While a number of homes have been
opened up the past week and the west end
thoroughfares begin to resume their ac-
customed action, the pleasure resorts have
still an important quota and literally moth
ing is doing here. The White House. as well
as many humber homes, is yet in a state
of upheaval and the opportunities of en-
joying hopes deferred were never better.
This applies not only to residences but to
the places where society is accustomed to
meet most frequently after Connecticut
avenue rambles, but inascnuch as the grand
opening of the season is going to be de-
ferred until very late and the dancing even
ings will be clustered about the holidays
usual, the disappointment is less keen in
consequence Mrs. Roosevelt is having the
troubles of the average householder In get
ting possession of her residence again, while
the wife of the British ambassador must
restrain her Impotence In getting settled
in her future home at the embassy. Cen
eral and Mrs. Draper are among the lucky
ones, who left their house to builders and
decorators early last spring and return
to it very shortly and find it not only fin
ished in construction, but likewise furnished
and ready for occupancy. The new addition
adds another beautiful ball room to the
constantly increasing number attached to
private houses. Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas F.
Walsh did not expect of course to have
their mansion near completion, this happy
date being looked for next year. Mr.. and
Mrs. Walsh have been entertaining very
pleasantly since their return from Colorado
at small dinners.
Already the baZars and teas for charity
or patriotic projects have been arranged
for so far as selection of date and method.
Mary Washington Chapter, to raise funds
for the new hall, has enlisted the efforts of
the most fashionable women at the Capitol
for a bazaar and sale of dolls on the after
noon and evening of December II.
