Esther Denny, we're marooned in Annapolis
and could not get up in time for the party,
They managed to get word by phone in time,
SO Mrs. karmany filled in with some other
folks and the party went on II was such a
shame the Peters missed the party, for it was
one OF the most unusual of the season. The
centerplece was little Japanese garden with
the dearest little tea houses aglow with cleo
trio lights and little bridges over real lakes,
witt, real live gold fish swimming about in
them, and spring flowers blossoming along
the banks. Oh, it was beautiful After the
luncheon, Mrs. Karmany took her guests over
to the Marine Band concert and then down
to the the dansant in the sail loft at the navy
yard. This was the FIRST of the series that
will be given this month for the Navy Relief
Society and, considering that the day was one
of the worst of the winter, the attendance
was not half bad
Did you ever play tag" when you were a
kiddie? Well, grown-up DIVORCES of the
dansants are playing it now. Some one went
John Barrett one better at an afternoon
dansant recently. As their guests arrived a :,
maid pinned slips of paper on their backs,
with their names written in clear and large
letters. No inroductions were made, and
echoes we're ringing throughout the rooms
like this: Please turn around young lady,
so can introduce myself" "All right; now
turn around yourself, so l can see your
name"
1t really was lots of fun, and despite the
fact that the snow was falling without and it
was cold and dark, the guests stayed until
almost time for dinner. -.,,.-.g ,..zs--.

Bliss is also away, paying visit to Dorothy
Gatewood North, at West Point, and having
the time of her life. The Norths did not get
house at the Point as they hoped, but have
an apartment in the Bachelors building and
find it very comfortable. Ruth and Dorothy
are great chums and must be having lots of
fun together, particularly as that is the gay
est Of posts where there is something going
on all the time. Ruth is going to stop over
in New York with Aldana Quimby, that aw-
fully attractive blonde girl, who visited her
two years ago, and set so many Of our pro-
verbally blase Washington men by the ears.
Are the Peter Goelet Gerrys entertaining
much this winter? They are having three
dinner parties this coming week. On Mon
day night, there is tweny-four-co party
with all the guests grown-up folks; on the
next night, there is party for young people
with covers laid for fourteen, and on Satur-
day night, another young peoples party is
scheduled with twenty-four covers. As the
wife of member of Congress from Rhode
Island. Mrs. Gerry is even more attractive
than when she was known as the beautiful
Mathilde Townsend.
A beautiful complexion, glowing with
rose tints, is one of the rarest things in he
world, even among the debrtantes, most of
whom are fresh from schools where they
have been taught to take the most exquisite
care of themselves and to take exercises
that will make them healthy. Gladys Hinck-
ley, who has just returned from travelling
abroad, possesses one of the most remark
able compilations of any girl in Washington
society," The texture of her skin is fine and
her coloring is the sort that comes and goes
and is inimitable.
Miss Lascelle McClusky, formerly of
Baltimore, who, with her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. H. F. Meserve, is,to make Washington
her winter home, is another young woman
whose complexion quite rivals that of Miss
Hinkley. Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge, in nv
mind, has one of the most beautiful complex
ions in Washington.
Did the storm do any damage down here?
Well, l should say so. Monday night, Sem
ator Henry A. DUPONT was giving large
dinner party, thirty covers, and all the ligt.ts
went out. There was not lamp in the
house so the servants scampered out and go.
some candles at a little store nearby ard
decorated the whole place with them. Ole
of the guests told me that, instead of marring
the party it seemed to have just the other
effect, for everyone thought it great fun and
they stayed until there was but one cand!.

Neither Naon nor any of those

delegates.
In official quarters, however, 1t
was made known that there had
been no change in the position of

Niagara Falls, Ont, June H.
Justice Lamar's memorandum to
Emilio Rabasa, head of the Mexican
delegation announced that the
United States ''must insist" on the
acceptance of its plan for the paci-
ieation of Mexico and unless the
Huerta delegates yield, mediation
will end tomorrow or Monday.
This is the firm determination of
the United States, as ii was convey
ed to the mediators today. 1t is
said the Americans have not changed
the position in view of the Car
ranza-Vina split
Just what the policy of the
United states will be in the event
of failure of mediation or what
disposal it will make of the Ameri-
can troops at Vero Cruz is unknown.
The ITuerta commissioners say
they do not know what course Gen.
Huerta may pursue.
Those conEersant with the Ameri-
| can viewpoint, however, believe
that President Wilson Is determined
that inasmuch as there can be no
paciticatiQn in Mexico unless tie
Rebels accept any plan that might
be adopted here, the interests of
peace would not be conserved by Il
continuation Of mdiation engotia-
ticn'.
