YOUNG HOOVER HOST AT DANCE IN WHITE HOUSE Event Is First of Kind in 25 Years; Military and Naval Aids Guests. Bv United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.—Youth returned to the White House Monday night for its first brief reign since the time of Alice Roosevelt, nearly a quarter of a century ago. Allan Hoover, student son of the President, was host to more than one hundred members of Washington’s younger social leaders at a Christmas dance, honoring his father's junior military and naval aids. Assisted by his mother, who declined to allow a cold to keep her from the party, Allan, home from Harvard for the holidays, received his guests in the stately blue room. Accompanied by Miss Carolina Hyde, daughter 6f the agriculture secretary, he later led them into the east room for dancing. Guest List Select The select guest list was representative of official Washington society. Besides Miss Hyde, there were Catherine, Alice and Mildred Houston, daughters of the Republican national committee chairman; Geraldine, Gerald and Lloyd Free, children of Representative Free of California, an old friend of the Hoover family, and Catherine Evans, daughter of another California representative. In addition, there were guests representing nearly every department of the government and every section of the country. The honor guests—eleven junior aids from the army, nine from the navy, and two from the marine corps—were resplendent in gold braid and blue, contrasting colorfully with the formal evening attire of other guests. Two Bands Provided The Marine Corps band, augmented by a private jazz orchestra, provided the music. The party was comparatively short for most of the guests had other engagements before Allan decided to entertain. The shortened program allowed them to go on to other functions after the White House reception rooms were darkened. Allan received many invitations to Christmas and holiday affairs this
