~ when the new administration
takes hold. There will be
many new faces at the functions In
the national capital from then on for
a period Of four years. Women already
well known socially and some unheard
of outside their own local spheres Will
entertain and be entertained, and new
leaders will take up the social reina.
Interest In these radical changes CEN
tiers in the new FIRST lady Of the land"
How will Mrs. Woodrow Wilson fill
the role Of a presidents wife7 That
question is being asked In Dupont cir
Gle, Massachusetts, and Connecticut ave-
nues and elsewhere within the zone Of
Washington's socially elect.
That Mrs. Wilson is admirably fitted
for the part is acknowledged on all
hands, and Mrs. Richard III. Townsend,
the leader Of the smart set in Washing
ton, predicts a brilliant regime for the
Wilson administration. Mrs. Town
send, In all administrations since her
father, the late Representative Scott
of Pennsylvala, was In the house, has
been chosen to dine with the guests at
the annual diplomatic dinner In the
White House and to form one Of the
party invited to meet the president and
his wife when cabinet members enter

own house not only the presidents
wives, but the chief executives them

therefore, are of some consequence.

THE NEW FIRST LADY"
II IL taken for granted that there WIN
be no great departures from the White
House social calendar. Mrs. Wilson
probably will make use Of the Dolly
Madis"~ gold table service, which Mn.
Roosey elt had done over and which
has been In constant use on state oc-
casions since that time. An innovation
which Mrs. Taft adopted, the custom
OF serving refreshments at all state
receptions, will no doubt appeal 10 the
southern hospitality Of Mr.. Wilson
and be kept up by her.
Mrs. Wilson is quite as devoted to
art as Mrs. Taft IL to music, and a
prominent woman who knows the new
presidents wife intimately says that
one Of the most important moves of
Mrs Wilson after taking possession
Of the White House will be to estab-
fish a presidential gallery. The por-
traits of the presidents now hang In
various parts of the executive mansion
that are used for entertaining
They are in the red room and the
green parlor, while W. cabinets in the
lower corridor are filed with bits of
china used by former presidents.
Washington artists fully approve of
the change which report has It will be
made by Mrs. Wilson regarding this
collection. The suggestion has been
MADE that the east wing, now a one
STORY corridor surmounted by a roof
garden or promenade. win have a sec.

lighted and planned according to Mrs
Wilson'S ideas. The suggestion Ia made
