White House Is Kept Busy Receiving Guests Despite End of Season’s Activities | President and First Lady Continue to See Visitors to Capiral as Thron Through BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ‘The White House, the real pivot of ‘Washington life, is a busy place these days despite the end of things social, for both.the President and the First Tady of the Land are incessantly in demand as long as they remain the Nation's chosen hosts. The mansion is constantly thronged with tourists, and while busses and automobiles bear- ing special at the east entrance, those from not far distant who have patroled the side- walk around and around the mansion, viewing it from every standpoint, get up courage to join the vanguard and sall in behind the sightseers. Some few of the visitors, say several | hundred a week, have the privilege | of being received by the President anl Mrs. Hoover, like groups of the #-H Club, which always have the strong| indorsement of the President and his lady, and Mrs. Hoover, like the Pr dent, is forever receiving persons by | special appointment. Some of these guests sit with the First Lady on the | south front portico and take a cup of | tea and others are received in one or other of the state drawing rooms, with | every one standing while the cere-| mony is in progress. | ‘There is something delightfully so- elable and intimate in Mrs. Hoover's| method of recelving these special guests. | ‘When she received the Quota Club In-| ternational last week the hundreds of | women were particularly impressed by | Mrs. Hoover's pet hobby, Girl Scouts, | giding up and down the line of wnlt-l ing visitors and guiding and directing | them in & manner to expedite the re-| ception. In the blue room, the real state drawing room, where Ambassadors, royal visitors and other great and near- great are received, stood dignified Girl Scouts in their charming Summer uni- forms, adding as much luster to the scene as did the President’s aide, who from precedent must stand hard by when the First Lady receives guests. in strong contrast is the ceremony observed when the President recelves m foreign Ambassador or Minister, always in the blue room, and with State Department officials making the presentations, while the diplomats generally wear their court dress.

The new Min of the Dominican Republic was 1ceived Fri- day and there are other ¢ ‘ch happen- ings to add excuse for tie President tarrying in and near the White House. Canada’s new Minister, Col. Herridge, has elready been received and gone his way to'Canada to remain until Autumn. The Sectetary of the Navy and Mrs. | Adams always find occupation when in | Washington, for they are fond of books | and pictures, and just now the friends | of the Sscertary are reading with inter- | est “Greyhounds of the Sea,” a charm- ing book about clipper ships, written by Carl C. Cutler, and for which Mr. Adams wrote the foreword. Indeed, Mr. Adams says the book is about the completest story of America’s fleet- winged ships yet written. And speaking of writing, Mrs. Cool- idge is permitting her thoughts and expressions to be recorded in Good Housekeeping for the benefit of woman- kind, and perhaps she will some day add & volume to the shelves of books for and about White House mistresses. Her literary efforts, however, can never equal her charm as a writer of notes and letters. So, after all, ‘future years may find her in the Abigail Adams class of letter writers, rather than a writer of books. ‘When Congress reconvenes official soclety will have a new lady of letters in_the person of Mrs. Costigan, (Continued on Page 2, Column 2.) ——— Senora TETET Motoring To New England Camp Senors Dona Rosario G..de Arias, wife of the Minister of Panama, will leave Washington tomorrow for Maine to place her young son and daughter, Gilberto Arlas and Rosario Arias, aged 10 nd 11, respectively, in the Moss | Cove Camp for Childrcs.
