OCaCeS, INTO permanent DeHlo
The party was held at the
White House, where Mrs.
Roosevelt is spending a very
active winter. Some of Miss
Dewson'S particular associates
and friends were there. Just q
very small portion of them, the
party being a luncheon and
not a State Reception.
No gentlemen and no Repub-
licanS were present. Most OF
the guests were women who
are identified with The success
of the New Deal, or at least
have had the good judgment
to be married to men who are.
The color and hospitality OF
the Red Parlor began the en-
chantment of this particular
White House party. Guests
coming in from the bleak out
doors found themselves in a
room glowing with the warmth
of a swapping log fire and fra
grant with great clusters OF
pale pink carnations and roses.
While assembling we moved
about, greeting old and new
friends, discussing each others
spring hats, what to do with
children who wouldn't study
their lessons. and the eccen-
tricities of husbands-quite as
other women whose sphere is
more noticeably domestic than
political.
The Secretary of Labor was
concerned with the parties she
had planned for her pretty
daughter in washington for a
few days vacation from col
lege. Representative Greenway,
in a green knitted suit and a
darker green felt hat, rolled off
her curly hair, was absorbed in
personal conversation with Mrs.
Charles Cary RumSey of the
Consumers Advisory Board.
When all the guests had ar
rived, Mrs. Roosevelt came down
stairs. She welcomed each
guest with such cordiality that
every one of us felt that our
own special presence was max
ing our hostess particularly
happy. We went in to lunch
con soon after Mrs. Roosevelt's
appearance. Wandered agree.

unhampered by the rules of
precedence.
The state dining room is one
Of the best rooms in "the finest
gentleman's home in America"
Its dark panelled walls and
deep red hangings are a frame
for the people who make its
changing pictures. Maiden hair
ferns and a large cluster of
pink roses banked the mantel.
On the long table the same
artist who has been arrang-
ing White House flowers for
fifteen years had placed five
deep silver bowls of Ophelia
roses, pink stocks and baby
primroSeS.
The talk about the table was
gay and informal. Mrs. Roose-
velt, who was looking her best
in a tailored dress of blue wool,
sat on one side of the table
with Miss Frances Perkins on
her right. Across the table
was Miss DewSon.
Some of the guests were

Virginio's Fox Hunting Crowd
Resting After LIongoIIen
Races, Parties, Balls

Race course attendants who
were nearby putting last touches
on a jump-for the races next
day, rushed to the plane to pull
the passengers out.
The suspense of expecting to
see the plane burst into flames
was terrible. This was averted
by the presence of mind of the
pilot in turning the engine off.
Jock had a bad cut over his
eye, cut nose, and was bleed
ing badly. He was knocked un-
conscious a little while. Mrs.
Jones was cut on the leg and
badly shaken up. Mr.. Holden,
the only one who was using a
belt was not hurt. The pilot,
Edgar Woodham, was knocked
unconscious and has a slight
conclusion.
You can imagine the gloom
that was cast over the entire
brilliant. gayly bedecked place.
All had been waiting for their
beloved boss to arrive.
DR.. Hubby Owen, Of Phila-
delphia, who had landed in his
plane a few minutes before, was
waiting on the field to see the
others land, and gave first aid
before they were taken to the
house, and DR.. Gochanauer, Of
Upperville, was called.
The most wonderful exhibit
ton of unSelfishneSs and con-
troll I have ever seen was shown
by that great lady and sports
woman, Mrs. Payne Whitney.
When the doctors told her that
her only son was not seriously
hurt, she walked some distance
down to the house where Edgar
Woodham, the pilot (Who has
been Jocks valet since he was
a boy was. Edgar had be-
come conscious before leaving
the field, and had seen Jocks
bleeding face. Half delirious,
he was frantic for fear Jock
had been seriously hurt. They
could not quiet him until Mrs.
Whitney sat on the edge Of his
bed and treasured him that IIr.
Whitney would be all right.
Saturday, despite bandaged
head and black eye, Jock broad
cast the race from the high
stand, built for the occasion.
Watching through spy glasses.
and telling in his attractive way
every detail of the races as the
horses and riders circled the far
side of the race course.
Saturday night he was a most
gracious host as he and Mrs.
Whitney received. At the end
of the ball Jock and Liz danced
together as only they can. The
other dancers stopped to watch
this graceful, popular couple,
who had left nothing undone
to entertain everyone so royalty.
AS they finished their dance
they were applauded loudly and
long.
