LITTLE MISS MELLON
DAINTY HOSTESS.

Little Miss Mellon. though quite
young to be Cabinet hostess, is the
mistress of a big house on Massa-
chusetts avenue and will probably
entertain for her father. Despite
her youth, however, Miss Ailsa is
dainty little hostess and in
sure to be a popular one. The Secre-
tary of the Treasury quite evidently
plans to entertain extensively for
the place he purchased shortly after
entering the Cabinet, after combing
the city for days in search OF a suit

entertaining. In fact. remember

Miss Ailsa Mellon. at their cottage
at Hot Springs. Va. Again II was
reported with equal positiveness that
the President and Mrs. Harding
would motor down to Atlantic City
for n few days in the snappy new
ear recently purchased at the White
House. II was even added that the
President would probably do the
driving himself. dispensing with the
White House chauffeur. The gos-
sips then declared that the White
House would pursue the policy es-
tablished on former vacation trips
and cruise for a week or two along
the New England coast on the May

President might get a few rounds

SECRETARY WEEKS
ENDS BRIEF VACATION,

Mrs. Weeks is still away. The Sec
retary returned early in the week
from his brief vacation at their
mountain home, but Mrs. Weeks is
not expected back in the city until
October, at least. The big. Sixteenth
Street house belonging to the Sec
retary Of War and his wife promises
to be one of the centers of enter
tanning throughout the winter The
place is really lovely You re.
member II was the house purchased
by Secretary of State Hughes when
he was on the Supreme Court bench
and remodeled under his and Mrs.
Hughes direction to suit their tastes,
/ remember hearing when he return
ed to Washington as a member OF
the Cabinet that he made tentative
overtureS to the War Secretary con-
cerning the repurchasing Of the
house. But either the plan fell
through or Mrs. Weeks did not want
to give the place UP, for the Hughes
family finally purchased the place
on Sixteenth street.
Cabinet families with houses big
enough for entertaining will be in
luck this winter. Or out of luck,
Just as one looks at IL. A great part
Of the seasons entertaining will fall
on their shoulders and those who
do not own houses big enough to
care for large parties will have to
turn to the hotels to do their enter,
tanning.

The only other Cabinet hostess
with a sizable house is Mrs Herbert
Hoover, wife of the Secretary Of
Commerce. The Hoovers pur-
chased, shortly after coming to
Washington an imposing mansion

place purchased by the former
President and Mrs. Wilson, for their

ENTERTAINING TO BE
ON ELABORATE SCALE,

Entertaining at the White House
itself will. OF course. be on an elab-
crate scale, and Mrs. Harding, one
time of Marion. Ohio will be hostess
Cabinet hostesses evidently per-
ceive the fact that next season is
TO be the most trying of their
careers and are remaining out of
town until the very last possible
minute. Mrs. Hughes, wife Of the
SecretarySof State. is the only Cab
met lady to remain in Washington
during the summer, and she has
rested by cutting out practically all
entertaining and entertainments ana

PRESIDENT LOOKS FIT
DESPITE HARD SUMMER.

or course. the President and Mrs.
Harding may fool all the prophets
and decide to spend their vacation
in Washington. with an occasional
weekend cruise on the Potomac. So
far they haven't made an official an
nouneement OF their plans and it's
quite possible that they haven't any
definite ideas on the subject. The
President looks quite fit as 1t is and
while Mrs. Harding is a bit under
the weather she could probably rest
as well in Washington as anywhere
else.
Mrs. Harding will need all her
strength this coming winter. with
the disarnfament conference meet
ing In Washington she Is facing
one OF the most strenuous seasons
confronting new mistress Of
the White House. Her position will
be more difficult. IL anything could
be. than that of Mrs. Wilson abroad,
as she will of a necessity have to
assume the role of hostess instead
of guest.
The White House will be the hub
upon which the many-spoked wheel
Of Washington society will revolve
throughout the three months that
the conference is in session. It is
often charged that the White House
does not as a rule play the role IN
Washington society one would ex-
peet- But this will not be the case
this winter. Entertaining will
naturally be largely official. The
very atmosphere OF the city will be
official. Even the most exclusive
will hesitate before remaining
walled up in their impenetrable
fortresses. Anyone would be fool
ish IL the biggest circus in the
world was going on at their door
and they refused to even peep out
