The Vice President and Mrs. Mar¬ shall. with their small foster son, Morrison MarshaJl, for whom they "make Christmas," wilt spend the holidays with Mrs. William Line Klder, in Indianapolis. They started West yesterday, and expect to be gone until after New Yer. There will be a Christmas tree, with all the "trim¬ mings** for the little lad, -who has ' grown very close to Mr. and Mrs. Marshall's hearts; and Mrs. Marshall confessed that half her pleasure in going home to Indianapolis was to show off her little son. The Secretary of State and Mrs. Lansing are leaving town on Christ¬ mas Ere to spend Christmas with his sisters, the Misses Emma and Kate Lansing, at Watertown, N. Y., and expact to be back the following Sat¬ urday. Mrs. Lansing's mother, Mrs. John W. Foster, is remaining at her Washington home and will have her grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. John Foster Dulles, now residents of Wash¬ ington. and Mataline Dulles, to help her celebrate the holiday. Miss Dulles is taking the nurses' training course at Walter Reed Hospital. It is prob¬ able that Mrs. Foster's daughter, Mrs. A. M. Dulles, and Miss Eleanor Dulles, will also spend Christmas with her. The retiring Secretary of the Treas¬ ury and Mr3. Carter Glass will go to j their home in Lynchburg, Va., for the holiday season and will have their whole family together for tHe first time ia three years. Augusta Glass will accompany them.

Mrs. Baker's brother, Kalph I<eopold, will probably co ne from New York to stay with them, and there's a possibility that another brother. Capt. DeKoy D^opold. will get back from the Yosemite, where he was when last heard from, in time to spend Christmas with them. He's now'out of the service, by the way. Attorney General and Wife Ta Stay Hrrr.' The Attorney General and Mrs. A. Mitchell Palmer expect to be in town and will have a little holiday celebration for their small daughter, Mary Dixon Palmer. Their niece, Mary Dixon Ferris; who has been with them for several weeks, has gone to her grandfather's home, the old Dixon homestead on the East¬ ern Shore of Maryland, for the holi¬ days, but will probably come back to visit the Palmers later, Dast year Mr. and Mrs. Palmer had a cele¬ bration for the various ramification? of their family, twenty-three guests sitting down to their Christmas din¬ ner. The Posmaster General and Mrs. Burleson are childless for the nonce, their only unmarried daughter, Sidney Burleson, being with the American Minister to Sweden and Mrs. Ira Nel¬ son Morris in Stockholm, to remain until late in January. They'll have rather a lonely Christmas, as Mr. Burleson cannot get away from his duties for a holiday visit to either of the other girls. Mrs Richard Van Wyck Negley or Mrs. Charles Greene Grimes, having just spent Thanks¬ giving in San Antonto. Tex., with the Negleys, and Mrs. Burleson won't leave her husband. > The Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Dane are planning the quietest sort of a Christmas, and so are the Secretary of Dabor and Mrs. Wilson. The Lanes have their daughter. Nan¬ cy Dane, with them, of course, but their son. Franklin K. Danf. jr.. Is In California. The three Wilson girls. Agnes Hart Wilson, Mary Wilson, and Jessie Wilson, are at hdme, but none of the six sons of the Secretary and Mrs. Wilson will be with them. Jo¬ seph Wilson, who is with the Ship¬ ping Board. Is now on his way to France. William B. Wilson, jr.. is living In Philadelphia. James Wilson is at the family home in Blossburg. and the other sons, Adam. Hugh, and Thomas Wilson, are scattered about Pennsylvania. The Secretary of Commerce ana Mrs. Alexander have a son in Ore¬ gon and a son and daughter in Mis¬ souri, who will not be with them this year, but their household includes their son-in-law and daughter, Dr. and Mrs. N. I. Jenner, Misa Rowena Alexander, and two son».quite enough to make Christmas a merry day. , ... j The Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Houston are to have a young people's house party, organised by land for their son, David Franklin Houston, jr., and the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs. Daniels will have the merriest of family parties. Their son, Josephus Daniels, jr., who was In France last Christmas, will be with them this year, coming up from Ral¬ eigh, N. C., where he ia acting as business manager of his father s pa¬ per. And the other boys. Worth