Washington, April 29.-The little
season. has become an im%posingly big
one and this week has been one of the
busiest Washington society has ever
known. The danes of the Loyal Le-
gion, the League of American Pen
Women. the National League of Wom-
en- Voters, the Democratic National
Committee Women are some of the or
CARNATIONS that met here this week
and all were the center around which
much entertainment revolved.
The week opens auspiciously with a
large luncheon party given by no less
a person that General John j. PERISH
ing, for no less a person than Marshal
Joffre and his wife and her daughter.
General Pershing asked a notable COM
pany of diplomats, cabinet members,
senators and representatives, army and
navy officers and members of resident
society of both sexes to meet them.
That and the big fire at the New VIII
lard hotel were the chief excitements
of Sunday. The New Willard, where
so many parties are staged and so
many notables like Vice President and
Mrs. Coolidge, Director of the Budget
and Mrs. Charles Dawes, the presi-
dents physician, and Mrs. Charles f.

and where Daughters of the Revolu-
ton and pen women and others were
staying in large numbers, was damaged

to take place there had to be post
poned or switched to other places. And
that was difficult, for the city is so
full of people and SO many entertain
ments on the books.
