Por long have Presidents’ and near Presidents’ names been associated with Valley Forge where President and Mrs. Hoover pald their respects to Decora- tion day vesterday, and while George Washington had not then achieved his highest honors in those pitiful days of early warfare When he was bivouced there other Presidents have paid their | respects to the historic spot. In con- trast to the primitive modes of travel | of early days and the rushing speed of the automobiles of today was the visit there of President and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt when they drove from the Valley Forge Station to Valley Forgs Farm In a “carriage” to attend the| wedding of Miss Rebekah P. Knox, daughter of Mr. Roosevelt's Secretary | of State, to Mr. James R. Tindle of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Valley | Porge Farm is still the home of Mr.| and Mrs, Tindle and there are many re- minders there of their wedding which was attended not only by the President and the First Lady of the Land, but by the entire cabinet and other dignitaries of that administration. The President and Mrs. Hoover Te- | tumed to the White House last eve- ning and as usual face a busy week. Among the other groups to be received | by Mrs. Hoover are the newspaper and publicity writers who form the Women's National Press Club, a body through| whom the outer world must View the | inmates of the White House. This will | bé Mrs. Hoover's first reception to the | club as a whole and it is an event of | supreme importance in their yearly | program. Mrs. Hoover will be the guest of the District Federation of Women's Club at their luncheon at the | Mayflower, May 10, and many otheri engagements with womankind await | her before she and the President may | declare & vacation. It must have been a lonely return for the family to the White House, for about the time they were leaving for their triumphal trip to Pennsylvania, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover and their three charming children, who have lent a strong domestic-touch to the life of the White House all Winter, were taking their departure for California. The residence of this charming little family will brighten the future pages of White | House history.

One no longer finds large and bril- liant colonies of diplomats and soclety folk from Washington at the fashion- able resorts like Newport, Bar Harbor and over Manchester way. Ocean travel is more frequent for diplomats and others and those who indulge to | the fullest in the social life of Wash- ington in Midwinter hesitate to dupli. cate names, faces and events during a Summer’s social program. An unusual number ot *¢iplomats , will spend the season on their native healths and many who remain on this side have found | seaside resorts where their social life will be negative. ‘The Ambassador of Japan and Mme. Debuchi and their children will go to Buena Vista Springs, Pa., while the Ambassador of Germany and Baroness von Prittwitz und Gaffron and their little daughter choose to go back to Germany for the season.
