IN
terfere. with our social program, And
here's a Presidential swing around the
circle. right in the middle OF the official
season--a thing no other President has
ATTEMPTED, 80 far IS anyone can recall.
But stu IFS not az bad as II might be.
The itinerary has been so. arranged
that the President and Mrs. Wilson arc
due back just In Stlme for the, judiciary
reception on Friday. and It would seem
that there IL scant danger Of the dinner
TO the Judiciary on the following Tues
day belng called of. since schumann-
Heink Is planning to come ell the way
from the coast to be one Of the guests.
Then With the judges properly re-
ostyed and dined and OF the Presiden-
TAI mind. there will come second
''swins." this time through parts OF the
south and back again. for what is gem
orally the worst jam Of all. the Con-
EressiOnal reception. followed by the DIM
nef to the Speaker. So, although some
OF the Cabinet dinners for the President
and Mrs. Wilson will have to be post
poned. notably the Garrisons' dinner,
which was scheduled for February 2,
there seems to be no intention of allow
ing preparedhess-@for possible war or
an imminent caInpaign--to interfere
with state, functions at the White
House. -,
,--- -
The White House dinner. parties, by
the way. have been quite interesting.
with just sprinkling OF common or
gArden' 'ipersOns" to take the edge on
alch gatherings of peFsOnages.. More
over, they have been notable for their
postprandiaI music. After the Cabinet
dinner Louise Llewellyn sang, Miss Mar
garet Wilson'S. protege. .Carmine Fa-
brizio, GTas the artist at the first of the
diplomatic dinners. while Melville Clark
and his talented sister gave a harp re-
cital at the second function for the DIP
lomats:. Then Schumann-Heink is to
come on February s. And have you
noticed that the artists are almost al
waysfhonored guests at the Presidents
board? Perhaps that is due to Miss
Wilson ana her fellowship with musI-
!. clans. or perhaps just to the human
friendliness of the President and Mrs.
Wilson.
