At the Pennsylvania Society's party. a
sort of Ben Franklin celebration, 1t was
particularly pleasant to witness the re-
crudescence of that organization. which,
although 1t has been In existence for
twenty-five years. might almost as well

Clyde Kellys-Kelly is a Congressman
from out Pittsburg way-and if he's
anything like mate for Mrs. Kelly he
must be live wire.
They made Mr.. Kelly head of the So
ciety. with Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Howard
Reeside on the entertainment commit
tee. and decided shat there was no
earthly reason why the Pennsylvania So
ciety should not be every bit as prosper
Gus and have just as nice parties as
the Ohio Society. The Ohio Society is
the envy Of all the State associations
in Washington. 1t is so fiourishing and
has such awfully good times

They really had a wonderful time.
The Attorney General and Mrs Mitchell
Palmer were there. Mrs. Palmer at the

sionals" and several former Congress
sionals, like Mrs. Reeside. Mr.. and Mrs.
Clifford Pinchot came down from Har-

was the chief speaker on the short, well
arranged programme which followed the
reception and preceded the dancing
While quite q good many deserted the
Willard in favor of the Congressional
Club, the party got on quite well with
out them. and when they returned. as
some of them did an hour or so later,
bringing the Vice-President and Mrs.
Marshall with them for half an hour or
so, the dancing was going merrily on.
The room looked charming with It's frieze
of Southern smilax and with the State
flag and the United States flag adding
their touches of color. And the dancers
were having such a good time that the
floor was still filled when the musicians

Meanwhile at the Congressional Club.
Everybody" again. For the clubs par
ties are gaining prestige from season to
season and rank now with some of the
most brilliant of the winter. The club
house itself is lovely setting for them
with its graceful stairway winding up
into the attractive white ballroom. 1t
certainly lends itself to entertaining.
Mrs. Charles B. Ward Of De Bruce, N. Y,
president of the club, greeted the guests
at the head of the stair and presented
them to the Marshalls, and passed them
down the line into room full of good
looking, well dressed people who seemed
to be having the best time possible.
I don't know when I've seen so many
good looking gowns. Mrs. Ward always
wears good clothes, and her gown Of
gray blue satin of delicate shade. br~>-
caded in silver, was like moonbeam n
its lovely silvery ethereal quality. Mrs.
Marshall was in black---a dull black
satin veiled in filmy black Chantilly
Mrs. Calder-tall and slender, with
that wonderful white hair of hers--is
always a noticeable figure, but Monday
night she had on a striking gown
straight slip of opalescent sequins worn
over a black velvet underdress and fin
ished with a scarlet tulle sash--that
made her doubly so. Then Mrs. Long
worth came in, In fascinating dress of
tomato red and gold brocade. very
Japanesy both in material and in
fashioning. Her only ornament was a
slender chain of diamonds from which
hung maltese cross of diamonds and
emeralds.
Even later came Secretary and Mrs.
Daniels, who had been expected to be
in the receiving party. but had been de-
tanned at a dinner given especially for
them.
Everybody Kept Busy.
That was the way it went all the week.
Everybody had two or three engage
mepts for each evening. not to mention
the afternoons. There were several
parties given for some Cleveland visitors.
Mrs. Prescott Burton, who Is visiting
tho Benedict Crowells, and Mrs. Edward
Finkenstaedt, who has been visiting her
sister. Mrs. Harold Walker.
Mrs. Crowell has given one or two
parties for her guest and they are
having a dinner for her this evening
The Crowells seem to be pretty well
established here, although Mr.. Crowell
resigned as Assistant Secretary of War
early last summer. They bought their
house here and seem inclined to stay

excuse for staying here.
Mrs. Walker has been having some
nice little intimate dinners and cosy
luncheons for Mrs. Finkenstaedt, giving
her n chance to renew old friendships,
for Katherine Birney was a Washing
ton girl. who made her debut here and
was identified with all the activities of
the younger set. Her marriage was one
of the numerous war romances between
