Midsummer’s Arrival Finds Capital Society Reaping Usual Pleasure Frequent Teas and Dinners Featured by Wel- come of President and First Lady to Crippled Veterans on White House Lawn. IDSUMMER has arrived in the National Capital, but even “dog | days” cannot prevent entertaining at the seat of the Federal Government. Small groups meet for tea and dinner fre- quently and informally in the artificially cooled restaurants or at country clubs and tea rooms, where there is a “smell of the open,” ¥ not a cool breeze, and in the middle of the week the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hoover were hosts to the disabled vetrans on the lawn of the White House, The weather was ideal for such an occasion— neither too hot for comfort nor too cool for the health of hosts and guests—and never has there been a happier atmosphere pervading the annual garden party for those who risked their lives for their country. President and Mrs. Hoover, both looking in the best of health, were particularly gracious throughout the afternoon and stopped for brief converse with groups of their guests as they wan- dered over the grounds. They all enjoyed themselves and, if one can judge by appearances, none more than the hosts of the Executive Mansion. The President and Mrs. Hoover remained in Washington over Bunday, having with them their son, Mr. Allan Hoover. Plans for a trip to the Rapidan camp were abandoned because of the night sessions of the Senate. TH’E Minister of Uruguay, Dr. Varela, was host to a large and dis- tinguished company Friday when he celebrated the 100th anni- versary of the founding of the Uruguayan Republic. The anniver- sary was also the inauguration of telephone communications between this country and that smaller republic to the south. Dr. Varela, who in length of service is third in the list of Ministers at this post, has served his government more than 10 years, having presented his credentials May 12, 1920. The viscount, Minister of Portugal, is the dean of Ministers in the corps, having arrived May 1, 1902, and Mr. Brun, Minister of Denmark, came in November, 1912. Dr. Varela and his family have made many friends in Washington and have been frequent and delightful hosts during the many seasons here. Mme. Varela and their daughter, Mlle. Adele Varela, who is a culti- vated musician, are in their home in Uruguay, where they recently gave a large reception in honor of the United States Minister to Uruguay and Mrs. Leland Harrison, who knew the Minister and his family when Mr. Harrison was Assistant Sectetary of State. Dr. Varela is expected to sail later in the Summer for a short vacation in his home. THE popularity of a country in foreign lands largely depends on the popularity of its envoys in foreign capitals; and the United Btates Ambassador to France and Mrs. Walter E. Edge are, from all reports, carrying on the work of the late Ambassador, Mr. Myron T. Herrick. Mrs. Edge, as chatelaine of the United States embassy, is a gracious hostess and one who enjoys entertaining. The Fourth of July was celebrated by the Ambassador and Mrs. Edge in the gardens of the spacious house which they have taken in the suburbs of Paris. The party was an afternoon and early evening affair, many of the American colony taking their children with them to play in the garaens. The band of the U. 8. S. Utah, which was in Cherbourg Harbor, played during the reception hours. The fact that approxi- mately 5000 guests were entertained on that “Glorious Fourth” by the Ambassador from “the States” and his wife is proof of their popularity. Mrs. Edge is generally conceded to be the “best dressed” woman in the American colony of Paris, appearing in excellent style, good taste and always dressed appropriately. The Ambassador and Mrs. Edge have many friends in Washington, where they lived several years when the Ambassador was Senator from New Jersey. CUPm is still relentless, though June is long since passed, and, in addition to the several July weddings of importance, there are announcements of many engagements of no little interest here. The marriage yesterday of Miss Beatrice Littlefield, daughter of Capt. and Mrs. William Lord Littlefield, to Mr. Bowman McCalla MacArthur, son of Mrs. Arthur MacArthur, jr., attracted the attention of both Army and Navy circles, and that of Miss Constance Templeton.l daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Templeton, to Mr. Frederick ‘William Rhinelander, son of Right Rev. Philip Mercer Rhinelander, in New York Tuesday was of equal importance in resident circles. The engagements of particular moment include that of Mile. Florence Marguerite Louise de la Forest Divonne to Mr. Charles Marburg, son of former United States Minister to Belgium and Mrs. Theodore Marburg of Baltimore, which was announced last week by Mille. Divonne’s parents, Viscount Ludovic de la Forest Divonne and Viscountess Divonne. The viscountess was formerly Miss Florence Audenreid of Washington and made her ‘debut here, being presented by her mother, the late Mrs. Joseph Audenreid, in her home, at 1027 Vermont avenue. and famous beauty of her “season” and quite the most popular young ~ lady who “came out” that Winter.

John’s Church, followed by a wedding breakfast and reception in the Vermont avenue home of Mrs. Audenreid. Mr. Marburg and his family are well know here in more recent years.
