SO SOCIETY e i o White House Social Program With Brilliant Dinner. HE Winter social season at the | Executive Mansion had an sus- picious start last evening when | the President and Mrs. Hoover gave the first state dinner—en- | tertaining in honor of the members of | the cabinet and their wives. The Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Hyde were the only absentees of lhb‘ President’s officlal family, Mrs. Hyde‘ having mot as yet returned from her home in Trenton, Mo. A number of out- of-town guests were in the company last evening and there was representa- tion of other cabinets. A cheerful crackling log fire, built in the fireplace in the blue room of the mansion, greeted the guests as they as- gembled shortly before 8 o'clock to be | received by their hosts. There was an | unusually “homey” atmosphere prevail- ing in the state rooms, a profusion of flowers and greens artistically arranged adding to the simple beauty of the furnishings and graceful draperies. In | the long red corridor camations to | blend with the luxurious red carpet | filled the vases on the long console table under the painting of President McKinley. The present First Lady has made & study of furniture of early administra- tions, and perhaps has done more to restore historic pieces than any of her recent predecessors. A noticeable ad- dition to the famous east room is an old-fashioned sofa, the base of carved wood gilded, and several chairs to cor- | respond, which have not been used since the White House was remodeled | under President Roosevelt. Pink roses and other cut flowers, mingled with | ferns and vines, presented a charming floral arrangement in the formal re- ception rooms and in the east room, | where a program of music was given following the dinner. | The Marine Corps Band Orchestra, | stationed in its customary place in the | marble foyer, played selections as the | guests arrived and during the service of the dinner in the state dining room | soft echos of the music could be heard. The table was arranged in U shape, and was laid with the historic Dolly | Madison gold set and the more modern | flat service which was dipped in gold during the Harding administration. Tall stemmed compotes held luscious Cali- | fornia grapes, the natural vines en- | twined about the graceful bases, and handsome vases displaying orchid-pink | chrysanthemums and pink snapdragons | were placed at intervals the length and | sides of the table. A green color note 'was lent by stevia trailing on the hand- | some white tablecloth. In the hollow of the U table tall palms and ferns were banked. | ‘The company at the dinner included the Secretary of State and Mrs. Stim- son, the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mcllon; the Secretary of War and Mrs. Hurley, the Attorney General and Mrs. Mitchell, the Postmaster General and Mrs. Brown, the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Adams, the Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Wilbur, the Secre- tary of Commerce and Mrs. Lamont, the Secretary of Labor and Mrs. Doak, Senator and Mrs. James J.
