JEAN ELIOT'S NEWS OF SOCIETY FOLK AND EVENTS
WHO'S OUT OF
REGISTER
ANDWHY?
This Years Blue Book
Thirty Pages Shorter
Than Last
By JEAN ELIOT

EMHATS happened to the
w Washington Social Regis
ter? It's 80 pages smaller this
year than it was last; and
everybody who is in it or who
thinks he-or she-ought to be
in it is thumbing it over to see
which of their friends have
been removed and to try to fig,
ure out why.
The town is certainly growing
and there must be some reason
why the "elite list" is getting
shorter instead of longer. My
theory is, however, that the vol
urne is being more closely ed
tied. For a long time, although
it was hard enough to get into
the Social Register, it was
harder still to get out. The
book was filled up with dead
wood, people who had once lived
here but had moved away;
married maidehs" who had
deserted their old home, etc.,
and even those who had died
were carried ON the roster for
10, these many years. Now,
however, things are apparently
to be conducted somewhat diff
ferently.
0NE thing which bears out
~ this explanation is the fact
that the 'lame ducks" of the
last Senate have been taken
off the list save those who are
actually living in the Capital
and who figure Importantly in
society although divorced from
official position-people like
Mr.. and Mrs. James W. Wads-
worth, jr., who will make their
permanent winter home here,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Oscar I'm
derwood, established at beau
tiful Woodlawn, in Virginia.
The Buffers are the only ex-
ception to this classification that
7 have discovered. They appear
in the Register listed as Mr.. and
Mrs. William M. Butler, without
the (Sen. Mass.) which used to
follow their name, although the
chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee is not likely to
be in Washington more than in
termittently this year.
Senator and Mrs. George Whar-
ton Pepper are gone from the list,
also Senator Richard P. Ernst
and so on. down the line. Repre-
sentative and Mrs. James Magee
are also among the missing, but
one finds Mr.. and Mrs. John
Philip Hill still with us and also
Edmund N. Carpenter, sometime
Representative from Pennsylvania,
who is living-When in town-in
the little bachelor club at 171S
H st.
1t is the custom with the edi-
clude all the Senate in the blue
book, but only such members of
the House Of Representatives as
they judge qualified for inclusion
Tor social and personal reasons.
