The Washington times., 1914-02-01


you. Louise Llewellyn, whom
! you knew in Paris, when you
we're studying music there, is
going to sing at the White House Tuesday
night following the Judiciary dinner.
Isn't it perfectly splendid? She is so
interesting and has accomplished a great
deal in a short time. Her program will be
mostly of Bohemian folk songs in costume
THAT is, mean Louise will be in costume)
and know it will be delightful. Miss Lew
ellyn is the daughter of the late former
Governor Llewellyn of Kansas, and aside
from her musical career she has done news
paper work and, of course, you know that
appeals to me especially. By the way, she is
living in Boston, but is visiting friends in
Washington.
Monday night I'm going to the South
ern Relief Ball, at the New Willard. Ii is
the tweny-frst annual ball for this very
good charity, but not my tweny-frst, how
ever even if folks do think that big brotflei'
of mine is my twin. Before go to the ball,
I'm going to the Belasco Theater 10 see
Marrying Money" the play which was
written by A. Washington Pezet, son of the
Minister of Peru and Nine. Pezet which is
making tremendous hit I'm so glad, for
Mr.. Pezet is a fine boy.

girl, Dorothy Peake, who danced at the
party Preston Gibson gave at the Playhouse

The second of ,ice PRESIDENT and Mrs.
MarshalIs series of receptions and dances
Monday night was just as lovely as the first,
snd ! believe possibly little more So No
one this season seems to have struck a note
Of entertaining that has been so harmonious
as these parties. To begin with, the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall have made
little place for themselves in the hearts of
everyone who is fortunate enough to know
them and they have a way of making you
feel perfectly at home and like the party
vas meant especially for your particular
enjoyment. Every appointment, from the
gorgeous looking footmen in the corridor,
me bright smiling maids in the dressing
fha HapproffOpc o-I
cut not least, by any. means, the music, was
perfect
Everyone marvels at the power of endur-
ance Mrs. Marshall seems to possess. She
never looks tired, and if you meet her any
time in the day, she is serene and bright, and
you go away feeling better for having seen
her looking so perfectly well and happy. The
fact that Administration punch" is the
strongest beverage of which she partakes has
much to do with it, have no doubt.
noticed Mrs Thomas F. Walsh wearing
violet charmeuse gown the other night at
reception which thought was tremendous
ly becoming to her. Never before had |
seen her in that color
Mrs. Hennen Jennings and Katherine
vent over to New York early in the week to
do some shopping. Katherine is busy get
ting her trousSeau together now, and do
not think it will be long before the wedding
date is announced.
Of all the beautiful parties, the one Mrs
Blodgett gave early in the week for Ensign
and Mrs. Aston R. Simpson was one of the
most beautiful have ever seen. Her house,
which was the home of former Senator For
aker, has been refurnished, and low is one
of the handsomest in town, and so we'll ar
ranged for entertaining.
The party took the form of a the dansant,
and the decorations were unusually beauti-
ful. When you entered it seemed like you
we're stepping into dream garden. In the
drawing room, where the guests danced.
we're tall palms and stately white Easter
lilies, and in the little green reception room,
