CAPITALS SOCIAL
 CASTE IS CHANGED
Congressional Reception Now
 Is Popular Event

Washington, Feb. 1 R,-President and Mrs. Coolidge held their con-
 gressional reception Thursday night and It's representation of every phase of social and political life gave am- pie testimony that this annual White House event is not what it used to be.
 In years past the congressional set turned a cold shoulder to the
 party. often going to the extreme of sending buffers and maids to repre- sent their households. That prac- tice wared. however. to an extent that was clearly evident this time when senators and representatives almost unanimously request extra cards for their guests.
 Members of congress began Rt- tending the congressional reception in force 8 few years ago when the White House dropped its custom of inviting them to all other social events and now it is by far the most interesting and democratic of the season.
 Senator and Mrs. Royal s. Cope. land of New York. brought their son, Royal s. Copeland. Jr. on from Syracuse university to attend and former Senator and Mrs. Rice w. Means of Colorado, first entertained a large dinner party in honor of MT. and Mrs. Maurice Deiches of New York and then accompanied them to the White House. Senator and Mrs. Lawrence D. Tyson also took large party. and Senator and Mrs. Edward I. Edwards of New Jersey, were &C., companied by the latter's sister. Mrs. George Roe of Patchogue. Long Is- land.
 On Tuesday night the President and Mrs. Coolidge met a group or distinguished Hoosiers at the home of the postmaster general and Mrs. New, who gave their annual political dinner. Mrs. New operates a nov ing picture machine with great suc- cess and she fairly bewildered the company. especially pleasing the president by giving a moving picture show of bird life following the din- ner.
 She considers this an amateur ex- hibition but the care she uses in pie turing the hundreds of birds at Hemlock Hedge their suburban, place just over the district line in Maryland, made it show worthy the efforts of professional.
 The week started off with the thrilling bal boheme of the Arts club of Washington. and it was inspiring to see the Persian minister and oth- CTS of the diplomatic corps wearing ceremonial dress of their own coun- tries, while a number of representa- tives in congress and their wives dis ported themselves in fetching dis guise.
 Mrs. Henry Riggs Rathbone, wife of Rep. Rathbone. of Illinois. was queen of Sheba in richly embroider- ed and bejeweled robes. while Rep. | and Mrs Maurice H. Thatcher of Kentucky caught the spirit of the evening. as a Spanish nobleman and an Amber Princess hair. dress and | jewelry all corresponding. Mrs. Carf 1 R. Chindblom. wife of the Illinois representative appeared and carried out her part as a small girl in pink | singham rompers. big pink rib bon holding back her cur,s.
