And Cured" For Coming Season

Local Group at Spa in

Dy leaders IN WdSlltHStOh SoSAStSs ,
the coming season could be one OF
exceptional brilliance and strenuous
ness.
For those who seek this improve
ment by treatment according to
inflexible schedule. Hot Springs,
Va. seems to be the gathering place.
The ranking one Of the Washing
ton delegation at this spa in the
Virginia mountains is Mrs. kellogg,
wife of the Secretary Of State, who
Is making q visit there Of four
weeks IN order to take the "cure" In
MI Of its efficacy.
Burden is Heavy
There is perhaps none in official
society who has more of the burden
Of official entertaining then Mrs
Kellogg. Much Of it may be a
pleasureable burden, which lessons
the fatigue somewhat, but does not
eliminate 1t.
For to the wife Of the Secretary
Of State-whoever he may be--faHs
the duty OF being nice" to the
foreign diplomats within our gates.
This is the outstanding feature OF
the hospitality given and received
during season by the Secretary OF
state and his hostess.
Many Wish to Be Hosts
The chiefs of all Of the diplomatic
missions here naturally wish to
entertain the head Of the State De.
partment once during the winter.
This would make approximately
fifty dinners, this being the usual
form of official hospitality here.
Then there are other official din
ners to say nothing of receptions
and teas, which must get recognl-
ton. That leaves very little time
for any entirely personal festivity.
OF course, all Of these official I'M
Nitations cannot be accepted, but
one can see the social pressure Incl.
dent to q season in washington
when one is the wife Of the Secre-
tary Of State.
