QJINQUENNIAL
VISITORS TO
BE FETED
President and Mrs. Cool
idge Will Receive Dele
gates on May 6
By JEAN ELIOT.

Vention Of the International Coun-
ell of Women, which opens here on
May to continue until May Ia.
For most of the foreign embassies
and legations will extend courtesies
20 their nationals among the dele
gates, who represent pretty nearly
every country of the globe; and
Cabinet officers and other impor-
aant officials Of domestic vintage
are among those who will entertain
Tor the visitors from overseas.
There will, in addition, be as many
parties for the delegates, individu.
ally and in small groups, with resi-
dent society women as hostesSes,
'As may be crowded into the basy
ldays-and evenings-of the confer
.ence.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
will be hosts to the entire confer
tence delegation on wednesday
afternoon, May s, and those of us
who know how heavenly the White
House gardens are at this season OF
the year are hoping that Mrs. Cool
sdge may decide upon an al fresco
Hete rather than upon a conven-
kionaI indoor reception. Somehow
4 can visualize women from the far
corners Of the earth coming to-
kether for an hour or two under
the great trees OF the White House
gardens and going away with a
feeling that something definite had
been contributed toward interna.
Sional comfy.
Mrs. Kellogg Hostess to English
Speaking Group of Delegates.
Mrs. Kellogg. wife of the Secre-
tary of State, will entertain on Fri
day, May 8, for the delegates from
the English speaking nations. in
GLIDING the Warehouses Of Abec-
deem and Temair, president of the
International Council of Women. 1t
will be dove" dinner and Mrs.
Kellogg is inviting a few women
prominent in club life in this coun-
try to meet her foreign guests. On
Friday evening, by the way, there
will be. a whole grist Of dinner
parties for the various delegations,
many OF the embassies and lega-
tons being en- fete; for that is the
one evening next week for which
no night session Of the congress is
scheduled.
While plans for the entertain
ment Of the visitors have not yet
been entirely worked out, Mrs.
Davis, wife of the Secretary Of La
Dor, will give reception in their
honor on Thursday afternoon, May
z, and Mrs. Hoover, wife of the
Secretary of Commerce, is also
down for some sort of an afternoon
party. Indeed, 1 rather imagine
that all the Cabinet wives will en-
terrain on one occasion or another,
the distinguished foreign visitors
being divided among them as guests
in order that each may have ex-
perience of the hospitality OF
representative American home.
The Marchioness Of Aberdeen and
Temafr viii, of course, be the storm
center of much of the entertaining,
as will Mrs. Philip North Moore,
president Of the National Council
of Women of the United States, :he
hostess group for the great con
vocation. Mrs. Moore is giving a
dinner on Sunday night for Loci
and Lady Aberdeen with many OF
the press included among the
guests. Lady Aberdeen will, more
over, undoubtedly be the ranking
guest at the tea which. I under
stand, Lady Isabella Howard is
planning at the British embassy for
the delegates from Great Brita.in
and her possessions. I don't know
yet just when this is to be, but it
will have to be soon-if at .,ll-1s
Lady Isabella is sailing fop~11drope
early in May. Lord and Lady Aber-
deem are personal guests of Mrs
j. Borden Hartman. but are put
ting up at the Washington Ha.cl.
where Mrs. Moore also has head
quarters.
NInlA. Wallenberg Hopes to
Entertain ScandanavianS.
I'm told that Nine. Wallenberg,
wife Of the minister Of Sweden,
wants to have a reception, if the
time can be found, for all the dele
gates from Scandinavian countries,
and, of course there will be smaller
parties at the legations of Norway
and Denmark. The French ambassa'
dor and Nine. Daeschner will en-
tertain for their nationals, who In
clude such distinguished women as
Nine. Avril de Sainte-Croix, Nine.
Marie Verone. Mime. Pichon-Landry,
head of the French Council Of
Women; Nine. Dreyfus- Barney-a
daughter of our own Mrs. Alice
Barney, but long a resident Of

Minister and Nine. Wroblewska, the
Swiss Minister and Nine. Peter,
and the Rumanian Minister, Prince

ing a distinguished and charming

Of the British delegation, has been
staying with Mrs. Richard Tyler
at her home in y street since her

ington in time for the conference.
