Mrs. Roosevelt Faces
Busy Week, Opened
By Red Cross Meeting
Dinner Parties Are Scheduled for Tuesday
and Wednesday Nights at
Italian Embassy.
BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT.
The mistress of the White House re
turns Tuesday from New York, and
scarcely will she “rest her hat" until
she begins her strenuous program for
the week, receiving the delegates to the
Red Cross Conference at 3:30 o'clock
that day, and some time shortly after
her arrival she will hold a White
House conference for newspaper wom
en. She is especially enjoying a peep
from the south front windows of the
Upper floor of the old Mansion for a
glimpse of the far-away hue of pale
pink cherry blossoms about the Basin.
And on the south front lawn of the
White House there is an exquisite va
riety of blooming and budding trees
and shrubs, the pink magnolias, with
a wealth of blossom on their bare
boughs, making a lovely picture.
There is charming intimacy in the
little aside acts of Mrs. Roosevelt at
these weekly conferences, like that* of
last week. when, at the end of more
serious discussions, she showed the
woman writers the lovely Philippine
dresses presented to her by a delega
tion. including Mrs. Key Pittman. Mrs.
William H. Larrabee and Mrs. Delgado,
wife of a Commissioner from the
Islands. Then she told of her trip to
the Corcoran Gallery last Sunday to
aee the Biennial Show of American
Paintings.
Mrs. Roosevelt's interests spread far!
And wide, and among other events to'
which she has lant her name is the
fifteenth annual Butterfly ball, a din
ner dance to be held April 23 at the
Ritz-Carlton. in New York, and for
which Mrs. James Roosevelt, the Presi
dent’* mother, also is an honorary
sponsor. The House of Rest is the
beneficiary, and the grand prize is a
trip de luxe to Bermuda. •
The restful season of Lent? Well,
Just see what one single group of Wash
ington society folk is doing, and it
sounds like the gayest of Midwinter
seasons. Dinner parties will be given
st the Italian Embassy Tuesday and
Wednesday nights. Mme. de Laboulaye
will have a musicale at the French
embassy Tuesday afternoon, when,
besides the music, both she and the
Ambassador will tell their many guests
how much they enjoyed the old French
quarter of New Orleans, where they
recently visited. Today the Minister of
Switserland and Mme. Peter are to
entertain at luncheon, and the Minister
of Panama and Senora Dona Amelia
L. de Alfaro are to entertain in the
same midday fashion, and they also
have out invitations for a dinner party
Thursday night.
Tuesday night the Minister of
Hungary and Mme. Pelenyi will enter
tain at dinner for the French Ambas
sador and Mme. de Laboulaye, and
Thursday Mme. Pelenyi will have a
luncheon in honor of Mrs. Swanson,
wifs of the Secretary of the Navy, who
i 4
is recently returned from South Caro
lina. Thursday is also the day chosen
by Mrs. Close, wife of the Minister of
the Union of South Africa, for a
luncheon in honor of Mrs. James
Crawford Biggs, whose husband re
cently retired from the office of So
licitor General. Last night the Chief
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court and Mrs. Hughes were enter
tained at dinner at the Japanese Em
bassy, and the Ambassador of Ger
many, Herr Hans Luther, called his
particular men friends about him
for a bockbierabend party, and the
best of German food accompanied the
draughts of the best beer ever quaffed.
"Ambassador Troyanovsky of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has i
grown a bit wary about unbidden i
guests to social affairs, and after hav- j
ing tiis well intended hospitality taken !
advantage of on various ocoasions
he profited by the experience of his
colleague, Herr Hans Luther, who
entertained his fellow members of
the corps and their wives, the men
and women on his social list and
then — quite inadvertently — many
citizens on the street, at a muslc&ie
and reception Monday afternoon.
When Mr. Troyanovsky gave an
evening party Tuesday he did Just what
every host and hostess should do
under similar circumstances. He had
the names of the guests checked on
the invitation list just after they
entered the embassy. Of course, it
caused a litle delay, but it made the
evening a much more pleasant one
for the hosts and for their guests who
had the courtesy to send acceptances.
But to return to the German Am
bassador—well, whatever delightful
memory_ might have_ lingered with
