White House entertainments and Washington society notes
A detailed panorama of early Roosevelt era White House hospitality, social events, and Washington power circles. The piece recalls the East Room banquets, Mrs. Roosevelt as hostess, and parallels to Dolly Madison, then shifts to anecdotes about photographers, Mrs. Dubois, fencing clubs, and notable political figures. It also covers invitations for Helen Hay Whitney’s wedding, the German embassy ball, Senator Teller, cabinet ladies, Marconi lectures, and senate chaplains.
