ave the little season quite stable
ssnearance and when, after the arrival
X Lord and Lady Mountbatten on Tues
sav the attendant stream of entertain
msnt for them begins, Washington will
h. lust about as lively as it is going to
ss in the next twelve months. The
AMBASSADOR of France and Mime. Jusse-
rand hurried on to Washington after
srr;vins in New York and are now es-
tablished in the Embassy, while the
Ambassador of Belgium and Baroness
a. Cartier fingered on in New York but

Belgian national holiday, Saturday
November H.
The Ambassador OF Great Britain and
Lady Geddes were merely taking a trim

tassay Thursday. Their first really
important entertainment this month
viii be the dinner Friday for Lord and
Iardy Mountbatten. Following the day
os the arrival here of the Mountbat-
tens, as guests of Colonel Robert M.
hosts will entertain a large dinner
eompany for them and earlier that day
Mrs. Lawrence Townsend will give a
tea for the Mountbattens. The arrival
IA Nine. Matthew, who was met in New
York by her husband, the Ambassador
Il Chile, after she had spent the sum-
uer and early autumn abroad, was
also an enlivening element.
During the week the Minister Of
Switzerland and Nine. Peter and the
Minister Of Sweden and Nine. Wallen-
berg came from abroad. Then there
was the resignation of the Ambassador
/ Il italy, who was much liked by the
few who knew him while he was
hsre. He seldom indulged in the So
! dsi life of the capital more than he
vas compelled by official etiquette.
! mother loss was felt in the departure
Count de Chambrun, who only
waited the arrival Of the Ambassador
nd Mre. Jusserand before leaving for
lis new post in Japan.

to reassemble and will soon be back in

10 Washington ON Thursday, and sew
eral Others Of the Cabinet are now in

Mrs. Henry c. Wallace has been the
most active Cabinet hostess this au-
tuinn and not because of any special
social bent but because 1t is flower
time and she has had to do the honors

reception last week in the enormous
glass house in which the governm ent
exhibit of chrysanthemums stand and
certainly a more charming setting
could not have been imagined. Her

the government, including Mrs. Charles
Evans Hughes, wife of the Secretary OF

aunt, Mrs. George Garfield, of Detroit;
Hrs. David Fairchild, the daughter of
and many others.

house and the blossoms named for

never more magnificent. Queen Mary
Of England was one of the stateliest of
the white blossoms, while Mrs. Flor
enee King Harding, while not yet in
It's prime, was equally splendid and of
soft Venetian red underlined with
silver color. The General Pershing
lowered above everything else, and
Mrs. Wallace named one handsome new
blossom the Garden Club of America.

color blossom, but not large, was
