came into her own again last week
when his excellency the Ambassador
of Cuba shook about in society until
he corraled an unusually distin
guished company for the reception
which he held for the president and
members of the delegation of the
Social and Economic Union Of Cuba.
With most of the members of the
cabinet either personally present or
leaving cards through their charm

part Of the diplomatic corps attend

popularity of the host and his
charming family Washington society

cut all sorts of topnotch didoes, no
one seemed in the least uncomfort-
able, and all during the cocktail
party at the Mayf1ower, given as an
appreciative farewell by the visitors
themselves, one heard refrains of the
Ambassadors afternoon at home.
To be sure, the Senators wives
fingered in the grand hall and
watched anxiously for their hus-
bands. who never came-Senate in
session-and finally left as they had
arrived, alone. and other official
wives apologized for their busy hus-
bands. There were men enough and
none to spare. Then guests went on
a still hunt for Cuban cigarettes, only
TO find numerous United States
brands, and shifted about for Cuban
rum. but that was all in the after
moons experience. Thirst was as
suaged by real champagne punch and
other light liquid refreshments, and
the tea table was fascinating in Its
dainty viands and flowers.
Only a few newspaper men and by
far fewer newspaper women were
guests at the watermelon party given
last week by the Secretary of Com
merce and Mrs. Roper, who, under
any circumstance, are matchleSs
hosts. Informality just such as
should obtain at a midsummer water
melon party was there, and the
sunken garden on the Calvert street
side of the grounds was lovely in its
verdure. One wonders how Mrs.
Roper ever manages to do all the
hospitable things she does, and 80
graciously, too. Never worried, never
tired looking, and she even had the
pep and energy to stroll out through
the garden path leading to Calvert
street and along down the shaded
street a little way to bid one Of her
guests good-by.

After dipping on liquidation grow
ing out of lower Liverpool cables,
the cotton market rallied to about

with the near contracts holding

market became more active, with
the principal support coming from
the trade, Wall Street. locals and
Liverpool. Some short covering
was also in evidence. Selling
came from the South, commission

tered hedge selling, which was
offset by a good trade demand.
