B2 SOQCIETY. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1932. OCIETY President and Mr_s. Hoover Held Last State Reception of Season at White / House Last Night. HE official social season closed last evening with a large and brilliant reception given by the President and Mrs. Hoover in honor e the Army, Navy and ‘Marine Corps officers stationed in and near the District and their families. More than 2400 guests were received, the gold braid of the uniforms, both of this country and those of the mili- tary and naval attaches of foreign em- bassies and legations, with the gay colors of the handsome gowns, making | & scene of much brilliance. The absence from the reception of the retiring Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Mellon, who soon will leave for his new post as Ambassador to London, | was a matter of deep regret to all, for he has endeared himself to those who know him only by sight quite as much as those who know him _personally. Other absentees in the official family | were Vice President Curtis and Mrs. | Gann, Postmaster General and Mrs. | Brown, Secrétary of Agriculture and Mrs. Hyde and Secretary Lamont. Mrs. Hoover again chose a gown of home weave, this time a heavy black velvet, woven in New Jersey and made into & graceful and becoming gown in Washington. The soft folds of the velvet fell gracefully to the floor and in the back had a pointed train, fold- ing a little to one side. The bodice was fitted to her figure, the V-shaped neckline wide to the shoulders, her drapery which fell over the arms to the elbows and she wore long White gloves, and a dainty chain set with diamonds. She stood beside the Presi- dent, shaking each of the more than 2,400 hands and had a smile for each and every one with some word of greet- ing, her share in making the impres- | sion of gracious host and hostess. Secretary of War and Mrs. Hurley and Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. | Adams shook hand with the hosts in the blue room immediately after their places and went through n room into the east room those e where they stood to greet | next in line. The members of | the Senate and House Committees on | Military and Naval Affairs followed the heads of those two departments and after them came the assistant secre- tarles and the chief of staff, U. S. A. | the chief of naval operations and the major general commandant of the Ma- rine Corps. Gen. Pershing’s Ovation. There were many familiar faces of | ether years in the large company. Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the allied armies during the World ‘War, was in immaculate evening dress, s number of decorations, an everywhere he went was surrounded by an mmsnn? group. Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the Army dur-| ing the World War, with Mrs. March, | also was greeted by many friends, the| general wearing the serviceable khaki uniform with many decorations. A few of the Army officers in the Artillery in the dress uni- forms, which for some time have been worn only by aides at the White House. The uniform is cut like the conven- evening clothes, with lapels faced since the war days, and the return to “dress” uniform is something of an in- ‘mowation. The srangements for the reception followed olosely those at other festivi- and too much praise cannot be siven to those in charge for the ease and comfort with which so large a| made its way in and out and | the many rooms. | Secretary and Mrs. Stimson, who | ‘were immediately behind the President Mrs. Hoover as they came down i Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. | the Secretary of the Interior | Mrs. Wihbur, Mrs. Lamont, wife of | Becretary of Commerce, escorted by F.
