she also will receive those attending the Republican School of Politics being held by the League of Republican Women at the Willard Hotel this week. PRESIDENT HOOVER is enjoying a rare treat and a much-deserved rest in his trip to the Virginia fishing camp, where he has with him a number of special friends and congenial spirits. While Mrs. Hoover’s vacation in Philadelphia was short, it, too, gave her a much- needed change of environment. It is a great impetus to Washington equestriennes to have the First Lady take to the saddle. She is the first mistress of the White House to ride a cross saddle, Mrs. Roose- velt, the only President’s wife in recent years to ride, having adopted the somewhat dangerous long riding skirt. F MUSICAL events there are many in prospect, former Repre- sentative and Mrs. Thomas W. Phillips having prepared a rare treat for their friends this week, while on Tuesday afterneon the National Symphony Orchestra will give another of its most creditable concerts. Patrons for these concerts have been delighted, and the list constantly grows. It looks very much like Washington will yet have a permanent musical institution of its own. HE Southern Society is furnishing the hosts and the Jefferson | Memorial Foundation in Washington the program for the eve- ning of Friday. when the Liberty Ball, a pageant and other enter- tainment will be furnished, the Willard ball rooms to supply the set- ting. It is deplored that the Southern Society and the Mash and Whig Club, both very popular in Washington, should choose the same night on which to entertain. The latter event will take place at the Belasco, and many wha attend the performance there will go on to the Southern Society. HE Congressional Club was invaded Thursday night by ‘many Sen- ators and Representatives, who accepted the invitations of their wives to attend a congressional cook-book dinner, with every dish for the many courses selecled from cook-book menus. From the White House and through the entire official roster, favorite dishes were selected and prepared as part of the feast. Cook books were given as souvenirs to the wives of the newer members of the club This book, which clearly shows the taste in the food of the mighty, was prepared and sold to raise a fund for building an addition to the club house, which is small but handsome. Mrs. Louis Cramton is chairman for the cook book and was chairman for the dinner part; too. Under her businesslike management, more than $20,000 been realized for the building fund from the sale of the boo‘s. v 'y, has | the 1M :NDAHL, V tfe of the new secre- tary of the Norwegian legation, daughter Wardman Pa Clinedinst and their Estrife, at ark.
