Thursday the | brought to her task there some match- President and Mrs. Hoover will hold | the judicial reception, when the Chief |fervescent stage of happy hospitality, | Justice and Mrs. Hughes will lead the | stald and stately procession of legal | celebrities. Comfort, dignity and s wholesome hospitality marked the recgption last week, the Pirst Lady of the Land de- serving praise for her direction of ar- rangement. There were no long waits in half-heated corridors, no crush of | guests and rTeturned for them, on enfrance, where automobiles delivered guests and returned for themn o through the evening until'the visitors were presented, there was comfort. For the first time in fhe memory of the present generation the blue room doors ‘were open to all guests as soon ‘as the diplomats took leave. This gave many an opportunity to, meet members of the cabinet and other important per- | sons who lingered there. Mrs. Hoover has a novel experience awaiting her when on Tuesday she will| christen the Presiderit Hoover, an $8,000,000 turbo-electric liner, at New- port News, Va.

Mrs. Dale issued invitations for the afternoon a week or 80 ago, and will have a number of assistants. New York has & junior, assembly that is second in importance and brilliancy to no other event in that city, and it lo0ks very .like the debutantes’ dinner | dance at the Willard Hotel Wednesday night will take on the same degree of desirability.

Just as many Washington girls have . | tardiness at social affairs, late hours and crashing the gate at debutante , which calls to mind that Wash- . | James 8. committee is watching with keen in- terest is whether or not hostesses will be sufficiently independent to start the dinner on time and not wait for lag- gards. Looking quite into the future—that is, January 24—one finds a delightful con- cert and bal masque, arranged to take place at the Willard Hotel, under the auspices of Mme.
