and Mrs. Roosevelt which the mem
bers of their Official family will
give to celebrate the anniversary OF
the Presidents inauguration will be

associated with the Chief Executive.

that the President has not been en-
tertained by each of the cabinet Of

the only such party for the Chief Ex-
ecutive this season.

morning from her week in New York
