BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT.

There was gay furry in the Capital
hast week with the opening of the White
House official program for 1882, en-
bassies and legations opening their
doors and great scurry from cabinet
home to cabinet home Wednesday to
get in all the calls within an afternoon.
The latter feat might have been ac-
complished had not women and men
found cabinet officials and their wives
so pleasant TO meet, a fact that made
one take too much time on a call to
get all the way around. The cabinet
dinner, followed by musicale with ad-
ditional guests, bore all the staid dignity
of such a strictly official function.
President and Mrs. Hoover have is
sued invitations for the first Of the
state receptions Thursday evening in
the White House at 9 o'clock. The re-
ception is in honor of the diplomatic
corps, and inclosed with the card of
invitation is the customary card of ad-
mission, strictly not transferable, and
the card Of admission for the wind
shield of the automobile. This recep-
ton is the most brilliant of all the
evening events, it being an occasion upon
which the Ambassadors and Ministers
and each man Of their suites wear their
full court dress with dangling swords,
clanking spurs and all of their decora-
tions, while each officer from the United
States service, Army, Navy and Marine
Corps, wears full dress. Thursday
there will be a number of new recruits
in the corps who have not had the ex-
perience Of White House state recep-
ton in their honor.
The reception TO the judiciary fol-
lows, and at g o'clock sharp Thursday
night December II, the President and
Mrs. Hoover will receive the Chief
Justice Of the Supreme Court and Mrs
Hughes and the associate justices of
that high tribunal, also the justices and
judges Of lesser courts and many at
torneys from Washington and other
cities, with the usual complement Of
society folk and members of both
houses OF Congress.
There was quite a little controversy
after the cabinet dinner as to the ap-
pearance in the White House of the
handsome gold service used at all State
dinners, and one ~ has nurrc ed
FnpFNlU gFafa -
ueep'y ssgch matters thought it
-asassgJmer to term it the Dolly Madison
service and declared an authority for
Falling it the Monroe surtout de table,
sS it was dubbed in the bills from
France which caused an unpleasant
~rangle in that administration. With
Its accompanying pieces it cost 5000
francs and a. .aaL s:lc manufacturer
under~.1unated its value to bring it
within the purchase price Of the poor
and parsimonious new country. This
handsome center ornament for the
State dining table covers a space l3
feet long and feet wide. There is
scarcely a chance of mistaking the
description Of early days and so Mr..
Monroe has it.

Is rush for entrance. For something
less than 30 years Mrs. Gam has been
meeting Washington official society and
one meyer found her without smile
and hearty welcome. She was hand

Mrs. Charles P. George, the Vice Presi-
dents daughter, becomingly attired in
an afternoon gown of red crepe, glow
ingly becoming her brunette coloring.
Her husband Maj. George, lent further
military atmosphere TO the drawing
room, the introductions being made by
one Of the military aides.
Wednesday will again find open doors
in cabinet homes, the last receptions
to be held by the ladies until after the
New Year. Each hostess has a helpful
group Of assistants from official society
and as even an Ambassador and his
wife cannot do the impossible, they
could only make a few Of the visits
leaving the rest until this week. The
Ambassador Of Japan and Nine De-
buchi received a warm welcome where
ever they called and remained for some
time at the Vice Presidents apartment,
discussing affairs with the other visi-
tors.
The Senate ladies will soon open
their season of luncheons and Red

regular meeting for business will be on

ing reception will be held Friday after

BADEN-POWELL, FOUNDER OF
BOY SCOUTS

Sir Robert Baden-Powell the
founder of the Boy Scouts of Amer
lea, is direct descendant of Captain
John Smith, the explorer and scout
of pioneer days. Baden Powell held
up the reputation of his family by
being an explorer and hunter in At
rica. Many are the interesting
stories of his life, while with the
English army in Africa. 1t was in
1908 that he published the book
Scouting for Boys out of which
has grown the great organization of
Boy Scouts. Soon after the organ
ization became successful in Eng
land, it was brought to America and
here introduced by w d. Boyce, the
late Chief Totem of the Boy Scouts,
and originator of the division of the
Boy Scouts known as the Lone
Scouts, with special features for the
rural boy.-H. Frame.