Bag- ley Daniels, Jonathan, and Frank, will be home from school and college. Mrs. Daniels' mother and sisters, Mrs. ^ Bagley and the Misses Ethel and Belle Bagley, will also be with them for their Christmas celebration. Houatoaa' Party to Be Held After Cfcrlatmaa. The Houmous' Christmas party, by the way, isn't to convene until after Christmas.if one may be permitted an Irishism. Their son is due to¬ morrow to remain until after the New Year, but their guests, class¬ mates of young Houston at Harvard, aren't coming until later. In time to take part In the post-Christmas fea- tivities. Celebrations at the various embas¬ sies and legations give a cosmopoli¬ tan touch to Christmas in Washing- ion. The French Ambassador and Mine. Jusserand and the Spanish Am¬ bassador and Mme. de Riano always entertaJn their embassy people at din¬ ner on Christmas Eve. Usually there's a dinner at the British em¬ bassy. with a Christmas tree party for the children in the afternoon, but probably not this year, as the am¬ bassador maintains a bachelor estab¬ lishment and the women and chil¬ dren connected with the embassy are conspicuously few. And "family ' din¬ ners.the "official family." which in¬ cludes usually a number of lonely bachelor secretaries.are In order either on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day at most of the embassies and le¬ gations in Washington. Country Home Ball Will Be MrrrifM. The Christmas festivities will reach their climax at the Children's Country Home ball, an annual event and al¬ ways one of the merriest as well as perhaps the "smartest" of the whole gri.it of charity balls. About every other person one runs into is someone home for the holiday season, Washington men who have Special Reductions HAT TRIMMINGS OF ALL KINDS Fur hats covered on the new Ft vie frames.

Besides there's nothing: like a dance as an aid to digestion.after turkey and plum pudding "an' fixin's." Ever since the board of the Chil¬ dren's Country Home started it* Christmas parties, Washington hos¬ tesses have given this annual function the right of way. When invitations for dinner parties are sent out it's usually understood that the guests are to go on to the ball and many a family dinner ends up at Rausch- er's where the festivities are in progress. This year there's a Christmas bud .Mona Blodgett.by way of an "ex¬ tra added attraction." Miss Blodgejtt rather late in making up her mind to come out. but having once decided to "go In for society," she's going in with a vengeance and there isn't a moment of the dayihat isn't filled. Moreover, she should be very thoroughly "out" when Christmas Day is over, with her tea in the after¬ noon and the young people's dinner which her mother. Mrs. Delos Blod¬ gett, is giving for her in the even¬ ing, the party winding up in the ac¬ cepted fashion at the Christmas ball. Myrtis Porcher, who has arrived from Florida, to spend the holidays with her aunt, \frill share debutante honors with her young cousin. laeladed, la All Debutante Keativltiea. The two girls are having a royal good time, for they are included in all the debutante festivities, and Mrs Blodgett has a party, luncheon or dinner, tea or matinee, pretty nearly every day for her flock of young peo¬ ple, which includes, of course, her elder daughter, Helen, her guest. Mary Helen Seelbach. of Eouisville, and Major and Mrs. .Jimmie" Walsh .they, by the way, are going to Florida to be with her parents, the Porchers for Christmas. The young Delos Blodgett^ were here for a day or two last week, but they couldn't stay over for Mona's coming out par'.y as a big reception is being given for them In Grand ^tapids, their home, on Christmas night, an engagement made long before that they knew that Mona was to make a formal debut at all. They were anxious to have Mrs. Blodgett and the girls with them lor Christmas, and the Porchers wanted them in Florida, but after all Wash¬ ington's "pull" was the strongest. D®an Roberta is another "belated bud," who will have a wonderful time despite the difficulty her moth¬ er, Mrs. Ernest William Roberts, had in finding a date on the crowded Christmas calendar for her coming out party. She's a college girl, you see, and will only be home for the holidays. As befits the daughter of a former president of the Congres¬ sional Club, she'll make her debut at the club. She will be presented in company with her chum. Charlotte