The Washington times., 1922-12-10

IN the week In honor OF the dele.
sates to the Central American
ccnferencs were milestones on
the long hard road 10 Mrs. Hard.
ins's rscovsry. To be sure both
were stag partie6 and the Mis-
trees Of the White HOUSE did not
appear at either. although she
has been wont before to "slt
IN" when the President was en-
tertaining groups of distinguished
men, But the two iuncheons
were the first festivities Of any
kind held at the White House
since Mrs. Harding was taken Ill;
and II ID safe to assume that
President HARDING would not
hsvs entertained even for NJ,
CIemencesu or the visitors from
Central America had Mrs. Hard
ins not been well out Of the
woods.
But. although mems parties,
both luncheons were none the less
State functions. The Vice Pres.
ident was st ons--the Clemsnceau
iuhcheon-~with the French am.
basssdor and the Chief Justice.
the Speaker Of the House, the
president pro tenn Of the Senate,
the Secretary Of State and such
other members Of the Cabinet as
are In town and many other
notables. And ct the other party
were Ceptysi American diplomats,
State Department folk OF credit
and reuswn from the Secretary Of
State and the Undersecretary of
State, Mr.. Phillips, down; the
CabinstsAFs. major seherais and
Sdmirsls and asample selection
from the Senate and the House.
ITO meet the. delegates to the
Sonfersncs Of Central American
fepublics"-no single frill omitted
fhat might make tho guests feel
that Uncle ssm delighted to honor
fhem.
Colonel House was not at the
ciemenoesp luncheon. which
seems q pit odd In view Of the
{act that he seems to be acting as
the Tigers -chaperone on his
American trip. ana that Henry
White was--sn4 Gensral Bliss and
Admiysl Denson--as well ~ that
ether onstime American am.
tessador to France. Hugh Wal.
hce.
After luncheon President Hard.
fne took Mr.. Ciemenceau to Mrs.
Hardins's aittihs room. the First
Lady having sxpyesssd 4 desire to

homsnts in animated chat.
