MADAME BIANCH1,

Rauscher's for their debutante
daughter. Miss Adeline Oxnard.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson's party was
on Monday afternoon-a tea party
at Sis given to Mrs. Edward Doug
las White, wife of the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court, and the wives
Ct the associate justices of that
body. Tea was poured in the Red
Room where Mrs. Wilson usually
receives a small group of guests.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
the President received the justices
of the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Wilson resumed her concert
going again last week. Apparently
she is going to resume her former
custom begun when she first became
mistress of the White House. This
is the first time she has entertained
at box party at concert in that
way since the Presidents Illness.
Margaret Wilson has had a box
party or two at some of the concerts
but she is seldom in town. Last
Tuesday Mrs. Wilson entertained
Lady Geddes, wife of the British
Ambassador, Mrs. David F. Houston,
wife of the Secretary of the Treas
ury. Mrs. Roland Morris, wife of the
United States Ambassador to Japan,
Mrs. Norman II. Davis, wife of the
Under Secretary of State. and Mrs.
Julian James, a prominent member
of the resident set in society.
OF course all eyes were on Mrs.
Wilson. That is usually the case
when she appears, but was partic

tunately. she will be forced TO leave
Washington during the week OF the
drive, called away. ] understand, on
some business relating to her moth

attractive plans before leaving that
her presence will not be missed as
acutely as it would be otherwise.

Not onIN the "grown-up" scouts
are interested in putting the drive
across. but the scouts themselves
are quite excited about it. Betty"
Baker, eldest daughter OF the Secre-
tary OF War, is an eN-scout who is
taking a decided interest in the
drive. Miss Betty is just a bit too

black toque set jauntily a little to

blue ostrich feathers, the only
trimming. Her only jewels were a
splendid string of pearls.
Brilliant Social Gathering.
1t was quite a brilliant social
gathering as all the concerts usual
ly are, but, being the first really i'm

the first occasion after the summer
vacations that society has gotten
together in one place, it was an out

Mrs. Colby, Mrs Palmer, Mrs. AL

Daniels will all vote at home. Mrs.
Burleson won't vote at all, Mrs
Baker will vote by mail and Mrs.

of being very hectic indeed, with

1t seems miracle that Col.
Charles Mortimer has recovered so
quickly from his ugly fall while rid

days ago at the Army and Navy
Club with Mrs. Mortimer looking
quite fit. No one would have
dreamed that he had just narrowly
escaped death or at least a horrible
injury. Those who witnessed the
accident are dumfounded that he is
even alive.
I missed him at the jumps on Sun
day. OF course, it was a bit too
much to expect to see him just a
week after such an accident. As a
matter of fact the usual crowd was

The guests included a company of

A big party was given Monday
