President and Mrs. Hoover Entertain At White House for Prince Tokugawa, Notable Japanese Philanthropist Statesman Who Has Prominent Place in His Nation's Historical Records. Society's Program for Week Striking Feature of Late Autumn period—Egr]y Future Events Listed. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. UT little of Washington's Mid- winter glamour of social events was lacking in the program last week, with the White House, cabinet and embassies all lend- ing & part, while .weddings, engage- ments and debutante festivities rounded out s perfect Autumn week of enter- tainment. The President and Mrs. Hoover entertained for the great Japa- nese statesman and philanthropist, Prince Tokugawa, and ‘Mrs. Hoover gathered the cabinet ladies about her st luncheon to discuss the Winter's program. It was the luncheon—a rather in- formal event—which gave the greatest taterest to the week, for such subjects @8 when the President and Mrs. Hoo- wer will dine with the members of the eabinet, when the cabinet ladies would begin their Wednesday afternoon re- eeptions and some other matters to lend perfection to the official season in ‘Washington, were talked about. ‘Then, %o, the White House luncheon gave Mrs. Hoover and Cabinet women an opportunity to congratulate Mrs. James J. Davis on the election of her husband to the Senate. Youthful, gay and happy, the mother of five lovely children, Mrs. Davis as the wife of the Becretary of Labor has yet found t‘me to take so important a part in the life of Washington that she has endeared herself to each and every one of its citizens. She is the beloved friend of newspaper women, and whenever she holds & reception and they attend there follows a wealth of charming stories. ‘The Women’s National Press Club ‘will have the Becretary and Mrs. Davis and their four daughters, and perhaps James J. Davis, jr., their son, as spe- elal guests at a luncheon at the Wil- Jard Hotel a week from Tuesday. will be & momentous event, as the club’| mever before entertained a family party, though they have been hosts to the Pirst Lady of the Land, cabinet women many notables. President Curtis had scarcely his coat and hat on s return before he had to consent Armistice ball at the May- 1 Tuesdsy night. A flag- set apart for him, and military ball his entrance H i Ei !' § £ £ g ing patrons and having a box. The Ambassador of Cuba has also taken a box, and among the civilians who have engaged to entertain parties is Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh. The President and Mrs. Hoover are patrons for the ball, as are the cabinet members and their wives. ‘When President and Mrs. Hoaver hold their New Year day reception for 1931, they will be greeted by many unfamiliar faces as .the Ambassadors, Ministers and charge d'affaires present the felici- tations of their respective rulers. How- ever, the Ambassador designate of Argentina and Senora de Malbran, who reach New York tomorrow and will at once come to Washington, are re- turning to warm friends, and the scene here is a familiar one to both the Am- bassador and his wife. He brought her here as a bride some 20 years ago, and again he came in 1928 as Ambas- sador. For various reasons no longer existing, Dr. Malbran did not long tarry, and now that everything is ad- Jjusted that might raise unpleasant com- plications he again returns to represent his country. The embassy at New Hampshire avenue and Q street is am- ple for entertaining, and during the, coming season it will be one of the gay- est of all the embassies. ‘There is not the wild orgy of dances in progress now which beset the Capi- tal just after the close of the World War, but there will be few nights dur- ing the season when some large ball or dance will not be in progress. Be- sides the Armistice ball at the May- flower Tuesday night, which day also marks the natal day of the King of Italy—the first Navy ball of the season will be given at the Willard Priday night, when Navy and Marine Corps officers will be the hosts. The Secre- tary of the Navy and Mrs. Adams, who entertained that branch of the service at ap at home Wednesday, will be the guests of honor Friday night. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan C. Wyeth will introduce their daughter, Miss Margo ‘Wyeth, to socicty at a tea dance at the Carlton Hotel Monday, November 17, and next month Mr. and Mrs. Gist Blair, the latter the aunt of Mrs. Wyeth, will give a dance for Miss Wyeth at Grasslands. Living much abroad, Miss Wyeth has had ample op- Rertunity to follow the talents inherited from her father, and while enjoying the delights of & debutante season, she yet spends part of each week day in study- ing at the art school in the Cor~- allery, - Another debutante with a flair for art is Miss Helen Lee Eames Doherty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry L. Doherty of New York, who was pre- sented to most of the debutantes of this season at a dinner given for her by Mrs. John Allan Doherty preceding the debutante bell at the Mayflower and who will be formally presented here at a brilliant ball at the same hotel the night of December 26. Miss Doherty has plenty of name, plenty of money, a splendid education and much personal charm, and she also has a business head. While preparing for her B. A. degree at the University of Madrid she studied art and con- ceived the idea of buying such baubles as sports model automobiles as gifts to her friends and decorating them with fetching silhouettes depicting their fa- vorite sports. She has purchased 12 such models—enough to make a work- ing girl debutante of Washington green with envy. Miss Doherty also rides | horseback, and as King Alfonso of Spain once rescued a schoolgirl friend of hers who fell from her horse while riding through the Casa de Campo near Madrid, Miss Doherty will paint a car for the King. Another charming girl who comes from afar to meet Washington society, though not in the strict sense a de- butante, is Miss Gertrude Bancroft, who will spend the Winter with her aunt and uncle, the Attorney General and Mrs. Mitchell. Miss Bancroft is quite an acquisition to the social ranks and, like one or two other girls in the cab- inet circle, takes too serious an outlook on like to devote all of her time to pleasure. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Prank C. Bancroft of St. Paul, the former the brother of Mrs. Mitchell. Miss Bancroft is a graduate of Simmon College in Boston, where she took a private secretarial course. Her longing to practically apply her knowledge is offered in the work she will do as secretary to Mrs. Mitchell. This work, however, will not deter her in her social pursuit, and Washington soclety will have ample chance fo enjoy her, Mr. and Mrs. Wade H. Ellis, formerly of Ohio, now of Washington, Who passed the SBummer in touring Eng- land, have come again to their Wash- ington home on Massachusetts avenue. Their prolonged visit in England had to do with their estate of hundreds of acres in Virginia—acres that surround Ripon Lodge. This country place is nne of the oldest in the Old Dominion D.

Whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Wyeth, will introduce her to Harris-Ewing Photo. Col. Richard Blackburn, in honor of his native land. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis spent more than a week in Ripon, England, a town of about 8,000 inhabitants and noted for its famous Ripon Cathedral. They went to church in this ancient edifice and bought some fine old prints and antiques for their country place in Vir- ginia. They lived in & famous old hotel in Ripon, in rooms facing the town square and each evening they both watched and heard the ancient town horn blower stand first at one and then another of the four corners of the park, blowing his horn, a custom as old as the city itself. Mr. Ellis spoke before the men's Friday Lunch Club in Ripon, & club composed of lawyers, and he told them about his Virginia estate, Ripon Lodge. While Mr. and Mrs. Ellis live in their town house in Washington from Monday to Saturday they spend each week end at Ripon Lodge, and if they: do not take guests with them they have a continuous tea party all Sunday after- noon.
