MRS. WILSON'S FIRST FETE.
This was Mrs. Wilson's first ap-
pearance at a concert this season.
as a matter of fact ii was the nrst
really important concert or the
season. And apparently she Is re-
suming the pleasant custom. estap-
lished early in her regime as Mis-
tress of the White House, of ar
ranging her concert guests to IN
clude each time, one or two OF tne
ranking women Of the diplomatic
corps, cabinet hostess ana pos
sibly one or two other women prom
inent in official life and at least
one representative of the resldent
set, with which she was more close
lv affiliated before her marriage TO
President Wilson.
This time Lady Geddes represent
ed the Diplomatic Corps, with Mrs.
David Franklin Houston. Mrs. Ro-
land s. Morris, and Mrs. Norman
H. Davis from the official set, and
Mrs. Julian James as an "unoffi-
cial" guest.
BLACK SATIN AND sABLEs.
Mrs. Wilson, who is looking ex-
ceedingly we'll this season. had on
the smartest of black satin cape
wraps, with a bit Of a sable neck
piece and a becoming hat with olue

Blanche Beresforo, was seated just
over the way with Miss Boardman,
who also entertained Princess Rad
twill and other guests. Mrs. John
Havs Hammond had a party. also the
Rev and Mrs. F. Ward Denys ana
people in the boxes were bowing 10
friends all over the house.
A wonderful program the Ne"
York Orchestra put on, with kreis-
Ter at his best. And Pavlowa Is

didn't quite come UP to expecta-
tions-certainly not until the las.
group OF selections. when some ol
the dancers supporting company
seemed to wake up and put into
their work the fire and dash. the
spontaneity and inspiration which
seemed rather lacking in the carrier
part Of the performance.
l got in just before the curtain
went up yesterday afternoon and
apparently the ushers had all gone
into retreat or on strike. Three or
