The resumption Of diplomatic din.
r,rs bv President Wilson. with the
noa mistress Of tie White House as
sostess. brings out strlkinely the EN-.
rarrassing limitations Of social ae-
tlvity in Washington just now.
The established custom is for the
president to invite the whole diplo.
matte corps at once. Bat With the
var dividing the diplomats into two
camps forbidden by precedent to rec
ocnlze each other. either officially or
socially, the custom has TO be chane.
ed. The sheep are therefore parted
from the goats. There must be two
dinners instead of one. Last Satur'
Cay evening the president and HIS
wife entertained the diplomats repre-
venting the Allies, together with
those OF twenty-eisht neutral nations.
This week the Germanic group has
itr turn And just to be perfectly
fair and impartial about it, the pres
iGent feels obliged to invite all those
reutral diplomats once more to dine
With the Germans. Austrians, Bui-
earians and Turks.
The same problem is faced, in les
degree. by every host and hostess In
Washington It isn't always neces.
sdry to give double parties or recep-
tons. but care must be taken that no
diplomatic representative Of any bel.
heerent nation shall have his dignity
compromised by meeting, at a social
function a representative OF any en-
emy nation. And since most of the
d plomats at Washington are lined
dp on one side or the other of the
liz war. Washington hostesses have
t'cir troubles.
