Curie reached Washington earIy
Friday morning; very early-some-
thing like a. m.-and stayed at
the residence of the Third Assistant
Secretary of State and Mrs. Robert
Woods Bliss. Mrs. Harding acted AS
honorary hostess, assisted by Nine
Jusserand, wife of the French Am
bassador; Mrs. Charles E. Hughes,
wife of the Secretary of State. and

In the company at the White
House Friday were the country's
most distinguished scientists and a
noted group of government officials.
diplomats and educators and many
OF the leading women of the country.
The arrangements were made for the
reception by the New York and Wash

Curie at the National Museum when
the guests included mostly officials
and individuals who were most ac-
tive in preparing her visit. saw
the artist, Franklin Barber Clark,
and his wife there. Seldom has
anything aroused more interest than
this visit of Nine. Curie and the
women, particularly, were clamor-
ing for an opportunity to meet her
some place somehow, but only a
comparatively few had the priv
ilege as Nine. Curie is not strong
and cannot stand much entertain
ing and not anything on a large
scale, more or less public. At the
meeting Friday evening the distin-
guished little woman closed II with
an address. Yesterday Mrs. Edwin
DENLY, wife of the Secretary Of the
Navy, acted as hostess aboard the
Secretary's yacht, the Sylph, taking
Nine. Curie and her party to Mount
Vernon. and they had perfect
day for such trip, warm and
clear. All notable visitors, and
some not so notable, who come to
Washington always go to Mount
Vernon, you know. Luncheon was
served on board and at Mount YER
non the party was entertained by
the regents of Mount Vernon who
were holding their annual session
there. making plans for the care of
the historic spot for the coming
year. In connection with this meet
ing. an agitation is being raised in
Congress right now-also almost an
annual occurrence-to persuade the
government to undertake the up
keep of the birthplace of our first
President. which is now paid by an
admission fee Of 25 cents. Last
night the French Ambassador and
Nine. Iusserand gave a dinner for
Nine. Curie. and today the Polish

of receiving her guests on these oc-
casions. a system which is pleastns &
her guests to the utmost and wnic i
suggests the European system OF
receiving as Is in vogue in the
courts. When a caller enters the
outer reception room he or she is
seated. and then they are an
nounced. one at a time, to the First
Lady, who receives them singly IN
the adjoining room. where she sits
and chats with her l3ne visitor rn-
til another caller is announced,
which gives the first the signal that
her timei is up, whereupon she rises
and bids her hostess farewell. Re-
fore ibis, the First Lady has al
ways received all of the callers In
group. but the new system gives
the personal contact for which the
new administration Is becoming
noted. In this way Mrs Harding
gets really acquainted with her
guests. She does make a charm
ingly gracious hostess.

About decade ago all OF the Amer

~ HOUGH the invitations went out
in Mrs. Harding's name, the
i President received with her just
as Woodrow Wilson used to do when
be was President and they stood un-
der one of the great elms on the
south lawn just about where the
Wilson's used to stand to receive
their guests on similar occasions.
Just as then, tea was served at
Wednesdays party from under a
gay red and white striped marquee
on one side of the lawn and from
long, ,flower-bedecked table on the
other side just back of the receiving
party. The flowing fountain which
formed a beautiful background for
the band and the Washington Monu-
ment in the distance. added much
to the picturesqueness of the scene.
The President and Mrs. Harding re-
mained in their places (though Mrs.
Harding began to look fatigued be-
fore the afternoon was half over)
until the last guest was welcomed
about 7 o'clock. there scarcely being
a break in the long double line until
that time. The line extended all
afternoon from just inside the east

with flowers, among which the red
roses were conspicuous, and over
many yards of lawn TO the receiving
party. Particularly lovely was the
garden: also the honeysuckle-cov-

the lawn below, while others strolled
on into the mansion itself. wander

of entertainment for them, for the
