 SOCIETY BUSY
Nearing End Of Term Observe
 Social Obligations

Washington, Jan. II Rp-The so- cial slump usually attending the close of an administration is who'll ly lacking in Washington just now, and seldom has there been more interesting prograN in progress than that closing the Coolidge ad- ministration.
 The President and Mrs. Coolidge are not stacking any obligation and the Vice President and Mrs. Dawes would undoubtedly get in a dinner party of their own now and then if they were only given a chance. AS 1t is, they are engaged for almost every night between now and March 4. with bitter disappointment await ing many of the hostesses when the vice president sends his last minute regrets that affairs in the senate en- snare him and Mrs. Dawes must car ny out the engagements without him.
 Senator Charles Curtis, vice presi- dent elect, also is laying up anoth- CT store of disappointed hosts who would add dinner in his honor as one of the high lights ip the late season program.
 Two of the largest dinner parties of the week might be called admin istration, affairs, the company invit- cd by the attorney general and Mrs. Sargent. to meet the President and Mrs. Coolidge and the interesting guests asked on the same evening by the secretary to the president and Mrs. Everett Sanders to meet the vice president and Mrs. Dawes.
 Mir. and Mrs. Henry Ford of Dear born. Mich, represented the west, lat the attorney generals dinner. coming over from New York and Menloe Park N. J.. where they vis- ited MT. and Mrs. Thomas A. Edi- son. while by far the greater num- Der of guests for this event came from New England. The table with it's bountiful decoration of yellow roses and fern was laid in the din- ing room of the presidential suite at a hotel, where MT. and Mrs. Cool idge started their official life in Washington when he came first as vice president. He and Mrs. Cool idge are great favorites in the hotel and their arrival is the signal for a general lineup of .he old servants of the place who personally served them for several years. In prepar- ing these cabinet dinners for the president, the chefs are quite aware of the favorite dishes of both guests of honor, and the entire menu is one to their liking and not a mere show dinner. One of the small fan cies of Mrs Coolidge is for pretty bonbons tied up in transparent pa per with ribbons-tiny bits of crys- talized sugar in gay colors. These she nibbles with all the delight of a child.
