fF SON"
Those words are ap-
pearing occasionally these days in
the social columns and tell more of
q story than first appears. They
state that a season IL on and that
things" socially are picking up"
fast. For Instance. the wife OF
diplomat, Mime. Grouitch, the very
popular wife of the Serbian Minis
ter. DR.. Slavko Y. Grouitch, was at
home last Friday "for the nrst
time this season" And the first
charity entertainment OF the sea-
son was given last Thursday night.
And people are giving dinners and
luncheons for the frst time this
season. Every day finds more
houses open and one sees more
people at the different popular no.
tells and cafes at luncheon or din
ner time and the town Is getting
livelier every day; is just about
normal. 1 should say, except for
the unusual inactivity at the White
House and the absence of Congress.
. ALI OF the Cabinet officers have
their wives with them now except
Mrs. Albert Fall. wife Of the Sec
retary of the Interior, who Is still
at their home in New Mexico. No

coming. either; have not even a
general idea, so far as I can find
out. The Secretary has been here
practically all summer at their
apartment at wardman Park Ho-
tel He. like the President. was
disappointed about his trip to
Alaska. No. l forgot. Mrs. Weeks
hasn't come yet from Lancaster.
n. Y. to join the Secretary of War.
Mrs. Herbert Hoover is just back.
after spend ng a week at a Girl
Scout conference in Northern New
York. 1 hear that she is going to
undertake the active leadership OF
Hopkins so ably managed for so
long until her injury in the Knick-
erbocker acc dent; is going to take
Helen Hopkins place. That poor
child. now Mrs. Victor Zelov, Is
gradually getting we'll but It Is so
gradual; she Is still a great sufferer.
Q ECRETARY and Mrs. Hughes
~ are moving into town this
week from "Greystone." in Rock
Creek Park. which they leased for
the summer. Many people are busy
moving these days. The hugheses
maving these days. The Hugheses
Chauncey Lockhart waddell, with
them for a few days last week.
The Secretary. who has put recently
returned from an official visit to
Brazil to take part in the centen-
n al celebration. is already laying
plans for another interesting jour
ney next March. If his official du-
ties permit, he will be a member
of the American delegation to the
Pan-A merican conference to be held
then in Santiago, Chile. This con-
ference will bring together repre-
sentatives of the twenty-one re-
publics comprising the Pan-Ameri-
can Union. and it is realized that
its Importance warrants the Secre-
tary's presence il he can possibly
get away.
DIR. L. s Rowe. Director General
of the Pan-American Union, will
attend. not as a representative of
the United States, but in his official
capacity as the active head of the
Pan-American Union.
Cuba VII be represented at the
Santiago conference by DR.. Carlos
Manuel de Cespedes, who, though
officially credited to the United
States as minister, holds the port
folio of secretary of state in the
cabinet of President Zayas.
Should there be no hitch in the
plans of Secretary Hughes to at
tend the conference. it is expected
that he VIII make the trip to San
tiago on board an American battle
ship. 1t is more than likely that
Mrs. Hughes will accompany him.
Practically everybody in town of
social prominence attended the sea-
sons first charity fete Thursday
night at the beautiful estate of Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Pembroke Thorn, in
Pierce Mill road, given for the
women's Welfare Association when
the bright particular stars were
Paul Gardner Tchernikoff and Eliza
beth Gardiner. whose dancing took
the audience quite by storm. They
put on a ballet, The Pipes Of Pan. 1"
written by the talented wife of the
director of the Washington Opera
Company. Marietta Stockett Albion
I think many went Thursday just
because IL was the first large event
of the season. and knowing every
one else was apt to be there they
wanted to see their frinds once
more. It was good to see everybody
after the long summer. Then Penn
broke Park is so lovely and Mrs
Thorn such a charming hostess! And
then such a night; the moon was
