B2 SOCIETY. OCILTY Mzrs. Hoover Honor Guest at Breakfast Given Today by the Congressional Club at the Willard. EXT to their annual reception in honor of the President and Mrs. Hoover, the Congressional Club breakfast at the. Willard today in ht;-gnr of lihe Ph;l.t‘ f the Land is the crowning soci mcof a twelvemonth, Today the famous Willard ball room held the most distinguished group of American women that could be called together—the wife of the President, the sister of the Vice President, several ladies of the cabinet and the members of the club, who are the wives, daughters and mothers of members of both branches of Congress. Spring flowers in_every varjety that may be culled at this season adorned the tables, and because Mrs. Hoover possesses a taste for classic music, the program of the young pianist partook of the music of old masters. Seated at the guest table which ran along the west wall of the ball room were Mrs. Hoover, upon the right of the hostess, Mrs. Dale, president of the club, who had upon her left Mrs. Gann, Seated at the guest table was Mrs. Leonidas C. Dyer, wife of Representa- tive Dyer of Missouri, who on March 2 will succeed Mrs. Dale as president of the club. Also at the guest table were Mrs, Wilbur, wife of the Secretary of the Interior, and Mrs. Doak, wife of the Secretary of Labor; the past presi- dents of the club, Mrs. Atlee Pomerene, Mrs. Lenroot and Mrs. Hadley. The members of the board were also guests at the table and included Mrs. C. Wil- llam Ramseyer, Mrs, Clarence F. Lea, Mrs. 8. Wallace Dempsey, Mrs. Tom Connally, Mrs. Daniel A. Reed, Mrs. Joe Crail and Mrs. Clay Stone Briggs. The programs, always a treasured memento of the breakfasts were un- usually handsome this year, printed on vory color and bearing on the front an engraving of the club at Sixteenth and U streets and on the back the insignia of the club. Between the covers was 8 beautifully engraved portrait of Mrs. Hoover. A great dash of brilllancy was given the event in having as artist Sascha Gorodnitzki, the young pianist, a Rus- sian by birth but now an American citizen, whose career as a pianist is al- most spectacular. He was pursuaded to enter the Schubert memorial competi- tion, with the result that he won. He gave a recital in Carnegie Hall last ved little less than a mas- ter triumph for him, and Mrs. Hoover heard him today for the first time. nitzki was a very small boy ‘when he was brought to America, and his first teaching was from his mother. Later he was given the best of teachers and graduated at the age of 15 from a school of music. With all his winning the Schubert contest, he is not much interested in prizes, tennis and ping- being his hobbies. He has won cup in every tennis tournament he has entered, and his friends jokingly offer be.. i o{ $250 for any one who can m & -pong. . ‘The President 5‘33 Mrs. Hoover have @s their guests at the White House, Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley Macy of New York, Mrs. Horatio Small of Virginia, Mr. and Mrs. Louis B.

Camalier & Buckley [~ Gino Leatherwars . }) 141 CONNECTICUT AVENUS, In a recent issue of Vogue per- haps you saw in some photo- ;rlphs taken at the races in rance—a walking stick um- brella. An identical stick is at Cam- alier & Buckley's. It has a dog’s head on it which, if you give a certain twist, loosens the out- side of the cane in three parts —each fitting inside the next. These go nicely inside your gmu and your stick becomes a eautiful umbrella, Violet boutonnieres are no more sign of Spring than walking sticks, smart handbags and gloves and umbrellas, These are the accessories that make for smartness and we venture to say that those of Camalier & Buckley are the smartest.

LI R 8 Photographs It is difficult to remember every little detail in the descrip- tion of your closest friends—and word pictures to those who have never met them usually give the wrong ideas. You should have a_ beautiful portrait that portrays their exact likeness and charm of person- ality. Have you seen the lovely pic- tures of young women in the window display of Underwood & | Underwood this week? The way in which their artists | are able to procure such natural and graceful likenesses is one of the reasons that this studio is famous in America and Europe. An Underwood & Underwood picture is a compliment to both giver and recipient. Take advantage of their Wash- ington Studio, where exquisite portraits are available at $20 the dozen.

I can’t wear any of the new shades!” Have you taken a good look at the speaker and seen a bad com- p]e:don and conspicuous make- up? They, of course, could wear most all the new shades if they would attend to the real funda- mentals of the well groomed, well dressed woman. First, make an appointment at Elizabeth Arden’s Salon. The skilled assistants thoroughly ex- amine your complexion and after having ascertained your own in- dividual needs they proceed with a treatment for those needs. Elizabeth Arden can prove to you by her treatments and prep~ arations that every woman ean have a clear, fine, pmooth and lovely eomplexion. Her powders and rouges are made in many shades and when applied give the appearance of matural beauty. Make inquiry at her Washing- ton Salon. 1147 Connecticut Avenue. Does your mirr superfluous hair? Today such facial blemishes are unnecessary to the well groomed woman.

Don’t_you think that a fresh new print or flat crepe would make your afternoons more in- teresting—and a beautiful new evening gown would make the pre-Spring formal affairs more novel? Pasternak’s have new_clothes coming in every day—prints and chiffons—and Farley hand- knitted suits, boucles and wool- ens for the crisp earlier hours of town and country. The new bright blue is fea- tured in many models. Colors this season are particularly fascinating. Styles have reached the acme of perfection in femininity. Unlike some past seasons—when one, we realize, was a bit freak- ish to be stylish—one now finds the present lines, cuts and ma- terials most flattering and suited to all figures. Misses’ Dept.
