Thursday nights party at
the White House is going to be
a grand "get together" for the
newspaper contingent, with a
general air of informality pre-
vailing. The men in white
flannels, linen suits, and the
like, and the women-well,
they always know what to
wear.
The Vice President and Mrs.
Garner are going to dine at
the White House before it,
and Mrs. Garner will assist
the First Lady in receiving.
Grand news! There will be
dancing to the strains Of Joe
Moss Orchestra.
Mrs. Roosevelt plans to 60 to
Philadelphia Saturday for the
boat races in which her son,
Franklin, jr., is to row-''if a
place can be found for her to
see the race"
Is there any Philadelphian
who would not gladly give his
vantage point to the First
Lady? For she is not only an
ideal mother, but possesses that
greatest of all gifts-a delight
tul sense of humor.

Dance at Embassy
Is Brilliant

The dance given last evening
by the Ambassador Of France
and Nine. de Laboulaye at the
Embassy in Sixteenth Street,
in honor of Capt. Yves Donval,
commander of the French train
ing ship, Jeanne dare, and
the officers and midshipmen
stationed aboard her, proved
a colorful and brilliant occaS-
ion, attended by a number Of
our Naval Officers and mem
bers of smart society generally,
with a large group of young
friends of the daughters Of the
hosts.
The French officers, who
numbered sixty, were all in
uniform, as were the Naval
and Military AttachG~, and the
American officers present. The
Ambassador looked very cool
in white messjacket, which
style was popular with a num-
ber Of the civilian guests; and
most of the ladies present
either wore chiffonS or prints
of brilliant hue.
The hostess looked charming
in a gown of rose pink and
powder blue chiffon, and her
daughters, Mile. Marie Theresa
. and Mile. Agnes de Laboulaye,
were the bellies Of the evening.
The former wore turquoise blue
chiffon striped with satin OF
the same shade, and the latter
was in a blue print, which was
exceptionally becoming.
The buffet supper was served
on the first floor, with in
Vulnerable small tables seating
from four to ten, and red roses,
white sweet peas, and corn
flowers forming the decoration.
Bouquets of these same flowers
were presented to each Of the
feminine guests.
Dancing started after sup
per, on the second floor, and
continued until a late hour.
The Embassy is a delightful
place to hold such party, and
last night with the windows
open and the balcony available
for sitting out" it proved
ideal.

of New York City are at the

f.-Yes, with high degree of ac- curacy. After analysing the racing history of over 10000 race horses, Dr Harry H. Laughlin of the Car neeie Institute, has worked out the general formula of herdity"--a yardstick by which the racing ca pacity of a horse can be measured and the capacity of his or her colts well predicted. On this yardstick for example, Man O War measures 1925 and his sire, Mad Halter, 125.75. We see then instantly why Man O War was not only the best horse but probably the best sire. l do not know, but I imagine were Dr Laughlin not a scientist he could get rich following the ponies'' as he knows better how to predict their speed than any one who ever lived.

Griff closed his eyes once more.
 DO you remember the items? :? he asked.
 "No, don't" Blocker said. ''There were two or three small ones and then bill of $2.5O all at once, as though he'd taken a long trip somewhere in a cab.'
 Griff drowned for moment.
 "Anything else?" he asked.
 "No.'
 Griff cot to his feet, started pacing the floor, the long legs talk ing swift, nervous strides. the woolen bathrobe Tapping against his shins. Once or twice he reach ed out in front of him with the ex- tended fingers of his hands as though trying to feel his way through the room, giving the inn pression of stroking the atmo- sphere with the tips of his fingers.
 Blocker watched him anxiously.
 Abruptly Griff turned and when he spoke, his voice was as rapid ly explosive as that of Blocker himself in his most driving mo- ments.
 "This thing is delicate" he said. "It's got to be handled with the delicacy of a surgeon performing a brain operation. But the thing is here. It's in our grasp. It's all ready to be smashed wide open. "The trouble is we're overlook ing something somewhere. There's some point, probably an obvious point, something that's logical as the very devil and yet we aren't getting it. have that feeling. I'm never wrong when l have that feeling.

Blocker shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
 Griff was pacing the door again. When he went on speaking 1t was as though he had forgotten the other mans presence.
 "The last time," he said, that Morden reported to The Blade of- flee he said he had live lead. He didn't want to mention names. He said it was going to be necessary to cultivate a girl. Almost imme- diately after that, call he must have gone to the apartment occu- pied by Alice Lorton - the one from which Esther Ordway is re- ported to have disappeared. The Ordway woman has been gone fol | two days :"

"I want that apart. ment shadowed. want & check-ur on this thing from every angle. want a report on everyone wht comes and goes to that apartment How quick can you get the mer | there? ?" Blocker spoke in voice in whicf i there was no enthusiasm.
 "Remember," he said, "tha' we're running a newspaper. w can't take all of our men to chase l down Morden's death. We're doint lot of work now" | Griff's voice was cold ano ominous.
 You mean you're laying dowr on the job ?" he asked.
 ''No, I don't mean that" Bleek

PARIS STYLES

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Paris (UP)-A few pretty clothes Is about all that keeps this from being . sad life and a weary world.
 Some are serious and some anus ing. If you don't think sea horses
 on a coat lapel are funny, maybe you'd like a Medpsa- head belt
 buckle; if you wouldn't allow the
 corners of your mouth to twitch
 oyer a reproduction of Fatima s
 veil on your best bonnet, maybe
 you'd chortle uconsciously at pill box hat with yard-long feather
 running through the back parallel to the ground. It's all according to where you keep your sense of hu- nor.
 Lucille Paray has made a tail- ored suit which she calls the "Lit- tie Woman" Demure it is, and quite lovely in black wool trimmed with black astrakhan--little mufi and everything, but the funniest
 hat (smart, of course) you ever saw.
 Brypere does a La Dubarry' that, despite our appreciation o1 line and quality, gives us the whole. some laugh we need to forget we're still wearing a dress we bought four years ago. Bruyere's is g redingote and bonnet in black spangles. The crown of the bonnet goes straight into a point like Schiaparelli's last years "clown hat" Only two but tons on the coat, one at the throat and the other at the waist, right on the tum.

Most of us keep out of jail by our feeling or re- spectability, our desire or social approval. It is only when a very complex moral problem presents itself that we reason it out and even then, in the end, we likely make the decision more from our feeling for the consequences than from cold -blooded analysis.
