BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Despite political feuds, hard times and general dissatisfaction over the country on prohibition and similar sub- jects, Wa n will fall into its Autumn social pace with unusual vim, and from the White House through va- rious channels of society there will be unwonted activity. The President and Mrs, Hoover are making the most of glorious Autumn days at their Rapidan camp, but from now on their rural visits will necessarily be interrupted by | arrivals on these shores of great men | from other lands and the incessant | public demand on their time. The Lord Mayor of Manchester and | his charming lady and the imposing mace bearer, who accompanies them to | this country, will create almost as much of a furore in Washington as will Premier Pierre Laval of France when he comes later in the month to pay his respects. The winsome daughter of the premicr, Mlle. Jose Laval, is likely to accompany her father, and, like the charming Ishbellye MacDonald, Who ac- companied her father, the great British Commoner, to Washington & year or two ago, her coming will & thousand times add to the fervor of the welcome for M. Laval. Mrs. Titt, wife of the Lord Mayor of Manchester, will be an inspiration to women in politics in this country, as| she was for long a leader in the wom- en’s suffrage movement in England and in 1909 joined the Women's Freedom League. Before that she had been ap- pointed an organizer for the Women's Trade Union League, under the leader- ship of the great Mary McArthur. As Alice MacLennan in the early part of the World War she became women's trade organizer for Lancashire, Cheshire, North Wales, and the Isle of Man, and the organ jon increased in a brief time from 300 to 10,000, and it was when working in Manchester that she met the lord mayor—1919—and they were married. Just how formal will be the rzception for Lord Mayor Titt is not known, but certain it is there will be a large social movement for the Premier of France and his daughter. But before their arrival Mr. Warren Delano Robbins will have a brisk initiation into official sa- cial life and instead of browsing along tions, the city will indeed be lively. But with all of her manifold duties, Mrs. Hoover Is such a superb manager that she already has the greater part of her wardrobe—a no small task—all ready for the Autumn and Winter sea- son. She recently bought & half dozen dresses from & well known American MRS. THOMAS F. GRIFFIN, Recent guest of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Paul Bastedo, and now at her ranch at Nogales, Ariz.

To be sure, she wears blue at times, but it is in these ruddy colors that the First Lady is at her best. Among the officials, who recently re- turned to Washington, are Representa- tive and Mrs. Maurice H. Thatcher, who have now gone to their home in Kentucky to worry through the Fall campaign. They had just returned from an around-the-world trip when they came to Washington and were loud in their praise of the comfortable Excam- bion of the American Export Line on which they traveled. There were in- teresting passengers on ship board who made the journey ideal and among them Miss Marian Devereux of the Cin- cinnati Enquirer, Miss Dixie Selden. | well known artist in ofls and many of whose landscapes and waterscapes hang in Washington, and Miss Emma Men- denhall, a well known water color artist of Cincinnati. Perhaps most interesting of all, however, was Mme, Esperanza Garrige, sister-in-law of the President of Czechoslovakia and one of the best known vocal teachers in New York. Mrs. Thatcher brought from Egypt, where she and Mr. Thatcher spent some time, two wonderfully beautiful neck- laces, hundreds of years old and of in- tricate and exquisite workmanship. One of them is set in pearls and chrysolite and shows the splendid workmanship of artists in metal of a century ago and the other is set in topaz or a stone of equal color. They also bought some scarabs d-lved from the tombs of Egypt and Mrs. Thatcher wears an unusually interesting bracelet and ring of these treasures. An unusual treat awaits those Wash- ington horse lovers who are so fortunate as to hold invitations from Mr. and Mrs. John Hay Whitney of Langollen, Upper- MRS.
