Even during & period of official mourning Washington society fairly seethes with social interest, the “under- the-rose” affairs—things that are, but are supposed not to be—filling the calendars quite as in normal times. One | of the few places where this does not appy is at the White House, where the President and Mrs. Hoover system- atically and consistently adhere to the formal rules of the official code for such circumstances. But the President and Mrs. Hoover were more than mere offi- cial acquaintances of the late President and Mrs. Coolidge, their friendship ex- isting before either family went to the White House to live. However, the spotlight could not but #all on the Executive Mansion during the brief visit there of the President- elect, and the visit being one of polit- cal significance, the world had to know a great deal about it. Taking up the threads of their official program with the end of the 30 days of official mourn- ing, the President and Mrs. Hoover will | give their dinner in honor of the Vice President on February 7 and their din- | ner to the Ambassadors and Ministers | on February 11. ‘Washington has been privileged to hear more good music during the period of official mourning than generally falls to a single city in a 12 months, and without outraging any of the ethics of the situation any one may attend a | concert. These notable programs have | given occasion for the meeting of so-| ciety on various occisions within the | past few weeks, and Wednesday there | will be the usual assemblage of well | known folk at the Townsend morning musicale, with Miss Myra Hess and Mr. Hans Kindler on the program. Fol- lowing the music Mrs. Townsend Wwill entertain her artists at luncheon. Looming large on the social program s the benefit ball to be given the night of March 4, when important persons from the four corners of the earth will meet and tread a measure to the suc- cess of the new administration. While the new President will not attend, he bhas promised that members of his household will be there, and with such incomparable women as Mrs. John Al- lan Dougherty and Mrs. John R. Wil- liams as chairman and vice chairman, Tespectively, success is certain. Instead of being & small and early, it will be a large and early event, as it falls on Saturday night. It was a suitable gesture placing Mrs. ‘Arthur O'Brien in charge of boxes, while Mrs. Eleanor Patterson, as chairman of patronesses, will enlist the interest of women far and wide. Senator Hattie Caraway is on the Congressiohal Com- mittee, of Which Representative Ruth Bryan Owen is chairman, and others on this committee include Representative Mary P. Norton, Mrs. Claude A. Swan- son, Mrs. William H. King, Mrs, J. Hamilton Lewis, Mrs. Sol Bloom and Mrs. Cordell Hull. ‘That effervescent touch to each Win- ter's season, the Bal Boheme, the an- nual spectacular show of the Arts Club of Washington, is looming toward a greater success than it has ever had. ary 7. ‘With so many of the balls—and Wash- ington in past years certatinly had a surfeit of them—usurped by Commun- ity Chest work, this one big, colorful affair appeals to the artitstic sense as it never has before.
