Fashion Predictions For Spring From
Very Reliable Source.
A fashion prediction from reliable
source for early spring is as follows;
High waist lines will be the mark of
all dresses. and not few coats will be
long and rather directoire in cut with
wide revers and waist bands. and some
will be made in striped materials. The
skirts will be still short and not wide.

" ASHlNGTON.-Wa So
w cial season Is in full swing and
the big balls. the Official receptions
and state dinners at the White House
now follow one another In bewildering
rapidity.
A tradition, well-nigh as old as the
republic itself, prescribes the four
official receptions at the White House
OF which the first is given for the
diplomatic corps, the second for the
Supreme court, the third for the men,
oers OF congress and the last for the
officers of the army and navy. Dur
ing President Taft's incumbency of
the White House these receptions
nave acquired significance which
they have lacked for many years. BY
limiting the number of Invitations and
endeavoring to avoid asking the same
persons twice, the receptions have
been made more enjoyable and also
far more brilliant.
State dinners at the White House

Taft will this season add one dinner,
and the reception to congress will ba

of the house, custom which will
likely be accepted as precedent

secretary of state, and following in
order OF precedence gives a dinner
for the President and Mrs. Taft
These dinners will be on Thursdays
during the season. Previous to the

THE bride with the green macaw

last trip up the Washington monu-
ment the other day, can go back home
and boast that she assembled the tall
shaft with the president of the United
States. Of course "John," who was
there as necessary part of the honey
moon, and about dozen old married
people can make the same boast, for
the big elevator was comfortably
filed when the president and secre-
tary Norton, with two secret service
men, came down the gravel walk to
the foot of the monument
The president took one look at the
stone shaft rising to the mist more
than 500 feet, one look at the elevator.

President Goes to Top of Monument

and then said to Secretary Norton, II
think We'll ride up, Norton" It was
Mr.. Taft's first visit to the top of the
monument, although he had lived in
Washington more than ten years.
The president walked to each of the
windows in turn. 1T must be fine up
here on clear day." he said, as he
turned away at last to enter the ele-
vator on the trip down. At the en-.
trance to the shaft the president
paused a minute undecided, and then
went away.
The witness with the green macaw
feather exclaimed: "Oh, John, dear,
I'm glad we've seen the president, but
we mustn't miss the view. Well go
up again tomorrow"
The president strolled to the senate
wing of the capitol. The elevator man
took him down in the basement and
he next made his first tour of inspec-

passage. After having lived in Wash

Social Gayeties Are in Full Swing

President and his wife and the cab
met members and their wives. Meet
ing the same small set of persons nine
times during every winter proved q
bit dull for all the guests. and when
Mrs. Roosevelt signif1ed that she
would be glad If each cabinet hostess
should ask whomever she chose when
dining the President. there was gen.
eral rejoicing.
AT home" days Of the women Of the
official circle are also regulated by
precedent. Society, for instance, has
long accepted Wednesday as the day
on which calls shall be made upon the
wife of the vice-president, the wives
Of the cabinet members and at the
home Of the speaker Of the house of
representatives. Custom has likewise
appointed Monday as the official re-
ception day for the wives of the mem,
bers of the judiciary, Tuesday for the
wives of the representatives in con.
gress and Thursday as the day on
which calls shall be made upon the
wives of senator's.
The burden Of official calling falls
most heavily upon the wife of the rep
resentative in congress, who, If she be
minded to fulfill her social obligations
to the letter Of the law must call first
upon all those who outrank her. She
must make first calls on wives OF
cabinet officers, Supreme court judges,
senators and representatives who
have served longer in congress than
has her husband. The constantly in.
creasing number Of officials has made
it we'll nigh impossible for the con.
scientious wife of a member of the

ing responsibility and the women
themselves largely solved the prob
| lem by founding the Congressional
club, which made it possible for the

of Joseph G. Robins career in New

year he has had a controlling voice in

two real estate development compa-

A Russian by birth, Robin came to

old then, and is now about thirty
