Party at White House Planned
For Young Son of the Family
Allan Hoover to Enter
tain Youthful Crowd on
Monday Evening

Q gay spot on Monday eve
ming, when Allan Hoover,
youngest son of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover, will
entertain about 100 young
people at q dance. The
party was arranged rather
hastily, verbal invitations
having been issued only .
day or two ago. A. dinner
will precede the dance.
This will be the first
party at the White House
for the younger generation
In many a moon. And
though the calendar that
night is crowded with debu-
tante dances, which were
ARRANGED several months
back, everything will be
dropped for a while any
way. Those lucky enough
Ito receive invitations from
young Allan will "look in"
tat the White House.
t First Party
During the Coolidge admins
tration, John, the scion Of the
Family, never entertained at any
formal parties. When he was
home from college for the holi-
days, and the former Florence
Trumbull came "a-visiting," one
or two guests were, on occasions,
invited to dine at the White
House.
For John spent most of his
time with his parents, and the
form of recreation to which he
was partial was horseback rid
ing through Rock Greek Park.
He would attend a few deb
parties, but not with the same
enthusiasm which young Allan
Hoover has displayed during mis-
first holiday season in Wash
angton, as son of the Chief Ex-
secutive and First Lady. Mr..
Hoover, apparently, wishes to
make the most of his position,
and intends to enjoy every adj
Vantage which it has to offer.
The guests have been invited
Tor 10 o'clock. A local hotel or
chestra has been engaged to
play for the dancing. replacing
the Marine Band, used, as rule,
for every affair at the White
House. The latter orchestra,
however, will supply the music
during dinner.
The dance, it is understood,
will break up at an early hour,
to enable the guests to attend
other parties that evening.

her son, Rushmore Patterson,
