President and First Lady Accompanied by Congenial Party on Cape Henry Trip§ Kmd and Queen of Siam Will Be Guests at Dinner Party at White House chnesday Evcmng. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ‘The President and Mrs. Hoover with | & congenial party of guests are steam- ing to Cape Henry and back on the modest little Sequcia, a Department of | Commerce inspection vessel. The banks of the Potomac are at their most pleas- | ing stage in verdure and the mission is one of surpassing interest—the 324th anniversary of the landing there of the first colonists. Such a simple ceremony as attends the exercises at the foot of the cross marking this cldest historic point in Virginia will please both the President and Mrs. Hoover, and Gov. Pollard and his aides will carry out the program. The Assembly of Tidewater Virginiu ‘Women made arrangements for the celebration and hundreds of persons from that section of country will at- tend. The President and Mrs. Hoover will be given but a shoru breathing spell at Cape Henry before steaming back to the Capital, reaching the White House in time for breakfast tomorrow morning. Beginning with the dinner Tuesday night with the Secretary of Agricul- ture and Mrs. Hyde as hosts the Pres- ident and Mrs. Hoover will put in a strenuous week. Preceding the dinner at the White House Wedneeday eve- ning for the King and Queen of Siam the President and Mrs. Hoover will ex- change the formality of calls with their majesties, the Vice President, the Chicl Justice of the Supreme Court and mem- bers of the cabinet going through with much the same ceremony. Happy in- deed are those who will be privileged to attend the musicale following the President’s dinner. The unusual in the line of dinner parties seems to attend the President and Mrs. Hoover just now, and the dinner given for them last week by the Secretary of Interior and Mrs. Wilbur had the most elaborate setting seen in ‘Washington in years. Spectacular din- her settings lost vogue in Washington years ago, and the revival last weck was very refreshing, a typical Alaskan scene greeting the guests as they entered the small ball room at the Mayflower: ‘The sturdy pines and cedars of Alaska almost surrounded the four walls of the room, reindeer and other animals familiar in the country peering from between the branches, with many eagles perched higher up. Mount McKinley in miniature, which served as a unique centerpiece for the wable, set guests to wondering if Dr. Cook the explorer ever really got to the top, and, be it said for the company, there were a few who thought he got ® good way up at any rate. Improved sadministration of Alaskan government affairs was given quite a boost and both the chief guest of honor and the host found interest in the scene. There was a mx;l:turo Alaskan vil- 7 lage at the foot of Mount McKinley | people with little Eskimo figures, and of greatest interest was the ilttle rail- | road running toward the copper mines | of which the world in general kno not overmuch. In contrast to the | scenes of more than a quarter of a century ago, when great hardship was endured in reaching any favorable point in the big, frozen country, were airplanes demonstrating how much easier of access it is by the new mode of travel. While the President and the First Lady of the Land may invite whom they will to the White House and se- lect their company along offical, polit- | ical and social lines to suit themselves, | even dining with the cabinet becomes a cut and dried institution, and 5o the luncheon they had Thursday at the National Girl Scouts' Little Tea House was a refreshing and delightful change It was-a demonstration of the Better Homes in America week. The coming of the National Society D. A. R. also brought novelty into Washington entertainments last week and & unique and interesting dinner was given by the South Carolina Daughters—a sort of a State’s product | event, with the food sent from South Carolina and prepared after the South- ern formula by the hotel chef. The hostess, Mrs. John Carroll Coulter, State regent; Mrs. Fred M. Burnett, toast- mistre and all the guests wore gowns of cotton, grown, spun, printed and de- signed and made in the State. Even the program was printed on cotton cloth instead of paper. The Georgetown annual garden pil- grimage, which is being held under the auspices of the Georgetown Children's Committee, May 15-16, offers several gardens unexplored in the past few years, Mr. Robert Woods Bliss, States Ambassador to Argentin Mrs. Bliss giving the commlttee the privilege of inspecting the wonderful gardens at The Oaks, known to old Georgetown families as the Blount es- tate.

Woolley, Mrs. Bernard Wykoff, Mrs. Edward Hulbert, Mrs. ‘Donald Wight, Miss Katherine Dougel and Mrs. Rich- ard V.
