Lady of the White House Is Interested, In a Series of Informal Luncheons To Precede the Listed State Affairs Cabinet Women and Others in High Society Already Entertained—State Department Issues Bulletin Officially Announcing Cabinet Days at Home- = >cial BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. S a preliminary to the series of dinner in cabinet the night Hoover is inter- & series of offi- elal luncheons informally carried out, already had as her guests the women and the wives of the until January, when each Wednesday until Lent will be observed in cabinet. ‘Were these weekly receptions the only duties devolving upon cabinet women they -would indeed be fortunate, but the President'and the First Lady of the Land at dinner and must entertain the Events of Early Future. and there is & hope held out in New York that she will visit that city Pri- day to attend the Girl Scout Federation of Greater New York. Relieving the sadness at the White House caused by the illness of the elder son of the President and Mrs. Hoover is the prospect of again hearing chil- dren’s voices in the famous old mansion and seeing toys scattered about to con- trast with the austere and terribly offi- cial look of the house. The grandchil- dren of the President and Mrs. Hoover are coming from California, the three of them, Peggy Ann, Herbert, 3d, and Joan, baby girl who is just a few months old, and perhaps they will re- | main over Christmas, when the First Lady of the Land ‘will again have one | of her old-time Christmas trees for them to frolick about, such as she had | last year. Aceording to present plans the chil- dren will stop st Asheville, N..C, to| visit their father, Mr, Herbert Hoover, jr, and will then come to the Capital. It will be the first visit of lHttle Joan to the White House, but Peggy Ann and her brother Herbert were there a year 2go. Mrs. Hoover is returning from the South, where she went for a brief glimpse of her son. While official calendars are being rapidly filled, those of soclety in general are also in requisition, and from the present outlook shoe leather will be the most expensive article on society’s ac- counting, for dance dates occur on al- most every page of the book. Follow- ing tradition, the Navy Relief Ball will complete the close of Thanksgiving day and the Willard Hotel ball rooms will be filled with the cream of official and resident society. This ball, like that given annually for the Children’s Coun- try Home and the Children’s Hospital, The first Washington Bachelor Cotil- lion will be given at the Mayflower December 8, and there is a carefully culled list of invitations soon to- be sent out. Coming some weeks later is the Washington International Assem- bly, to be held the night of January 26 in the ball rooms of the Willard. Most brilliant of all Washington balls is the Bal Boheme of the Arts Club, to be held at the Willard February 2. Inter- spersed are many other dancing events besides the really brilliant balls for debutantes. Nothing adds more distinction to the Winter season 'than the morning musi- | cales given under the direction of Ms. | Lawrence Townsend, and to which the | social world of Washington willingly | subscribes. The best of artists with their choicest programs, receive on each Wednesday morning at the Mayflower & continuous ovation from the cream of soclety and music lovers. Mrs. Hoover |always attends one or more of the musicdles and on these days there is one active and two past mistresses of the White House present, for Mrs, Wil- liam H. Taft and Mrs. Woodrow “Wilson never miss one of these events. December 3 is the date of the first musicale this year and the two follow- ing Wednesdays in December complete the series for 1930, with s resumption January 7, other dates fof the musicales being January 14, 21, 28 and Pebruary 4. Luncheon parties of sufficient social importance and brilliancy to make a whole season in any other city follow each morning musicale and the spec- tacle is almost equal in importance ta a White House State reception. The newly appointed United States Minister to Uruguay and Mrs. J. Butler Wright will arrive in Washington today and will be at the Mayflower during their stay.
