The guests With the President and Mrs. Hoover &t their Rapidan camp for a brief rest, the Vice President and his family off for Pimlico, and hundreds of others tak- ing the road between Washington and ‘Winchester, Va., to see the apple trees Im bloom, Washington settied down into & colorless week end after days of un- usual interest and brilliancy. The In- ternational Chamber of Commerce and the Lawyers’ Association brought legal affairs and finance before the public while the conclave of physicians be- spoke the physical side of life Starting out with an claborate sched- ule of al fresco affairs, when gardens in their first verdure would replace draw- ing room setting for the visitors from afar, the White House reception and other events of that day were rained inside and, except for quantities of Spring flowers, there was the same mo- notonous old atmosphere of a Washing- ton Winter reception about events. The Secretary of State and Mrs Stimson were particularly blest, as were their more than a thousand guests, with a fair day for their entertainment of the delegates to the International Chamber of Commerce meeting, and truly & more charming sight could not be found than Woodley, with its wealih of trees, fine old wistaria and other blooming vines, and, best of all, the beautiful vistas opening from many sides and giving the grounds a final rural aspect. The President and Mrs. Hoover re- celved the delegates to the Chamber of Commerce Conference and their ladies, and a very few other guests, in the blue room, where state receptions are held, 2nd with but little change from those ceremonies. The President's military and naval aides made the introductions, other aides were in eyidence, and re- freshments suited to such a reception were served i1 the state dining room. While no environment takes the place of a lovely garden at this season, the visitors had = good glimpse of the sloping grounds at the south of the President’s Mansion, the gay blooms in the gardens close to the house furnish- tng'8 rellef of color, while the fountain 4& the foot has its stone brim, sur- were also interested in the trees on the grounds planted by former presidents, and the sapling which President Hoover recently planted. Overhanging skies spoiled the setting for several other parties, but the Capital is never lacking in hospitality. The Vice President, Mr. Curtis, and his sister, Mrs. Edward Everett Gann, were not requested to entertain for the foreign guests, as Mrs. Gann has been il for several months, but they were invited and seen everywhere. They attended the cinner which the Minister of Czechoslov. gave in honor of the celegates and which was followed by a reception. The Vice President has a box for the National Capital Horse Show, and it is a settled fact that with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Gann, he will witness the Kentucky Derby at Louisville, Of paramount interest to soclety this week is the National Capital Horse Show, which opens at Bradley Farms Wednesday and lasts for the rest of the week. Luncheon parties will be given at Bradley Farm, where the com- mittee having charge of the Army, Navy and Marines' Club house for enlisted men hold the concession and will pre- side throughout the week. One of the more important luncheon parties of the day will be given there Wednesday by Mrs. Ben H. Fuller, wife of the commandant of the Marine Corps. Wednesday night one of Washing- ton's snappiest and prettiest balls will be given, when at the Mayflower the ctivities of the hors: show for that will be brought to & close with the annual hunt ball and breakfast. Every suggestion of the ring will be found in the decorations and the plan is to anncunce the breakfast at midnight | with a blast from bugles, while old ing songs will be sung during the breakfzst hour. ‘Those of Washington who recall the rcorganization of the Natlonal Red Cross Society in the Roosevelt adminis- tration look forward with interest to the dinner at the Willard Hotel the evening of May 21, given to celebrate (Continued op Page 3, Column 17.)
