How the world moves oni
Occasionally one stumbles across
q really worthwhile communication
asking a legitimate question about
this or that social leader. Take the
following, for example:
Dear Cholly KnickerbocIer:
I follow your column n The
Washington Times, not because
! am Of society, but because
find in them much of historic in-
terest and instruction IN good form.
May I, after three years con-
stancy, venture to ask a question:
What is the social standing of the
Orson Munns9 Are they related to
the Garnee Mansss, of whom you
speak frequently in your columns9
PLEBEIAN.
It II q somewhat delicate task
'Plebeian" has mapped out for
Cholly. In the first place. Cholly
has no desire to set himself up a.
the arbiter Of metropolitan society.
Therefore 1t Is not for him to say
the Orson Munns are "in" or "out
or society.
However. viii attempt to an.
swer "Plebeian's" queries. First OF
all, the Orson Munns can boast of q
fairly well established place In the
social world. If my memory serves
me Alright. Mrs. Mum halls original.
ly from Philadelphia. She was I'M
Known to society in the City of
Brotherly Love, and the family abode
was, unless am mistaken. on North
Broad street. A very fine respectable
residential thoroughfare. but Ear re-
moved from the social center Of the
Quaker City.
Orson Mum is a connection Of the
Orange Munns-not the famous
Washington Munns. He Ia no rela.
ton to Charles A. Mum. who mar
ried Mary Aston Paul. daughter Of
James w. Paul, Of Philadelphia;
Gurnee Mum, whose wife was for.
merly Marie Louise wanamalter,
daughter of Rodman wanamalssr.
and Ector Mum. They arc sons Of
Mrs. Charles A. Mum. who was
Carrie L. Gurnee.
During the summer seasons Mrs.
orson Mum is a member Of the
colony at Southampton. and she
takes a small part in the social &C.
tivities there. but I should not by
any means classify her a. Q great
social star.

THIS diplomatic reception
= stands out, Of course, as an
event Of historic importance. It
Is the occasion upon which the
nations Of the earth, in the per-
sons Of their chosen representa-
tives, and the few remaining
royalties Of the earth, by their
proxies-for the ambassadors
are supposed to represent not
only their countries but "the per-
sons Of their sovereigns"-make
obeisance to the People. In the
persons Of the duly elected heads
Of the most powerful Of modern
democracies.
Moreover. this was not only the
first state reception Of the Harding
regime but the first diplomatic re-
ception since the world war. which
saw kingdoms rise and fall. govern
ments die, and new governments
born-and some die a-borning."
The last diplomatic reception at
the White House occurred in the
first year Of the Wilson regime-in
January. 1s14-the first Mrs. VIII
SON being the hostess. It gave one
pause to think how much water
yes. verify. and what rivers Of
blood. alas-havs flowed under the
bridges since then.
IN the winter of 1918 there were
no state functions; the White
House was In mourning. The fol-
lowing winter. part Of the usual
program was carried out, but since
one-half Of the Eastern Hemisphere
was at the threats Of the other half
there was no diplomatic reception.
There couldn't have been. The
present Mrs. Wilson had made her
first appearance as mistress Of the
White House, Immediately on their
return from their wedding trip, az
hostess at q "Pan-American recep-
tion"-which replaced the usual
diplomatic reception "A reception to
science az personified by q num-
Der Of distinguished gentlemen who
were holding "Pan-American
Scientific Congress" here at that
time"
There wero two diplomatic din
ners. one with diplomatic representa-
tives of the entente, headed by M.
Jusserand, as the honor guests, the
other with the diplomats Of the
central powers, headed by Won
Bernstorff--and all the neutrals
asked to both! After that the usual
program Of state functions In the
usual familiar sequence.
The next season the diplomatic
reception was passed up entirely.
but the two diplomatic dinners Of
the previous season were repeated,
and the usual program of state
functions followed up to the recep-
ton for the officers Of the army
and navy. Cards were out for
that. Everything was in readiness
for II. when at less than twenty
four hours notice II was called off.
The President had received Ger
many's refusal to abandon its ruth
less submarine program; and while
he was reading II Won Bernstorff
had been handed his passports.
