‘Washington, Jan. 26. UM—Appar- ently thers will be few social debts when March rolls around, for the season has been a gay one, With everyone belng invited by everyone ¢ise and the consequent return of compliments. Dinners in particular, have grown in size and Importance | and also in elaborateness of decora- tion. Speaker Longworth who seldom accepts a dinner invitation at this season on account of pressure of husiness in the house, joined !K‘ri. Longworth in dining last week with the British Ambassador and Lady Isabella Howard. With their usual «ood taste the hosts asked no guest:| who would outrank the speaker, and the Swedish Minister and Mme. Eostrom, and the Polish Minister and Mme. Ciechanowski were the only diplomats of their rank at- tending, while from ghe senate were Senator Claude Swanson of Virginia and Senator and Mrs. Key Pittman of Nevada. Representative Edith | Nourse Rogers of Massachusetts. Representative and Mrs. Charles Eaton of New Jersey, Revrele.n?eh tive and Mrs. J. Mayhew ‘Wain- wright of New York were the other members of the house at the din- ner, and conspicuous was Miss Myra Hesse, a noted pianist of England, who gave a program following th2 inner. The Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew W. Mellon, who seldom dines out, was the guest of the Am- bassador of Spain and Senora de Padilla who celebrated the 60th birthday anniversary of King Victor Emmanuel IIL The Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Wilbur were asked, and another important guest was the American Ambassador to Ma- drid and Mrs. Hammond. Senorita Kosa Padilla, 2 daughter of the am- bassador, asked her intimate, Miss Eppes Hawes, daughter of Senator and Mrs, Harry D. Hawes of Mis- sourl, to assist in celebrating the royal natal day. The middle west came in for a dinner party that almost eclipsed the king's birthday dinner, or that for Speaker and Mrs. Longworth, When Senator and Mrs. Charles 8. Deneen of Illinois gave & veritable feast in honor of the Vice Presi- dent and “Mrs. Dawes. The Cabinet room in & Washington hotel was turned into & jungle of palms, fern and flowers, the more than fifty guests being at a table on which were huge oblong plaques of lilies, pink roses, mimosa, buddlea and jonquils, giving a spring-like at- mosphere, Mrs, Deen who is quite conservative but elegant in dress, wore & handsome black velvet gown. The night of this dinner, the Vice President-Elect Senator ~ Charles Curtis—and be it said the two V. Pp.'s are causing & lot of confusion fo soclety in planning its affairs— was entertained right royally by Mrs. TLacon Leander Loose of Kan- eas C'8y. who spends her winters in the capital. Sixty guests graced thiy dinner party and besides the Secre- tary of Agriculture and Mrs. Jar- éine, many of Senator Curtls’ col- Icagues In the senate were invited. The table in the Chinese room of a tashionable hotel was surrounded by & sunken garden with a Califor- fia fern tree in each corner so tall that they did not obstruct the view but formed a canopy-like arrange- ment. A white pagoda in the center of the garden was covered With acacia and surrounded with beds of growing Spanish iris. Tiny fountains bubbling here and there through the foliage finished the picture but not the decorations, for on the cloth were red and yellow roses com- hined with white lilac and asparagus fern, and tall candles burned in tall silver candelabras. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Chandler Christy, the former a favorite por- trait painted in Washington, were ameng the guests of Mrs. Loose, “Ma took back the ex- | proper atmosphere while the also will occupy boxes at the ball. It any section of the country fail- ed to be represented at the Presi- dent's reception to the Army and Navy the matter should be investi- gated by congress, for many mem. | Lers of both bodies of congress at- tended and took with them constit- uents. Gay flags and uniforms es- pecially those of the foreign military | and naval attaches of embassies and : legations who wore court uniforms to the White House, added the Ma- rine band played little but military airs. Wives of officers of both the Army and Navy are noted for their handsome gowns and jewels and as| they accompanied their husbands, | it made the event most imposing | from a sartorial standpoint second only to the diplomatic reception. | While the President and Mrs. Coo'$ige have vet four more cabinet dinners ahead of them they have completed the list of state functions at the White House for the season and the rest of the administraion. Tuesday they will dine with Secre- tary West of the interior and in ro- tation on the Tuesday of each suc- cessive week With the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Jardine, the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Whiting and the Secretary of Labor and Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Kellogg, wife of the secre- tary of the state and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, wife of the speaker, most of the other cabinet women and many other distinguished wo- men from Washington and other cities have accepted the invitation of the Women’'s National Press cluh | to.attend their annual supper and| stunt party, February 14, at the Willard Hotel. Mrs. Coolidge who has several times been the guest of the club, also has been invited. | A streak of lurid color against the social horizon next week wiil be the Bal Boheme given by the Arts club of Washington. The ward- robes of diplomats from all eoun- tries have been drawn upon for na- tive costume though the ball is sup- posed to be Egyptian in tendency. Indeed Mahmoud Samy Pasha, the affable minister of Egypt, has fairly depleted the importers’ shops in New York and elsewhere in his effort to assist in giving the Bal Bo- heme fits rightful atmosphere and he and Mme. Samy Pasha, his love- ly Egyptian wife, will be in Egyp- tian costume, seated in an Egyptian decorated box and watching the Egyptian parade go down the ball room. The rarest of fabrics and Jewels have been gathered in by the minister, and old prints and valuable pictures and books have been lent by him from which to cull costume patterns. Everything will walk the board from King Tut bimself, down through the various ranks to an animated mummy. The other diplomats who go will wear fancy dress, but not Egyptian, feariag some international compli- cation if they wore the native eos- tume of a country other than thelr own.
