Special Dispatch 10 The Tribune
WASHINGTON. Aug. PA social
mil in Washington as August nears an
end is a usual thing, and seldom have
50 many wires been in operation at
tsjs season for coming events. The dis
armament conference, which will pour
hundreds OF important foreigners into
the capital during November, must be
looked after far ahead of the arrival
Of delegates, and while the housing
problem is exceedingly acute, there are
other branches of preparation occupy
ing the State Department and especial
" the Under Secretary of State, Henry
P. Fletcher, in whose hands rests fer
the time being the social welfare and
glory of the city.
banquet and a luncheon, each to
have 400 men and women as guests,
are the largest of the series of enter
tsnments planned By the State Depart
ment with the exception OF Congress
s!onal reception for which $1,000 has
been appropriated, and another of like
Importance. There is luncheon for
two hundred persons mentioned as the
only other hospitality planned by the
State Department, but of course there
will be constant entertaining in the
embassies and legations most concerned
and in the homes or hotels allotted to
the delegations.
The President and Mrs. Harding will
have at some period to entertain all of
the foreign delegates and, of course,
the diplomats in Washington repre-
senting their various countries. As the
weather IS too uncertain and the season
too late for outdoor affairs. it will
probably be q White House reception.
Mrs. Harding .s devor;ng her mornings
to debating to one of the women ste
nographers Of the executive Offices, who
serves her in the absence of Miss Har-
Ian, social secretary TO the Presidents
wife, who is taxing & rest in Canada
Japanese Delegation to
Occupy Anderson Home
1t seems to be almost fixed thing
that the japanese delegation, composed
Of about seventy persons, or at least
the heads of the mission, will occupy
the home Of Mr. and Mrs. Larz Ander-
son, on Massachusetts Avenue. Mr..
Anderson was recently in Washington
and it is supposed that some arrange
ments along this line were discussed.
Having been Ambassador to Japan, and
the beautiful and commodious residence
5elng nlled with art treasures from
Japan, it seems particularly fitting that
tie residence should furnish the home
Tor the heads Of the mission, or at
least some of them.
Undoubtedly the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Letter, on Dupont Circle,
and Only block and half removed
srom the Anderson home. will be
sought for the British heads. The
aouse has not been kept up with any
degree Of elegance since the death Of
Mrs. L. q. Letter. and has seldom been
occupied by the family. During the
world War it was given over to Brit
sh officers who remained there long
after the armistice was signed
That Mrs. Harding is arranging to
carry out the winters Official social
program in full cannot be doubted, for
every possible detail requiring time is
oeing fully arranged. She has been
more lavish in the use of flowers than
any mistress the White House has had
