BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. Opening the official social season this year has far more significance and a bigger thrill than usually attends the first ceremenies, for there is the close dividing line of Congress to consider with many changes in the personnel of both Houses. The cabinet dinner at the White House Thursday night is one of those annual events which is changed only by death or a mighty upheaval-in the Executive family, and without a change from the list of last year the cabinet members and their wives will sit with the President and Mrs. Hoover in the State dining room. Mrs. Hoover has been meeting the cabi- net women in the most charming and almost informal manner for several weeks past, Mrs. Wilbur being her last hostess when she entertained for the t Lady and cabinet women at a luncheon last week Society thought it had a great thrill in a change from the musicale, which usually follows a White House dinner to a dance for which additional guests were invited. However great the dis- | appointment, the fact remains that it | was just a confusion of many cards of] invitation from other sources for the | early season, most every one of which mentioned dancing, while if there is spreads into more pretenticus width as it nears Georgetown, Embassies and legations are opening their doors on Pridays for the at homes, which lend rich color to a Washington season. The new Japanese embassy, with its charming and popular chate- laine Mme. Debuchi, will be the mecca of many who are anxious to see not only the hostess, but the drawing room suite of the very complete new building. The British embassy with its American chatelaine is not far beyond—on Mass- achusetts avenue—and with Lady Lind- |say in much better health than at any time since her official re- turn to Washington, she will be a de- lightful hostess. One so well remembers the old embassy on Connecticut avenue, which for more ghan a half century was the mee place for society who drepped in on afternoons for a cup of tea and delicious toasted muffins or lit- tle cakes and a chat with the chatelaine of the house. _ Congress _brings _the_opening of the (Continued on Page 3, Column 6.)
