The Washington times., 1914-05-31

Despite the ram Whlcn Spolleu tne out OF
door part of the party, everyone had lovely
time. Margaret Wilson, Melville A. Clark,
harpist, and Miss Marion David, pianist, gave
the program. Margaret Wilson's voice is de-
lightful and you cannot help but wonder
where il all comes from, for she is such a
little person to have such great, big voice.
I've never heard harp more beautifully
played than by Mr.. Clark, and Miss David
was a delightful aCcompanist. After sitting
in the East Room for over an hour, the tea
table on the lawn did look aluring and i. was
a shame that the rain had to spoil it all, but
when YOU stop to consider how badly the
rain was needed it is all right
Mrs. Wilson, I'm sorry to say, is still un-
able to participate in the social things, but
Mrs. Sayre and Miss Wilson took her place
in a most charming way and the President
was just lovely He wore his white fannes
and looked so we'll
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Smith, of Rhode
Island avenue, are having dance this even
ing as a surprise to Mr.. and Mrs William
G. Hughes, who were married on May l6
at Baltimore. The wedding, you know, was
more or less of a surprise to everyone. Mrs.
Hughes was that attractive little Mrs. For
sythe, whom you met last winter. After the
marriage they went to Atlantic City, and re-
turned last night.
Susan, there is fine opportunity for you
TO secure a very pretty bridesmaid-if you'll
hurry up with that seashore wedding, which
is being rumored so persistently around
these parts. Genevieve Clark was speaking
the other day about having recently been
bridesmaid for three of her friends when
some one referred to the old adage three
times bridesmaid, never BRIDE" Never
mind" said Miss Geneveve, ''I'll be brides,
maid seven times and that will break the
SPELL" Doubtless she will be maid of honor
for Dorothy Harvey when she marries in the
fall, but there are still three more tines-and
there's your chance. But you'll have to be
quick about it or a popular young woman
like Genevieve will be captured and the three
times rule smashed for good
They say Observation-Disclosures is a sign of
being in love, so maybe Genevieve is already
landed" At least she is most absent-mind-
ed. The other day she and her mother left
town for entirely different destinations and
when she came to she found she had gone
off with both suit cases and Mrs. Clark was
telegraphing wildly for her clothes.
have been hearing so much about Mrs.
nufo
week, after dinner at the Senator New
lands, she gave series of Greek dances, in
the garden, with the light coming through
the trees, that hear, was an artistic triumph.
There was Dance of the Nymphs, Bac-
chante dance and an interpretatve number,
called the Dance Of Truth, that were par
tcuIarly lovely. Mrs. Ryan, who has given sew
eral other exhibitions before audiences rem
dered critical by the mad dance mania of the
season has been most enthusiastically re-
ceived, too, and next week, she will dance at
the studio Of the celebrated sculptor, Gutson
Borgum, in New York This summer the
lady will have a school, at Gloucester, Mass,
THE Elise Dufour School of Dancing" and
next winter she will be associated with Flor
ence Fleming Noyes, in New York.
Another attractive costume | noticed the
same afternoon was worn by Mrs. Thomas,
wife of the member of the House from Colo
rado. The gown was of the white lingerie
variety trimmed with Valenciennes lace
about four inches wide and then bands of
baby Irish not quite so wide. The gown
was worn over delicate pink silk slip with
a wide pink girdle. The hat Mrs. Thomas
was wearing was really the most effective
summer hat I've seen this season. 1t was
of white hemp of the wide sailor style with
low broad crown. The top was completely
covered with Shrred cream silk net and
adorned with wreath of large pink roses.
The hat was tilted on the left side and a
cluster of the flowers were placed there. The
effect of the pink roses against the black
velvet facing and Mrs. Thomas beautiful
silver gray tresses was altogether beautiful.
Miss Margaret Wilson wore a becoming
white ratine coat suit TO a luncheon recently.
The coat was cut short in the front and fin
ished with long effect in the back trimmed
