Informal entertain- ments were given in the White House after a period of many weeks’ quiet,"and with Mrs. Hoover again in her place as hostess the garfles were all the more delightful. President and Mrs. Hoover have een such constant hosts during their married life that entertaining guests means little exertion on their part, and having visitors at the Executive Mansion is merely “carrying on” a habit of their lifetime. WASH‘INGTON took on a semblance of mid-Winter festivity THE visit of Senator and Mrs. Smoot within a fortnight after their marriage gave entertaining in the National Capital an impetus during the last few warm days. They arrived in the early morning Thursday and were met by his children and her children as well as representatives from the White House, who carried with them invita- tions to breakfast “immediately,” not only for the Senator and his bride, but for the little “welcoming party.” The breakfast was served on the south portico, and the guests, besides the Senator and Mrs. Smoot, were Mr. and Mrs. Harold Reed Smoot and Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Smoot, sons and daughters-in-law of the Senator, and his son-in-law and two daughters, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Cardon and Mrs. Zella Smoot Nibley; Dr. Walter Sheets of New York, son of the bride, and her son- in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. J. Willard Mariott; Mr. and Mrs. Royal T. McKenna, and Mr. Maurice Maschke, national Republican committeeman of Ohio, and Miss Susan Dyer. The simple repast was such as is served in many American homes every day, consisting of ice-cold melon, bacon and eggs and delicious hot whole-wheat muffins and toast. The dinner that evening, which the Chief Executive and First Lady of the Land gave, included their house guests, several of Senator Smoot’s colleagues in the Senate and one or two others. Senator and Mrs. Smoot are spending the week end with the President and Mrs. Hoover at Rapidan. HE garden party for disabled veterans which President and Mrs. Hoover will give Wednesday afternoon will be a gala occasion for the guests, provided the weather remains clear. This party for those of the military and naval branches of the Government who are still disabled, given annually on the south lawn of the White House grounds, stands out from year to year in the minds of all those who are fortunate to attend. Each year the number of guests grows less, many having become able to take their places in the world and not a few having gone further—to their final rest. HE Secretary of the Navy, the nautical Mr. Adams, has had a 10-day holiday, which was one most to his liking. He has been with Mrs. Adams in their Massachusetts Summer home, and spent a few days in the mid-week at Newport, where he went aboard his Yyacht, the Yankee, to ccmpete in the tests for the selection of the defender of the America’s Cup. Unfortunately, according to his view, the Secretary did not win his test against the Weetamoe, which was piloted by Mr. George Nichols, son-in-law of Mr. J. P. Morgan. Ten f’ears ago the Secretary won his test race and, piloting the Resolute, ater defeated Sir Thomas Lipton’s yacht, the Shamrock IV. The Secratary will return to Washington tomorrow, but Mrs. Adams will remain in the North. A FOR“‘!GN missions in the National Capital were prominent in the scrial news of the week, the dean of the corps, Senor Tellez, being host to his distinguished countryman, Senor de Oca, the minister of finance of Mexico. and later in the week a party was given at the Czechoslovak legation, when the Minister, Dr. Veverka, entertained for Mme. Marie Tilschova, famous Czechoslovak writer. This week holds nothing of such interest on the calendar, though such parties at this season of the year aré for the most part impromptu, and always as informal as possible. The Minister of Uruguay. Dr. Varela, will give a luncheon Friday to celebrate the anniversary of Uruguayan independence, and Bastile day, that outstanding anniversary of France, will be celebrated by an informal dinner party, which the charge d’affaires, M. Jules Henry, will give in the embassy tomorrow. The celebration of the French “Fourth of July” in Paris, the capital of the republic, is a three-day fete. y The Argentine Republic celebrated its independence anniversary Wednesday, July 9, with a holiday for the embassy staff, but no large or general fete.
