ing on the deck. It was wonderfully
prstty scene.
Admiral Pakenharn crested his guests
at the head OF the companionway. as-
sisted by Capt. Arthur Bromley. COM
mander OF the vessel, and Flag Lieu
tenant Curzon Howe. There wsre great
sheaves and graceful baskets OF Doro-
thy Perkins roses. and 1t would be hard
to say whether they or the groups OF
English and American naval officsrs
in their immaculate white summer uni
forms were the more decorative IN ef-
feet.
Then there was tbs piper. a braw
Scot in kilties. who piped notable ar
rivals over the side. and in between
| times pounded up and down the deck TO
the skirl OF his pipes. The British AM
bassador and Lady Geddes were among
those ''piped over the side" So was
Gen. Pershing when he arrived-and the
pip>r seemed inclined to stick to him.
but about as soon as he had greeted
his hosts. the General had joined the
dancers-and he spent most OF the after
noon-and 1t was muggy one-on tn.
floor-or. rather. the deck-with a sue
cession OF pretty girls. Miss Mildred
Bromwell was his first partner that
afternoon. the very pretty daughter OF
former comrads in arms. For It
tho late Gel. Charles Bromwell was
chief aide to President Roosevslt Capt
Pershing was one OF the particularly
interesting group Of aides with whom
Col. Roosevelt surrounded himself or
stats occa sions Miss Bronnweu was
particularly attractive that afternoon in
fringed frock OF orchid crepe and i
big orchid hat trimmed in morning
glories.
Miss Mellon Among Dancers.
Miss Ailsa Mellon also was among the
dancers. in most effective and rather
daring getup Of flame colored chiffon,
figured IN black, and rather unusually
large black hat. Miss Delphine fIeyl
was another, and Miss Anna Han,lin
yet another OF the pretty girls who spent
most OF the afternoon dancing with the
young "orficer bhoys.' Miss Delphine
Heyl was periwinkle blue girl, with a
coquettish little black hat, and Miss
Anna Hanlin was attractive as always
in a ,crepelnit costume, biscuit colored,
and worn with a hat several shades
darker, most becoming. It rather
sounds as il It was party OF girls
Just recently out. which IS far from
being the case. for the whole official
world seemed to be there ana a good
part OF the residential-but the girls are
so pretty that they stick in ones mind
and lists Of names are t.resonne, any
how.
.Anothsr picturesque party-and one
that appealed to ones imagination and
contributed not a little to the variety
OF a decidedly various week-was the
Serbian legations wedding reception IN
honor Of the marriage OF King Alexan-
der and Princess Marie os Rsfaan.a. IT
was rather q long distance wedding re-
cept!on, but 1t was decidedly interesting
and one only felt sorry that It was too
big to be accommodated at the Lega-
ton. and they decided to hold It at
Rauscher's. One feels that It must have
lost some Of its natio4al flavor IN the
transfer.
The Serbian party boasted no such
attractive setting as either Admiral
Pakenham's or the White House gar
den party, although Rauscher's ball
room suite Is we'll enough so far as 1t
goes. And DR.. and Nine. Grouitch had
made 1t gay with flags and flowers.
Most of tj.eir guests probably made
their first acquaintance of the Serbian
flag. 1t is a tricolor-on the same gen.
eral lines as the. flag OF France. but
the stripes run horizontally instead of
