Washington, which is SO per cent
oficial all the year around, gives way on
Easter to visiting avalanche of young
men and women, boys and girls, who
come trooping home for the briefeSt and
gayest holiday of the twelve months
Just now the city is fairly overhowing
with them, every official home and the
ample houses of the old residents being
filled. The social program, dating from
last night, when charming Miss Helen
Robbins, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. War
rem Delano Robbins, made her Washing
ton debut, the cleverly planned Spanish
ball, with many features at the May
flower tomorrow night, and dozens of
luncheons, tea dances, dinners and little
balls fill the day and night hours for a
week to come.
The President and Mrs Hoover are
minus Easter guests save for those who
permanently abide with them, and this
morning they were able to witness the
glories Of an early Eastern sky while at
tending the sunrise service at Arlington,
held under the auspices of number of
organizations. On their return to the
Capital they will attend the simple serV-
ice in the picturesque Friends Meeting
House.
Not so sedate will be the program for
tomorrow, when the children of the
town, each with a grown-up personal
conductor, will be guests of the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Hoover on the White
House lawn for the annual Easter Mon
day egg rolling. Last year their grand
children were with them. and they en-
tertained a number of other young
guests. Except for the three members
of the younger generation of Hoovers,
the program will not be greatly varied
this year.
Early dinners will give way tomorrow
night to the gay Spanish ball at the
Mayflower, which will serve as the
brilliant meeting place of all the stu
dent visitors and many others from
out Of town. Spanish costumes will
predominant, and there will be some
terribly amusing Spanish pastimes
shown, such as a bull fight, perhaps
cock fights, and there will be Spanish
music during the supper hour, when
Spanish viands will be served.
Washington will have its first al
cotton" wedding tomorrow at high moor
in Bethlehem Chapel, Washington
Cathedral, when Miss True Odessa
GoSsette emulates the example Of Mrs

who will become the bride OF Mr.. JOIN
Duncan Mcdonald, is the niece anc
foster daughter of Mr.. Carl Williams
of the Federal Farm Board and Mrs
williams, and as her uncle represents
the cotton farmers of the United State.
