Wasiunotok, D. C, March 13. HAVE you noticed how complote ly sackcloth and ashei h:ve gone out of style for soj'ety's Lenten wear? And how Ml C&rrme. which used to bo on evening of frivolity Injected Into the f..rty days of fasting and prayer llkp the cent of "comic relief" Into a Shake spearean tragedy la now, when Lent Is so little observed that the relict 1 scarcely needed, spun out to pretty Hourly a wek? The week Wan with a lovely birth day party, celebrating tho annlver-ary of a nation rather than an Individual, and ran through pretty nearly the tiMial number of more or lew formal d nners and luncheons and teas, In-ri-idinR a brilliant reception In honor r.f Oen. Pershing on Friday nnd a mar dinner dance "for the veneflt n" on Wednesday to a series of prtie at the end of the week for Ms Melon Taft, who has been hrc In i h Interest of the Bryn Mawr en rtmnnrnt drive. It was rather re niarfnhlo. too, In Washington, where V r Administration circle Is, ex officio, th nnn around which the othen tnre or lens revolve and tills Admlnlst'a tirn has vry few scruples based on I n'"n observance that tho Cabinet nnrt White Houe set hod almtst no pirt in the week's paycty. In fact It wm rather conspicuously absent. The most thrilling thing the Presi dent or Mrs. Wilson did In tho coune of the wek was .to go out motoring. H looks well has much better color than was reported by those who rnught an occasional glimpse of l.lm In His wheeled chair In tho White Hou.e jrrounds a month or two ago.

And most of the responso n recnRnltlon from passing friends roraci from Mrs. Wilson. Howevr, It It regarded as a great step forward tba he 's able to be out at all. nirthdnr of njrabllo. The birthday celebrated was at once t birthday and a. debut the first birth day of an Infant republic, Czecho-Rlo-i skin, and the seventieth of Its patriot P'ildent, Dr. Thomas Garrlgue Masa-rk- -nnd the social debut of the Cxecho P'ovaklnn Legation here at a large re rintinn Riven at tho Wlllsrd by Presi dent Masaryk's son, Jan Garrlgue Masa rk. charge d'affaires. It was the first p-rty the legation had given, and was ore if the most delightful and perfectly nnnolnted of the season. Young Maaaryk Is half American. His mother was a Miss Garrigue of St Iiii. of a musical family. And her son proved a musician of no small ability t ien for two of her encores he played tie accompaniments for Mme. Emmy Pest Inn, prima donna, who came from New York especially to sing. He Is b really brilliant young man who has had most Interesting career and thrilling wiir experiences. His aunt Mrs. Henry M Ferguson, and Miss Lydla Ferguson, the host's cousin, assisted htm In receiv ing Monday night ojj did another cousin, Mrs Michael Gag Gallegher of Chi cago, and Mme. Vladimir Hurban, wife Of the military attache of the legation. Their marriage at Chevy Chose last Au-suit-she was a Miss Olga Boor of Czezko-Slovaklan birth, but long In this country was one of the Interesting ro mances of the. war's aftermath. Prstty Lydla Ferguson la the same little lady who won all a couple of weeks ago by her delightful French chansons and Breton folk songi at the Votlchenko recital at Col. Thompson's. The huge flags the Stars and Stripes and the new flag of the now republic, shown for the first time In Washing ton since Its adoption, were prominently displayed In the Wlllard ballroom at the reception. The flag Is of two equal portions of red and white, running horl sontally and separated by a wedge of bluemost effective In Its simplicity, and, of course, an object of considerable Interest Mme. Destlnn sang folk songs which were roundly applauded, and routed enthusiasm with her spirited rendering of the Czech "Freedom Song." Later In the evening she was presented to Miss Margaret Wilson, who paid her many oompltments on her singing. Oh yes, Miss Wilson was there-very much sol She came early and stayed late for the dsnclng, and was, as usual, rather constantly the centre of on In terested group. She wore one of those flowing "Oreek drapery" gowns that she nearly always wears peacock green chiffon embroidered In varl-colorcd silks built over a petticoat of dull gold lace, and on her hair a becoming chap let of gold leaves. She bore felicita tions from her father who had already mad a through the State Department proper official recognition pf tho anni versary. World and His Wife There. For the rest well, the world and his wife were there, especially the diplo matic world, headed by the French Ambassador, Mr. Jusserand, and his wife. Really, I don't think of any one In tho diplomatic corps who was missing. Europe. Asia and South America seemed to be vlelng with each other In their desire to welcome this recent addition to the family of nations. Thero were a good many American officials present one recalls the Breckinridge Long?, Herbert Hengstler, Mr. Fred Emory and his sister, as representing the -State, Department; Judge Bamuel Gordon Graham, the John Skelton Wllllamsei.

