1215c Ha in ' i ? > t ' i By E. C. DRUM-HUNT. June was Inaugurated with quite a flurry of formal entertaining. . The first woek-of the first "official". month of summer was marked by *a list of official dinners and other entertainments that would have 7 done credit to the midwinter social - season. It seemed as though every one was trying to squeeze in the last few days before leaving town all of their social obligations which they had neglected or postponed .tor one reason or another, and the result was a vary gay week Inideed. . "This week irill see the departure of Washington society almost en .masse for Chicago to attend the 'Republican convention. The few 'who aren't going out there to see the fun will leava for some re^>rt or for Europe, or are preparing to attend the convention In California. 'People who haven't doited their homes here since the great war started in 1914 are going to seek recreation* elsewhere this summer, jike the French Ambassador and <Hme. Jusserand, for example, or 'the former Secretary of State at^l Jlrs. Lansing. The latter havs taken vacations but never closed their house in town as Mr. Lansing could never ibe absent long at a time from his ^desk and never knew when he 'would have to run back here to . town when he was away, so the Lansing?rather the Foster house, <was always open and ready for any of the family. Jl'JSKRANDS PLANNING JOURNEY TO FRANCE. This year the Jusserands are planning to go to their home Jn f France and the Lansings will dei part about the middle of the month 1 for their summer home at Henderson Harbor, N. T., making the trip by motor. They will be Joined a little leter by Mrs. Lansing s mother. Mrs. John W. Foster. But the Juserands and the Lansings are only two examples of promi.nent folks who are leaving town early and will stay away until late ,in the fall and close their homes : here for the first time In six years ttr more. There will be many such this summer. It will be the first summer in some time that Conrgress hasn't been in session at least the greater part of the warm ] season. That busy body adjourned yesterday and almost Immediately every member of it scurried out of town, having its trunks packed and all details arranged for a quick git away for several days in advance. In order to close up all important business impending, the Senate all last week began sessions at 10 o'clock, two hours earlier than the usual meeting time, and the various committee chairmen . were urged to hasten their work in order to clean up loose ends of legislation. . Really the way they all hurried off was positively funny. Most of them went to Chicago or will rea?M? there the first of the week, stopping perhaps at home or elsewhere for a day or two before attending the convention. Others went home tO| look after their affairs there, while till others?they are decidedly in the minority?went to their summer homes or to some resort to rest. But the resorts won't be crowded until after July this year for people from all over the country are being attracted to Chi.cagv and San Francisco, either or both, and won't cOtfsider a summer resort until the summer is. half over. In fact, many of those who go to San Francisco will remain there at least until the first of August, while many won't come East until fall. dl'IET ?1 MMRR I.OOM9 FOR WASHINGTON. Apparently, judging by the signs, Washington Is going to have the "quietest summer in many years; certainly since 1914 at any rate. There is every indication that the city will be practically deserted. One reason for it is. that so many people didn't go away for any length of time, for various reasons, while the war was on. now they ail feel now as though they both want and need a good long vacation. Then Congress and its business has kept many in town and attracted many here every summer for a cumber of years now and there won't even be that attraction this season. Of course the conventions are the greatest drawing cards taking people out of town and also the opportunity to see Europe after being denied that pleasure for some yefirs, is taking many across the bi? l>ond this year. Washington, which has been the center of attraction for people from all parts of the country ?all the world In fact?for six years or more is going to be entirely out of the running for the next few months. One notable at least, though, will "stick with us" for a while; the President. He Isn't planning to go any place or do much of anything, evidently, until after July, and mAyhe not then. He is having the Mayflower, the Presidential yacht, overhauled, and Comdr. Ralston S. Holmes, commanding the yacht, called at the White House last week RIZIK BR 1213 F ! v / I WILL CKOSE ( At Final Clear; i/i 115 Women's and FRO , . # - ' $48.00, Actual \ It <f i if- H -lift ~ i.ri afcjfifn iff if and reported that all would be In! readiness for a cruise In about a I week now,, but it ia thought that! the yacht will not be used by the President that early. He is too much Interested in the ' coming: conventions to even think I of leaving his base of communlcation until they are over, at any rate, and. you see. the Democratic convention doesn't open until the 28th of this month. I doubt If he takes even any. week-end cruises. No plans of evep a tentative nature have been made for the President to leave Washington before July, so far as It can be learned. It Is understood that the President will remain at the White House, where there are all conveniences I and facilities for hla care and comfort. until the weather becomes extremely warm. The Charles ft. Crane place at Woods Hole. Mass.. I which the President considered using for the "Summer White House," will not be occupied at an this summer, with the Cranes all abroad. The key was Just turned in tho door?except for the servants, of course. last week was bfsy period for society. At any rate, this last week of social activity was "some week." One of the most interesting parties was a dinner given by the Secretary of State and Mrs. Bainbridge Colby, I their second official dinner since Mr. Colby entered the Cabinet. Their guests Included the dean of the diplomatic corps, the French Ambassador and Mme. Jusserand, the Russian Ambassador and Mme. Bakhmeteff, the Belgian Ambassador. Baron de Cartier;-the Japanese Ambassador and Mme. Shldehara. the Italian Ambassador and Baroness Romano, the Peruvian Ambassador and Senora de Pexet; the Brazilian Ambassador, Mr. Cochrane de Alencar: the Sec- i retary of War and Mrs. Baker, the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels, Senator and Mrs. Hitchcock, i Mrs. Hampson Gary, wife of the 1 United States Minister to Switier- i land: Mr. ahd Mrs. John Hays Ham- i mond. Miss Mabel Boardman, Miss Christina Sedgwick, Miss Colby and , Mr. Covin. , Quite a distinguished company. Then the Colbys were the honor I guests at a dinner which the Rus- i sian Ambassador and Mme.

What did i hey drink their health In. did you i lay? Oh. I'm told there is a very arge supply of "everything-' at the j British embassy. All the atate stl- I er was used on that great occaion. including a solid silver dinner ervice, and the orderlies were an I n full dress uniform. Both the British ambassador and the French f imbassador wore all of their deco- i ations and the ambassadorial flag a lew over the embassy. The table c ras a glorious aight with its dec- ?

It is a busy life they lead ( ?they are in such demand for en- ' ertainments of all sorts. But it ^ is the penalty they pay for being ' n public life and being so extremely popular.
