Genius Brings Fdivyland to Life
For Eugene Meyers Garden Fete
Beauty of Decorations
Discussed With the In
evitable Question of
Precedence

Everybody" is talking
about the dinner and garden
fete given on Saturday eve
ming by Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Meyer, jr.
The question of whether
or not Mrs. Gam, sister of
the Vice President, and Mrs.
Longworth, wife of the
Speaker of the House, with
drew from the party over
the point of precedence,
which bobs up as persist
emily az King Charles head
in Mr.. Dicks conversation,
is, of course, causing a good
deal of gossip. And the
"stage setting" for such .
lavish and lovely fete as
Washington has seldom seen
is being enthusiastically de-
scribed by those who were
fortunate enough to be
present to those who were
not.
Exotic Fruit
Nearly $50 guests were pres
ent at the dinner and several
hundred came in later to dance.
They must have thought them
selves in fairyland, for within
and without the house . genius
had been at work. The Meyers
are living in the house in Cres-
cent Place which was built by
the late Henry White and which
boasts q garden looking off
over the city. The trees there
bore exotic fruit, great clusters
: of balloons, and beneath them
crystal fountains played, the
whole being illuminated in eerie
fashion and thrown into relief
against a brick wall-artificial,
but looking much as though it
had taken root hundred years
ago.
Gold And Garlands
In the drawing rooms. there was
an effect of sheets of gold having
been used, with the tall windows
draped in tarleton worked with a
golden design and garlands OF bal
looms in blues and greens had
been used everywhere. The effect
was Greek translated into modern
istic French-and altogether lovely.
For the dinner guests were
seated at small tables. They
danced indoors-and out, on a
platform erected under the great
trees. And the balloons they
carried or batted back and forth
seemed part of the decorative
Neither Vice President Curtis
and Mr.. and Mrs., Gam nor the
Speaker and Mrs. Apngworth were
present. But Everybody" else
seemed to be-most of the chiefs
of diplomatic missions, groups
from the Cabinet, the Supreme
Court, the Senate, few from the
House and many from resident
society.
Whoever executed these CLAM
orous decorations. it is safe to
assume that Mrs. Meyer conceived
them. She is an artist to her
finger tips. In the days before
she became Mrs. Meyer. che was
associated with the great collector
whose legacy to Washington Is
the Freer Gallery. She is a
trustee of that institution and is
recognized as an authority on
Chinese art. The decorations at
her parties are always exquisite
-one remembers on one occasion
a very forest of orchids-but this
time her friends consider she has
created something unique as well
as beautiful.

When a person, then, comes to
radio, he must have artistic con-
seriousness. He must have poiSe.
And he must have sincerity. With
these preliminary attributes, radio
technique may be acquired. Any
one who is adaptable and willing
to do little studying may acquire
it. This is why the addition COM
mittee does not let lack of tech
nique stand in the way of their
accepting a candidate who is
otherwise promising.
Most radio noviceS during their
first encounter with a microphone
stand stiff1y in front of 1t, stare
at 1t with frightened eyes and sing
out as though they were in a con-
cert hall. They blast high notes,
take pianiSsimos too low, and gen.
orally ignore all the canonS Of
broadcasting. But this can be rec
titled by instruction from some
one familiar with broadcasting.
The technique of the microphone
can be acquired just as can the
technique Of makeup.
George F. Hicks, WRC an

and fox trot. The leader decided
To cut ont the waltz

And then Hicks announced:

Munday, virtually unknown out

hundreds of letters were received
asking that he be assigned to Other
