the Country Club on Monday evening
Charming maidens in the hoop skirts
Of the sixties" mingled with dairy
maids OF the present day, while among
the fair dancers there was even no
ticed an old Hawaiian holoku or two
And OF course there were up-to-the.
minute costumes made OF cretonnes
and prints which were quite lovely
and very becoming to the wearers.
The costumes went away back into

when the colonial danes powdered
their hair, and the society beaux wore
wigs. But most amusing of all were
the suits worn by the young men.
Some wore the long tail evening coats
while others were in business suits OF
brilliant-hued calicos.
There were about hundred and
fifty guests at the affair. Among

Mrs. Lansing Charming Member
Of Washington's Diplomatic Circle.
Mrs. Robert Lansing, who was for.
merly Miss eleanor Foster. Ii the frst
woman In American history to whom
has fallen the distraction TO be both
the wife and daughter OF q secretary
a - I...
OF state. The wife Of the recently ap.
pointed secretary Of state. Robert
Lansing, is the daughter of John w.
Foster, who was secretary of state
during the administration of President
Harrison.
The recent honor conferred upon her
husband has not brought the worries
to Mrs. Lansing "a Il might have to
almost any other woman IN the United |
States for since her early childhood
she had been with members of. the
Diplomatic service OF the United

was . social favorite in Washington
and many of her lifelong friends are
Washingfonians. for though she has
travelled far and has lived at various |
times. since her marriage to Secretary
Lansing. though. in Mexico Petrogral, !
Madrid. London and Paris. she has |
always looked upon the city of the |
capitol as her home.
Upon Mrs. Lansing this term will |
rest a heavier burden than usually |
rests upon the shoulders of the wife |
OF the secretary of state, for since
the death OF MRS. Woodrow Wilson |
the cabinet has taken many of the |
social responsibilities which formerly
were borne by the White House. And

European strife going on and the times /
when 1t looks as though the United /
States. too. would take part in. tho
war. il is only with great deal of
tact that the state functions are car
ried on tremendously. Yet those who
have TO take a part in these func-
lions have no fear but that Mrs. Lans.
ing will be most charming and sue
cessful hostess. for her charming sim.
pIicity OF manner has won for her nu-
merous friends. And then, too, she /
