"Happy Easter" And every one
seems to be quite happy, too, and all
ready for the many festivities which
crowd the social calendars for the
month Of April-and after. People
are flocking back to town. Pres
ident and Mrs. Harding who are
spending Easter at Augusta, Ca. are
coming home in a week with their
party. But so far as they are con-
cerned, there will be no resumption
Of social activity. The White House
Mseen all house-cleaned for them
and q charming new garden OF old
fashioned flowers has been planted as
pleasant surprise for Mrs. hard
ing.
This week has been pretty" quiet
for IT was Holy Week. There were
parties, however: even a party or
Two on Good FRIDAY, mind YOU. But
altogether, it was tue quletest OF all
the year. Society has its interest;
when doesn't Washington society have
its interest. For bit. its chief in
terest was the flapper princess
Princess Santa Borghese OF Italy
who belongs TO the famous family OF
Catherine OF Siena. 10 call her
flapper is really a misleading So
briquet for young woman who is III
this country on lecture tour with
the approval of the Italian ministry
of foreign affairs and more or less
under the aegis Of the royal Italian
embassy, but she is really mere
slip of a girl with bobbed hair and
roguish eyes, sense OF humor AMI
"a proper appreciation Of the joys Of
a Irritation. And she wears her
skirts rather short for the very latest
modes.
Two British AristOcrats Arrive.
Exit the princess. And before she
is hardly gone arrive Lord Glenconner
and Viscount Gage. Aspiring mothers
with marriageable daughters and a
penchant for titles-especially titles
guaranteed by Burke's pcerage-are
keenly interested in these two sprigs
of British aristocracy. They were
first in New York and are going to
California. Lord Glenconner who is
a cousin of the Princess Bibesco. stay
ed at the Roumanian legation-Prince
Bibesco is Roumanian minister. Wis.,
count Gage stayed at local hotel.
Kathleen Norris was here for a few
days too-yes, the authoress. She
and her husband, Major and Mrs.
Charles G.. Norris, have left for New
York after short visit to Mrs. Nor
ris brother-in-law and sister, Com
pSrier and Mrs. c. G. Hartigan, in
tfeir home in Georgetown. Coming
next week are a group Of japanese no.
tables, japanese medical scientists
who are visiting this country on the
invitation of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation in New York. The japanese
minister, Masanao Hanihara, will
give them a dinner party Tuesday
night.
Lord Robert Cecil likewise is COM
ing. The only party already planned
for lin is the luncheon which the
overseas writers will give on the twen-
tieth in his honor. Lord Robert will
be the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
White while in Washington. He is al
most sure to call on former President
Wilson, and, of course, will pay his
respects to President Harding and
Secretary of State Charles Evans
Hughes.
