First Lady Changes Method In Receiving Her Guests With Foreigners Present Socx'cty to Meet Japanese Celebrity~Debutantes Enlardc on Winter Program——Army Ca]]e‘e Fete in Prospect. I accompanying the visit of the Fidac, the marriage of Senator Robert M. La Follette, jr., an event which brings to the Senate | circle of women its youngest member, and over the arrangements for the great Army fete at the War College the three last days of this week, the return of officials and diplomats gives the Autumn season a substantial background. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. HERE is always some good and stirring bits of social news in Washington, and while society is still talking over the events HARMING in every detail and with a touch of originality in its arrangements just such as one would expect from Mrs. Hoover, who never takes things just as she finds them because she finds them that way, but really thinks things out for herself, was the garden reception Thursday for the Fidac. First meeting the guests of honor from the Old World and mingling with them for a time before meet- ing the “at home” guests gave a nice air of distinction and compli- ment to the visitors. The entire scheme was carried out so smoothly and with such pretty dignity that one could scarcely believe the garde‘n party plans for the second time only, could have been carried to such success. THE sympathy of Washington and the country at large is with the President and Mrs. Hoover in the temporary illness of their elder son, Herbert Hoover, jr. The White House family is considered as be- longing almost as much to the people as does the old mansion in which they live and whenever there is a sickness there, even if tem- orary, a frank statement to the public is appreciated. Young Mr. E{oover‘s recovery will earry out the old saw that it is an ill wind that | blows no one good, for it perhaps will detain his garmts for longer periods at their camp where he now is, and give them much needed rest. However the President is expected to return to the White House todny1 thus giving himself a long automobile journey with very little actual rest. CARNIVAL is a name to stir one’s blood and when it applies to the Army War College annual carnival of earth and air and is for the benefit of the Army and Navy relief work, to care for the families of men in the ranks of the service, it has a double appeal. Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week will be almost entirely given over | to the brilliant event and whatever of luncheon and tea and dinner | parties may have been planned, will with but few exceptions be given at the War College Officers’ Club. \ WITH the large group of heroes departing from Washington, it is interesting that another celebrity is coming in the person of Baron Shiba, member of the Japanese House of Peers. Baron Shiba, | who is returning from Berlin, where he attended the !m.erqauonah Power Conference, will arrive here Wednsday and the following day | #he Ambassador of Japan and Mme. Debuchi, who return from Blue | Ridge Summit tomorrow, will give a dinner in his honor. Baron Shiba is president of the Institute of Aeronautical Research of Japan, | and will not only visit Langley Field, but some flying stunts will be deone in his honor. UST as debutantes are making up their early schedules for enter- J taining, bearing at the top the names of Miss Caroline Hyde, the only cabinet bud, announcement comes that she will not after all make her debut this season, but will instead enter the University of | Michigan, her father’s alma mater. She will, however, meet the| debutantes in some considerable number when she returns for her Christmas holiday, and when, December 27, Mrs. Jacob Leander Loose gives a tea dance at the Mayflower in her honor. RS. WILLIAM LATRD DUNLOP, Jr., will givg a big ball for debu- tantes at the Mayflower October 27, a bit early to be sure, as those who are still in school will miss it, but it will serve as a reunion | and an introduction for this set. In foymer years Mrs. Dunlop has given a tea dance for the buds. HILE the list of debutantes grows longer, entertainment for the buds grows apace. Since so many girls well known in ‘Wash- ingten are making their debuts in New York, it is pleasant to find a New York girl in the person of Miss Helen Lee Ames Doherty, daughter. of Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Doherty, coming to Washington. | She will be presented at a ball at the Mayflower December 26. Dr. | and rs. Wlflinm C. Gwynn will give a luncheon for their debutante; daughter, Miss Louise Harrison Gwynn, at the same place October | 27, and Mrs. Ralph Richards will give a luncheon for her debutante | daughter at the Mayflower December 18. Dr. and Mrs. Larkin Glaze- brook will entertain for their debutante daughter, Miss Virginia Trux- ton Glazebrook, early in November. Mise Caroline C.
