District Makes Social History Despite Storms And Threatening Skies iWhite House Garden Party—Cabinet Wedding and “Feast of Reason" Considered Sparkling Events of the Week. SALLIE V, H. PICKETT. WASHINGTON makes social history easily, and truly no more inter esting pages or more diversified will be furnished to posterity than those of last week. A White House garden party, a cabi net wedding, “a feast of reason and flow of soul 4 ’ in the beauti ful Pan-American Union building, when the ambassador ot Chile and Senora de Mathieu were hosts for a gifted countrywoman; a reception at the Congressional Club for diplomats, a notable local wedding yesterday and then the horse show, when the officers thereof gave evidence of their real sporting blood in starting off Friday with heavy track and threatening sky and after a continuous downpour of days—all combined into a bril liant whole. , , was some kind providence which furnished a cessation of rain during the hours of Mrs. Coolidge's garden party and for the Brugg mann-Wallacc wedding the day before, both affairs bringing together large companies of important persons in the official and social world- The President lent his presence on both occasions, assisting Mrs. Coolidge in receiving at the garden party Thursday and attending the wedding cere mony and reception with her Wednesday, when Miss Mary Wallace became the bride of Dr. Charles Bruggmann, a Swiss diplomat. Nor were these the only amusements the President indulged in as a relaxation from his official cares, for he did the wholesome American thing of going to the circus—accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge—and again attended her at the Army-Navy Relief ball Thursday night. WITH the most important events of this week scheduled for outdoors, society prays for clear skies and even bright sunshine. Thursday of this week will be marked by another garden party with the First Lady of the Land as hostess and the President assisting her, and they will both attend the Olympic fete tomorrow, occupying conspicuous seats in a specially arranged box and surrounded by important personages. The national Olympic fete at Griffith Stadium will show many of the athletes who will represent this country against the world’s best sportsmen in France during the coming summer. / T r WO other big outdoor affairs, both with the beautiful sloping lawn of Airlie, the suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Kauffmann, as a setting, will be the garden party of the Washington Club tomorrow after noon, and the outdoor party of the Archeological Society of Washington, Friday afternoon, May 23, at 4:30 o’clock, when Mr. Robert Lansing, former Secretary of State and president of the society, will preside. Mr. and Mrs. Kauffmann and Dr. John Crayke Simpson will jointly serve as hosts. 'TWO more big events in the open are scheduled for the week* both tak ing place Wednesday afternoon and, strangely enough, only a few blpcks apart. One is the House of Mercy annual benefit garden party and bazaar in the Cathedral close on Wisconsin avenue, when a dozen diversi fied pleasures will be offered for folk of all ages, sizes and tastes. There one will meet the cream of resident society, who annually mingle at the House of Mercy outdoor party. THE other garden party, also on Wisconsin avenue, is at Mount Alto i Hospital, a wonderful place with a wonderful view, Washington and its environs lying like a beautiful picture at one’s very feet. The garden party is annually arranged by the George Baldwin McCoy Unit of the American Women’s Legion, and this year Mrs. Coolidge lends her name to head the list of patronesses, as did Mrs. Harding, while she reigned as mistress of the White House. Articles made by ex-service men, under the direction of the occupational therapy department, will be on exhibition and sale, and other women who serve as patronesses and further the success of the garden party are Senora de Riano, the American wife of the Spanish ambassador, and Baroness de Cartier de Marchienne, the American wife of the Belgian ambassador. / T f HE week closed with a brilliant local wedding, that of Miss Anna Car roll Montgomery and Mr. James Newman Carter, jr., yesterday, and this week will furnish another “old Washington” event of similar impor tance in the wedding Tuesday of Miss Elizabeth Hamlin Young, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hervey Young, to Lieut.
