of the hosts are generally invited
to them all. The dinner given In
compliment TO the Speaker OF the

The calendar seems to alternate,
dinners and receptions.
Mrs. Harding has already begun to
receive callers by appointment every
afternoon when not engaged other
wise and received several days last
week a number Of ladies OF the diplo-
matte, official and residential circles.
and even a diplomat or two, particu-
larly those who have recently presented
their credentials to the President.
Size began that pleasant custom
almost ImJr ediately after going to the
White House and continued II up
Into the warm weather.
HARDINGs ENTERTAIN
FRIENDS INFORMALLY.
President and Mrs. Harding have
also resumed their nice habit of
inviting people informally and at the
last minute to have luncheon with
them. Usually people who are calling
there for one reason or another
about lunchGon time. Otto II. Kahn.
for example, who was In Washington
for a few days. called to see the
President and stayed for luncheon.
Again william Boyce Thompson.
President Of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, who came to town for
day or two, was entertained by
the President at luncheon informally.
1t was Thompson to whom the Presi-
=

association and II will be placed in
a collection of Roosevelt mementoes
now being assembled.

eiSn service correspondents and au.
thors. entertained at one Of the Sc.
ries Cf such entertainments they have

CHINESE DELEGATES
ALREADY COMING.
Speaking Of China. 1t seems to me
that the vanguard of the delegates
to the armament conference are
several Chinese representatives who
have all eady landed in this country
and are en- route across the continent
to Washington. J.. Tyau. secretary

amonS them and WIZ have charge of

nese Diplomats. He will be assisted

faires in Denmark to take charge
of the information service in co1nnc-
.tion with the conference. DR.. w.
W. Yen. the Chirese foreign min
istcr. viii head the delegation and
will reach this country about the
end OF the month, bringing most Of
the deleEa ton with him. There viii
be about a hundred in the party.
Perhaps the most interesting
caller the President had last week
was the former Vice President,
Thomas Riley Marshall. who with
Mrs. Msrshall is visiting Justice
James Clark McReynolds. While
there he ran across the incumbent
Vice President, Calvin Coolidge, and
several others in official life, all of
whom gave him a warm greeting. |

given in compliment to Mrs. Mar 1

ever, attend the reassembling Of the
Ladies' of the Senate last Tuesday,
an Organization which was formed
by Mrs. Marshall. its first president,
during the war to do war work, and
