WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 20
r. row that the election is out Of
N the way, and speculation has
to large extent given way to
certs.nts, the social season seems TO
be on US with a rush. Last week there
was a charity ball, a brilliant dinner
and dance at the French Embassy, IN
Joint celebration OF the hftieth ami
versary OF the third republic and the
second OF the signing Of the armis-
tice.
This week (while last nights dance
ut TIE British Embassy perhaps was
the climaX) has been gay with
round Of farewell parties for Secretary
Colby; the Secretary of the Treasury
and Mrs. Houston's dinner for the
British Ambassador and Lady Geddes
and the first of the series OF Tuesday
evening dances, to be held at the
Maison Dupont. Next week the first
OF the debutantes will make their bow
10 society and there will be two big
dances.
All this without the White House
taking any active part. a few years
ago one would have said that Wash
ington season without the White
House playing the leading role would
ne a Hamletless performance Of
"Hamlet.' Now, while society is still
waiting to know what. if anything. is

s as yet no indication OF the emer-
gence of the White House from the
cloud of the Presidents illness. Mrs
Wilson has been fairly regular in her
attendance at the concerts. But al
though she heads the list OF pa
tronesses for both the big Thanksgiv
ing week dances, the benefit for the
Episcopal Eye, Ear and Throat Hos
pital on Thanksgiving eve. and the
Navy Relief Associations benefit on
Thanksgiving night, no one expects
that the White House box will be oc-
supied.
Washington, however. was interested
greatly in the fact that the President
and Mrs. Wilson entertained a family
party for the last weekend. Mrs. Nc
-Adoo Miss Margaret Wilson and Miss
Helen Bones were there together for the
first time probably since the President
began his second term. For while Mrs.
McAdoo was still living in Washington
when her father began his second term

ST. LUKE'S HOSPITAL
OPEN TO ALL YOUNG
WOMEN OF FLORIDA

Jacksonville March 23.-In an ef-
fort to make the scope of it's service
statewide rather than local, St.
Luke's Hospital has thrown open It's
doors to the young women of Flor
ida, who would adopt nursing as their
chosen profession. by enlarging its
student nurse school.
While the hospital always has ac-
cepted student nurses when there
were vacancies in its nursing force,
1t never has at any tine been equip
ped to train as many as now. In
addition to the student nurses al
ready in training in the hospital, the
governing board of st. Luke's has
arranged for the admission of thirty
five more young women.
Arrangements for larger student
group were made when Il was found
that many young women Of Florida,
anxious to follow the profession OF
nursing, were being forced to enter
hospitals in the north because of the
somewhat restricted opportunities to
secure training in Florida, st. Luke's
Is the only hospital in the state that
complies with the requirements of the
National Nurses Association, the Red
Cross and the army and navy medical
departments.
Contrary to the general impression,
a college education Is not required of
the applicants admitted, one tern OF
high school being sufficient. This re.
quirement Is in certain instances
waived IL the applicant can show the
equivalent Of year in high school.
Student nurses are put on three
months probation and at the end OF
this time, are paid $40 month, this
remuneration being in addition to-
their room board and lodging.
Applications should be addressed
to the Superintendent of st. Luke's
Hospital Jacksonville, Fla.
