SOCIETY REGRETs DEPARTURE
OF RUSSIAN STAFF.
Others for whom many parties
have been given are the Henri de
Bachs. He is-or has been-coun-
selor of the Russian Embassy and
is departing with Boris Bakhmeteff.
These Russians, even IL they are
PERSONA non grata with the Sen
ate, are quite popular with Wash
ington society, which sees them de-
part with genuine regret and are
trying to show them a very good
time by way of a farewell. Last
Sunday the Minister of the Serbs.
Croats and Slovenes gave them a
dinner party-among other things.
SUNDAY GAYEsT DAY
OF BUSY SOCIAL WEEK.
1 believe last Sunday was one of
the gayest of the past seven days
There was the Craigie party for the
Bromwell girl; the Grouitch dinner
for the De Bachs; Mrs. Towner's
reception for the Filipinos; the
supper party at the George Z. Ham
iltons for their son, George, jr..
whose engagement to Miss Marion
Hamilton, of Omaha, was recently
announced-Miss Hamilton Is visit
ing the G. E.'s-and the Mclean
party. The Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge and a number of notables
were at the McLeans. Nero" the
william Fox picture recently
shown at the Lyric in New York.
was shown at this function and the
entire orchestra of the Lyric The
ater was brought down by the Nc
Leans for the occasion. The guests
were seated on the galleries and in
the garden to see the picture
urban home, Friendship"
The McLeans gave similar
party last year and the President
and Mrs. Harding were the leading
guests, but this time they
were again week lending" on
the Mayflower with some of their
"buddies," the Attorney General
Harry NJ. Daugherty, the chairman
of the Shipping Board. Albert d,
Lasker, Speaker of the House
Frederick Gillett, Senator and Mrs.
F. 3. Kellogg, Director of sthe
Budget and Mrs. Charles Dawes
and Jess Smith of the Department
of Justice. President and Mrs.
Harding are using the Mayflower
far more frequently than it has
been used by any President since
it's purchase in the first Roosevelt
administration and nothing could
afford a better or more fitting
change from the general run OF
official life than a few hours trip
upon the water with q few con-
genial souls.
The White House social season
is about over now; no more formal
parties, not even garden parties
scheduled. An occasional May
flower party perhaps and that will
be all. As to their summer plans
President and Mrs. Harding haven't
any. AS time goes on 1t would
seem that the President and Mrs
Harding's chances of getting away
on their much-talked-of Alaskan
trip are getting simmer and SLIM
mer. The President proposes but
Congress disposes. The President
doesn't feel that he can be absent
for any great length of time-he
had expected to be away about
six weeks-until after adjournment
and 1t looks now as though tha,
would not be until the brief
Alaskan summer is a thing of the
past. Unless, as 1 have heard II
whispered, the President just tells
them once more what he wants
them to do by then, meaning Con-
gress. and then walks Off and
leaves them with full RESPONSE
bility on their own shoulders as he
did once before. But I believe the
President has about abandoned the
plan to go to the Coast
Meanwhile the Hardings find the
White House reasonably cool and
comfortable and they don't have
time to get bored and there IL
always the Mayflower.
