cial, and we-aren't having a bad time at all. From present indications President and Mrs Harding are going to continue to head the list of stay at-homes, though things may clear up and permit them a halliday or two later. All of the Presidents cabinet With the exception of the Secretary of the Navy, Edwin Denby. who Is on his way home now from a trip to the orient are sticking close to their desks, too. and most of their wives are sticking with them the greater part Of the season. Only the diplo- mats are conspicuous by their ab-
 senoe. When the French Ambassa- dor and Mme. Jusserand leave in a few days for France there will be only three envoys of that rank in this country and most Of those won't be in town. The majority of the ann Dassadors have gone home for their vacations.
 The different attaches of the va rious staffs. too. are away at some resort, though a few do come and go, Just taking brief holidays. Many of the parties these days have been given Tn compliment to departing members of the corps by way of fare- well.
 All Plans Shattered
 President and Mrs. Harding have had to abandon so many of their plans because of affairs of state that imagine they have stopped plan ming; just hope. They were going to Alaska and couldn't; they were eoinR to the Hot Springs and couldn't. Now they may have to give up their visit to Mooseheart, Ill, where they were

Dawes in Evanston. Ill. The Hardings still hope to make a visit to Newport be- fore the summer is over as guests for
 perhaps day of ths former Cover nor of Rhode Island and Mrs. R. Liv- ingston Beeckman. They will prob ably combine that visit, if they are able to make 1t, with a visit to the Edward Beaie McLeans at Bar Har- Dor.
 Has Time For Play
 Meanwhile. even though "working like dog over the strikes. etc, the President manages to slip in a game of golf occasionally and to enjoy the spacious grounds of the White House and to have an occasional evening VI ihNsiS VI inOtion pictures with a few friends or drive once in awhile. though the President and Mrs. Hard ing seem not to be as fond of motor ing as were the Wilson's they gem eraiiy motor-they stiIl do-every day. However. in spite of the com plicated industrial situation, Pres ident and Mrs. Harding have not abandoned their system of receiving people each day.
 
 Country Clubs Popular The Country clubs are very popu- lar these days; 1t Is there one goes to see everybody" particularly at Chevy Chase. The Serbian Minister and Mime. Grouitch attended the Wed
 nesday evening dance at the club this week and Mime Grouitch looked exceedingly well in a gown of delft blue taffeta with pink flower pat tern scattered over it.
