written down in one corner: and this
series of informal dances has proved
exceedingly. popular. However, she
decided to give her moonlight dance
on Friday instead'9of Saturday--so
that there would be no need to run.
IKE Cinderella, rat the fateful hour OF
midnight consequently .he cancelled her
sunday party. and instead took soma
forty guests down TO Dover House last
night to dine and dance. They took
along famous darke. orchestra, and
II was an exceedingly merry party.
Mrs. Wslsh--like Mrs. John b. Hen
derson-believes that dancing IL good
exercise as well as good fun. 80,
again like Mrs. Hendcrson-she or
ganized q dancing class which has
been meeting at her house twice q
week all winter between the hours OF
9 and o'clock. It's breaking up now
that summer Is coming on: and, by
way of a courtesy to Mrs. Walsh, the
members---somea thirty or-forty strong
are giving a dinner for her tomor-
row evening at the Chevy Chase Club.
Mrs. Henderson's dancing class has
been an institution for years and
years and 1t has always been cousid-
cred a good deal OF a distinction to
be asked to join.
MRS. HENDERsON TO STAY
AT BOUNDARY CASTLE.
Mrs. Henderson, by the way, is not
to move from Boundary Castle, the
big brown stone house out Sixteenth
street way in which she has lived SC
long. known fAr and wide as "the
best business man in Washington
she has developed Sixteenth street
and its environs until it is perhaps
the most desirable residence section
in Washington. And when recently
she built a huge white stone hous
at the corner Of Park road and Six
teenth street, one story had it that
she would occupy the mansion her
self, another that she intended to dis
pose of II to the Government as a
residence for the Vice President
something which everybody admirs
Uncle Sam needs. However, she put
a qutetus on both tales by selling the
house to Mr.. and Mrs. Breckinridzc
Long, who have been living in the
huge Franklin MacVeagh house Just
over the way ever since Mr.. Long
came to Washington as Third Assist
ant Secretary of State.
D.. Inv anu penateS are
now being moved over to their new
home. but they themselves have
packed UP and gone to Hot Springs
Va. and IT Is probable that they won't
settle down in Washington until au-
tumn. Mr.. Long endeavored to come
to the Senate from Missouri. but was
defeated in the Republican landslide;
and apparently he has given up po-
litical ambitions for the present. as
he intends to establish himself in
Washington more or less perma-
nently.
Their friendship with Mrs. walsh
to 60 back a bit-was one Of the
strongest ties forged by the former
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall dur
ing their eight years in Washington.
And the Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge also seem to be developing
a warm friendship for Mrs. Walsh.
She gave a luncheon for Mrs. Coolidge
shortly after her arrival in Washing
ton. A few weeks later there was a
dinner at Mrs. walsh's home. at which
both the Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge were present and Yrs. Cool
idge and Mrs Walsh are frequently
together.
Indeed. Mrs. Coolidge. with Mrs.
Larz Anderson and several other
ladies. was among the guests at the
luncheon which Mrs. Walsh had one
day last week for Mrs. George Har-
vey, wife OF our new ambassador o
Great Britain. This was just before
the Harveys left Washington for
their new post. They were only in
Washington few days, coming
down to attend the dinner given in
their honor at the British embassy.
The "Daffodil Ball. was the weeks
one contribution to the list of charity
Rails which seem to be society's fav-
orite form Of indoor sport. This was
Mrs. James w. Wadsworth's pet pro-
ject and she carr.ed 1t through to
great success with the aide OF the
wives of the members Of the New
York delegation in Congress. 1t was
given to raise fund to build q swim
ming pool at Trinity Community
House in which the Riddles Of the
town may disport themselves the year
round. Naturally the children work
ed like Trojdns to make the party .
successful one. Johnny Wackerman,
