President Hoover showed every evi-
dence Of heartily enjoying the buffet
luncheon party on the south lawn of
the White House Thursday, which the
First Lady planned in honor Of the
notification group and which, while
mats who just will take the shine of
the secondary officials Of Washington,
was one of the most interesting and
notable gatherings ever held on the
lawn. Since the first leveling down and
sloping OF of the White House grounds,
no 10 acres in the United States have
been of as much national interest, and
the pre-notihcation luncheon must
stand out as q newsmaker along with
President Jeffersons famous cheese
cutting at the White House when some
Of his admiring constituents manufac-
tured and sent the cheese-the biggest
in history up to that time-and other
Of his admirers clamoured for bite.
To Mrs. Hoover is due the honor and
glory Of the White House buffet lunch
con August IL, and while the presence
Of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and her
daughters was viewed as bit Of po-
litical publicity, the event was con-
ceived and carried out by Mrs. Hoover,
as was every other detail Of the memor-
able event 1t was Mrs. Theodore

administration, revived the custom Of
garden parties at the White House, and
all during the event of last week one
heard reference to little features and
happenings at that first open-air party.
One that stands out in the picture with
broad strokes was that of. President
Roosevelt running down the spiral stair
way into the garden, dressed in his rid
ing clothes. in which he always cut a
peerless figure, and greeting Mrs. Roose-
welt and then fastening around from
guest to guest and always the center
Of admiring groups as he tapped on
his riding boots with his crop. Mrs.
Roosevelt was reminded of the incident
and other features Of the party at nu-
merous times as she passed again over
the White House lawn.
Garden parties or alfresco buffet
luncheons are great events for more
reasons than one-politically and So
cially speaking-and beget a cordiality
that one could never feel in the state
dining room where certain formalities
must be observed. Nor was the menu
for the luncheon scanty one. i
was after Mrs. Hoover's own heart
with good hot bouillon, cold SLICED
chicken and Virginia ham, sandwiches
such as only the White House kitcher
can produce, hors d'oeuvre, coffee
punch, ices and creams and cakes
chairs for the men who know so littl'
about balancing a teacup and plat
while carrying on conversation. and

PAPERS KNOWN AS
X Y Z DISPATCHES

In 1897 strained relations existed
between the United States and the
young French republic. The United
States desiring to repair the friend
ship between the two countries which
had been of such Importance during
the American Revolution. sent three
commissioners to France t. effect an
understanding. The government of
France-the DirectOry-was pressed
for funds, and the commissioners
were given 10 understand that the
United States could have the friend
ship of France only upon terms which
amounted To an international bribe;
that otherwise war might be expected
as the result of affronts the French
felt they had received at the hands
of the United States.
The American commissioners sent
back to their government a series OF
dispatches describing their reception
and the French proposals. President
Adams. after seeing these dispatches,
sent word to congress that no agree
ment with France was in sight, and
that no terms compatible with the
safety, the honor, or the essential in
terests of the nation" could be OBJ
tained. Copies of the dispatches were
forwarded to congress at its request.
In the copies. the letters y, Y and
Y were automatically substituted for
the names of three French agents
who had presented the offensive pro-
posals. Hence the papers were called
the Y Z correspondence. The rev.
elations contained in the dispatches
caused great sensation, and prep
arations were begun for war with
France. Some conflict. indeed, did
break out upon the sea. Later, how
ever. a satisfactory relationship was
established ,between the two coun-
tries.

BELTS ARE FEATURE
OF SPRING STYLES

Belts, and more belts; buckles of
steel, of chromium, of wood. of
bright red and green metallic effects,
and new ribbon, chain, suede. pat.
ent leather, kid, cloth and every
other kind of belt materials for
those who want TO make their own
belts-all these are seen in the
stores this spring.
Combinations of belts. pocket
books and scarfs which match are
being shown. Or perhaps the belt
and bag are of different, but har.
monizing shades. AT any rate, the
fashion is for belted effects, and a
woman may be as daring as she
wishes, putting a green belt on a
yellow dress and adding a touch of
green to her yellow bag.
Striped belts are good. plaid
woven belts in wooden materials are
smart with navy blue or other solid
color frocks, and the ribbon coun-
ters are doing a rushing business In
wide, heavy shiny sort Of ribbon
for use as belts.

Learned to Leave Fire Alone

One Of the most amusing Incl
dents Of the early days of anthra-
cite was when a firm of wire man
ufacturers, early in the Nineteenth
century, attempted to substitute an
thracite coal for soft coal in their
rolling mill. After working for two
days and using two carloads of
coal they were about to give up. The
attendants of the fire, who had done
a lot of work with pokers, laid down
their tools and went to lunch. When
they returned they were astonished
to note that the furnace was red
hot. Opening The door they found
the interior glowing with intense
white heat. So, accidentally, they
found that the way to make an
anthracite fire burn was to leave it
alone!

IT SEEMS that fashion is deliv-
L ering series of "chalk talks"
this season. At any rate, the very
newest laces and fabrics are carry
ing over the message that TO be
"chalky" is 10 be chic. This luster-
lack vogue Is the latest sensation
in realms of fashion. Smart laces
especially feature these fascinating
dull-finished effects. The name of
this very new and beautiful type of
chalky-surfaced lace is as intriguing
as the lace itself. When you 90 lace

pleasure, for such is the title some
genius Of fashion. gifted with imag-
ination, has bestowed upon laces of
this character. Forthwith you will
be shown an array of laces such as
your eye ne'er gazed upon until this
season-free from garish luster,
chalklike and soft and altogether
lovely.
Much Of the charm of these
chalky-surfaced laces rests in their
delectable colorings which run the
range of enchanting pastels as well
as including the ow-so-fashlonable
off-whites, also the new chalk white
which is the last word.
The exquisite gowns pictured are
winsome exponents of the present
vogue for mellowed chalky surfaces
and colorings. They bear that un-
mistakable this-season's air about
them which is so much to be covet-
ed. Their backgrounds, comparing
the two gowns, are their distin-
gushing feature. In each instance

This type Is general favorite. Most
every lace frock has a matching

no exception. The presence Of these
