wAsmNaroN, Nov. 2O.--fornial An
nouncement Of the social programme Tor
the White House was made to-day. II
was the nrst definite news Of the Prcsi-
dents intention to resume h social ac-
~tiyltles which we're suspended In 1910
following the death Of Mrs. Wilson.
The seasons programme will open
with the n-American reception on the
evening Of Friday. January Z. In honor
of diplomats from the Latin American
countries and delegates to the fan-
American Scientific Congress, which Will
then be In session here. This event
probably will mark the assumption by
the next Mrs. Wilson OF the direction Of

take place the latter part OF December.
The President, ard Mrs. Gait. this pro-
gra,nme is believed To Indicate. plan only
a brief honeymoon trip or none at all.
The Pan-Amcrican reception Ia ex-
pevted To be a brilliant anair. attended
by every one who can secure III adn!s'
sion card. Persons familiar with the
conduct of White House social gather
ings predict that the demand for invi'
tations will be heavier than for any
White House reception IN years because
OF Mrs. Cats probable entry rs mistress
of the White House on that occasion.
Nice Judgement REQUIRED.
