C, Mrs. Hoover Contjnues Active Social Duties Despite Season’s End First Lady to Receive Newspaper Writers To- morrow and Quota Club on Thursday. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. When the President and Hoover held their reception Monday night in honor of the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. they closed their official list of State receptions for the season. It was not a single postponement, not a single interruption or even a slight change in carrying out the well planned program. Mrs. | is remarkable that there | In addition to din-| tion, Daughters of the American Revo- lution, Colonists, Founders and Patriots, Colonial Dames, Soclety of the Cincin- nati and many others have had their | annals almost worn to a frazzle since | gyests Mrs. Leon Mitchell and her son, | Congress decreed that we should cele- Washington's birth. All the States of the Unlon will cele- | brate in the Capital, most of them with | guests last week Maj. Robert L. Eichel- balls, with the event directly under the ners and receptions of tradition, Mrs. ‘Mnx of the Bicentenmial Commission, Hoover has daily received groups of | | the ball on the night of February 22 at women in official life and in organiza- the Mayflower being the most exclusive tions, and has answered the call of |and perhaps the most elegant in the | charity. Tomorrow she will receive s small group of newspaper writers and on TThursday she will receive a small com- smittee from the Quota Club, which will present to her a plate, the replica of the “States Plate” from the Washing- ton collection now in the National Museum. This plate is from the set of china mentioned in Martha Wash- ington's will as “sett of china given to me by Mr. Van Braam,” and called by many collectors the Martha Wash- ington States pattern. Around the edge of the plate are 15 large and 15 small links, the names of the first 15 states being Jettered therein, Vermont and Ken- tucky having been added to the origi- nal 13 States. In the center of the plate appears the monogram, M W., and radiating from the cente representing the sun surrounded wreath of olive and laurel, extend the sun's rays in gold, the tip of each ray pointing to a State. The scroll whidh forms part of this center orname:t bears the motto, “Decus et tutamen sb fllo.” On the extreme outer border of the plate is a serpent in natural rolor with its tail in its mouth, & sym- | bol of eternity. Quota has had the plate reproduced for distribution as its tribute to the Bicentennial. Quaintly | #nough, the names of several States are nisspelled. Just & week until the country at farge enters upon the official Bicenten- nial of the birth of Gen. Washington, but already the Capital is feeling the fire of patriotism, and banquets, din- ners, teas and luncheon parties are given the Colonial phase whenever possible. Rare old laces, brocades and entique jewelry are bing brought from cover with which to bewilder the less fortunate public, and Colonial furni- turs, prints and bric-a-brac ar hav- ing a rebirth and the remotest corners of the country are being ransacked for the beautiful things of the past. It seems fitting that the Bicentennial should enter its official being on the wings of hundreds of balls and masques | city. However, at each ball the de- | scendants of the famed soldiers of the Revolution and their sires farther back in the history of the country than that will don small clothes, cocked hats and | the like, and bow in the stately minuet. Patriotic music of the period 1s being practiced by musicians of today and Colonial dance tunes are hunted out from musty_covers to be reproduced on shining new instruments In fact, the whole country is Colonial mad, en- thused with the music, the arts, the costumes and what not of that period. Society is prepared to dash madly over to Alexandria on the night of February 22 to look in on the Gadsby's Tavern ball, and many will attend at least two of the balls to be given in Washington. It was in Gadsby's Tavern that Gen. Washington attended his last birthnight ball. and. under the careful manage- ment of the Colonial Dames of Virginia, Mount Verncn Chapter, D. A. R., and | the Washington Society, the ball of possible. Interesting bits of news anent this ball sifts through like, “Miss Sallie | Cary Fairfax Harrison will attend, rep- resenting Sallle Cary, wife of George | William Fairfax, and will wear the very gown that belonged to the lovely Sallie Cary.” Other fair women of the day | will represent their grandmothers unto the third and fourth generation, and as for forefathers—they will walk the broad boards of Gadsby's Tavern in knee breeches and velvet coats, silk hose and shining knee and shoe buckles in- stead of in their regulation evening| clothes of black. -— Spamsh Charge d'Affaires To Attend Artist Dinner An informal dinner party for Monday evening is being planned in honor of Senor Vicente Escudero, the famous Spanish gypsy dancer, who will appear for the first time in the Capital City Tuesday afternoon at the National Theater.
