Official Social Program Issued From White House; Dinner to C New House Speaker Will Sit at Table With President February 2—Calendar Is Congested BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT ‘Washington stands in abeyance each | Winter while awaiting announcement | of the social program from the White | Mouse and the moment it is made so- | clety and the trades look up. Station- | ers open up their big stock of cards, | florists prune their bushes, caterers | Jook -over their pantries and silver chests, gown shops—in particular—take oen a brisk air and the entire atmos- phere is weighted with social impor- | tance. Engraved cards are still the fashion among Americans though diplomats often have their cards and | programs printed and engraving takes time. 8o it is for this and a hundred | other reasons that soclety rejoices to- day over the issuance from the White House of the Winter's official sochl‘ program. y‘ An appended noh states that: “As| Tent comes so early this season, the | calendar is very congested. There will be only one reception for the six de- | partments not already included in other receptions.” True enough, Shrove Tues- | day comes February 18 and with the 40 days of sackcloth and ashes, Easter dawns April 5. While neither the President nor Mrs. Hoover are of & religious belief that exacts the strict keeping of Lent, they have a regard for other churchmen and no event of the official program extends beyond Ash Wednesday. ‘The President’s dinner to the Cabi- | met is always first on the offieial pro- | gram and this year comes just one day lJater than the dinmer given for his executive family last season. This brings it on Thursday, December 3, and 8 o'clock is the hour. The Army and vy reception, always considered the most boWtant of the series next to the diplomatic reception, this season falls on Thursday, December 10, just a week later than the Cabinet dinner. Not in many years, even during the World War, were there so many changes in the diplomatic corps, all of which adds to its interest and in some cases to its brilltancy. A new Speaker of the House will sit | 8t table with the President the night | ©of February 2, and at the reception for the Senate and that for the House of Representatives many new faces will appear. The New Year Day recep- tion, as cosmopolitan as the diplomatic Teception is exclusive, comes on Friday and from 11 o'clock when the Presi- dent receives greetings from the diplo- mats, the Cabinet, the Supreme Court and other high officials until the last humble person in line grasps the Presi- dent's hand the event is typical of American hospitality. No feature adds more brilliancy to |ing upon White House pageantry with | White House aides, and Mrs. Boone and | following the | 4:30 to 6:30 o'clock to the Navy and ! | oons through the season. | College and Mrs. William Durward Con- abinet Dec. 3 as much wonder and awe as would the humblest citizen. With the President's military and naval aides there are twenty-four officers in uniform to as- sist at all White House official func- tions. Capt. Joel T. Boone, the Presi- dent's physician, is also on the list of Mrs. Train, wife of the President’s naval aide, are the only women whose | names appear on the list, leaving a | brilliant array of detached men to pay court to society | Society might have felt itself in con- siderable of a social slump just now | visit of so many dis-| tinguished foreigners had not the offi- clal social program presented itself for discussion. To be sure there were sev- | eral interesting White House guests, | including the Governor of Porte Rico and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, but there | was no large entertaining for them —just such persons as the President might find interested in them.
