Mrs. Roosevelt
Gives ca

1t took more than yesterdays
doWnpour to dampen the en-
thusiasm of the several thousands
who attended Mrs. Roosevelt's tea
at the White House.
Moist but happy the tea guests
streamed by their hostess shaking
hands and Hurrying forthwith to
the state dining room and famous
East Room to devour tons of tiny
sandwiches, literally bushels of
small cakes and gulp down gallons
of tea and coffee.
Mrs. Roosevelt had selected for
the afternoon a gown in bright
crimson crepe with touches of
gold brocade at neckline and belt.
She greeted the guests as they
filed up from the first floor, stand
ing by a column in the main
corridor, White House aides on
either hand.
BY the door Of the Blue Room
Postmaster Farley held court,
Secretary of Labor Perkins, arriv-
ing bit late, was surrounded by
another. Each Cabinet officer or
Cabinet officers wife had their
own little group that trailed them
around the big rooms.
SiStie and BuZzie Attend
Buzzie and Sistie Dali, with their
governess, took in the sights sta
toned by the main staircase. The
governess was heard to caution
them:
You don't have to answer all
the questions"
Miss Nancy Cook, from the N. Y.
State Democratic headquarters,
chatted with Fannie Hurst and
Harriet Chalmers Adams in the
East Room. Miss May Ward, i'm
migration commissioner for Bos-
ton and one of the leading visiting
lady Democrats, was greeted with
congratulations upon her recov-
cry from the illness that has for
some weeks made her a prisoner
in her hotel room here. At the
coffee table in the East Room
Mrs. Malvinia Thompson Schneider,
Mrs. Roosevelt's own secretary,
identified the visiting notables for
an interested group.
After the last guests had been
properly greeted Mrs. Roosevelt
in her scarlet robes trailed through
the East Room and dining room
to see "if the supper was holding
out" 1t was. Piles of good things
heaped every. table with reinforce
ments from the kitchen arriving
every minute.

Mary Dewson
Feted Today

Since this is the day Of lady
politicians, or rather ladies in pol
itics, the breakfast at noon today
to Miss Mary w. Dewson, vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, was a fitting
conclusion to two days of hectic
inaugural entertaining.
Miss Dewson, or Molly" as she
is known to every Democrat in the
country, from the President down
to the lowliest ward leader, is
Jim" Farley'S right-hand man.
What Big Jim" is to the men in
the party Molly is to the women.
Her keen political sense is highly
valued by both the P. M. G. and
the President and the lady Demo-
Gratis from Maine Ooh yes, there
are Decomrats in Maine, tool to
California swear by her.
Today's breakfast, at noon at
the Mayflower, was the Demo-
cratic ladies' tribute to their be-
loved leader. 1t was strictly q
party for the girls" but the Post
master General, Mr.. Farley, at his
own request, was present for a few
minutes to pay his respects to his
political teammate. The party'S
been in the air for some weeks,
and Mr. Farley plaintively wrote
the chairman of the doingS, Miss
Lavinia Engle, cant Molly's boy
friends come and meet her girl
friends, too."
1t is. incidentally, a surprise for
Miss DeWSon, but since the ladies
haven't been able to keep it en-
tirely quiet she probably suspects
the truth by this time. Surprises
when several thousand women
(and an equal number of huS-
bands, etc. know about it are apt
to get about.
Mrs. Roosevelt. who lunches
later today with Mrs. Morgenthau,
will be on time for the breakfast
at noon but will have to skip out
before the conclusion of festivities.
So also will Representative Caro-
line O'Day and number of the
other Democratic ladies who are
engaged to lunch with the wife Of
the Secretary of the Treasury.
The program is strictly off the
record, but the planners Of the
breakfast have arranged to turn
the tables on Miss DeWSon WiTh
her own famous reporter plan. The
plan, too we'll known to need eX-
planation here, worked so success
fully during the campaign thaS
they are going to see how well it
will do to explain Miss DewSon'S
success to her co-workers in the
party.

An astonished guest at the
White House luncheon yester-
day spied an elegantly attired
matron stuffing little sand
wiches in her bag. Caught,
she blushed and murmured:
Gust a few little souvenirs
for the children"
The girls OF the Lackawanna
Fife and Drum Corps, in their
brilliant scarlet and gold uni
forms, added a gay bit of color
to yesterdays White House tea.
They came down to march and
remained to lunch and nibble
sandwiches and cakes at the
tea.

itors in Washington just now is

pany, who is a guest of the
Third Secretary of the Cana
dian Legation and Mrs. Ron

of Winnipeg, the Canadians are
proud of her sensational rise
in light opera. She is very
young and vivacious, with
sparkling dark eyes.
Glimpsed Mrs. Eugene Leg
gett lunching at the Mayflower
yesterday. The popular "Tex"
appears to have gone Russian
on us, judging by the Kolinsky
toque she wore that matched
the luscious wrap thrown over
the back of her chair. Which
reminds us that the President
refused to call her ruddy-haired
husband "Red," using his first
name, Eugene, until so much
confusion resulted, owing to
him failing to respond to his
right name, that the President
had to resort to the nickname
that is so much a term of
opprobrium these days.
If you have missed Mrs. j.
Clinton Tribbey's sunny smile
of late it is because that
charming person has left for
Arkansas for a short while.
However, we hope to have her
back with us very soon.
