Capital Society Enlivened, ByReturn ofHardingsand

i Cabinet Members to CityStrength of Senate Circle Will Be Shown on Mrs.]

du Pont's Picnic Party.Mrs. HardingMay Carry Own Sandwiches.

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 cabinetmembers, 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. Thestrength of the Senate circle in Washington will be shown Tuesday after¬noon, when Mrs. T. Coleman du Pont entertains the Senate Ladies' Clubon a picinic party down the Potomac on her husband's yacht, Tech. Thereis 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 ofthe city proper, which makes it easy to see why George Washingtonchose to locate the capital here. With a glimpse of Virginia hills visiblefrom 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 BlueRidge mountains. Senator Frank B. Brandegee is one of the solons ofthe Senate who appreciate the gigantic importance of the world's mostimportant capital, and has bought several hundred acres in the Potomacdistrict, and recently a tract near the Congressional County Club.

T1THILE from a business standpoint the trend for country places in theDistrict is important, it also shows a change in the taste of the

social world from the time when Dupont circle was the mecca of thewealthy folk who sought winter homes in the capital for the sake ofdiplomatic and official association^ and who are now real home-huntersfor the whole year around. Even embassies and legations are daring tomove without the once sacred calling precinct from I to S streets andfrom 15th to 20th streets, with an occasional drifting over the boundary,such as Mrs. John B. Henderson's home, which was once thought to markthe end of 16th street. One has only to read the real estate section of adaily 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 residencein Washington, while today one hesitates to accept an invitation, even inthe late spring, where there are not broad galleries and a beautiful lawnand garden with which to refresh the vision. Added to such beautifulsuburban places as Twin Oaks, Woodley. Westover, Airlie, Highover,Friendship, Falkland, the Montgomery Blair estate, the Leiter home andothers, 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 extensiveplaces recently bought nearby.

'MANY important persons besides those of the executive family willreturn tomorrow from their "over-the-Fourth" vacations, feut thediplomats, especially the younger ones, will form broken ranks for the

rest of the summer. Tennis at Newport, polo at Narragansett, golf onLong Island and the wonderful clubs along the New England coast will,from now on, claim the sport and pleasure loving. Seashore mountaintnd 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 greaterpumber 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 toFredericksburg, when Mr Coolidge made the chief address at the initialmeeting of the Kenmore Association, an organization formed to institutea drive for the purchase of Kenmore. While in Fredericksburg thev wereguests of the well known artist, Gari Melchers, who occupies a beautifulestate, Belmont, and who has given great interest to the historic sectionawce residing there. Mr. Melchers loves his Virginia estate quite as muchas he does his studio tn Rue Galvant, Pans, where meet all the irreatpainter, of the French capital. Decorated by all thTmoS import.E^pe, he is represented in each of the great galleriesandin Washington by his mural decoration, "Peace and War," in the Library of Congress and by a portrait <jf President Roosevelt in thecollection, in the Smithsonian Institution.
