Mrs. Taft was entertained at a
luncheon on Thursday when Mrs.

to Mobile Tommaso Assereto. and
Rev. and Mrs. +. Ward Denys had
a reception in compliment to the
new pastor of st. Johns Episcopal
Church, the Church of the Presi-
dents, as IL is frequently called.
and his wife. Rev. DIR. and Mrs.
Robert Johnston. DIR. Johnston has
been causing something OF a SEN
sation in Washington; he mas so
favorably impressed such large
numbers. Washington is boasting
now of two exceptional Episcopal
ministers-Dr. Johnston and DR..
James Freeman of the Church of
the Epiphany. Both are credited
with bringing many wanderers into
the church within a very short
time-both are rather new here
and with comforting many who
were desperate with sorrow and
suffering.
Friday not much took place ex-
cept the weekly tea to the Con-
gressional Club when there is al
ways an interesting program. Yes
AaW- -
Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes were
the honor guests at a dinner which
the Minister of Cuba and Nine. de
Cespedes gave at their embassy,
which is particularly pretty one.
Then. of course, there was the fete
champetre at Twin Oaks, the beau
tiful suburban home of the Charles
j. Bells. 1t was given for the
benefit of Neighborhood House and
is an annual event of great social
interest here. Everybody" goes.
Then the Bell estate Is so beauti-
full with its trees. shrubs. rolling
lawn, pool and flowers galore. The
principal event of interest was the
dancing by Paul Gardner Tcher-
nikoff. premier danseur. and his
pupils. Sidney Clark, of New York
and Washington, an accomplished
NJ. Tchernikoff recently opened a
studio here at 1881 1 street, the
old Slater mansion. and is making
great hit in Washington. >An-
other benefit that attracted real
society last week was the presenta-
ton of Edith Wynne Matthison in
TWO outdoor performances of
Shakespeare's las You Like It." in
the woodland amphitheater of the
National Women's Foundation for
the Vassar Endowment Fund. Gar
den fetes are the favorite form of
entertainment right now. But this
one like almost all OF the outdoor
entertainments had to be post
poned. The weather man was the
trouble this time. Man proposes!
NOTABLE GATHERING
AT "As YOU LIKE IT,
There was quite a notable gath
ering at both performances of LAS
You Like It" Mrs. Coolidge went
one day. ! believe. don't rectll
that Mrs. Harding attended. The
Hardings had a strenuous week.
Among other things that Mrs.
Harding did was to receive at the
White House on Wednesday the
delegates to the American Fedora
ton of Arts. which convened in
Washington last week-just an
other of the million and one con-
ventions held here lately. Earlier
the same day all of the seniors in
the numerous girls schools in and
around Warrington were greeted
by Mrs. Harding at the Executive
Mansion. There were girls there
from all parts of the Union and IL
being received by the First Lady
on the eve of their graduation.
Mrs. Harding gave the first of
her Mayflower parties last week
1t was last Friday and the lucky
guests were the ladies of the SEN
ate. They took an afternoon cruise
down the Potomac. Those parties
are always so enjoyable and seldom
does she have a refusal President
and Mrs. Harding seem to thorough
ly enjoy their yacht and took many
weekend trips on 1t last summer,
and whenever they could they
gave afternoon parties like that of
last week. A few. close friends of
Mrs. Harding went along Friday, in
addition to the Senate ladies.
Thursday the President had a din
ner. his guests Including about
forty executives of steel companies.
A conference at the dinner table
was INDUCED in concerning the re-
duction of working hours in the
steel industry. Some of the not
ables there were Ebert Gary,
chairman OF the board of the United
States Steel Corporation. and Chas.
NJ Schwab. who holds the same
position with the Bethlehem Steel.
The First Lady looked very well
at the horse show; Ii was Tuesday
that she attended. The President
went, too. of course, and their only
guest was the Secretary of War.
Col. Robert NJ Thompson and Ad-
miral Cary Grayson of the horse
show committee greeted them upon
their arrival at the show grounds,
accompanied them to their box and
sat with them most of the after
noon.
And many stopped to speak a
word or two with President and
MRS. Harding. Among these visit
ors were many children, some TAX
ing part in the show and others
just onlookers. The President
made a great fuss over them and
even lifted several to his knee.
ina Riddles who took part in the
snow had great fun. The Walter
Iuckermans, who were regular at
tendants at the show. where they
mad a box. had three little girls
taking part and every time they
entered a class they brought of
