Social Activity Revived With Early Fall Return Of Official Washington Visit of Latin Americans Enlivens Occa- sions—Inter-American Horse Show Events Are Being Eagerly Anticipated. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. With Mrs. Roosevelt making a short stop' at the White House this week, cabinet members returning from | trips to Europe, diplomats both new and old arriving, Washington is as- suming quite a busy air, -and last week it was a real hustling air of social importance. The Attorney Gen- eral and Mrs. Cummings are back in the Capital, fairly bristling with good stories of their travels; other cabinet members will soon be here and will relate to Secretary and Mrs. Wallace, the real stay at homes of the cabinet, their experiences. Sec- retary of War and Mrs. Dern are arriving in the Philippines after a wonderful junket to the Orient, and will not be at home in Washington for weeks to come, but the President will be able to corral enough members for a cabinet meeting on his return. Seldom has an early Autumn in the Capital been fraught with more social and general interest than just now, and while those delightful ge- agraphers and historians of the Latin Americas depart, the town grows livelier each day with entertainment for visiting sportsmen here for .the Inter-American Horse Show, great event along a social line being the dinner and dance next Saturday In the Chinese room at the Mayflower, when the Ambassador of Chile and the military teams of that republic and the United States Army will be honor guests. It goes without saying that Capt. Earl F. Thompson, U. S. A., who bears the palm as one of the Army’s greatest sportsmen, will be | the center of attraction. The horse show dated for October 26, 27 and 28 at the Meadowbrook Saddle Club grounds at the East-West Highway will be by far the most popular event of that period, with dinner parties and luncheons galore planned for the ! visiting horsemen. Back in time for the inter-American show will be the former Secretary of State and Mrs. Henry L. Stimson, who will be domiciled in their lovely old estate, Woodley, and who will undoub- edly entertain there. One of the best and most admired horsemen of the Hoover administration, it was a joy to see Mr. Stimsog, tall, sinewy and brown, dashing through Rock Creek Park or over Maryland or Virginia trails on his blooded mount. Harking back to the first days of this admini- stration, Mrs. Walter J. Cummings will soon arrive in Washington, at the Carleton, and will spend some time during the Autumn months in the Capital. Mr. Cummings was execu- tive assistant to the late Secretary of ‘Treasury Woodin, musician and scholar, and bosom friend of President Roosevelt. Mrs, Cummings, much liked by society, will arrive here at the end of this month or early in November, after a short visit to their son, Mr. Walter Cummings, jr., at Yale. Mr. Cummings returned to Chi- , ©ago after the death of Mr., Woo?.' the | and is the chairman of the Continen- tal National Bank and Trust Co. One finds diplomats here, there and everywhere in the vicinity of Wash- ington and in the States adjoining or near the Capital. The Ambassador of Japan, Hirosi Saito, whose taste in the beautiful is shown by the embassy on Massachusetts avenue, has been making trips through the mountain districts—Blue Ridge, especially, and recently wended his way up into the Poconos in Pennsylvania, stopping at Skytop Club to look down on the | beauties of an Autumn scene such as only nature can paint. At White these diplomats, and wherever they go they are loud in praise of the United States. The debutantes will begin their glad if brief fling in dead earnest next month and are much in evidence even now, and along that line Mrs. William Laird Dunlop, jr, who is the pilot for many, gives to the Associated Press quite an idea of how much it costs to “bring out” a girl. Her clothes for the season may range in cost from a thousand dollars to just anything | taste and fortune suggests, while the debut party cost begins in the few hundreds and goes up into the several thousands. It is a wide range from the young debutantes luncheon party (See ACTIVITY, Page 8.) | Diplomats to Attend Horse Show Saturday Members of the diplomatic corps will be well represented at the Inter- American Horse Show and Exhibition which will open Saturday and con- { tinue through Monday in Rock Creek Park, on the East-West Highway.
