Down in Georgia former Gov. John
M. Slayton has been most anxious to
get into the senatorial race, according
to reports from that State. He and
his friends have been canvassing the
situation closely to learn whether he
would have a chance of defeating SEN
ator William ]. Harris for the Demo-
cratic nomination, which Is equivalent
to election in Georgia. The reports as
to what former Gov. Slayton finally
will do are conflicting. One of the
latest to reach here Is that he has not
been encouraged by the survey OF the
state and will remain out of the race.
IF he rets into the senatorial contest
he doubtless will have the support of
former Gov. tom" Hardwick. Mr..
Hardwick was also Senator from Geor-
pia and was defeated for denomination
bv Senator Harris. Senator Harris beat
Hardwick again six years ago and the
latter has no political love for him.
Mr.. Hardwick, it Is understood, VIII
make no effort to win the senatorial
nomination for himself this year, but
he would support any one VINO ran
against Senator Harris.
Gov. Slayton was the chief executive
of the state at the time Leo Franks
case was in the public eye. He COM
muted the death sentence Of Frank,
who was afterward lynched. What
bearing this would have on the chances
of Gov. Slayton does not appear on the
surface. Senator Harris has been cog
infant of the desire of Gov. Slayton to
get into the senatorial race. 1t Is re-
ported that his friends in the State
have gone over the situation carefully.
too, and that they have concluded Har-
ris would carry the election over
whelmingly. Senator Harris naturally
has a number of political enemies In the
State. He was against the nomination

decorations they would don for pres
entation at court, and so important is
the reception to the military branch OF
the Government that both the Secretary
Of War and the Secretary of the Navy
give minute instructions to their re-
spective branches of the service how
to act and what TO wear. From the
adjutant generals Office of the War De-
partment comes orders to wear pre-
scribed uniform and white dress gloves
and decorations, but no Sabers will be
worn, And with military precision the
Secretary of War and Mrs. Hurley an
nounce that they will receive all officers
stationed in and near the District OF
Columbia and their families from 4 to 6
o'clock the afternoon of New Year day.
The Vice President and his sister, Mrs
Gam, will not hold reception on New
Year day, but will be at the White
House earlier in the forenoon and will
perhaps make some other calls. Mrs.
Gam will not observe her Wednesday
at home on January Z, but will instead
make a round of cabinet visits.
From the White House on New Year
day the cabinet members and their
families will repair TO the Pan-American
Union, which of late years has formed
the setting for the annual diplomatic
breakfast given by the Secretary Of
State and his lady. This event is more
concretely brilliant than any other event
of the year, unless perchance it may be
the diplomatic reception at the White
House To meet the heads of foreign
missions, Ambassadors, Ministers and
charge d'affaires, each with their re-
spective stats, are many high officials
and a very few others, yet the great

The band plays, many languages are

Debutantes Join Middies
And Cadets In Holiday Ball

One of the outstanding holiday func-
tons on the social program of the
debutante, subdebutante, cadets and
midshipmen, is the subscription dance
and buffet supper which will be held
at the Burlington Hotel New Year
eve.
The event is being arranged by the
same group Of former students Of the
naval and military academies which
organized the dance given at the Ham
ilton Hotel for the 200 midshipmen and
their friends the first night OF their
Christmas leave. A large numner Of
midshipmen have not been permitted
to leave Annapolis during the present
holiday season because Of failure in
their studies, and 1t Is that this par
ticular group may participate with
their more fortunate colleagues in a
dancing party that this sequel to the
successful dance given last week will
be held.
More than $50 future Army and
Navy oficers have subscribed to the
dance. Tickets may be obtained at the
Burlington, and each cadet or mid
shipman has the privilege Of inviting
their personal friends. Another pre-
dominating reason for the organization
Of the dances is that 30 many Of the
students ct Annapolis are unable to
visit their homes during the Christmas
season and have not established social
connections in the Capital. 1t is the
plan Of the committee arranging the
dance that these subscription dances
for the midshipmen and cadets be
given annuaIlg.

Pausing midway between Christmas
Of pIenteous old-fashioned cheer and a
New Year awakening upon scenes more
brilliant but less youthful, Washington
enjoyed and is enjoying a period almost
wholly set apart for the junior element
of society. Two brilliant debut balls
marked Friday night, one in Oriental
effect with Mr.. and Mrs Eugene Meyer
as hosts and the other put on" by
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry L. Doherty of New
York, for the latters' daughter. Both
debutantes, Miss Elizabeth Meyer and
Miss Helen Eames Doherty, will figure
n the less pretentious but still more
interesting dance at the White House
Tuesday night, when again the youth
full members of official and unofficial
society will tread a measure in the
least room.
Mr.. Alan Hoover's contemporaries
wiz dance in the east room, the green
room, the blue room and where not and
isupper will be served in the state dining
room. Not so large, by half, will be
the ball Of Tuesday night in the east
room as when the late President Roose-
welt and Mrs. Roosevelt introduced their
daughter, Miss Ethel Roosevelt, now
Mrs. Derby Of Oyster Bay, to society.
To repeat history, that was one OF the
largest young folk parties given in the
white House in generations, though
President and Mrs. William Howard
Taft entertained at more than one large
party for their daughter, Miss Helen
Taft, now Mrs. Frederick ]. Manning
Miss Taft had her coming out party
there, too.
The present First Lady Of the Lane
has a sense Of the eternal fitness Of
things and there will be no ham ano
eggs breakfast at the White House fol-
lowing the dance. which in fact vii
find the young guests bidding theil
hostess good night by IL O'Clock. M
greater compliment could be shown
the invited guests than in the homelik'
hospitality offered the rather small
company.
Nowhere else in America do sucl
profound extremes of society meet as q
