Washington, Feb. 22 Ps-Concern in Washington society over a tagging social program at the White House was dispelled to general satisfaction when Mrs. Hoover arranged the state dinner for diplomats for Thursday night, followed by a musicale which took the place of the regular diplo- matic reception.
 The reception to members Of the house. originally set for that night, was shifted to next week in favor of the two in one" function, to which all members of the corps were asked, making a diplomatic dinner and reception fall on the same eve hing. The plan was so successful that many are wondering why this was not thought of before.
 The great east room was filled with members of the diplomatic corps. The President and Mrs. Hoov- CT received the guests of lower rank following the dinner with quite as much ceremony as obtained at the usual diplomatic reception, and the whole affair was considered as bril- | liant as many held there in years. l Seating was arranged for all those attending the musicale, with tho
