Mrs. Hoover, his mother to California to make all arrangements for the wedding and one of the great joys of her life is when she can have the entire family of the Herbert Hoovers, junior, as guests in the White House. Thursday was a happy day for Mrs. Hoover, when she attended the al fresco Juncheon given for her by Mrs. Lamont, | wife of the Secretary of Commerce, the | table being arranged in the terraced | garden overlooking Rock Creek Park.| There is scarcely & prettier view in Washington than that from the back or en side of the Lamont horae, the | Bridge and picturesque roofed s breaking the uneven forest of Another party for Mrs. Hoover ich also gave an unusual thrill ¢ in the hcme of the Secretary of sbor end Mrs. Doak, a short time 2go, when the guests enjoyed the ups and downs of the rugged terraced gardens sbout the house. An interesting feature of the Doak home is that the versatile | mistress of the house planned it her- | self and directed the building. There | are, of course, some features she might | like to change, since the entertaining in the home of a cabinet officer is ex- acling, and different from that of a private home, but the long living room, | the pretty dining room with its win- dows looking over the Potomac on one side and over the g:nuinely rural scene on the cther affords a rare charm. | It seems almost a shame to shut| guests up indoors to dine at this sea- | son, and even with small gardens one finds & tea table and chairs set out for was the comfort of guests.

She was presented at the court of St. James while Gen. Dawes was Am- | bassador in London. She had been carefully educated and prepared for | such an auspicious event, attending the | Potomac School here after having been prepared by governesses, entering North Foreland Lodge, Kent, England, and also studied at Mile. Arbel's School, at Nelully, Prance. She had the season of 1931 in London when she was pre- sented at court. Ensign Tennent is the son of Comdr. E. Hunter Tennent, U. S. N, head of |nent. Comdr.
