Visitors From Belgium

with pearls twisted through her blond
hair.
Mrs. Walsh's gown was handsome
one of black jet with wheat pailleted
in steel beads on bodice and skirt. A
dog collar of diamonds and string
of diamonds completed her costume.
After dinner Queen Elizabeth was
shown at her own request some of
the wonders of Mrs. Walsh's recon
struction shop, in what Is normally
the dining room of the great house.
She saw boxes and bales that were
even then awaiting shipment to the
| stricken in her own land.
The next night the Secretary OF
State and Mrs. Lansing were hosts at
| rather smaller but equally official
dinner given in their own home, with
the Marshalls and the entire Cabin 2,
and their wives Miss Agnes WflSrN
accompanying Secretary WilsonE al
the Ambassadors and their wivest, Gen.
Pershing, Mr.. and Mrs Brand Whit
lock end Major-Gen w. NJ. Wright
and Rear Admiral Andrew Long, re-
spectively military and naval attache
of the party.
The dinner was served in the great
| library or living room Ohe Lansings
are the sort of people whose library
| is their living ROOM. Great yellow
and white chrysanthemums were used
in decorations. and the table showed
no wealth of golden service, but beau
| tiful napery, fine china, crystal clear
glass and polished silver. 1t did not
| suggest such uncounted wealth as that
of the night before but 1t was at least
equally effective.
After dinner a few guests were In
vited In to meet the royal party
chiefly the heads of legations or the
charges d'affaires and their wives, and
the assistant secretaries of State and
their wives.
On Thursday King Albert gave a
stag luncheon highly official of course,
and In the evening he and his queen
entertained at dinner at their embassy.
1t was much smaller than either Of the
two other dinners. The guests included
the Marshalls. the Lansings and the
Glasses, Senator Lodge and Senator
and Mrs. Hitchcock, Lord Grey, the
Jusserands, Miss Wilson, the Countess
de Chimay Caraman, one OF the Kings
aides, the Duke Of Brabant and the
| De Carriers.
Royal Couple at White House.
Almost at the eleventh hour Of their
visit their Belgian majesties were en-
tertained, although informally, at the
White House. When word was passed
along that late Thursday afternoon
the King and Queen were to have tea
with Mrs. Wilson and that possibly the
President would be there, too, Wash
ington took heart of grace. The out
look for the Prince Of Wales's visit
ten days hence grew distinctly roster
However, the President was compelled
to greet his guests as he lay in bed.
There had been several other things
in which had not the visit of the Bel
gans completely overshadowed them
society would really have been greatly
interested, including the international
conference of working women hell
under the auspices of the Women;
Trade Union League. of which Mrs
Raymond Robins is the head.
Then there was the Halloween ball
last night for the benefit of the Trinity
Community drive. Mrs. Wilson headed
its list of patronesses and Gen. Perish
, ing agreed to be its bright particular
star. Then too there was the mar
riage this afternoon of Mary Archer
Glass, younger daughter of the Score
tary of the Treasury and Mrs. Carter
Glass, to John Guerrant Boatwright OF
Danville, 1t was rather a private al.
fair-at least as private as a girl car
have when her father Is Secretary OF
, the Treasury. The ceremony was per
formed In the Church of the Covenant
