2TAINMENTS TO BE GIVEN AT EMBASSIES FOR DELEGATES

tended to them and that the
coveted bid will be issued to Portu-
gal. Eight important embassy or
legation parties, a party or two at
the White House in addition to its
regular program. at least one party
with the Secretary Of State and
Mrs. Hughes as hosts-there you
have enough entertaining of his
tory-making character to give a
FLIP of interest to any season.
And that is taking no account
of the parties which the other
American delegates to the confer,
ence will undoubtedly give, nor Of
the entertaining which the foreign
delegations will want to do in re-
turn for the hospitality offered
them, nor Of any entertaining
which the Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge may elect to do, nor of
all the private parties which are
sure to be given.
THERE is. however. one phase
of the preparations which has
not been considered. A great many
people are coming to Washington
from other cities for this momen-
tous period. Some are even taking
houses. But one wonders how
many Of them will see any more Of
the festivities than they might from
Gopher Prairie-through the me.
dunn Of the newspapers.
Mrs. Harding Is one Of those warm.
hearted people who wants to make
everybody about her happy, and
suspect that in making up White
House lists as much latitude will be
allowed as properly can be. But Mrs.
Hughes. Mrs. Elihu Root and Mrs.
Oscar Underwood, who, as wives Of
sthe American delegates to the con.
ence. will be by way Of beirg our

but thy are not inclusive in their:
attitude tovard people. And their at
titude is likely, to have considerable
effect on the attitude Of society in
general.
Moreover. the natural limitations
Of space and the size of the official
world, which needs must be very
generally invited, will naturally
tend toward the elimination Of per-
sons who have not got some definite
affiliation with officialdom or with
the conference itself. OF course,
there will be exceptions. There Is a
slpall coterie Of resident folk without
whom latmportant entertaining can
be done in Washington. and certain
visitors from other cities have the
entree anywhere under any condi-
tons. But I fear that a good many
people. who are coming here with
high hopes and visions Of cutting a
swathe, are doomed to disappoint-
