Full-Schedule, Including Visit of Royalty, Awaits Return of Garden Party for Veterans and Festival of Nations Also Ar Listed for Spring. BY SALLIE V. H, PICKETT. When the President and the First Lady of the Land close the White House door behind them Washington society | feels almost as if in mourning. Wheth:r | er not there is great social actlvity in the mansion, it is yet the hub around which Washington revolves, and when the lights are out in the upper portals ©f the house social whecls seem to Stop turning. However, Mrs. Hoover is not likely %o remain long away, fond as she is of traveling automobile fashion over the eountry, for there is a Spring sched- uile to arrange, which includes the visits ®f the King and Queen of Siam, and Prince and Princess Takamatsu of Japan, a garden party for the veterans ot Walter Reed and other hospitals, the Pestival of Nations for the Girl Scouts, tn which she is warmly interested, and she has given her name as a box holder for the Society Circus at Fort Myer, which comes at the end of this Wweek. Pixing up for royalty is a no incon- | pidcrable matter in’ even as rich and well founded a Republic as our own, and though the coming of King Prajad- | hipok of Siam, and his royal consort is fmore than a month away there is quite & heart flutter when the elite drive by | the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larz Ander- son, on Massachusetts avenue, and | plainly see curtains up and the residence | in the process of preparation for re-| ceiving the King and Queen and their sulte. Mr. and Mrs, Anderson, who spend far more time at their beautiful estate, Weld, at Brookline, Mass., than in their Italian-looking house in Washinglon, ere somewhere on the oth'r side of| the ocean and are leaving their Jarge corps of servants and State Department | officials to direct arrangements for their majesties’ comfort. Plenty of privacy is offered the august visitors by the ‘handsome residence, which sets a little | back from the strest lin: and has & high stone wall along the front shut- ting off the street view, with s stately entrance and exit for automobiles. “Massed at the front of the wall is the finest growth of mountain laurel to b found in the capital and it will prob- ably be in full bloom when the visitors arive. Rare tapestries, pictures, rugs and other sumptuous treasures from all parts of the world and especially frcm the Orient fill the mansion. The drawing rooms look out over a charm- ng, though not -extensive, garden at she back of the house, and rare old lead statues, the finest specimens i this or any other country, and & num- ‘r of sacred boxwood trees, hundreds Mrs. Hoover (] Among Affairs of years old and scarcely bigger than » hand bouquet, form objects of inter- est. Should fair weather prevail, their Majesties may entertain at dinner on |the second floor terrace, overlooking | this garden, the night of their arrival in the Capital. They will tread halls where many of the great and near- ‘Krelt of this country have been enter- | tained. . Their Majesties the King and Queen of Siam may dine from gold plates in the Anderson house, just as they may do at Ophir Farm, the estate of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, at Harmon, N. Y. While a few New Yorkers undertook to com- mercialize the visit of the King and Queen by charging a quarter of a mil- lion for estates, where they might have harbor when in New York State, Mrs. Reid hospitably gives the handsome estate for their use, free of all ex- pense. Of course, Mr. and Mrs. An- { derson are paying a like compliment to |the royal guests. Mr. Charles L. Cook | | of the State | | Department, who arranged for the visit | |to the Capital of their Majesties the King and Queen of the Belgians, H. |R. H. the Prince of Wales and other royal visitors, will likewise have in hand the detalls for the next royal |guests. It is likely, too, that the Queens brother, Prince Nondia vat S\ull who is a student in Washing- ton at the Georgetown Foreign Service | | School, will have a reunion with his | parents, Prince and Princess Svasti, who accompany their Majesties, and with his sister, the Queen. A cabinet wedding is a fitting inter- | lude to these visits of royaity and one | | hears with keen delight that the mar- riage of Miss Gertrude Lamont, daugh- | | ter of the Secretary of Commerce and | Mrs. Lamont, to Mr. Charles !:sknd'e‘ Saltzman, son of Maj. Gen. Charles | McKinley Saltzman, chief of the Radio Commission, and Mrs. Saltzman, will | take place in the Capital. Military at- | mosphere will be given the event by the many friends of the bridegroom's father, while undoubtedly the President | and Mrs. Hoover will attend. After all Washington is not to have the pleasure of attending the wedding of Miss Gertrude Bancroft, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Prank Churchill Ban- croft, of St. Paul, Minn, who while ‘l guest of her aunt and uncle, Attorney General and Mrs. Willlam De Witt Mitchell, bad her engagement to Hubert Briand Holland announced here several weeks ago. Miss Bancroft has made 80 many friends here that society fore- saw another brilliant cabinet wedding. SOCIETY SECTION The Sty Star. WASHINGTON, MRS.