The only members of It visible were the Secretary of Commerce and Mrs. Alexander, and Miss Sidney Burle son, daughter of the Postmaster Gen eral, and Mrs. Albert Sidney Burleson. There may have been others there. i q-imiim MISS MARGARET WILSON. but as one thinks of tt the administra tion circle secmj so thoroughly shot to pieces that It seems probable that there, were not The Vice-President and Mrs. Marshall are In their bungalow at Scottsdale, Ariz., and expect to remain In the West until tho middle of April, unless official business necessitates Mr. Marshall's return earlier. Mrs. Daniels had been down In North Carolina for about ten days, and did not return In time for the Czecho-Slovak birthday party. Tho family of tho Secretary of Labor, William B.

Justice Day of the United States Supreme Court la president of this organliatlon and presided at last Monday's meeting a brief business meeting followed by a re ception and dance. There waa considerable entertaining for Mr Williams all during fhe begin ning of the week. The Pomerenea en tertained at luncheon for her and Justice Day and Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Day enter tained at dinner for her. She waa Mrs. William Hamilton Bayly's guest while she waa here and she shared honors with Mrs. Channlng Lloyd of Bristol, R. I., at Mme.' Groultch'a lunoheon on Tuesday. Mrs. Lloyd arrived In Waahlpgton Tuesday morning to spend a few days at the legation of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes aa the gueet of Dr. and Mme. Groultch, who are about the most Incur ably hospitable people In the diplomatic circle. They have a constant succemlon of guests, frequently several at a time. Thus Lady Campbell of England was with them for a couple of months thtfl winter. Lady Campbell left about a wek ago and sailed for Jamaica, where she will remain for a month, after which she will return to the United States and make some visits In the neighborhood of Bea ton before returning to England. She waa here long enough to get fairly well acquainted, and her departure haa really left quite a hole. Apparently the con nection between Mme. Groultch and Mrs. Williams lay In the fact that Mr. Will iams Is treasurer of the Cleveland com mittee for Serbian relief, and Mme. Groultch Is Indefatigable where there Is any suggestion of help for poor little Serbia. It Is really rather Interesting to con template the growing social Importance of the Ministers of- mm of the little newborn war countries, such as Serbia, Rumania (Major TIeruranu and his young wife, formerly Miss Humphreys of Philadelphia). Poland (Prince and Princess Lubomlrskl) and now Czecho slovakia. It Is a lively and Interesting group of diplomats, who are aireadr in great demand socially. ?fo party Is complete without them, especially Mme. Groultch and Princess Lubomlrska. That dinner dance at the St Mark's cafe was the Ml-Careme party par excellence. Since It Involved the Marines, Major Gen, and Mra. Barnett were naturally greatly Interested, and Mrs. Barnett headed the receiving group, which In cluded Mrs. Mahlon Pitney, Mm. Charles Boughton Wood, Mrs. Marshall Field, Sirs. Gist Blair, aa well as Mme. Maro Peter. She was the only, foreigner In the party, you observe, and they hadn't the excuse that her husband represented one of the countries whose battle the U. S. M. C was fighting. So It seemed a bit Illogical. Her being there was simply a tribute to her personal popularity with the cream of Washington society.
