SOCIETY IN WASHINGTON
BY CONSTANCE cARRUrHERs

South Carolina. is president, has given
some of the pleasantest dances of the
season. The girls form a lovely group
of assistants at recep' Ions and teas ana
add much to the attractiveness or those
functions. There is hardly a girl in the
congressional set but has her own coterle
of admirers of both sexes, and the num-
Der of good times planned for her are
limited only by the demands on her time
Nor is the popularity of the congress
sional girl limited to congressional cir
Giles. AS a rule she has lived long enough
in Washington to be thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the resident set and with the
young folk of the army and the navy. Inc
crop Of debutantes increases each season,
and the prospects are that Washington
as place for the coming out of the
American girl will become increasingly
popular with every winter. AS a world
capital the governmental city of the
United States has now taken It's place
with the other great cities of the world.
The marriage of Miss Chloe Smoot,
daughter of Senator Smoot of Utah, which
will take place at the family home this
summer, will remove one of the clev-
crest and most charming of the congress
sional girls" from Washington. Miss,
Smoot is distinctly western girl, with
all the bright, wideawake interest in per-
sons and places which distinguishes the
young woman from beyond the Missis-
sippi She has received a splendid edu-
cation and is one of the most intellaGt-
ual young women in Washington. In
appearance Miss Smoot resembles her
clever mother, being vicacious brunette
with expressive dark eyes and charming
smile She has been much admired since
her advent here, and has made herself
extremely popular by her pleasant man
ner and tact.
Miss Ella Siapp is another pretty west
ern girl, whose popularity in Washing
ton is assured. Miss Clapp is the daugh-
ter of the senator from Minnesota, and
is a prime favorite among the younger
set She is much interested in charit
able projects of all sorts, and has taken
leading part in the philanthropies of So
cety Miss Clapp is fond of society and
is an accomplished and talented girl
whose friendlness and aniability have
made her especially well liked. Miss

Washington, July 2-(SpeciaL)-Al-
though Miss Helen Taft is only 10 and
Is still schoolgirl and Furthermore has
not yet made her debut, she will act as
her mothers social aide at the summer
capital at Beverly.
The first appearance of Miss Taft as
representative of her mother at a state
function was at the dinner in Washing
ton to Prince and Princess Fushmi, the
Japanese royal visitors. Miss Taft woie
white, cut decollete and the manner in
which her hair was done up and the way
uhe carried herself had nothing sugges-
tive of the schoolgirl in it. 1t is believed
by some of Miss Tafts school ehums
at Bryn Mawr that the taste for society
this summer will lead in Miss Tafts not
going back to school next year.
II this is the case she will make her
debut early in the winter at a grand
affair given in the White House. I have
heard this mentioned a number of times
and l would not be surprised If 1t should
come to pass. Mrs. William Howard
Taft is not able to attend to the cum
bersome duties mistress of the execu-
tive mansion and Miss Helen could prac-
tically take her place.
- There was once a time in Washington
when many of the daughters of senators
and representatives frankly preferred
their home towns to Washington and
made short visits to the capital only when
Congress was in session. They looked
upon Washington as blase, dull place.
which offered pleasures unwholesome for
a young American girl 1t seemed that
society in those days was for married

The vogue of Alice Roosevelt changed
that greatly and within the past few years
a new style has been set here.
Now many families of wealth who for
merly spent only short time here have
Washington homes and spend less time
In their home towns than they do here.
