President and Mrs. Hoover And Members of Cabinet Seek Heat Wave Relief Prominent Officials Out of City for Week End. Capital. Howevcr. Is Enlivened by Visiting Politicians. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HILE the President and Mrs. Hoover and almost the entire cabinet family are absenting themselves from Washington for the week ends or for a longer time, one yet meets not- ables wherever luncheon or dinner tables are set under cool- ing fans. Senator Simeon D. Fess, new chairman of the Republican National Committee, is in Washington and politicians cluster about him like swarms of bees about a flower garden. MRS. HOOVER gave affairs an unusually interesting turn last week, christening a merchantman of the sea and dedicating a bridge at the Girl Scouts’ camp in Virginia, where many of the several hundred Scouts in cnmg there gave her a great ovation. The cooling system installed in the President’s offices does not extend to the resi- dence, thereby giving politicians on business bent an advantage. How- ever, the old mansion, with its thick walls and splendid ventilation, is 8 truly comfortable abode, even on the hottest days. SENATORS and Representatves are constantly drifting in and out of the Capital, and one finds them in groups at the various ho- tels, while political leaders from all sections of the country, in visiting the Capital, give rise to: informal entertainment. Groups of inter- esting men and women from various parts of the Old World have lent interest, too, and delegates to the Honduran-Guatemalan bound- ary Conference were several times honor guests. There are a suffi- cint number of foreign Ministers remaining in town to give these af- fairs the usual atmosphere of importance and dignity. HURSDAY afternoon from 5 to 7 o'clock the Minister of Ecuador and Mme. Viteri will hold a reception in celebration of the cen- tenary of the foundation of Ecuador. They will receive in the draw- ing rooms of the legation, 1712 New Hampshire avenue, and members of the legation staff will assist. All of the more important officials in the Capital just at this time will attend. sm RONALD LINDSAY, who is remaining at the British embassy watching its course of completion, is having the pleasure of see- ing a beautiful garden develop from a barren waste, like flowers brought to life under a fairy’s wand. The big swimming pool is not yet finished, but the garden walls and terraces, furnishing a setting for the greensward and shrubbery, are in place, and when finished the British embassy will boast one of the most charming shows of landscape gardening in this section. SR S —— Z ANOTHER new home of great importance which is being rapidly brought to completion is that of the Chief Justice and Mrs. Hughes on R street, which also boasts a garden, small but charm- ing. The Chief Justice and Mrs. Hughes, who have been in New York and abroad for some time, sail from Europe today and will ar- rive in Washington Saturday. They will be at the Mayflower for a brief time before going to Chicago, where the Chiet Justice will at- tend the meeting of the American Bar Association. OTHERS of debutantes have learned—after hard and long schooling—the futility of waiting until the season opens to an- nounce the coming-out dates for their daughters; with the result that the Mayflower Hotel already schedules enough balls, receptions, din- ner dances and teas for a whole Winter program, though a few mothers contemplate bringing their ‘daughters out in their own homes, only depending on the ball rooms of hotels for the big dancing event. OME weal come woe and let the Autumn election bring forth what fruit it will, there will yet be a number of buds from official ranks presented. Miss Katrina McCormick, daughter of Representa- tive Ruth Hanna McCormick, candidate for the Senate, will be pre- gented at the Mayflower and Miss Mary Parker Corning, daughter of Representative and Mrs. Parker Corning of Albany, N. Y., who will have her first formal peep at society at Glen Cove, Long Island, in September, glso is scheduled for a Washington debut party, and other young girls will lend an official atmosphere to the debutante group. .
