Quiet of Lenten Season Is Welcomed in Capital Many Prominent in Society Plan to Go South or to Mountains for Less Formal Ga)‘et}': Looking back over the official social season, only three days of which are left, it has been one of the gayest Winters in many years. The prospect of the restful quiet of the Lenten seascn is welcomed by many, though not a few of those prominent in society will go South or to the “mid- way” mountain resorts, where the gayety will be less formal, but none the less gay. The season in Wash- ington is always interesting, with men and women of affairs and acccmplish- ment at every large or small party. This week end is a fitting close to 8 brilliant season with the only woman to make a solo flight across both the great oceans visiting at the White House. The few days' stay of Mrs. | George Palmer Putnam, known better to all the world as Amelia Earhart, have been filled with parties, and she will stay for the annual stunt party of the Women's National Press Club Tues- day evening at the Willard, to which she is asked as one of the honor guests. Mrs. Roosevelt has attended each of these parties since she took up her residence in the White Heuse and will be the guest®f honor Tuesday evening. ©Others who are asked by the club in- clude wives of cabinet officers. diplomats, Supreme Court justices, as well as women of accomplishment in their own right. Tomorrcw, the second anniversary of the President’s inauguration, will be celebrated by the Chief Executive and the members of his official family at dinner. President Roosevelt did away with the custom of dining with each member of his cabinet once dur- ing the Wintes, and this party was something of a substitute and given by the “official family” on that all- important anniversary. Earlier in the day Mrs. Rcosevelt will be the guest of honor at luncheon of Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, wife of the Chief Justice, wives of the other justices of that august body being in the com- pany to meet her. Mrs. Roosevelt's days will continue to be filled, although the official season is closed, as she and the President are close observers of dictates of their church, ‘There has been something of a New Deal in the manner of entertain- ing during the past season and musicales are coming into their own. Perhaps following the example of the First Lady of the Land, it is usual to have a brief program of music or en- tertainment after dinner or luncheon. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury and Mrs. Morgenthau were hosts at such a party last evening, and it has been a popular form of entertainment at embassies and legations for some years, always with a native of the country of the host giving the pro- gram. The Lenten season is the time for concerts and lectures, always for the benefit of some worthy cause, and tomorrow afternoon an hour of Rus- sian music will be given by Mme. Kniagevitch in the home of Mrs. Mary Stewart at 2200 Massachusetts ave- nue. Mme. Kniagevitch will talk of the Russian composers she has known and will illustrate her talk with com- positions’ of those composers, which she will play on the piano. Mrs. Cantacuzene-Grant will present her. Mme. Kniagevitch has been the guest of Mjs.
