INFORMAL PARTIES GIVEN Fun
AMBASSADOR DAVIS.
There were several SuIet. informal
parties given for John w. Davis
American Ambassador to the Court
of st. James, and Mrs. Davis. who
were guests of their very close
friends, former Secretary of State
and Mrs. Robert Lansing, for a few
days. Mrs. Lansing herself asked
several friends in to tea to greet
her guests on two afternoons. Miss
Anne Mason, of an old, old Wash.

OF France for eight years, and It
was for this reason that the young
actress chose the name Anne Mason
for the stage.
There were lots of things to keep
society busy last week besides the
bankers convention. The polo tour

large galleries every afternoon and
every afternoon was beautiful last
week. Washington certainly has
been enjoying the most perfect De-
tober I can ever remember. Then
society wended its way down to
Providence Hospital early In the
week for the bazar and tea given
there under the auspices of tho
American Women's Legion. There
was the concert Friday night for
the National Peace Carillon; the
Arts Clubs most charming musical
Tuesday evening; the get-together
luncheon given by the woman's di-

of the District at the Franklin

worth while and most enjoyable.
