These holiday tea dances at
the Army-Navy Country Club
certainly are popular with
members of the younger serv-
ice set and, nestled as it is in
the snow clad Virginia hills,
it is the scene of much ac-
tivity most every day.
In the group who seem to
make it a habit are the one
and only Ken Mcintyre, ex-
tremely likable son of the
Secretary to the President and
Mrs. Marvin H. Mcintyre,
who never misses a dance and
whose enthusiasm is bound

nor Akin, whose dad is a
major, wore two-piece dress
of lipstick red, with cartridge
trimming when we saw her,
and her cute little black hat
had a huge pin on one side
which strongly reSembled an
overgrown safety pin.
Betty Crawford was there,
too, wearing a most becoming
black outfit. Marian Ross and
her brother-in-law and sister,
the Tom Kellers, were enjoy
ing every minute. Helen Arm
strong selected a blue wool
knitted suit for the after
noon, and Ansley Spalding

with chic little gold sequin
turban. Pretty little blond

The Vincent Gallaghers were

stand out in a crowd. He is
much too modest about having
been on the Navy Olympic

talks. Phil Brant, second class

the evening, bringing to a

only recently joined the ranks
of the younger diplomatic set

Immediately If and when Italy's atti-
tude warrants.
Some Of Selassie's warriors were
stirred to such a pitch of war frenzy
today in the military pageantry mark
ing the end of the rainy season the
Emperor feared for the safety of the
Italian Minister.
Count Luigi inci-Gigliucci, the
Italian Minister, sat near Halle Selas-
sic as tens of thousands Of the latter's
warriors brandished spears, sabers and
knives and yelled anew their al
legiance to his cause.
The Emperor quickly summoned
guards to attend his Italian guest and
spare him not only possible physical
assault but also insult.
The occasion was the festival of
MaSkal, which celebrates the passing
of the rainy season, although rain fell
heavily throughout
The celebration also served to in
troduce modern arms to many of the
Emperor's subjects. His favored unit,
the Imperial Guard, were soldier like
despite their unshod feet. In their
up-to-date equipment, they marched
to the strains of brass band.
