Fleit- zer, it was voted to begin the public concert at the Burritt hetel"on Sun- day, December 3, at ¢:30 p. m. This hour, it was concided, would| most likely be most convenient for the public, the hotel, and not in con- flict with Sunday evening church servicea 2 ‘The program then heard was as| follows: Piano solos—*"Inipromptu” ia A flat by Schubert, and “A. D. 1620," from McDowell's “Sea’ Pictures”—by Walter Arbour; address om the life of Musio Clementi, by Theron W. Hart; ‘cello solo, “Allegro,” from the sonats, Op. 5, No. 2, by Beethv- ven, played by George Hahm, ' with Francis ‘Pomeroy - Parker ' at the piano; ' reading, with piane, “The Nightingale and the Rose,” by Oscar given by Mra.

The address on Clementi referred to the high lights in the life of a most colorful composer, who in dition to great industry in his art became also a music publisher and a plano manufacturer and amassed more than $1,000,000, dying at the age of 80. He lived at the time of Mogart and was his rival; but white ed poor, compared with 'a affluence, the music of Mozart lives while that of Clementi 1s largely out of print and forgotten.

WASHINGTON HOLDS - BRILLIANT SOCIAL Diplomatic Corps Enteruimd_ by| President and Wile Washington, Nov. 17 UM—Wash- | ington’s greatest social show of the year took place at the White House Thursday evening when the presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge gave their annual reception, in honor of the diplomatic corps. It is only for this reception and that of New Year's day that the ambassadors, ministers (and other menof the corps wear their court uniforms and all of their decorations, while the ladies from foreign lands are looked to for some startling , innovations n styles. This was the second of the series of the state entertainments held annually by the president and the first ‘lady, and it was considered the most interesting held in years. A new ambassador from Japan and his wife were among the attractive figures but it was not the first time | that Mr. Debuchi has attended a many, and' & number of foreign ministers were looked upen with keen interest as they made their debuts at a diplomatic reception. Fifty-five countries -were repre. sented and the blase of gold and the white, red and blue of the uni- forms combined with the glittering toilets of the bejeweled women to make the simple but stately draw- ing room suite of the White House look like fairy land. It was in 'marked contrast with the dinner which the president and Mrs. Cool- idge gave last week for the mem- bers of the cabinet, an event al- ways more like a family party. New Fashion Feature Mrs. Coolidge introduced a fash- ion new to Washington in the huge peacock feather fan she carried, the wide aspread of the richly carved sticks . showing hundreds of the richly colored eyes of the plumage. It waa this same fan that lent charm to her simpler gown worn at the cabinet dinner a week ago. Mme. Sze, wife of the minister of China, unfurled a peacock feather fan that was quite as large and as handsome as that of Mrs. Coolidge. There were other huge fans of flat feathers which marked the passing of the long, sweeping plumes of the ostrich 80 much in vogue in past seasons, Debutante Present Miss Elise Alexander, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin R. Alexan- der of Cleveland, Ohio, and great- great-granddaughter of James Ho- ban, architect of the White House, Was among those at the reception. This debutante was brought to Washington for her coming out be- cause of family tradition. When she called on Mrs. Cool- idge at the White House some days 2go, the first lady of the land pre. sented her with a nail from the original roof of the mansion to keep as a souvenir. Miss Alexander was the center of much attraction. She wore the dantiest of white, her befrilled tulle skirt having every ruffle edged with silver embroidery while a long, tightly fitted bodice of white velvet formed-the upper part of the gown. Many Sections Represented Many scctions of the country were represented in the various debu- tantes presented this week, Miss Peggy Tyner, daughter of Mrs. Elonzo Tyner of Chicago and Wash- ington having the largest and most splendid coming out. Mrs. Tyner gave a ball at the Mayflower hotel, The bud and her mother were ac- companied from the White House reception Thursday night—the date of the Tyner ball by several.hun- dred diplomats, officials and resi- dent society folk. The Belgian am- bassador and Princess De Ligne and - Princess Elizabeth De Ligne, and the Turkish and Brazilian am- bassadors were also there and the :zen of the corps as well as officers our own military forces, in uni- form, making the scene reely second in brilliance to the White House reception. | Season’s’ First Debutante The first debutante of the season was Miss Mignon Sheriey, daughter of former Representative Swager Sherley, and Mrs. Sherley of Louis- ville, Ky. Miss Sherley’s uncle, Douglas Sherley, was for many years a scclal leader in Louisville, and the debut of Miss Sherley brought out all the southern con- tingent of Washington society. An- other southern belle had her com- ing out tea dance Monday when Mrs. Chester A. Bnow, presented her niece, Miss Nancy Beale, grand- daughter of the late Thetus Sims of Tennessee, for many years a mem- ber of the house, Dinner Dance Tonight ‘While Miss Marian Jardine, daughter of the secretary of agri- culture, and Mra. Jardine, is the only cabinet debutante this season. Miss Laura Frances Ottis, daughter |of Mr. and Mrs. Francls J. Ottis of 8t. Paul, is here with her uncle and aunt, the Secretary of State and Mrs. Frank B. Kellogg, wha will give an elaborate dinner dance in White House reception, for as a| lesser diplomat he was here some | years ago.
