The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-04-20

a suite at Wardman Park Inn for the
summer. woodley has been for
the last few years owned by Mr.. Phil
lips's brother-in-law, Andrew ]. Peters
formerly Congressman, subse-
quently Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury, and ultimately Mayor Of
BOSTON,, who bought It from Senator
Newlands. He, however. has sold the
property. and II is to be occupied by
the new owner-so that Assistant Sec
rotary and Mrs. Phillips will have TO
find a new home next season.
The Edward Beale McLeans, on the
other hand. are again to take posses
sion of Friendship. their suburban
estate not half a mile from woodley.
II was lent to the Government and
has been used as a convalescent home
for officers. But Uncle Sam no longer
needs It and is returning It to its own
ers. who recently returned to their
town house from Palm Beach.
Outside of parties for the d. A. r.
the last week the best place to find
members of the really smart set has
been at the rummage sale for the
Washington Diet Kitchen, which
opened last Saturday and closed with
an auction this afternoon. 1t Is
charity in which the resident set is
greatly interested, and in view of the
war the various war charities have
made everybody rummage. It Is re-
markable that there was anything left
to contribute to such a sale.
Mrs. Hope Slater, who seemed rather
to be running 1t, also presided over a
case OF jewelry, which included some
wonderful pieces OF Russian enamel
set with gems and was really quite too
valuable for such a sale. 1t was con-
tributed by George Marye, former
United States Ambassador to Russia
Mrs. Marye was much in evidence, but
she seemed more interested in the
hats than in 5ewelry-both buying
and selling them. There were
some new hats from good milliners,
presumably sold ON a profit sharing
basis-and Mrs. Marye has an absorb
ing passion for hats.
There was a curious Hungarian we'd
ding goblet-the goblet being the green
glass skirts OF a brass lady who held
smaller glass cup over her head.
This swung lightly so that It revolved
as the goblet was turned after the
bridegroom had emptied It, to bring the
smaller one on top for his bride. And
as Mrs Walter Denegre remarked
she was presiding over tho 80 cent
counter-"Trust the man TO get the
much bigger drink"
Mrs. Horace Westcott served behind
25 cent counter one day in her can
teen uniform, dashing out every now
and again to rescue her coat from the
clutches Of the bargain hunters. There
! was n good deal Of fun over a green
and silver panniered gown which some
one had put on the form hind side fore
most-and they all wondered what was
wrong with it until Mrs. H II. Rogers
tried 1t the other way about and
thereby greatly improved the figure Of
the aforesaid form.
1t was a nice chummy sale, with
those that were running 1t having a lot
Of fun among themselves. About the
queerest thing contributed was a
series OF Mrs. Frank Noyess puffs,
| showing the hair in different stages of
grazing. Mrs. Thomas Blagden, Jr.,
formerly Miss Ethel Noyes, who
brought them down (along with
whole lot Of what she called "miscel-
laneous junk" which added consider
| ably to the Diet Kitchens funds),
seemed a bit embarrassed. But some
one had asked for them, and really they
we're lovely puffs and would have been
expensive TO buy
