Congressional Club. Capital’s New Is Featured In Spite of Cold Weather Annual Reception of President and Diplomatic Breakfast Hi Hospitable Season. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. | With ardor undampened by cold, wet ‘weather, Washington saw all of its loved #raditions in the way of receptions and New Year cheer and hospitality bril- tiantly carrled out last week, and while perhaps many of the partles were smaller on account of the unfavorable weather, there were history-making potes in each of them. It is wonderful how foreign diplomats cdm fall in line | #nd enjoy the formalities of a demo- | eratic country like ours, for never was | better spirit manifest than both at the President’s annual New Year day re ception and the diplomatic breakfas! @t the Pan-American Union, with the | t Becretary of State and Mrs. Stimson as | the admirable hosts Especially in the beautiful Pan-Amer- fcan Bullding was the scene one of marked brilliancy, the gay note of dec- oration, the splendid program -of the Marine Band Orchestra, the handsome Christmas decorations and last, but not least, the colorful gowns of the woman guests all combining to make that event one long to be remembered. If various countries had & difference existing, it | fwes not manifest there, and the hearty #ospitality was certainly reassuring. ‘Benator and Mrs. Borah, Senator Cap- per and others of the Upper House and Representative and Mrs. Linthicum and Representative and Mrs. Bloom and others of the Lower Mouse of Congress gave the necessary recognition from that body, while & few guests from local soclety were also fmvited. Thursday the President and Mrs Hoover will renew their series of state entertainments, holding their dinner in honor of the No hosts of the mansion have given Washington & better or wholesome picture of Christmas cheer, and that those who were without the gates might also enjoy some of it, Mrs. Hoover had several brilliantly illumi- mated trees on the front portico kept | lighted by night from Christmas eve | until the new year was fully ushered in. | Likewise, the President and Mrs.| Hoover are not yet finished with their | program outside the White House, for, besides some yet unfinished cabinet dinner parties, they are scheduled for the annual reception in their honor at the Congressional Club on the evening of January 13. One really marvels at the capacity of & President and his wife to meet all of their social requirements and yet attend an even wider program of other events. Only recently Mrs. Hoover found time to send & charming corsage bouquet of butterfly roses and maidenhair fern to Miss Martha Lank- ford of Norfolk to wear at her coming- out party. It was an effective touch to her gown of white satin with its crystal bead girdle. Miss Lankford is in the season at a tea given in their Year Holidayk by Brilliancy gh Spots in the sister of Representative Lankford of Virginia. A more charming picture was never seen in the White House than on the night of the Young folks' ball, when history was but repeating itself in ar- | ranging such an event. Strangely enough, most, if not all, of the other | parties given there were for girls, while | Mrs. Hoover’s party was for her sons. | The music from one of the world-famed | Davis orchestras, the decorations, the three-course simple but delightful sup- per were all conducive to show the Pirst Lady of the Land & matchless hostess. | | Not. often have the stately rooms and | halls of the mansion resounded to & program so fitting the times in every way. 5 Cabinet at homes were unus: attended, guests lingering the hotels and homes arran and sofas for the comfort of where many men of affairs sat tet tete discussing affairs of the cc and women lingered over the coffee and tea cups snd chatted on the events of | the passing show.
