Brilliant Social Events On Washington Calendar Belie Lull in Activities cuban Digk Weddmg Eustis-Finley pan-American Union Musicale and Federation.s Luncheon to BC Brilliant AHG;I’S. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Not while White House garden par- ties are on, cabinet luncheons are being given for the First Lady of the Land. king's birthdays are being celebrated and wedding bells are clanging in un- interrupted symphony can the social season in Washington be termed a dead Issue. And locking ahead, some ] of the most brilliant events of a twelve | month are to take place, like the Fus tis-Finley wedding this week at beau- tiful Oatlands, the Virginia estate of Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis, a musi- esle on the esplanade of the Pan- American Union, and one of the largest and most brilllant luncheons of the vear, that of the Federation cf ‘Women's Chubs, when Mrs. Hoover will be the guest of honor. z | The party accompanying the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hoover to their Rapidan esmp Saturday was of unusual interest and size, and even though the Presi- dent will be engaged much of the time in earnest conversation with some of his guests anent cutting down Govern- | ment expenses, there will be time for recreation. The Hoover camp is prov- ing a veritable gold mine to the mountaineers, for an inordinate num- ber of chickens and eggs are consumed, milk and cream must be served and soon there will be an abundance of fresh vegetables and small fruits pro- duced right cn the spot or in the close vieinity, enough to satisfy a hundred | hungry campers. Former President Coolidge never seemed s0 enamored of camp life as is President Hoover. but in his present home, The Beeches, he can put it all over the President when it comes to fishing. The Beeches boasts a match- | less trout pond, and while Mr. Hoover must travel miles and miles to Rapidan | to cast his line, Mr. Coolidge just walks | down in his back yard, throws out a line a few times and has enough trout | to supply himself and his neighbors. The pond was there when President Coolidge bought the place and he has | kept it up with but little trouble. The President and Mrs. Hoover will on Wednesday afterngon hold their an- nual garden party in honor of the dis- abled veterans of the World War. long Army trucks, ambulances and private motor cars will begin to arrive on the south front lawn of the White House long before 5 o'clock, and the men will be ready for their gresting by the President snd Mrs. Hoover when they come down the steps from the White House and into the garden. Then there will file past the Chisf Executive and the First Lady of the Land their most unusual party of the | , their guests coming on crutches, | place they wished to sit, | went from group to group and with | Dawes, ~'@a Whegled chelrs, ubable (o shake hands because they have no hands to extend, and even perhaps a bed patient. Men on stretchers will pass the line and the motor power for the totally disabled will be the Red Cross and other nurses, the various, branches of the Red Cross and often a more for- tunate patient pushing his buddie along in a wheeled chair There will be gay canopies over the refreshment tables and there will be hundreds of cakes, sandwiches and gallons upon gallons of ice cream and punch consumed. Once to see this re- minder of the World War it is never forgottten, and of all the garden parties glven at the White House, this one receives the most infinite care and thought from the President and Mrs | Hoover. While Mrs. Hoover wore a simple blue voile dress, very fine and sheer and with a bit of cream white lace on the front of the bodice, when she held a garden party Wednesday for the Women's National Press Club, she will undoubtedly don some gayer rai- | ment when the veterans are enter-| tained, for men like gay colors. the First Lady gave a garden party this week for the Newspaper Women's Club she was in her best spirits, and if any thing could have been lovelier or more refreshing than the party one | would have to go far afield to find it. After they were Teceived and were seated in groups on the lawn, just any Mrs. Hoover her charming voice tcld about them and about the White House and then with a deep mother-love in her tone, which she could not conceal, admitted that she had timed her departure from the White House so she would not have to see her son and daughter-in- law, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, jr., and their children off for California. Among other things she told how the little black dog. Tar Baby, had lingered about Peggy Anne and Peter with such | tenacity that it wzs decided to give him a trzin ride to California. Mrs. Stimson, wife of the Secretary of State, who soon is to accompany her husband on his trip to Europe, enter- tained Mrs. Hoover at luncheon in mid- week, asking.the other cabinet women now in town to attend. This, like everything else taking place in Wash- ington nowadays, was given an alfresco atmosphere. It was a very lively and conversational little party when the Pirst Lady and her cabinet ladies dis- cussed past, Of course the visit of Mr. Charles G. Ambassator to Great Britain, who was a White House guest for a brief time. was talked over, and the When | present, and future events.
