Diplomatic Reception at White House;
Farewell HOspitdLities for Canadian Visitors
Brilliant Fete at Cana
dian Legation; British
Embassy Gives Dinner
By JEAN ELIOT

BY JEAN ELIOT
THE Diplomatic reception at
= the White House, with the
President and Mrs. Coolidge as
hosts, is the major event on the
calendar tonight, and society is
still wondering if the Governor
General of Canada and Viscoun-
tess Wilmington will be present.
Perhaps the ceremonials Off
Gals at the White House or the
State Department know, but, il
so, they won't tell.
At all events it's an interest
ing subject for speculation.
THE distinguished visitors
i from over the famous un-
fortified border will be guests
of the British Ambassador and
Lady Isabella Howard at dinner
tonight, the final hospitality in
their honor, as they are leaving
town early tomorrow. Today is
being devoted to sightseeing, in
GLIDING visit to the Capitol to
give Congress the "once over"
with time off for an informal
luncheon at the Canadian Lega-
ton.
WVaERE was a traffic jam in
front of the Canadian Lega-
ton last evening when the Cana
dian Minister and Mrs. Massey
entertained a reception in honor
Of Viscount and Viscountess Will
lingdon. But although well over
500 guests were present there
was no sense of overcrowding in
the spacious legation. Every group
from Washington's cosmopolitan
society was represented. The
Cabinet, the Supreme Court, the
Senate and the House. All the
chiefs of diplomatic missions, OF
course, and all the British, Irish
and Canadian diplomats. Many in
uniform and more wearing decor
atoms.
TIME red carpet was out as for
royalty, and there had been
discussion beforehand as to
whether or not the ladies should
courtesy to Viscountess Willing
dom. Most of them didn't except
ing the Canadians. In Canada it's
the custom of the country" A
good many had also discussed the
question Of wearing gloves. Wis
