MR.. MS DINNER

If society had no grand meetings the past
week it has not suffered for want of things
to talk about.
The difficulty experienced by count and
countess in keeping their income up to their
luxurious tastes provided the juiciest bit Of
gossip this town has had for many a day,
and before that was half exhausted the
elections so completely upset all calcula-
tons that the world has looked very queer.
indeed, to many good people since. That is
the real beauty of Washington. one can en-
joy all the thrilling sensations Of cleo
ton without any of the noise and fluster in
separable from the contest where 1t is be-
ing wagcd. OF the changes 1t will make in
a social way 1t is almost too soon to speak,
for the new folks are not due here for an
other year, and any number of wonderful
things may happen meanwhile. Yet WASH
ingtonlans always feel kindly toward those
in congressional circles who identify them
selves with the city by keeping house. and
some very delightful homes may be broken
up in consequence Of last Tuesdays verdict
at the polls. There have been charming
| hostesses among them, and the mention of
their names coupled with the fact Of their
contemplated absence has brought to the
surface the high regard in which they are
held and sincere regret at their departure.
Especially Is this true OF such women as
Mrs. Outhwaite. whose home was such a
pleasant one, and who has endeared herself
| to such wide circle of friends. Mrs. Tom.
l.. Johnson Is another hostess who will be
greatly missed, but every one hopes that the
family may continue to make the capital
their winter home. Mrs. Springer is another
agreeable lady who enjoys wide acQuaint-
ance in both social and literary circles, and
Mrs. Tracey Is still another whose social
charm is enhanced by her thoroughly I'M
affected manners and real womanliness.
Fortunately in this era of break ups, the
diplomatic changes are not very numerous,
| and what are will not be greatly in evidence
until the LIST of December. In the British
| embassy, Mr.. Cough, whose wife is the eld-
est daughter Of the Earl of Longford, will
succeed Mr.. Goschen as first secretary, but
| is not expected until December. Early in
| next month Sir Julian and family will re-
turn from Europe, where they have enjoyed
a long and pleasant holiday.
Baron and Baroness Hegenmueller Will be
the new host and hostess of the Austrian
legation. The Japanese minister, Mr.. kuri-
no, is not accompanied by his wife, who
remained at home with their young children.
If it had not been for the war; the chances
were that society would have met In the
fine new ball room of the legation before
the son was much advanced, but 1t is
not likely there will be any entertaining
now till white-winged peace settles the con-
troverSy.
