with pioneer life in the West.
Presumably President Harding

cial. The First Lady's physicians
will not permit her to undertake
any formal entertaining which, in
the case Of the Mistress Of the
White House, usually involves
long standing and considerable
strain, but they feel that an
evening of relaxation and pleas
ant association with old friends
such as she plans tonight will be
beneficial in its effect.
There will be perhaps 100
guests-as many as may be COM
fortably seated in the East Room.
The film to be shown has created
considerable interest in New York
where it was recently released,
and there is a specially arranged
musical program which is said to
De very fine.
PREPARATIONS for the enter
tainment of visiting Daugh-
tiers Of the American Revolution
are engrossing the attention OF
society, and from the time the
Confidential Congress opens on
Monday until it closes, there will
not be a single day without dts
grist of parties. Moreover, a
number of festivities have been
arranged to precede the formal
opening, notably the dinner to-
morrow evening at which Mrs.
Anthony Wayne Cook, a candi-
date for president general, will be
the guest Of honor, and Mrs.
Frederick H. Eaton, Of the Man
haitian Chapter of New York, the
hostess.
Mrs. Eaton's party will be given
at the Willard. and the guests
will include the candidates on
Mrs. Cooks ticket, the outgoing
State officers and the newly
elected State officers Of Pennsyl-
vania and the Manhattan Chapter
delegates.
Mrs. Cook is admittedly strong
candidate with large and en-
thusiastic following and her can
didacy is popular in Washington
despite the fact that the opposition
is led by a Washingtonian, Mrs.
G. Wallace Hanger-because there
are three charming Washington
women Mrs. Larz Anderson, Mrs.
Frank Briggs and Mrs. James
Stansfield, on her ticket. She is
a woman of intelligence and bust
ness capacity, with a friendly,
humanitarian spirit and great per-
sonal charm; and her friends con-
tend that she is eminently we'll
fitted for leadership in the d. A. r.
Her opponents have one objection
which they stress, the claim that
she is too young-but to an unprej-
udiced layman it would seem that
youth and strength would be
considerable asset to one undertake
ing the arduous duties of president
general Of the d. "A. r.
