Capital Absentees
Entertain at
Resorts.

THOUGH Washington hos

a
"A tesses are, for the most part
IA scattered to the four winds
OF the earth, and have left the
capital primarily, to rest for the
coming season, these energetic
souls who are evidently so i'm
bued with the spirit of entertain
ing that no matter where they
find themselves, they are con-
stantly giving something. But as
one hostess who has not as yet
left town confided the other day,
"Why not do something and for
get the heat?" So perhaps it
is the same at Newport, Bar Har-
on the high seas.
After one has cooled off by TAX
ing a dip at Bailey's Beach, it
is not so difficult to sit through
q long course dinner. At least
that must be the way Countess
Szechenyi, wife of the Hungarian
minister, feels about it. She and
her husband, who are established
in the Harry Payne Whitney villa
entertained at dinner on Tuesday
evening for a company of thirty
guests. Earlier in the day the
Countess was hostess at a large
luncheon. And the latter part of
the week the former Gladys Van
derbilt and her diplomatic hus-
band gave an interesting and cere-
monious dinner at the summer le-
cation.
And it is not such a far cry
from Newport to birmingham,
Mass, where Mrs. John Bolt is
faH kA
Bolt entertained at a large din
ner at Orchard House" on Tues
day evening in compliment to
Major and Mrs. Harry Leonard
who were her house guests.
The Harry Leonards, by the
way, have returned to Washington
but plan to leave soon for Colo
RADIO where they will spend the re-
mainder of the summer.

MRS. WARWICK EMIL MONT
GOMERY, who is established
in her place in the Shinnecock
Hills, and whose daughters, the
charming Mary and Anna Mont
gomery, are having a lively house
party Of young people, entertained
at dinner on Tuesday evening.
Among her guests were Hugh
Tenant of the British embassy,
Blaine Sullivan, of Philadelphia,
who is her house guest, Arthur
Sewall, of Philadelphia and George
Sloan, Of New York.
AS said before, entertaining
Is not confined to the land. One
Of Washington's most persistent
and energetic hostesses even ex-
tends her activities to mid-ocean.
Mrs. George D. Hope. who sailed
July 4 on the Leviathan, enter
tanned at dinner on the huge liner
Monday evening, when her guests
were the Secretary of Labor and
Mrs. James Davis, who plan to
stay in Europe about six weeks,
the Minister of Ecuador and Nine.
Elizalde, the minister of the
Serbs. Greats and Slovenes, DIR.
Anton Tresich. Pavichich, the re-
firing Minister of Bolivia and
Nine. Ballivian, Senator Reed
Smoot. Senator and Mrs. John w.
Harreld and Miss Louise Lacey.
Although they would hardly
come under the head Of Ameri-
cans, much less Westinghouse,
who arrived the other day on the
Majestic, and who are going to
Newport to be the guests of our
former ambassador to Germany
and Mrs. James w. Gerard, are
jewellers in the Capital. The dis
tinguished visitors entertained at
dinner last evening at the Ambas'
sador in New York for their
prospective hosts, the Girards, who
came down from Newport to greet
them on their arrival in this
country.
MR.. AND MRS. WOODBURY.
BLAIR. who entertain so fire.
quently, and also SO formally,
while in the Capital in the winter
season. will be hosts at dinner this
evening ut Beacholm in Newport,
where they are established for the
summer. Mrs. Blair is another
hostess who believes in keeping
ones mind occupied with much en-
tertaining in order not to realize
how uncomfortable one may be.
The John Aspegrens. of New
York. who have the Minister of
Sweden and Nine. Wallenberg, as
their guests at Aspen Hail." are
more Newporters and devotees of
Bailey's Beach who go in for siren
uous entertaining in the warm sea
son. Their diplomatic visitors will
be the honor guests at the dinner
they will give on Saturday night
after the tennis matches Mrs
Aspegren will also entertain at
luncheon on Monday in compli-
ment TO Nine. Wallenberg, and it is
safe to prophecy before the min
lister and his wife leave to Tis.t
Mrs. Preston Post Satterwhaite
at Great Neck, Long Island, their
hosts will entertain on several ad-
ditional occasions in their honor.
