Among the engagements an nounced, so far this season, not one is of more interest than that of Miss Caroline Ogden-Joncs, daughter of Mrs. Paul Bartlett, and Armistead Peter, third. Miss Ogden-Jones was one of the most prominent of the buds of her season, which was sev eral seasons back.

The president and Mrs. Wilson to day celebrated the hith anniversary of their marriage. Were it not for the state of the president's health, there would no doubt be at least a small festivity, in the shape of a wooden wedding, but under the cir cumstances, there will be '-but a family dinner party at the White House, and not a complete one. lheir iamily is considerably scat tered. Mrs. McAdoo is with her family in New York; Mrs. Sayre is with her in Massachusetts and Miss Margaret Wilson ' is pursuing her music studies in New York, living with her cousin Miss Helen Bones, in a charming little apartment which they took last spring. Mrs. Wilson is frequently seen at the concerts, usually entertaining a box party of distinguished women, and is now be ginning to go occasionally to the theaters at night, a recreation which she and the president very particular ly enjoyed when he was well. The return of the vice president and Mrs. Marshall gave a little flare of hope for some real functions in official circles. So far it has inspired but two dinner parties, one given by Mrs. Thomas F. Walsh last Saturday night in their honor, ard one on Thursday evening of this week, given for them by the secretary of agricul ture and Mrs. Meredith. The Mere diths are taking the real lead in of ficial entertainments and are doing more to make this last season of the Wilson regime a merry one, than any higher upin the official .scale, upon whom social duties are wont to fall rather heavily.
