Legation Of Egypt En- Fete in
Celebration of Birthday Anniversary
Nine. sarny Pasha Enjoys
American Custom of
Observing Natal Day

The Egyptian Legation
was overrun with flowers
yesterday in celebration Of
the birthday anniversary of
Nine. Samy Pasha, wife Of
the Egyptian Minister.
The climax of the fete
day was the reception and
buffet supper given last eve
ming at the legation at 25U1
Massachusetts, Ave.
This is a delightful house
for entertaining and has
been occupied by its new
owners only a few months.
The balcony that stretches
between the dining-room
and drawing-room was the
concentration center for the
guests.
just Fine!
Even the threatened storm
failed to leave it empty. AND
most of the time it was a be-
witchinq place, with the moon
shining internittently. Wicker
chairs were placed around gem
erously; in fact, everything that
could add to the comfort OF the
guests on q summer evening.
The Minister and Nine. Samy
Pasha stood in line to receive
the guests arriving early, but
later Nine. Sany Pasha was
allowed little time for this duty
because of the many requests TOR
dances by admiring guests.
In Tulle
She was gowned becomingly In
tulle of a champagne shade, fash.
ioned with TERED skirt falling long
in the back, and with round de-
collage. Flowers of greenish hue
were at one shoulder. And she
wore her famous string Of pearls
and a diamond ear pendants.
When Nine. Sanny Pasha first
came to Washington a few years
ago she looked askance at the
American style of dancing-being
an expression of art quite remote
from Egyptian custom. However,
she has become a first class
dancer now in the most approved
fashion of this country. And
apparently enjoys it thoroughly
A buffet supper was served,
consisting of Egyptian dishes,
But there was no birthday cake.
An orchestra of eight pieces
played for the dancing.
Guests
Among the guests were the
Minister of Rumania, the Minis
ter of Persia, the Minister OF
Siam, Senator and Mrs. William
II. King, Representative and Mrs.
Sol Bloom and Miss Vera Bloom,
Representative ana Mrs. Fred
Britten, Justice and Mrs. Peyton
Gordon and MISS Evelyn Eoruoh'
Mr.. and Mrs. John Childress and
Miss Charlotte Childress and Miss
Adair Childress.
William Bowie Clark was there,
having the time Of his life" And
there were Mr.. and Mrs. Victor
Cahill, the latter formerly Miss
Margaret German. who several
years ago won the beauty prize as
Miss America
And also present were Mr.. and
Mrs. Harley Peyton Wilson, Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Drury, Condr. and

CONSUL HERE
FROM TURKEY
ON LEAVE

The United States Consul to
Smyrna. Turkey, and Mrs. John
Corrigan who are staying at the
Burlington, while Mr.. Corrigan Is
home on leave, will sail for Europe
next week. Mrs. Corrigan, however, ).
will pass a month or two in France
before going to Smyrna. - Since
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Corri-
gan have done a good deal of
travelling in Turkey, visiting the
small and interesting places which
few foreigners have penetrated.
This couple were the first men,
bers of the official foreign colony
in Turkey to be married under the
civil law of the Republic of Tur-
key. Until 1928, foreign nationals
were not subject to local laws.
They were tried by their own
courts and married before their
own consuls. So the marriage of
Mr.. Corrigan and the former Mrs.
Charles F. D. Beresford. which
took place in Turkey in December.
1927, was the first wedding In the
foreign colony under the new dis
pensation.
