SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. THE return to the White House of the President and Mrs. Harding, which will be followed by the return tomorrow of several cabinet members, brings official society almost to its normal state again, though members of the lower house and their families will con¬ tinue their absence for almost the full length of the House vacation. The strength of the Senate circle in Washington will be shown Tuesday after¬ noon, when Mrs. T. Coleman du Pont entertains the Senate Ladies' Club on a picinic party down the Potomac on her husband's yacht, Tech. There is quite a ripple of excitement in the august upper house over the rumor that Mrs. Harding will also attend the luncheon, and, perhaps she, too, will carry along her sandwiches, as will other members of the club. LONG summer sessions of Congress have brought the congressional set, who formerly only knew the capital from December to March, to a fuller appreciation of the beauties of the District of Columbia. Long auto¬ mobile trails lead one to various points of vantage on the outskirts of the city proper, which makes it easy to see why George Washington chose to locate the capital here. With a glimpse of Virginia hills visible from almost the lowest elevations of the city, one beholds from the high¬ est points a full sweep of the Potomac, and an endless chain of the Blue Ridge mountains. Senator Frank B. Brandegee is one of the solons of the Senate who appreciate the gigantic importance of the world's most important capital, and has bought several hundred acres in the Potomac district, and recently a tract near the Congressional County Club. T1THILE from a business standpoint the trend for country places in the District is important, it also shows a change in the taste of the social world from the time when Dupont circle was the mecca of the wealthy folk who sought winter homes in the capital for the sake of diplomatic and official association^ and who are now real home-hunters for the whole year around. Even embassies and legations are daring to move without the once sacred calling precinct from I to S streets and from 15th to 20th streets, with an occasional drifting over the boundary, such as Mrs. John B. Henderson's home, which was once thought to mark the end of 16th street. One has only to read the real estate section of a daily paper to watch the trend. OUFFICIENT space for a ballroom and a formal banquet hall were only ^ a few years ago deemed all that was adequate for a winter residence in Washington, while today one hesitates to accept an invitation, even in the late spring, where there are not broad galleries and a beautiful lawn and garden with which to refresh the vision. Added to such beautiful suburban places as Twin Oaks, Woodley. Westover, Airlie, Highover, Friendship, Falkland, the Montgomery Blair estate, the Leiter home and others, an,d a veritable fringe of homes with ample lawns on the imme¬ diate outskirts of the city, will be the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Par¬ sons Erwin, on the edge of Rock Creek Park, and the more extensive places recently bought nearby. 'MANY important persons besides those of the executive family will return tomorrow from their "over-the-Fourth" vacations, feut the diplomats, especially the younger ones, will form broken ranks for the rest of the summer. Tennis at Newport, polo at Narragansett, golf on Long Island and the wonderful clubs along the New England coast will, from now on, claim the sport and pleasure loving. Seashore mountain tnd country will each claim its quota of fashionable folk, while as pointed ^jtt by the Social Register Association, Europe claims 20 to the sea- »aore s 11 per cent. The New England coast claims by far the greater pumber of persons of society.diplomats, officials and the merely smart «T»HE Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge, who have been leading an ex- J- ceedingly quiet existence, so far as social diversion goes, had a de- Bghtful example of old Virginia hospitality in their visit Thursday to Fredericksburg, when Mr Coolidge made the chief address at the initial meeting of the Kenmore Association, an organization formed to institute a drive for the purchase of Kenmore. While in Fredericksburg thev were guests of the well known artist, Gari Melchers, who occupies a beautiful estate, Belmont, and who has given great interest to the historic section awce residing there. Mr. Melchers loves his Virginia estate quite as much as he does his studio tn Rue Galvant, Pans, where meet all the irreat painter, of the French capital. Decorated by all thTmoS import. E^pe, he is represented in each of the great galleriesand in Washington by his mural decoration, "Peace and War," in the Li brary of Congress and by a portrait <jf President Roosevelt in the collection, in the Smithsonian Institution.
