And up AZ Buena vista springs.
where there's a big diplomatic ana
official colony. they had a cha&fy

Hotel for the benefit OF the dcyastattd
districts Of France and the French
refugees. Evorybody seemed 10 bs
might. All the diplomatic crowd had
promised 70 turn out for u. ana il

1 such an ideal night--varm enougn
to sit out OF doors and watch the

tertainment was exceedingiy clever,
and the costumes lovely.
II seemed a. one turned into tbs
place Al II everything was cominE
their way. But, while there were
! plenty OF people there. one realized
that they were not for the most part
| quite the oficiai crowd that one had
expected 20 see-the crowd that al
ways pulls strong" In making q
beneht a go"
The trouble seems TO have been that
they had sprung Il on Washington
rather late. and much OF the ofncial
world had made Its engagement Or
perhaps should say i1 engagement
For most of its had been corslled for
q frat invitation performance Of
Owen Davis's new play. Forever

several seasons In the moviea She
really managed 10 get together a
brilliant oficIai audience, which IN
cluded all of the administration that
was in town The Secretary OF State
and Mrs. Lansing was there, and the
Secretary Of the Treasury and Mrs.
I, McAdoo, the Secretary Of War and
Mrs Baker. the Secretary OF the
| Navy and Mrs. Daniels. and the Sec
retary Of the Interior and Nrs. Lane.
Most Of them entertained parties. or
at any rate, had one or two guests
There was a good deal Of visiting
back and forth between the boxes,
and as II was Mrs. McAdoo's nrst
appearance in Washington since be-
fore she went on that long Western
trip in search Of Mr.. MeAdoo's lost
voice, their box was full Of friends
who wished to greet her. She was
entirely charming in a simple eveninF
gown OF white net, and looked bloom
ing. As usual she was cordial and
friendly to q degree. She was always
q fairly good mixer" but that lift
has grown on her since her marriage,
and she has acquired a poise and an
understanding of how 20 handle her
self that makes her Tremendously
popular.
| AS remember it, the McAdoo's only
guest that night was Mr.. Bernard
Baruch. understand they had dinsd
together-his birthday dinner, thoufh
/ I believe it was not especially fes-
tured as such. IL was the head Of
the Shipping Boards forty-eiEhth
birthday-and there be not many who
can look back on such notable ae-
complishments at that are.
