HOOVER left the White | House last evening following the closing State function of | the season, to spend several days with her son Mr. Herbert Hoover, jr., in Asheville, N. C. She was accompanied by Mrs. Fred Butler. Several hours this side of the moun- tain resort, Mrs. Hoover and Mrs. But- ler left the train and are continuing the trip over the mountains by motor The series of dinners given annually by the members of the cabinet in honor | of the Chief Executive and First Lady, | will be resumed late in April, when the i Postmaster General and Mrs. Brown | will entertain in honor of President | and Mrs. Hoover.

The company inclided: Mrs. Thad Brown, Miss Grace Burton, Mrs. Roy Haines, Mrs. Charles Brand, Mrs Chester Bolfon, Mrs. Albert Carter, Mrs. | Elmer Evans, Mrs. James Whitley, Mrs. Robert_Simmons, Mrs. Willlam Nolan, Mrs. Harry Englebright, Mrs. Charles McClintock, Mrs. Israel Foster.

Speaker and Mrs. Longworth Feted by Congressional Club. The Congressional Club brought its program to a close for the season by holding an unusually brilliant and in- teresting reception in the club last night | in honor of the Speaker and Mrs. Long- worth. It was truly a day of triumph for Mr. Longworth, his pet hobby, the | bonus bill, passing the House by a big | majority and then the congratulations | and adulation of members of the club, many of whom were joined by their husbands, the colleagues of Mr. Long- | worth_in’ the House. | While the reception opened promptly | at 9 o'clock with the usual pretty little | ceremony of escorting the guests of| honor up the broad stairway to the| audience room, there was the lack of | great formality, for there was no White | House aide to make introductions and i Mrs. Porter H. Dale, president of the | club, introduced the guests to the Speaker, and after that they introduced themselves to Mrs. Longworth and the members of the board who assisted. In- deed so long was the reception line that it must have reminded Mrs. Long- | worth of her girlhood days in the White | House, when the President and Mrs. | Roosevelt and all of the ladies of the | cabinet stood in line and passed the | guest along. | The reception was the cheeriest and happlest of all the official receptio the club has held this season and after | the membcrs and guests were all re- ceived, a charmingly arranged table was drawn to the side of the room near the receiving line and Mrs. Dale, with her husband, Senator Dale, the Speaker and Mrs. Longworth and officers of the club | were refreshed. They sat long at the little table and | told stories and chatted, sociable friends stopping by to chat with them. Some of the late guests who arrived from the White House reception were received by Mrs. Dale and the guests of honor An orchestra stationed in the alcove | played “during the reception hour and | later for dancing. A long and handsomely furnished re- freshment table stood at one side of the | room where Mrs. Everett Sanders, Mrs. | John C. Schafer, Mrs. Dan Sutherland, Mrs, Claude A.’ Swanson and Mrs. Francls Sieberling presided and from | which a long line of members of the club helped to serve the guests. A particularly attractive group of the young_members of the club, headed by Miss Olive McClintic, daughter of Rep- resentative and Mrs. McClintic of Okla- | homa, and wearing a stunning red taf- feta gown, presided at the punch table. | She was assisted by Mrs. E. C. Lake, Mrs. South Trimble, jr.; Miss Margaret | Cramton, Miss Helen Bland, Miss Mar- garet Clements, Miss Helen Blapton, Miss Ruth Morgan and one or two others. | The receiving line was unusually | colorful, Mrs, Dale wearing a handsome Ted velvet gown with a scattcred design in gold. = Mrs. Longworth, whose gowns always bare close description, was a | handsome fabric of dull red and gold made in the prevailing style with a trained skirt, and she wore a chain of { diamonds about her throat Others in the receiving line were | Mrs. C. William Ramseyer, who wore a SOCILTY Mrs. HOOVCI‘ Leaves at Close Of Season at o Visit Son in arolina. \ handsome black gown with crystal em- broidery in design; Mrs. Clarence F.

The | latter was decidedly picturesque in a| gown, of lace, the skirt formed entirely | of frills, and blue velvet tied about the waist, while suspended from a chain about her neck was a fine old mintature in a silver setting. Mr. Hastings, who is a New York | club man, had but a short time before | heard Gov. Theodore Roosevelt speak at one of his clubs, and, like many others, returned to the receiving line to chat with Mr. and Mrs. Longworth. The !
