It Is surprising-and yet II isn't
either-how quickly society has read
tusted itself. This time last year So
ciety was deeplyIengsged in war work,
knitting sweaters, socks. mufflers and
what not and nearly all OF the deou-
tantes were working day and night
at the various canteens throughout the
city. A formal debut was very rare
and the city was filed while the sum-
mer resorts were almost deserted;
they were deserted Of men And all
the while we were all heart sick, this
time a year ago. over the military
situation in Europe; things looked
pretty black then,
On all sides every one was making
the greatest sacrifices, willingly CIV
ing up lUxuries, and in many cases
necessities. in order to assist in bring
ing the war to an early and success
ful conclusion.
Lverihd buffers, uniformed footnen
and Wallets were dismissed from the
sumptUOus homes OF the social lead
ers. and not a few of the. feminine
servants were released SO that they
could do their bit" IN the ammuni-
ton factories
French chefs forsook big paying po-
sitions with weIl-known families. and
returned to France, where they en-
listed in the army. Many chauffeurs
sailed for "over there" as ambulance
drivers. So far as entertaining was
concerned. there was none, except per-
haps an occasional dinner party in
honor Of some Of the members Of
the allied commissions, or some official
affairs and not a few OF these dinners
were served by mattresses. The only
large functions were in the name OF
sweet charity or war relief.
A year ago Cne never saw q motor

some quarters it was said society
had become so accustomed to running
large households with a depleted stan
of servants that never again would
conditions be the same as before the

more in doubt than ever as to when
the Prince OF Wales is coming and
just what cities he will visit. One
fact only are We sure OF, and that
is he will come TO Washington. But
Washington society can't make any

of town when he gets here.
The President has formally invited
the young prince TO visit US as a

MRS. WILSON SET
A PRECEDENT.

n HnISGoLNl.
Nine Poincare. wife of the Presi-
dent Of France. is benehting by the
precedent created by Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson while abroad, for King AL
bert, Queen Elizabeth and the Bel
sian nation have addressed to Nine.
Poincare a special invitation TO ac-
company her husband on the occa-
sion Of his state visit to Brussels.
according to the Marouise De Fon-
tenoy.
Until now the wives OF the chief
magistrates of the French republic
have always been left at home when
their husbands were called upon TO
visit foreign courts. Indeed. there
was no place for her in French Of
fcial precedence, ceremonial and
protocole. It was not until Ray
mond Poincare became President
that he insisted that when foreign
sovereigns visited Paris with their
consorts his wife should participate
in their welcome on their arrival
and should drive in state through
the streets of the capital with the
queen or the empress, as the case
might be.
When Nicholas II and his Gar
ina visited Paris during the presi-
dency of Felix Faure, the latter
went alone to receive them and
drove with them through Paris,
sitting with his back to the horses,
with his imperial guests facing him.
Nine. Faure being conspicuous by
her absence. President Poincare
absolutely declined to permit his
wife to be publicly sighted in TINS
fashion.
But he did not see his way to
demanding that she should be in
cluded in his invitations to foreign
courts, and in the eighteen months
which elapsed between his election
to the Presidency andthe outbreak
OF the great war he went to Lon
don, to Petrograd, to Rome. to
Madrid. to Brussels. The Hague.
Copenhagen. Christiania and Stock
holm alone. leaving Nine. Poincare
at home. for the very simple rea-
son that che had not been asked.
1t was held at monarchical courts
that whereas sovereign hOnors were
due to presidents of republics, there
was no provision for any official
rank. precedence or recognition Of
the wives of presidents.
When. however Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson arrived in Europe with neI
husband in December last. the
French protocole. or state depart
ment Of ceremonies which is all the
more strict because it is republican,
felt it necessary to break with for
mer precedents and to create a new
one by according to Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson the same sovereign honors
as those belonging by right TO her
husband. Apparently Mrs. Wilson
didn't wait 70 be invited; she just
naturally went.
The French policy in this connec-
ton was confirmed by the court Of
government in Great Britain. where
the wife Of the President Of the
United States was welcomed with
precisely the same distinction and
hoonors as If she had been a queen
or an empress of royal birth instead
of the wife OF the elected President
OF q republic. She was received at
the railroad station in London by
Queen Mary. who put her on her
right in her carriage during the
state procession through the streets
of the British metropolis. In fact.
Mrs. Wilson was treated in London.

Representative Jas. p. Mann, Of ILL.,

Washington soon after the new Con-

the board was practically promised
