After Easter will be the signal for at
least few of the formal parties which
keenly interest the congressional set
in the Nations Capital
The traditional breakfast OF the
Congressional Club in honor OF the
Presidents wife will be given after the
Lenten season and already new ideas
and plans have been considered for the
entertainment Of the honor guest.
One year, much to the delight OF the
guests, the club arranged to have one
of the leading radio stars appear at
the fete. but the plans for the lunch
con for the present hostess at the
White House have not gone this far
as yet.
With the lawmakers scheduled to
remain in the city well into the SUM-
mer months and for the most their
families braving the warmer days with
| them the season after the 40 days OF
sack cloth and ashes" will fairly
bubble with, informal festivities.
The Congressional Club. whose ac-
tiyities are received with warm inter-
est not only by society in this CITY,
but to many persons in all sections
of the country, as the membership IS
made up of wives of members OF the
Senate and Lower House, has been
obliged to change many plans this
Winter. With the season of the CLUB
so late in opening and then court
mourning following so closely, num-
her of the formal functions Mrs. VIII
liam M. Wilmington, president OF the
club, and her able committee hao
honed to include on the program oil
the club were most regretfully set
aside.
It is also deeply lamented that the
time -honored formal receptions to the
President. the Vice President ana the
Sneaker of the House and their wives
also have been omitted from the cluo
program this year. President Roose-
Welt does not often leave the Whlte
House for social functions, the wee
President shuns all social ameniIles
and this year the Speaker has "oeggeo
off" explaining that because OF the
pressure of business he has no time
for social affairs.
A bright spot, however. In aooitlon
to the gay little parties of informal
nature which will continue at the
club until Ash Wednesday, is seen
in the prospects of formal tea this
month with Mrs. Roosevelt as honor
guest Mrs. Wilmington, who, Incl
dentally, is one of the most energetic
presidents the club can boast and
who has injected lively interest in the
| club. hopefully is awaiting word from
the chatelaine of the Executive Man"
sion.
The congressional group as we'll as
society in general is looking forward
to the announcement of Mrs. Joseph
w Byrns' formal day at home. This
will not be held until after Easter
although no definite date has been
selected by the gracious wife of the
Speaker. Last year Mrs. Byrns' at
home was one of the most delightful
of the season, her tea table in the
Chinese room looking for all the
world like a work of art, with the
many varieties of cakes, sandwiches
and other delicacies blending in color
with the profusion Of fragrant bios
SONS forming the center piece of the
long table.

Joan Davis Observes
Birthday Anniversary

Joan Davis, daughter Of Senator
and Mrs. James J. Davis, celebrated
her 18th birthday anniversary at
party yesterday afternoon in the
home of her parents on Massachusetts
avenue. Fourteen of her classmates
at the Oyster School, were guests, ana
during the afternoon the young people
were entertained with motion pic

later and there were attractive favors
for the guests.

With less than four weeks, "a days
10 be exact, remaining of the Winter
season, the social program OF February
will he even more crowded than the
first month of the year. Thus much
must be sandwiched in these days to
come. tor washington society is apt
to follow the lead of the Chief EXecu-
tive and his wife in such matters and
President and Mrs. Roosevelt adhere
rather closely to the tenets OF their
church and observe the 40 days OF
penitence which has come to mean for
manv abstinence from entertaining for
mally. The official schedule for State
functions will be completed a week
before Ash Wednesday, which writes
sfnis" to the season but is usually
the signal for much informal lunch
ing, teaing and dining.
Ash Wednesday also is the signal
to many for a trip Southwark to es-
cape the six weeks of dullness socially
as well as the usual bad weather OF
those six weeks.
True, today will indicate how the
weather will be for six weeks OF
the immediate future depending on
whether the sun shines brightly
enough for Mr.. Ground Hog to be
frightened at his shadow. Many
already are in the South and the
Winter season at Palm Beach and
Miami as well as those centers
further north, Daytona Beach, Aiken
and Asheville are in full swing.

In the diplomatic and official circles
which observed only complimentary
mourning for the death of King
George v of England, is over and

Of residential Washington are so
closely allied and interlapped that
any Official mourning is apt to affect
society in general. Not SO many years
ago the lines were more tightly drawn
and the officials and diplomats were
apt to scorn the mere residents, while
that group of so-called "cave dwell

they termed in those days the float

Surprises
Promised
By Garners
Annual Dinner to
President. and Mrs.
Roosevelt Tuesday.

The Vice President, eschewing all
social affairs, puts all the pent-up
effort thus saved into the one party
he and Mrs. Garner plan year-the
dinner to the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt The annual dinner Will
be given Tuesday evening at the
Hotel Washington, where the vice
President and Mrs. Garner have made
their Washington home for some years.
These events have been elaborate to
a degree, the hosts importing" talent
from Texas and California and there
is considerable suspense to know just
what the Vice President means by
surprises" for the party Tuesday.
Perhaps the talent will come from
over the water as the costume which
Mrs. Garner wore at the luncheon
she gave for Mrs. Roosevelt.
| Mrs. Garner never dimes out, re-
manning at home with the Vice Presi-
dent. though she has torn" herself
away for the annual stunt" parties
of the Women's National Press Club
and the "gridiron" parties at the
White House. But Mrs. Garner enjoys
lunch parties and is almost daily to

souri,, Thursday, and Mrs. j. Borden
