SOCIETY. . White House Records Broken as Roosevelts o Celebrate Inauguration Social Calendar at Mansion Boasts Lunch- eon, Tea and Dinner, Entertaining Thousands of Guests. AGES of the White House social calendar today, are being P marked with a brilliance that will little fade as the pages of history of this country unfold. Four years ago in celebration of the President’s first inaug- wration the mansion boasted within its walls many visitors from every State in the Union. Today when the climax of the inaugural functions is reached there is little doubt that the annals of the mansion will record the largest company ever to be entertained in the mansion on an inaugural day. More than five hundred persons were guests at a buffet luncheon given by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt immediately following the ceremonies at the Capitol. For this occasion the state suite was abloom with fragrant blossoms from the White House conservatories, and the Marine Band Orchestra played lively selections as the guests arrived. Included in the gathering were the Inaugural Congressional Committee, the Inaugural Committee, members of the cabinet and their wives, the governors of the States and their wives, the Democratic National Committee, members of the Roosevelt family, aides and a few close friends of the hosts. Luncheon was served at long buffet tables, laid in the historic east room and state dining room. Mrs. Roosevelt received her guests in the long red corridor and the President sat in one of the formal parlors, where he informally greeted many of the guests. At the tea this afternoon the President will receive the Gov- ernors of the States and their wives and then retire to the presi- dential suite on the upper floor of the mansion. Mrs. Roosevelt will remain during the afternoon with her several thousand tea guests. In addition to the Governors, invited to the tea are members of the cabinet, the household, the electoral college, the Good Neighbor League, the Progressive Republican Committee, the staff, students and alumnae of Todhunter School; the national com- mitteewomen, Young Democrats, vice chairmen of the Young Democrats, the national women speakers, the volunteers and em- ployes at national headquarters and persons who worked with the women's division 1936 campaign, also President Wilson’s cabinet and the widows of members of his cabinet. Mrs. Roosevelt tonight will attend the concert at Constitution Hall, the only social function arranged by the Inaugural Com- mittee. She will have with her in her box Mrs. James Roosevelt, mother of the President, and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. In adjoining boxes will be other members of the President’s family including Mr. and Mrs. James Roosevelt, Mrs. Price Collier, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander C. Forbes, also Mr. Bernard M.

SOCIETY. *¥ B—3 Fashions Attract Interest At the Inaugural Functions Handsome Furs and Smart Ensembles Worn to Capitol Ceremonies and Festivities Following. BY MARGARET HART. T HOUGH raincoats, golashes and umbrellas, sad to relate, were the order of the day, Dame Fashion came into her share of prominence at the impressive ceremonies at the Capitol and will continue to hold her place in the limelight of the round of social functions given in celebration of the inauguration of Presi- dent Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The question as to what to wear that would be appropriate for the Capitol ceremonies as well as forg——Mm the luncheon and tea following was | aptly answered in the smart costumes | of many of the official hostesses. The | majority of the official women donned | their most becoming street ensemble early this morning had planned to appear in the same attire at the tea at the White House this afternoon, hoping not to change their costume until evening, when they will attend the inauguration concert at Consti- tution Hall. However, many a smart hat and pair of slippers must have been ruined in the downpour early in | the day, making several changes nec- essary. Mrs. Roosevelt always seems to find the time to do everything and will| When she left the White House with the President for the special com- munion services at St. John's Church this morning she had on a gown of “victory blue” silk and wool. It was made on simple lines, with a pleated panel at the front, running from shoulder to hem and crossed by rows | of ring quilting. The sleeves are elbow length and the tailored collar is faced with pale gold crepe. With this gown, | which is one of the three she pur- | chased for the inauguration, she wore | & black broadtail coat trimmed with sable and a hat with a narrow brim. At the tea at the White House Mrs. Roosevelt is wearing a handsome gown of “Eleanor red,” a variant of lacquer red, which was created especially for her afternoon reception gown. The | gown is of silk sheer, a floor-length tunic dress with wide bands of gold | Persian-bead embroidery on the tunic | | border and on the collar and wrist- length sleeves. The neckline is V-shape and has & small roll collar. At the | concert tonight the President’s wife will wear a gown of “White House blue” satin, made with a flaring skirt | with a short train and large clips of ivory and crystal at the neckline and belt. The gown has a long scarf edged at the bottom wifh fur dyed to match. | Luxurious furs and wraps were much ‘. in evidence in the official stand as | the ceremonies got under way. Mrs. | Cordell Hull, wife of the Secretary of | her first inauguration. the whirl of parties for the Secretary and herself, is wearing today a most becoming brown costume. The gown is of figured wool and her brown hat has a narrow brim. Mrs. Hull's wrap is of mink. The Vice President and Mrs. John Nance Garner are being accompanied to the round of festivities today by their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Tully Garner, and their schoolgirl daughter Genevieve. Mrs. Garner's ensemble today is all black, her coat of sealskin. Mrs. Tully Garner is wearing a brown costume with a light brown fur coat, and the young granddaughter of the Vice | President has on a sport costume with & tan tailored coat. Mrs. Homer 8. Cummings, wife of the Attorney General, is wearing to= day a smart brown gown with a ve= lour hat to match, and her striking mink coat and small muff to match. The Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Henry A. Wallace have with them for today's events their young daughter, Miss Jean Wallace. Mrs. Wallace'’s costume is a black crepe gown, a felt hat to match, and her coat is trimmed in baby lamb. Miss Wallace has on a smart sport cose tume in a bright shade of green. Mrs, Lucille Foster McMillin, civil service commissioner, is wearing to- day a suit of black broadcloth trimmed with mink fur, which forms a deep cape. Her hat is a small turban of | black and her other accessories core respond. Mrs. Walter F. George of Georgia is wearing a becoming suit of russet green, the three-quarter-length coat having & collar of fox fur. Her hat and other accessories are in brown. Senator and Mrs. George entertained at dinner last evening in honor of Gov. and Mrs. E. D. Rivers of Georgia. Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, has on for the day a gown of black crepe, flecked with gold. The gown is quite simply made and about her throat she is wearing an ermine scarf. Her hat is of black felt with a black feather ore nament, and her coat is of mink. Mrs. Daniel*C.
