"Cherchez la femme was
the slogan at, the reception
given yesterday afternoon
by the Charge d'Affaires OF
Germany and Nine. Kiep in
honor of DR.. Hugo Eckener
and the little company which
had crossed the Atlantic with
him in the Graf Zeppelin.
The lady, of course, was
Lady Drummond Hay, the
only woman to make the
flight. Apparently, she
wanted to see rather than
to be seen, for she was dis
covered in a far corner sur
veying the company with
considerable interest. But
once discovered, she became
the center of animation. A
pretty woman-much prettler
than her pictures-she wore
an afternoon frock of bro
caded chiffon velvet IN
lanvin green, with a black
hat shading her great dark
eyes.
Blonde Beauty
DIR. Eckener received with DR..
and Mrs. Kiep, as did Count
Alexander Won Brandensteln"

ner was also in the receiving
line. She is the sister OF Ed
ward P. Warner, Assistant Sec
rotary Of the Navy for Aviation,
who has had the party OF
transatlantic filters under his
chaperonage in Washington.
Nine. KEEP wore severely
simple black satin gown which
accumulated the creaminess OF
her skin and the fairness of her
taffy colored hair, drawn
smoothly back and rolled into a
great knot at the back Of her
graceful head. She is one of
the real beauties of the diplo-
matte corps, with q profile that
is pure Greek.
