TINE most momentous event In
washington's social scheme
happens today when there is re-
leased from the White House
the program for the formal re-
ceptions and dinners given by the
President and his lady and referred TO
"A state functions. Until this list is
issued society people in the Capital,
official and resident, stand In allegiance,
not from awe, but because since the
foundation Of the Government 1t has
been thought q social breach to have
important events conflict with White
House entertainments. To accept the
invitations Of others means only TO
break them should one come from the
President and the First Lady OF the
Land. OF course. this has been done,
but not often since the days OF the
Adamses and Thomas Jefferson, when
10 observe too closely the White House
social call was thought to be aping
royalty when an invitation Is a COM
mand.
Five State dinners and seven recep-
tions are set forth on the program, or
IL great events when the court life OF
the Republic Is ct its best. This is
two less receptions than were scheduled
for last Winter, the Treasury, Post
once, Interior, Agriculture, Commerce
and Labor Department ofhcials being
given q Joint reception at the end OF
this season. Other departments like
the Army and Navy and the Depart
ment Of Justice are reckoned for In the
receptions given especially for those
departments.
Under some wise, experienced man
aRement there has been re-arrange-
nent of these White House functions
and most noticeable is that the admin
stration goes back to the old custom
of having the first event on the list Q
dinner 70 the cabinet which last yea
was placed below the diplomatic re
ceptaon and, like that most brtllian
affair, not coming on at all because
Of official mourning.
With but two exceptions, the mrs
and last entertainments on the list
each event falls on Thursday. The din
ner to the cabinet comes on Tuesday
December 2, at o'clock in the eve

department ofhcials on Monday eve

appointed hour for the dinner partie
Is 8 O'Clock, and the receptions vii
open at 9 O'Clock p. m, all but the New
Year day reception. which, convenient
falling on Thursday, win open at /

durance and which are the cause

The minds Of Washington women are
always reaching back into the annals
Of the social history of Washington and
especially just now when the Jugger-
naut Of politics in Illinois and other
States Is trying on some dangerous
tricks. Both Mrs. j. Hamilton Lewis
and Mrs. Ruth Hanna Mccormick are
favorites In Washington society and
both have tried out the senatorial cir
Gle, the one rs the wife Of q Senator,
the other as the wife and favorite
daughter Of favorite Senator'S.
It was upon Senator ]. Hamilton
Lewis that the spot light beat while
he was In the upper House, and Mrs.
Lewis slipped so quietly along in So
ciety that one scarcely knew she was
here. It was along In the Spring OF
1917 that Mr.. Lewis set before the world
some Of the rare gifts of Mrs. Lewis.
There was q red hot campaign on for
the election of q new president-general
Of the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton and Mrs. Lewis was put out as a
candidate by Mrs. william Cumming
Stody, who held the mighty position
Odds were against Mrs. Lewis, as she
was one Of many candidates from the
Middle West and would run against Mrs
George T. Guernsey Of Kansas, who was
later elected.
Some rare D. A. r. campaign mate
rial came out of Senator Lewis Office
at the Capitol in which he gave an in
teresting biography of Mrs. Lewis. He
set forth that she had spent some years
in Europe and had travelled much in far
countries in Hungary, Spain, Roumania
Russia, Italy, Germany, Bohemia and
the Orient, making a study of palm
estry. She must have read defeat in
her own palm and accepted the ver-
dict gracefully, and the politicians OF
the great State of Illinois might now
wonder what she sees in her husbands
palm. Victory or defeat. Mrs. Nc
Cormick, or Mr.. Lewis.

Soviet allegations.

government will not hesitate to adopt
determined steps" If 1t Is proved that
the Soviet action will affect the Japa-

acted illegally and if it is found that
