BY sALLIE v. Fl. PICKETT.


Opening the official social season this
year has far more significance and a
bigger thrill than usually attends the
first ceremonies, for there is the close
dividing line OF Congress to consider
with many changes in the personnel of
both Houses. The cabinet dinner at
the White House Thursday night is
one of those annual events which is
changed only by death or a mighty
upheaval~ in the Executive family, and
without a change from the list of last
wear the cabinet members and their
wives will sit with the President and
Mrs. Hoover in the State dining room.
Mrs. Hoover has been meeting the cabi-
net women in the most charming and
almost informal manner for several
weeks past, Mrs. Wilbur being her last
hostess when she entertained for the
First Lady and cabinet women at a
luncheon last week.
Society thought it had a great thrill
in a change from the musicale, which
usually follows White House dinner.
to a dance for which additional guests
we're invited. However great the dis
appointment, the fact remains that it

invitation from other sources for the
early season, most every one Of which
mentioned dancing, while II there is
dancing at the White House at all it
will follow the receptions, when in the
East Room few try out the newest
steps just for the sake Of tradition, or
perhaps a dance such as was given last
season around the Christmas holiday
with only the younger set as guests.
The ladies of the cabinet will have
a great influx of new official visitors
when on Wednesday they open their
doors to callers for the first time this
season. However, the various branches
of society are so neatly defined in
washington that there need be little
overcrowding. The Secretary of State
and Mrs. Stimson, of course, receive
visits from the diplomatic corps. but
the Army and Navy set confine them
selves quite closely to the cabinet men,
bers representing the fighting forces
while the large apartment OF the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is always sought
for the good company and rare pic
lures and objects of art to be found
there.

What did you do?"
 Only Sue knew about the bag which Jack had discovered in the furnace room and had concealed in his overcoat pocket. She asked the question but already the answer was forming in her mind.
 That fellow called Mac had an overcoat exactly like mine. The three coats were here together. And stuck the evidence he wanted in
 his own pocket!
 For a second there was a pause in the room. Then Sue started to
 laugh. She couldn't help it. It was a relief from the tension un- der which she had been struggling. The others caught the humor of it and the laughter echoed through the rooms.
 ITO think that we spent all that time trying to keep them from the track and then then gave them , what they wanted" Sue gasped at last. It's all right, Jack. Don't
 worry. They would have found it anyway. if you hadn't been here first"
 "We have to get busy now, quick Jack explained. I've got
 to make the men believe that we were holding that bag to spring it as part of our testimony against somebody else. The thing was planted here. I'm sure of that.

to net results quite as much as the creams and so on.
 It is foolish to spend so large a proportion of your extra money that you are going without food and clothes. You need the care for your person quite as much as you need dresses to adorn you.
 To-day you can get inexpensive tubes of many good creams, small amounts to be sure, and it is saw ing to buy a large amount. But If you are getting salary under $20, you cannot afford a huge jar of this or that, and anyhow, you use it up faster when you have a lot. AS for astringents, witch hazel is excellent and it is inexpensive. Bland soaps certainly need not cost fortune. And so on.
 Work out your'own beauty budget, that is my advice. It will help make you beauty conscious, make you more careful of your grooming if you know what it is costing you. and will probably make you more discerning in just what treatments do the most tor you.

The young married set received invitations to a "heart and dart" party. With such name there was no need to look at the date of the party. It was self-evident that the affair came on Valentines Day.
 When the guests arrived the men were sent into one room to remove their coats and the women into an other to take off their wraps. For tunately the group all arrived at about the same time. While the women were still in the guest room they chose paper heart. These were cut from the pattern given. Each heart was of a different color.
 At the same time the men were selecting darts. Each dart had a heart of corresponding color. When the groups met in the living room the partners matched colors- in heart and dart.
 Since the evening started as a dinner party the matched couples went into the dining room. Here the centerpiece was of laurel leaves ar ranged in a low flat bowl. Small red gummed paper hearts were stuck onto the leaves for flowers. They might have been wired to stand above the leaves in regular flower fashion.

Gold hearts and darts radiated from the centerpiece.
 Most of the dinner was devoid of Valentine suggestions. since the hostess felt it was easy to make such an affair tiresome when sym bolism was in evidence everywhere. The salad was decorated with hearts and darts of pimiento. The cookies served with Ice cream were. heart shaped.
 After dinner the group played hearts, made as many words as pos sible from the phrases "heart and dart" put jig saw heart shaped puz- zles together, and used an indoor archery game in which the bulls eye was a heart.
