Mrs. Roosevelt Faces Busy Week, Opened By Red Cross Meeting Dinner Parties Are Scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday Nights at Italian Embassy. 4 BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ‘The mistress of the White House re- | furns Tuesday from New York, and| scarcely will she “rest her hat” until | she begins her strenuous program for | the week, receiving the delegates to the | Red Cross Conference at 3:30 o'clock that day, and some time shortly after her arrival she will hold a White House conference for newspaper wom- en. She is especially enjoying a peep | from the south front windows of the| upper floor of the old Mansion for a | glimpse of the far-away hue of pale pink cherry blossoms about the Basin. And on the south front lawn of the White House there is an exquisite va- riety of blooming and budding trees and shrubs, the pink magnolias, with & wealth of blossom on their bare boughs, making a lovely picture. There is charming intimacy. in the little aside acts of Mrs. Roosevelt at these weekly conferences, like that of last week. when, at the end of more serious discussions, she showed the ‘woman. writers the lovely Philippine dresses presented to her by a delega- tion, including Mrs. Key Pittman, Mrs. William H. Larrabee and Mrs. Delgado, wife of a Commissioner from the islands. Then she told of her trip to the Corcoran Gallery last Sunday to see the Biennial Show of American | Paintings. Mrs. Roosevelt’s interests spread far and wide, and among other events to which she has lant her name is the fifteenth annual Butterfly ball, a din- ner dance to be held April 23 at the Ritz-Carlton, in New York, and for which Mrs. James Roosevelt, the Presi- dent’s mother, also is an honorary sponsor. The House of Rest is the beneficiary, and the grand prize is a trip de luxe to Bermuda. * The restful season of Lent? Well, Just see what one single group of Wash- ington soclety folk is doing, and it sounds like the gayest of Midwinter seasons. Dinner parties will be given st the Italian Embassy Tuesday and ‘Wednesday nights. Mme. de Laboulaye will have a musicale at the French Embassy - Tuesday afternoon, when, besides the music, both she and the Ambassador will tell their many guests how much they enjoyed the old French quarter of New Orleans, where they recently visited. Today the Minister of Switserland and Mme. Peter are to entertain at luncheon, and the Minister of Panama and Senora Dona Amelia L. de Alfaro are to entertain in the same midday fashion, and they also have out invitations for a dinner party Thursday night. ‘Tuesday night the Minister of Hungary and Mme. Pelenyi will enter- tain at dinner for the French Ambas- sador and Mme. de Laboulaye, and ‘Thursday Mme. Pelenyi will have a Juncheon in honor of Mrs. Swanson, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, who ) A is recently returned from South Caro- lina. Thursday is also the day chosen by Mrs. Close, wife of the Minister of the Union of South Africa, for a luncheon in honor of Mrs. James Crawford Biggs, whose husband re- cently retired from the office of So- licitor General. Last night the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and Mrs. Hughes were enter- tained at dinner at the Japanese Em- bassy, and the Ambassador of Ger- many, Herr Hans Luther, called his particular men friends about him for a bockbierabend party, and the best of German food accompanied the draughts of the best beer ever quaffed. ~Ambassador Troyanovsky of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has grown a bit wary about unbidden guests to social affairs, and after hav- | ing his well intended hospitality taken advantage of on various ocoasions he profited by the experience of his colleague, Herr Hans Luther, who entertained his fellow members of the corps and their wives, the men and women on his social list and then — quite inadvertently — many citizens on the street, at a musicaie and reception Monday afternoon. When Mr. Troyanovsky gave an evening party Tuesday he did just what every host and hostess should do under similar circumstances. He had the names of the guests checked on the invitation list just after they entered the embassy. Of course, it caused a litle delay, but it made the evening a much more pleasant one for the hosts and for their guests who had the courtesy to send acceptances. But to return to the German Am- bassador—well, whatever delightful memory might have lingered with (Continued on Page 5, Column 1.) Mrs. Hull Returning From Hartsville, S. C.
