son. Her party is this afternoon and IT is
the usual tea followed by buffet supper
and informal dance for the assistants Yes,
her folks, the DR.. and Mrs. S. S. Adams,
have been established in their new home,
in Connecticut avenue, for some time, and
the-party is being given there.
Dorothy is a retiring little person, who
is Just as charming as she can be when you
get acquainted, and she is exceedingly popu-
lar with the girls of her set. She is gradu-
ate of Smith, you must remember, and that
always adds lot in my opinion. --~-
She gave such pretty luncheon early
in the week for Robyn Young. 1t was
real dove party, too, with bridal bouquet
for the centerpiece and corsage bouquets at
the places of pink rosebuds and white hya-
cinths s+
q. The buffet luncheon which Major and
Mrs. E. D. A. Pearce gave for Lucle Hoke
Smith, now Mrs. Simpson, Monday at their
residence, in Calvert street, was delightful
affair
Major and Mrs Pearce, of from Atlanta,
and were practically next-door neighbors OF
the Hoke Smiths there before they were
ordered to Washington, last August The
major is detailed at the War College.
Washington folks are going to have the
pleasure of seeing the new play, Marry
ing Money" by A. Washington Pezet, son
of the Minister of Peru and Nine. Pezet,
very soon ~. The play opened in Syra-
cuse, N. Y, on Christmas Day. and is ex-
: pected to be here the week of the 18th.
The Minister and Nine. Pezet will have
their first Sunday at home tomorrow, and
they expect to observe them through Febru-
ary, too Their Sunday afternoon teas are
almost an institution in Washington, and
everyone delights in attending them. There
is not more beloved hostess in all Wash
ington than Nine Pezety and the minister
comes in for large share of admiration,
too.
Yes, Henri Martin, formerly of the Swiss
legation, was in Washington for the holi-
days. saw him New Year Eve at the ball
at the Willard with Mrs. Shuey and Dorothy
Shuey:
BY the way, the Shueys are having big
dancing tea this afternoon at Rauschers for
young people. 1t is raining quite as hard as
it did Christmas Day, but it may stop before
tea time. sincerely hope it does for two
reasons, one because know hostesses hate
it and then Ihate getting wet myself.
One of the gayest house parties over
the HOLIDAYS was entertained by Senator and
Mrs. Shields of Tennessee. Mrs Shields
daughter, Jeanette Shields and her son,
Robert Cowan, arrived from their colleges
several DAYS before Christmas, each bring
ing classmates, and then Josephine Shields,
of New York, niece of the Senator, was also
of the party.
Jeanette Cowan is in a finishing school
in Boston, having been abroad in school fol
the last four years. She is delightful, and
all the girls who met here said they would
be clad when she left school and came here
to i've.
Bob Cowan is in Princeton and he had
several dandy chaps with him over the Irl-
angle performance and some of them re-
mained throughout the holidays.

Another gay household was that of Sen
ator and Mrs. Robert L. Owen. The Owenses
have not been in their nice spacious house
very long. Dorothea, who is a senior at the
Finch School, in New York, came doWr just
before Christmas and brought several girls
with her. She had house guests in relays
and the last leave tomorrow. Maybe they
all did not have the times of their lives!
There we're dances, morning, noon, and
night, luncheons, teas, and dinner parties, all
ending with the great big buffet luncheon
yesterday.
Mrs. Owen will accompany her daughter
to New York Monday and remain with her
until after January 8, when Dorothea sails
with her class for Europe The graduating
class of that particular school always goes
abroad in January, visiting Algiers and CON-
ing along to Rome and then getting home
in time for the graduation exercises.

turned from Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, where