Washburn, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. William Washburn; Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. V\ ashburn entertaining together.a tea dance it is to be.tomorrow after¬ noon. Then on January 3, Dr. and .Mrs. W ashburn will have a dlnne* dance at the Chevy Chase Club for the two girls and altogether they'll have a very gay time, their pleasures being doubled from the fact that they are sharing them. Margaret Crosson will also have her coming out party tomorrow, the tea having been put -off from Decem¬ ber 19 in order that her younger sis¬ ter. who is in school in Canada, might get home in time for the fes¬ tivities. On Christmas eve Dr. and Mrs. Thomas C. Martin are giving a tea at the Washington Club, to in¬ troduce their daughter, Peggy Mar¬ tin; and the Veeder girls, Minnie and Suzanne, with their little cousin. Mil¬ dred Green, will have a sort of in¬ formal debut at the dinner Commo¬ dore and Mrs. Veeder.the Ten Eyck De\\ itt Veeders.are giving for them at the Army and Navy Club also on ln'cemlipr 24. En.sjgn Ten Eyck DeWitt Veeder, jr., who is home for the holidays, and some of his mates will be "among those present." Mian Harriet Todd Another Pretty Bud. Another pretty htid, who is taking her plact- among the season's d»hu- tantes this Christ ma.- season is Har¬ riet Stewart Todd, daughter of Lieut. Col. Henry I>. Todd. U. S. A., and granddaughter of the late Prof. Hen¬ ry Todd. U. S. N.. famous for years as scientist and scholar as well as officer. So far she's had no formal coming out. In addition to all the debut parties Christmas week has its imposing list of halls and dances.Helen Heyl's dance at Rauseher's tomorrow night; Mrs. Ira C. Copley's long heralded hall on Tuesday night for Nancy l.ane and Francs Hampson. and on Wed¬ nesday Mr. and Mrs. U. Rosier Du- fany's dance for Ann* Dui any. a "companion piece" to the party they had ten days ago for their neice, Mary Custls I^ee. who was presented with Miss Dulany. There are several dinners that night, notably the one following Peggy Martin's debut and one the Charles Coles Tuckers are giving at the Chevy Chase Club for Helen Tucker; and it would seem probable that the young people from both parties will take in the dance before the evening is over Eageala Holronkr Will Prar Tfti. In addition to the Christmas Day festivities Already mentioned, Eu¬ genia Holcombe is having a small tea for Miss Tucker; and on FriAty there are a number of parties, lead¬ ing off with Mr. and Mrs. Paul John¬ son's tea dance for their yoitng son. and daughter in the afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Mann are having a dance in the evening for Peggy Mann and her young brother; then there's the second of the Junior I^easrue par- ties and the Youngs' cotillion.Mr. and Mrs. John Hervey Young.begin¬ ning at midnight That's arranged for Elizabeth Hervey Young, who is home from college, and her guest, Aileen Dowsett, of Honolulu. The Blodgetts are having a dinner; Mr. and Mrs, Henry T. Oxnard are enter¬ taining.also dinner.for Adeline and Nadlne Oxnard and Mr. and Mrs. John Davidson, for Anne Dulany, all. I take It, before the Junior League party. On Saturday there seems to be only one big party, but that's a singularly "promising" one. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Baker's dance at Grass lands for their granddaughter. Eliza¬ beth Baker Kemp. Mr*. Trail Home After Sevea Yean la Italy. Mrs. Russell Train (Errol Brown) is one of our Christmas viiitors. She has but recently come back to this country after seven years in Italy, her husbaqd having been made naval attache at our embassy in Rome. Commander Train is now on sea duty. I believe with headquarters In Bos¬ ton and Mrs. Train has taken «n apartment there for the winter to be near him At present, however, she's with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Whitfield Brown, at their home in Connecticut avenue for a good long visit and she has her two boys with her. Errol Brown always was an ex- ceedingly popular girl, she has a way of keeping her friends and >hi la certainly being made much of now that she is back home again. She's glad to be home. too. although she really had a wonderful time in Rome. She was a great favorite with the Thomas Nelson Pages, so was a great deal at our embass/ and the Romans quite took her to their hearts.

She's a college girl, yousee, and will only be home for theholidays.
