was turning the corner of
Tracy Place and Twenty-fourth
Street. He was walking along
at brisk pace, absolutely I'M
mindful of the unpleasant sky
overhead, and quite evidently
en- joyin g the invigorating
breeze.
At the Mayflower, which has
gone D. A. r. in a monstrous
way, we took ourselves off to
a quiet (9) corner in the
lounge. All about us we saw
ladies whose badges and wide
ribbons identified them as
visitors whose forebears had
played prominent parts in the
history of our country. The
young pages this year are
unusually pretty. One at a
small table had the earnest at
tention of Lieut.. (j.g.) Charles
Zondorak.
Not two tables away was
"Snuffy" Lynn, in full dress
"blues" and in the company of
two other uniformed gentle
men.
Mary Elizabeth Overton, in
becoming black, was one of the
many brave souls to venture
out on the dance floor where
collisions were frequent and
French heels proved worthy Of
respect.
While the exact date and
place have not yet been de-
cided upon, one of the more
important of the early June
nuptial events will be that unit

affairs we are now enjoying
(?) are mere tempters for any
stray wind. However, be that
as it may, Amelita was stroll
ing along Wyoming Avenue,
wearing a black and white
outfit. Her hat, a combination
halo effect and sailor-beret,
was poised on the back of her
head and gaily defying any
mischievous puffs that might
happen by.

There is a mascot at the Lat
Wan Legation, and a most fetch
ing one it is, too. From the
center of the handsome crystal
chandelier over the long table
in the dining room (you must
look long and searchingly to
find it) there hangs a midget
bead doll of red and yellow.
It's only about an inch long.
The story behind it is some
thing about a very gay and
grand New Years Eve party in
the land of the Soviet, where
Minister Bilmanis was stationed
before coming here. During
the festivities a charming
American lady presented the
little trinket to the envoy and
said something about-''Here's
to your coming to America. :"
The Minister did, and so did
his mascot, as he now calls it.
The other evening the legation,
which incidentally has one of
the grandest fireplaces in Wash
ington, was the scene Of a
nicely small dinner party-im-
mensely pleasing to everyone,
especially the Egyptian Min
lister, Mr.. Mohamed Anime
Youssef, who deplores these
gigantic parties where all one
can possibly say to those pres
ent is ''How do you do9" and
"Good-bye".
After dinner the recently ar
rived Secretary, Rudolph Smit
(his having been brought up in
Canada accounts for his eng
lish" which is more American
than most of us speak, played
too few pieces on the grand
piano. Nine. Smlit, who is small,
blond and very, very pretty,
and, after a scant few weeks
speaks our language with sur
prising lack of accent, possess
ses beautiful voice but mod
estly declined to sing.
Later in the evening
thoughts of worldly strife,
weather, bridge and what-not
were cast aside and the merry
informal group about the cheer
full fire played that intriguing
parlor game ''Who Am II" It
was heaps of fun and again we
say that Mr.. Minister has the
faculty of gathering congen-
ial group together for an eve
ming of much entertainment.

the Supreme Court on his

In the central salon the CUES
dining room or to the ballroom,
where there was dancing. Petite
,Senorita Nina de Gomez, who &C.
'companied her parents on the trip,
is real little beauty. Her dark
hair was worn smoothly brushed
back and into a halo braid. Her
frock was of dove gray, made with
a yoke of open work. On one
shoulder she wore a huge cluster
of the paleSt of pink orchids,
veined with dark maroon.
It was rather like old times to
see the Ambassador elder daugh-
ter, who is now Nine. Schlatter,
assisting at a party in the embassy.
She had on a simple little black
twill frock trimmed with silk
braid and having touches of white
at the neck.
: Her blond sister, Senorita Olga
Patterson, was wearing tailored
costume of grayish beige piped in
,ceriSe.
In the Dining Room
: The buffet table in the dining
room was truly a work of art. In
the center was an effective ar
rangement of Talisman roses and
giant flame colored sweet peas, so
perfect that it did not seem pos
Sible they could be real. In front
of this and toning in nicely with
the color scheme was long delec-
table looking jellied fish. Then
there were platterS Of pate de foie
gras; chicken salad and pretty lit
tie fruits that turned out to be
special salad connections. It would
read like an unbelievable menu if
one tried to list all Of the tempting
delicacies there, were.
: Out in the solarium just off the
ballroom, there was punch. Look
ing in through one of the ballroom
doors, it presented a pretty pic
ture, the late sunshine streaming
In through the long French win
dowS, mirrored in the highly
polished floor, covered with the
rhythmically gliding shadows Of
the dancers.
