Cabinet Members and Wives Guests at
First State Dinner -- Mrs. Wilson at
Concert -- Saulsburys Are Hosts.
Dinner by Mr. and Mrs.
Cone Johnson
The President and Mrs. Wilson entertained at their first state dinner this season last evening, when their guests included the Vice President and members of the cabinet and their wives, and a large company of other guests. The cabinet circle was not complete, as the Secretary of War is absent, Secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Lane are in mourning, and the Secretary of Labor and Mrs. Wilson were absent because of illness. This occasion marked the formal debut of Mrs. Baker in the cabinet circle, as she came to Washington last spring after the season had closed. After the dinner the guests enjoyed a program of songs in the East Room given by Mrs. Muriel Symonds, a lieder singer of New York, accompanied by Mrs. Ross David, of New York, who is accompanist for Miss Margaret Wilson.
