15. The program for White House winter' season tas announced ami, was generally ex pected. It omits the colorful diplomatic reception because of the war, and tlso ihe time-honored New Year reception for the public. In accordance with the custom President Wilson et when coming Into office. In place or the diplomatic reception there be two diplomatic dinners.

The entente diplomats and all neutrals will be entertained at the first and the teutonic, diplomats and all neutrals will be g-ueaW the second. The embarrassment which would be caused by Inviting Hie -epresMilatives of warring powers ruD elbows at the same reception may be more, imaglnsry than actual, but they are regarded by the: sor.lil managers as having possibilities, notwithstanding that It Is said the ambassador from one or the prlnclpU entente allies and the ambassador from one the principal teutonic powers always exchange courteous greetings when they pass on the street. However, the program been arranged lo keep the warring diplomats apart. The social events all rome or. Tuetdayg Instead of Thursdays, as formerly; the season begins earlier and ends in rebru-ary Instead of March, probably due to the tiict that the White House wants it over Inauguration time.
