Washington, Feb. 18 (M—As the social season nears its end with a mad jumble of dancing, dining and epera-going, there is a general air of hilarity in seciety—and perhapp that is the thing that inspired flor- ists tp turn the usual stately floral decorations always used at'a cabinet dinner for the president and first v intp a novel Valentine piece at l‘losn(.fy Work's dinner the other night. And there's a story attached *|to that. Secrétary Work's dinner, which Mrs. Coolidge was ‘unable to attend because of a cold, was given in the Pan-American Union building, the square table built aobut a’sunken garden in the hall of the Americas, the most stately chamber to be found in the capital. A great heart was built-of red tulips in the center of a bed of yellow tulips, which en- tirely filled the-center of the squate about which thie table was laid. Just off to the left of the president was a fine, fat capid, fully three feet high in native dress, who had flung a. golden arrow into the middle of the heart. = About the board were arranged a square of gold baskets of spring flowers .in_gay colors and standing like sentinels were tall standards bearing aloft huge Brazilian fern, giving a half canopy effect. But Dan Cupid? What became of him? He was there as the table stood ready to receive the president, but he was gone when the guests were all seated, for as many as were querjed on the subject assert that there was no undressed cupid on hand. However, with or without the god of St. Valentine's Day, and matural- Iy one wonders who ordered him re- moved, the dinner was a splendid success, the only thing marring it be- ing the absence of M:'. Coolidge. . o Mrs. Jacob Leandor Loose of Kan- sas, who first came to Washington as the friend of Miss Helen Cannon, daughter of the late -pel‘ker, Jo::g: Cannon, has joined the large g o"w?llthy widows who add their meed of interest to Washington s0- clefy. Stringe to say the greater number of these wealthy widows are western women, like Mrs. Marshall Field, Mrs. Robert R. Hitt, Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh, Mrs. George Mes- ta, Mrs. Delos A. Blodgett, and Mrs. Richard H. Townsend, with Mrs. Henry F. Dimock, Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock, Mrs. J. Borden Harri- man from the east, with a strong touch of gray in their locks but a gay soclal record for each one. The iliness of Mrs. Marshall Field has kept her abroad for a year, but her pink palace on Sixteenth street has had additions and improvements put on it and she is expected back. « e The vice-president and Mrs. Dawes are the most popular of official guests and from now until the end of congress, they will seldom dine at home. Friday night they were the guests of the secretary of war and Mra., Davis, and on next Thursday night the Congressional _club will give a reception in their honor.' On Iebruary 27, they dine with Repre- sentative and Mrs. James M. Beck lof Philadelphia and Mageh 1, thex will dine with Captain and. Mrs. John R. Edie.

British Scientist Says Men, Not Lendon, Feb. 17 (—Which is the romantic sex? No, it/a not the feminine sex, ac- cording to. Professor D. Fraser- Harris, British doctor and scientist. Dr. Fraser-Harris believes that men rather than'women are romantic. In the past, he admits, the ro- mantic eex was the feminine. But taking "“romantic” to mean “artis- tic,” in the fullest sense, rather than “sentimental,” he believes the men of today are predominantly roman- tic. “There was a day,” Dr. Fraser- Harria declares in the Daily Express, “when the feminine sex was the sen- timental sex. That was the time of the sighing, downward-glancing, blushing, fainting young woman— the days of stuffy rooms, crinolines and chaperons . . . “But in the school-girl romantic- {sm is gone, never to return. It was a phase in the life of Englishwomen the repult of a peculiar set of so- clal conditions which came in with Queen Victoria and cannot be ex- perienced again. “As a matter of historical fact, the supreme artists have been men, and no woman has been in their class ‘Women, Are Romantic Sex at all.

Only a fool ‘would dream of blam- ing women that they are not to be found in the highest ranks of the world's artiets, for nature has not endowed them with that palpitating sensitiveness in the presence of beauty, nor with that capacity for convincing aelf-expression which are such characteristically male traits, Woman is on earth for far more im- portant purposes. “Of courseq women can apprecis ate beauty, and many of them ine tensely hate the ugly and the drab} but it is to the masculine mind that beauty of every kind makes fts most insistent appeal. The great artist— the romantic in excelsis—is a man. “It the word ‘romantic’ is taken to mean unconventionaly, a law unto themaelveg, then women are the ro- mantic sex. It is well known, for instance, that they are gamblers taking risks in emergencles which the more cautions male would never take. ! NEW YORK WOMEN INUNUSUALSTYLES Periwinkle ‘Bius to Be Color Yogue of Spring New York, Feb. 18 (M—Minijatures of .favorite dogs of New York so- cfety: cut in metal or wool, ‘adorned hats and costumes at the Westmin- ster Kennel club show at Madison Square -Garden th# week. They were “‘quite the thing." 4 .. " The. perfect ‘“aerial atmosphere” prevailed at the Park Lane hotel, where the aviators’ ball for the bene- fit of disabled airmen was held. Dan- cers in white draperies, to imitate clouds, pirouetted about silver-wing- ed aeroplanes which served as a background, and ‘“Lindbergh sand- wiches” were served. Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip headed the committee in charge. A ¢« o o ‘Two of the prized relics of Colon- fal America which will find promin- ent plaées in a museum on Fifth avenue which New York soclety wo- men plan to build, are George Wash- ington’s periwig and Thomas Jeffer- son’s snuff box:. - They will serve as part of the collection which will re- call’ the early manners of old New York. ¢ o0 “Periwinkls blue” promises to be the vogue this spring. The spring blue effect, it is said, will be carried further with dark blue Kkid gloves with cut steel buckles, two toned blue frocks and blue velvet-trimmed bolero coats. Rilver set sapphire pins are the trimmings. ¢ o o New York women going to Florida are wearing robes with quite color- ful maps of the world.
