 Washington, June 17.--Washing- tons tropical temperature has not made any very noticeable impression yet on the round of social events all though they have taken more in- formal angle as it were, and out of-door parties are favored. ot course. All signs point to prolonged summer session of Congress and the ladies of the House and Senate, as a rule are following the example of Mrs. Harding and staying in town with their husbands. just taking oc- casional week end trips. The con gressional club has closed it's doors for the season, planning to reopen again on December 9.
 Parting of Way
 President and Mrs. Harding manage to get away almost every weekend. Some people seem to think 1t Is strange that Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge are never guests of Presi- dent and Mrs. Harding on these May flower trips. It Is not expected that anything will happen to the yacht with President aboard, but if 1t should it would be tragedy to have the Vice President also involved. l don't believe the President and Vice President ever travel together. If they are both expected at the same place at the same time, 1t Is arranged for them to travel by different routes or to start at diffo mt times-on the principle. I suppose that 1t does not pay to put all ones eggs in the same basket.
 Miss Donna Ruth Crissinger, daughter of the comptroller of the currency, had a supper party Sun day in compliment to the guests of General and Mrs. Charles Sawyer; Mrs. Carl Sawyer. Mrs. Lowell Guth- cry, and Mrs Roscoe Mezger, all of Marion. They all came on to attend the dinner which General and Mrs Sawyer gave Monday evening for President and Mrs. Harding. The par ty was arranged to mark the sec ond anniversary of President Hard ing's nomination and as farewell to General and Mrs. Charles Daw es. who are leaving here shortly the general retiring as director of the budget.

 HardinE's Honor Guest
 At the dinner Monday Mrs. Harding looked very well indeed in white gown, not muchly trimmed, but with a skirt draped in the back and with d train cut in one with the skirt. As always, she had sleeves in the gown, fine net ones, that reached half way to the elbow. Mrs. Sawyer was in black lace with suggestions of jet.
 The President wore just his dark blue everyday coat and white flannel trousers. the latest fashion seeming to be the wearing of dinner coats with white trousers for formal. par ties these warm evenings. The style is creating some interest, but why, don't see, for it is not new. Former Senator Ham" Lewis used to fre- quently appear at parties In his for nal evening coat, swallow tail, with white trousers. and often duck instead of flannel. Last summer Prince Bi- besco. the Roumanian minister. and Elizabeth Asquith's husband, wore a dinner coat and white trousers often, and the other evening on Mrs. Thom- as " Walsh's boat party Joseph Davies, formerly of the federal trade commission, wore dinner jacket and white flannels.
 The guests on that occasions were instructed to wear sport clothes. and most of them did. Mrs. Walsh wore
