PICKETT. 1 What may be termed “dead silence” relgns at the White House for the first time since Ma:ch 4, and only the tread of tourists’ feet breaks the stillness in the long marble corridors and resounds through the east room. It is a gay. wholesome ‘American fam'ly that holds sway there and the absence of the prattle of the President’s grandchildren and the laughter of young voices lends a solemn air to the old mansion. Both the President and Mrs. Roosevelt are taking a long deserved rest with Porto- bello Island as their ultimate goal and not until July will they return to Wash- ington. acts of Mrs her varied s Tavern nderful One of the grac Roosevelt before leaving wacation was a trip to Gadsb in Alexandria, to view the w collection of historic furniture from Michie’s Ta near Monti 0. There escaped the eye of the Pirst Lady from old candle molds and candlesticks and lamps to highboys and dining tables, one of which boasted st least six Presidents as having dined from it, and many of the smaller arti- cles particula: held the attention.

With one eye on Congress and the cther on the railroad schedules, the members of both Senate and House have led a rather uncomfortable exist- ence awaiting adjournment. However, the galleries of both houses presented a select social roster as bill after bill was discussed and passed. Looking on with interest was Mrs. Alice Rcosevelt Longworth, who having sent Paulina and her retinue to Cincinnati, feasted her eyes mainly on the Senate. Mrs. William Bayard Cutting watched her gifted son, Senator Cutting, battle for the veterans amendment of which he was co-author, on the floor of the Upper House. Mrs. J. Hamilton Lewis was another keen-eyed spectator frem the galleries of the Senate and not in vears have the solons of both sides of the Capitol had so many interested and admiring spectators Adopting the long existing custom in New York and other cities, Wash- ington society is pricking up its ears announcing early a roster of events for | next season. Christmas week fairly | teems with merry young parties with | some of the most brilliant dances of the | season arranged at that time for the | debutantes. Hearing that Mrs. Joseph Leiter will open the old Leiter Mansion on Dupent Circle next season, it is a foregone conclusion that Miss Nancy Leiter. accomplished ycung horse wom- an and all around athlete and gifted along other iines, will be presented to society. While many cf the coming out parties will be held in hotels where at least three or four hundred invitations must be extended to make it pay the house, other parties will be home events and the companies restricted to the mother’s calling list.
