The party at the Belgian en-
bassy on Tuesday evening was
more or less impromptu. I imagine.
1t was arranged in honor Of Eu-
gene Ysaye. the great Belgian
violinist. who came to Washing
ton in his capacity as conductor Of
the Cincinnati symphony orclies-
ira, which had given a recital
here In the afternoon: and after
dinner there was a delightful pro-
gram of chamber music, in winch
Mr.. Ysaye was assisted by some
OF, his associates.
Some notable guests were asked
TO meet M. Ysaye. and among
them. naturally enough, were I,eo-
pie like the Nicholas Longworths,
the Larz Andersons and Mrs.
Frederick Keep. who have Cincin-
natl connections and consequently
were deeply interested in the APP
pearance here of the orchestra and
it's veteran leader. Congressman
Theodore Burton Of Ohio was also
in the company.
Again Miss Mabel Board.
mans Monday evening at home
brought together an interesting
assemblage. You know. she and
her mother, Mrs. William ].
Boardman. are receiving on Mon
days during March after 8 O'Clock.
and one always finds interesting
people at their house.
MRS. CLIFFORD PINCH OF.
who 10 one Of the bright parti-
cular stars Of the League Of Wom-
en- Voters. held q reception at her
house on Tuesday afternoon In
honor Of Mrs. Hughes. It was by
way of being a preliminary to the
Pan American conference Of wom-
en- which is to be held In Baltimore
next month under the auspices Of
the league; and Mrs. Hughes func-
toned in her capacity as chairman
Of the women's auxiliary com
mittee of the Pan,American con.
gress. The wives Of Latin Ameri-
can diplomats, many Of whom win
take part in the Baltimore confer
ence, were among the guests. Mrs.
Pinchot and Mrs. Hughes received
together. Mrs. George Wharton
Pepper presiding at the tea table.
BY happy chance the Penn
sylvania Society's reception in
honor Of Senator and Mrs. Pepper
turned out to be the Senator'S
birthday party. It was one Of the
biggest and most successful birth
day parties In the annals Of WASH
ington-but that. after all, II .
story by itself.
The musical drill up Mt the Rid
ing and Hunt Club brought out
perhaps the largest field" Of this
year. There were a score or more
riding, under the able leadership
Of Mrs. Sinclair Bowen. with
largo and enthusiastic gallery
looking on; and the two groups
came together afterward for the
informal dance and supper with
which these Lenten musical even
ings always wind up. There will
be two more indoor rides. one on
Tuesday evening, March 20. and
the other on March ~.
After that. presumably, the out
door activities of the club will be
resumed-but that all depends On
the most Indispensable Washing.
ton weather. Meanwhile. the
junior members of the club are
still holding their gymkhanas on
Saturday mornings; and / under
stand there's to be special meet
on the Saturday before Easter,
with cups for the various events
and all manner of festive doings.
