And suppose you had to revise the White House invitation lists so there vould no ruffled feelings? And suppose you were a general >uffer for the First Lady of the land, gentle warding away the curi >us without offending them, answer ng all manner of requests and ap- 1 jeals? ' Would you feel equal to the task? i These are just a few of the duties ;hat appertain to the post of social < secretary to the wife of the presi- ' lent. < This position is held by ])Iiss Laura Harlan, daughter of the late Associate Justice Harlan qf the Su preme Court. It is probably the most important unofficial post in the ad ministration. , Infinite fact must be hers.. She must know her Social Register by heart. And she must be so familiar with the shadings of social values that she may disregard the reghiter if she so chooses. * Just as the president's secretary largely decides whom his chief shall .see so Mrs. Harding's secretary weighs the merits of the socially eli gible and issues invitations. In order that she may make no falsemoves she keeps a card index of White House social activities. A The wife of the president makes no official calls. She is invariably the hostess. There are four evening receptions in the winter season, to which the offiical- world and Its wife are in vited, by' sections. These are the diplomatic, judicial, congressional and the amy and navy. There are also certain dinners wnicn iraaiuon decrees. ' Besides these, there are more per sonal functions. * During ihe Harding administra tion it is probable that evening musi cales will be the favored kind of in formal entertainment. Miss Harlan is the fifth social sec retary at the White Hogse She is not a stranger to the White House for she assisted Mrs. Taft for several months in the same capacity.
