Winter Program Must Await| End of Rapidan Visits by President and Mrs. Hoover Hope for Autumn Social Season Grows With | Return of Sccretary of State ‘ flnd Mr!. stim!on; BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Plans for the Winter's soclal program in the Capital will remain in waiting as long as the Presicent and Mrs. Hoo- ver find it agreeable to spend the Autumn days st their camp in the Virginia mountains. That there will ‘be curtailment in the manner of enter- tainment in the Capital next Winter goes without saying, but that the offi- elally prescribed program will be carried out as usual is & foregome conclusion “These in high places who have unques- tioned obligations to fulfill will carry on quite as usual. Howeyer, the parties will all be smaller and there will be no strepuous early rush back to the Capital. Only official parents with chil- dren sttending local schools will be hete for the opening in mid or late September. Washington is blessed—socially spesk ing—beyond any other city of the country, for the program is a well de- fined one, extending from the White House to the lesser ranks of the official world, and the magnitude of the func- tions depends wholly upon the tastes and desires of the hosts The return of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stimson, ow en voyage to New York, gives happiness and hope for the Autumn season, but no matter how strong the lure of charming Woodley, their Washington home, they ar. apt 0 lnger at their Long Island estate until Iate in the Fall. The Secretary and Mrs. Stimson have had a com- patible party with them during their wisit abroad and returning with them are Capt. Eugene A. Regnier, U. 8. A militery side to the Secretary and the Archibald Butt of this administration and Mr. George A. Morlock, attached t the division of current informetion of the Secretary’s party Americans of every degree of im- portance and unimportance are loud in their praise of the Colonial section of the Paris Exposition and more than enthusiastic about Mr. Bascom Slemp, who in his official cepacity has com- pletely surrounded himself by his friends and sdmirers. Indeed, it Is sald that the one-time adviser to Presi- dent Coolidge has spared no pains in selecting this large Committee on Hos- , who are guests of the Bi- } centennial Committee while in Paris Visitors in New Zealand this season missed the genial vice consul, Gen. William P. Cochran, jr. who spent his boyhood days in Washington, for this enthusisstic diplomatic member of the consular service hied himself off from ‘Wellington to the Scuthern Alps and took Mrs. Cochran with him. It is with facile and graceful pen, sometimes yugged and sometimes as deirty as a ce bandkerchief, that Mr. Cochran | gt White Sulphur. describes for the Foreign Service Jour- nal of the State Department his trips to this section of New Zealand. There are always bright spots in Washington life, and no place has been so popular this season as Hemiock Hedge, where Representative and Mrs. Bloom and their daughter have dis- pensed simple but constant hospitality Last week while Mrs. Stokeley Morgan. whose husband was stationed in Mex- ico Ofty with the American embassy, was their guest they gave a charming little dinner party at which the Am- bassador of Mexico was guest. All dur- ing Mrs. Morgan's restful visit little Juncheon, tea and dinner parties were given for her. Among the newer officials who will add interest to Washington's official zet, and to the school roster likewise are Mr. Harvey H. Bundy, Assistant Secretary of State, who assumed his duties in mid-July, and Mrs. Bundy and their five children. Mr. Bundy comes from Grand Raplds and was not unknown to Washington, even be- fore he assumed his duties at the State Department, for he was one time secre- tary to Associate Justice Oliver Wend: Holmes and was close to President Hos ver when he served as assistant cou of the United States Food Adm ton. Mrs. Bundy was Miss Ka Lawrence Putnam, their marriage ing place in 1915, and she, too, has mar friends here.
