She asked and was given a divorce on ,grounds of desertion. Mr. and Mrs. Sousa were married in West Somerville, Mass.,, July 10, 1924, and kept their wedding a secret for six months thereafter. During that period, she testified. they saved jointly to furnish a home. In the meantime. Sousa bought an automobile and when she asked about their joint savings, “he left in fury.” Attorney J.

The affair was strictly diplomatic, the only guests besides the envoys from 51 countries and their ladies being the chairman of the foreign relations committce of the senate and Mrs. Willlam E. Borah, and the chairman of foreign affairs commit- tee of the house, Representative Stephen G. Porter, No ladies were asked to fill in with the unmarried diplomats, and the 17 extra men gave quite a masculine aspect to the company. Brilliant Dinner The dinner was even more bril- liant than the reception, the men, in court dress, forming & rim of jewels and color about the oblong table which was decorated with pink chrysanthemums and fern, Later a hundred or more addition- al guests were asked for a musicale —Arthur Hackett, tenor and Alberto Salvi, harpist, gave' the program— and the guests who came in after the dinner were recefved by the president and Mrs. Coolidge at the door of the east room where gold color chairs were placed for the company. Women's Press Club Quite out of the line of state func- tions was the party which Mrs. Cool- idge attended earlier In the weck when the Women's National Press club gave their annual breakfast in ler honor. Mrk. Coolidge and her secretary, Miss Mary Randolph, walked over from the White House to & hotel, where they werc met by the manager, who escorted the first lady to her former suite, the one occupied by her when Mr. Coolidge was vice president, and where the officers of the club met her. Coolidge went from room to room to see what changes had been made. The hole through which a family of mice made thelr way into the apartment had been securely stop- ped and Mrs. Coolidge recalled the |the debutantes for practice Mrs. | cunning cavorting of the little fam- ily, which she trained into being pets tor the tamily. Mprs. Coolidge Likes Pets The first lady 18 inordinately fond of pets—doga, cats, birds and other dowmesticated animals and fowls, which accounts for the many birds in the White House and the dogs in the kennels. In a hotel she could have none of these uniess perhaps it might be a bird or two and hence her taming of the mice. Being a concrete, rat proof building, no one could account for the tiny rodents tinding their way up to a wooden basebourd through which they i gnawed. But there they were for an entire season giving no end of amusement to both the president {and Mrs. Coolidge. Likes News| Mrs. Coolidge has always main- tained a friendly relation with news- paperwomen and knows many of them personally. She is gay and free with them in conversation and never afraid of their misusing her confidence. 8he recelved a hand- bound and illuminated book from them which bore the autograph of each member of the club and a gay colonial nosegay of flowers. A pro- gram by the stars of the American Opera company followed the break- fast. Junior League Gircus Under the guidance of Mrs. Wal- ter E. Edge, wife of Senator Edge| of New Jersey, members of the Junior league of Washington are preparing for a soclety circus. Tke Washington auditorium has been chosen and that part of society not in the ring will occupy boxes and seats. Mrs. Franklin Ellis is in charge of patronesses and is mus- tering in the leading society women and Miss Laura Towne, second vice president, is assisting in corraling | each day. > Thrift Shop Is Latest Thrift shop sounds better than rummage shop, and 8o the society women of the capital are busy es- tablishing the enterprise for which attics, top drawers and basements are giving up their treasures. Mrs. Joseph Leiter, Mrs. Ned McLean, Mrs, John R. Williams, Mrs, E. 'Hope Slater, Mrs. James Carroll Frazer and others have sent van |loads of discarded material. The gowns and slippers and other flnery |which graced ball rooms and draw- ing rooms last year will fall into “the stock, while pictures, bric-a-brac. books, jewelry and even some rare old articles will be in the sale. Mra. John Allan Dougherty is in full charge and the idea is to make it a permanent business for the benefit of the Children’s hospital, the Child Welfare society, the Childrens ‘Country Home and the Prenata: Clinic of Columbia hospital for women. Scarcely an important so- clety woman will be left off the list of patronesses and helpers, i Awalt Prince’s Visit Society here is all agog over the expected visit of Prince Gustavus Adolphus, heir presumptive to the {8wedish throne and Mr. and Mrs. |H. Edward Manville, thelr daughter. Miss Estelle R. Manville of New York, and her finance, Count Folk Bernadotte and others of the royal party who will arrive in the capital on the second or third of next month.

Bostrem, who are high favorites with the Iroyal family, will give a dinner fol- {lowed by a reception in his honor.
