Mrs. MacCracken was looking
lovely in a gown of turquoise
blue which set off to advantage

The Arthur Vandenbergs were
among the especially interest
ing guests. They had arrived
that morning from their home
in Michigan-where, to the
obvious delight of everyone at
the party, Senator Vanden5erg
was reelected on the last fatal
Tuesday to the United States
Senate.
Hazel Vandenberg said she
and her big husband were on
their way to New York, and were
only pausing in washington
long enough to do a little house
hunting. They were pretty sure,
however, to settle again in their
old apartment at Wardman
Park.
Harold and Mitzi Sims brought
. most attractive guest, Mrs.
Charles MacLean, of Montreal,
Canada, who is visiting them
until Monday. Mrs. MacLean-
an extremely pretty blonde
was gowned in black with a tall
severe turban. She has the fresh
complexion of an out-of-door
person, and is a golfer of con.
siderable reputation.
Suzanne Hill came early, re-

A note from Mrs. Arthur
Krock in New York tells me
she is hurrying out to the
annual tri-hero birthday party
of Raoul Fleishman, publisher
of the New Yorker; Harold
Ross, the effervescent genius
who runs the magazine, and
George kaufman, who has
probably more successful plays
tn his credit than any other
recent writer.
The birthdays of these cele-
brated characters fall within
two or three days of each other.
So each year recently they've
been combining festivities.
Ran into all sorts of in
teresting people at the exhibit
of rugs and hand-woven fabrics
which Frances T. Miller, Of
New York, is holding this and
next week at Elsie Cobb Wilson'S
studio on H Street.
Mrs. Stephen BonSal, who is
so much concerned with Dunn
barton House, the washington
home of the Colonial Danes,
and who helped greatly in fur
nishing this thrilling old place,
was keen about the exhibit.
Mrs. R. Lee Warren and Mr..
James w. Adams were at the
studio when was there. And
so were Mrs. Robert Munroe,
Mrs. Monroe Green, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Edward Brown. jr,

Progress and is now exhibiting
at the Metropolitan Museum OF
Art, if she thought the current
vogue of white and pastels in
decorating would last. She said
she saw definite trend toward
clear, vivid colors and simple
furnishings. Decorating, which
one might describe as masculine
she, expected to be the next
and rather imminent fashion.
