BANDHoLTz ENTERTAINED at
dinner last night at their quarters
at Fort Myer. taking their guests
afterward to the hop which the Of
ficers stationed at the post give
each month in the administration
building. This is always an in
formal event, but very jolly, and
one OF the regimental bands plays
for the dancing.

guests were Mr.. and Mrs. 2. A.

the diplomatic corps and the I'm
der Secretary of State and Mrs.

them.
Mrs. Hughes wore lovely gown
of reseda green crepe, with flow
ing sleeves of the crepe and the
bodice fashioned almost entirely Of
lace dyed TO match the gown and

beads couldn't quite see which.
A broad band of beads or bugles.

the low waistline and the same
motif was repeated on the skirt.
Her hat was black and fur trim
med and worn with becoming
lace veil.
Mrs. Coolidge was in blue, a sort
of French blue, q crepe gown en-
broidered in steel beads, which she
wore afterward when she received
during the afternoon. At the
breakfast, ever. she topped IL
off with a hat Of tete de negre
beaver. with Q gay parrot feather
set at q piquant angle.
Impossible to give a list of all
the guests-and useless, since the
entire diplomatic corps was there.
I think, however, that I saw every
member f the British embassy
staff from the Ambassador and
Lady Geddes down. And the Bel
gian Ambassadors and Baroness de
Cartier and the Brazilian ambassa-
dor, and the Chilean Ambassador
and Nine. Matthew, and the Peru
Wan Ambassador and Nine. Pexet.

Minister and Nine. Wroblewska,
DR.. Ante Tresich Pavichich, the
new minister Of Serbia, who, by
the way. was Respondent In court
dress. Also the charges OF Latvia
and Lithuania, newborn nations
which Uncle Sam has just recog-
nized. And all the grist OF pretty
women and popular men who
make up the younger element OF
the corps.
A n aristocratic assemblage, and
ii pleased me to note that
none OF the women had a more
high-bred air than some of the
Americans. Mrs. William Phil.

gowned in tomato red crepe, with
a small black hat and a fox
scarf. Or, Mrs. Robert Woods
| Bliss, always chic and looking
her loveliest in a fawn colored
crepe frock, simply made, with q
hat of brOcade and a lace veil.
Mr.. and Mrs. William r. Castle,
jr., and their daughter, Miss
Rosamond Castle, like the Phil
lipses and the Blisses, were
among the State Department
folk in attendance. The Speaker
of the House and Mrs. Gillett
Were present, too, accompanied
by her daughter, Miss Louisa
Hoar, who was gowned in black
and had on the largest purple
hat extant. And the Cabinet was
represented by Secretary Mellon
and Secretary Weeks-I didn't
see either Mrs. Weeks or Miss
Mellon-the Works and the Wal,
laces, who came together, and the
Secretary OF Labor and Mrs
Davis.
