Underwood Phote Capital Social Activities Curtailed in Large Degree, Awaiting Autumn Dawn Washington, However, Still Offers Attractions Surpassing Those of Any Other City. ls Mecca £Or To“rist!- BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. WHH.E society is in_abeyance until early Autumn, the Capital still offers attracticns that no other city in the country affords, and few other capitals of the world can claim as many beauty spots. While the White House doors are open there is always interest in that quarter, the citizens of the country dwelling hungrily on every phase of the life there, and if perchance tourists catch sight of the President’s wife as she hastens from &lace to place, they feel repaid for a trip across the continent. It not alone the fashionable folk who wish to be in the Capital when the President’s family is in residence here, but the humblest citizen would choose such a time for coming, and the seasoned attendants about the White House are veritable encyclopedias of historic knowl- edge and paragons of courtesy. WHILE there is no well formulated program for White House events, the President and Mrs. Hoover are continuous hosts, and even | while they are fulfilling their Western itinerary after the middle of | this month the old mansion will be open to the public and a pretty | affair awaits the coming of the foreign and domestic delegates to the annual meeting of the American Bar Association in the garden party to be held on the grounds August 26. The entire social pro- gram for this august body is elaborate and shows great care and thought. If of necessity the President and Mrs. Hoover are absent, members of the cabinet or their assisb_tfns will bear the brunt of hospitality. The British embassy will"be open and will have its rightful master, Sir Ronald Lindsay, as a genial host. AS many of the delegates from foreign eountries will be accom- panied by the ladies of their families, the receptions will not, as has so often been the case of late, be stag affairs. They will be show places for the exhibition of pretty Summer costumes and the meeting of important official households. LADY LINDSAY, chatelaine of the new British embassy, who was so serious an invalid as to be taken to the station in an ambulance when she left Washington for Long Island a few days ago, is not likely to return very soon, and as some of the other chatelaines of foreign missions are absent, the events for the visiting lawyers must perforce be stag affairs or hostesses supplied from other sources. R s MANY persons of Washington society who keep the social world awhirl in the Capital in Midwinter_have shifted their scene of action and gre the busiest hosts at impdrtant Summer resorts. Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, who always is busy when in Washington, is keeping things lively at Elsinor, her place at Bar Harbor, where she is en- tertaining formally- and informally and lending her house for char- ities. At Newport, Mrs. George Mesta and others are entertaining, while at Beverly and all along the North Shore there are daily events worth a telegraph or cable. AT East Hampton the center of attraction is sweet Peggy Ann Hoover, the eldest granddaughter of the President and Mrs. Hoover, shown in a wonderfully attractive portrait painted by Miss Clara Louise Bell. who has frequently held exhibitions of miniatures in Washington. Exhibiting with Miss Bell is Mr. William 8 Eaton, showing landscapes and sea views. And this mention of artists brings one to the fact that the members of the Arts Club of Washington are to enjoy the picturesque garden back of the club during all the Summer months. The bit of a garden back of the Women's Na- sional Democratic Club is also coming in for little informal events Juring the midseason and there are other bifs of gardens where anteresting hostesses entertain, while, of course, the country clubs are Jever entirely deserted. ot s Mzr. and Mrs. Wade H.
