INTRODUCING
"PHANTOM
FETES'
Parties That Never Will
Be Should Interest
Society
By JEAN ELIOT

INSPIRED possibly by phantom
III ball''-that benefit for the
southern Relief Society which will
take the place OF the annual South
ern Relief Ball and which will be
held only in the minds OF the
patrons and subscribers Norman
TIapgood, diplomat and journalist,
Is promising to introduce the "phan-
tom dinner And herewith are
PARTIES that can never happen
which would assuredly be more in
teresting than most OF those which
do.
Mr.. Hapgood has probably
achieved the ultimate in his pro-
posed dinner list. The guest of
honor viii be T.. r. Wise, who has
been making speeches at Radcliffe
College OF distinctly radical tinge|
belonging as Mr.. Hapgood says,
ito the insidious class to which the
Karolyis belong. that do not even
know they are Communists, at least
until our bureaucrats explain 1t to-
them"
The guests whom Mr.. Hapgood is
not inviting include: Secretary
Kellogg. Representative Blanton, of
Texas; Colonel Donovan, the real
head OF the Department OF Justice
Mr.. Justice McReynolds, Of the SUI
preme Court; Senator Wadsworth,
and Mr.. Lusk. Of the world-famous
report on radicalism in the vitals
of pure American life.
But there remains the phantom
reception" to be tried out and I
suggest that the diplomatic corps
might combine in giving party
SAY at the Pan American Union
BuiIding-in honor of Senatos
Cole Blease, fire.eating son OF
South Carolina.
Then Mrs. john B. Henderson
might give .'try-out ball" at
which it might be seen how short
q skirt may be and still be a
skirt. Moreover, Mrs. Anne Arch
bold might invite the newspaper
women Of Washington to one of
her very lovely parties, with
handouts prepared. giving in
meticulous detail a description Of
the fete.
The Spanish Ambassador and
Nine Riano wiz be the guests of
honor at dinner this evening of the
Assistant Secretary OF State and
Mrs. Leland Harrison.

DIR. Honorio Pueyrredon,- was the
guest for whom Joshua Evans. jr.,I

ties. The Ambassador was at one
time Minister of Agriculture of
Argentina.
SPEAK BEFORE
REPUBLICAN CLUB
The Speaker OF the House, Rep
resentative Nicholas Longwortn,
and Senator James w. Wads-
worth, jr., went to New York last
