same Herman H. Rogers, who. with
his wife's assistance, has been
host, philosopher and friend to
Mrs. Wallis Warfield in her re-
cent stay on the Riviera.
The refusal of the Church OF
England to permit one Of its clergy
to marry the Duke Of Windsor
and Mrs. Warfield is not based on
religious grounds alone. In Eng
land is stirring today a large and
powerful group of rebels who
would like to embarrass King
George VI.
In order to break the spirit OF
these friends of the Duke Of Wind
sor, the English conservatives are
making the marriage as difficult
as possible. More than that. the
conservatives are putting a penalty
on friendship with the Duke. Every
man who has been identified with
the Duke of Windsor is finding
sudden stumbling blocks in his
career.
The dozen or so dancers who
will lead the Virginia Reel in the
newspaper dance at the White
House on Friday night are going
to form an involuntary Floor Show.
Gaily costumed, they will bow and
whirl while the fiddles scrape "Tur-
T. key in the Straw" Undoubtedly
the other guests of President and
Mrs. Roosevelt will also spring up
and away in the dance at the
sight of such grace and agility.
Mrs. James M. Helm and Mrs.
Malvina Schneider, first secreta-

Of two deStroyers, "The Helm"
named in honor of Mrs. Helms

named for the late Victor Blue.
The Water Carnival at the q. S.

Mrs. Claude A. Swanson, wife of
the Secretary of the Navy; Rear
Admiral and Mrs. Adolphus C.
Andrews. dozens of other impor-
tant Navy people and several
scores of pretty girls will go to
Annapolis for the big day.
Any party of Rear Admiral and
Mrs. Mark Bristol is a pleasant
place to be. Their Monday after.
noon tea for Brig. Gen. and Mrs.
John C. Beaumont was especially
agreeable. Various WaShingtoni-
ans who help run the town, with
particular emphasis on Navy PEG
pie, were there.
General and Mrs. Beaumont are
leaving shortly for San Diego,
Calf, where General Beaumont
will be in command of the Marine
base. Mrs. Beaumont, whom the

Shanghai, is an extremely hand
some person. Her father was Will
liam Law Ferguson, a famous
missionary in China and an au-
thority on Oriental civilization.
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Luke

recently celebrated his tenth an
niversary as president Of George
Washington University, and Mrs.

guests in Washington just now.
Friends and acquaintance are
trying to show how highly they
value their long residence here.
The recent dinner given by Mr..

Mr., Jimmy Walker, former
mayor of New York, has given
a thoroughbred Arabian pony

woman. The pony is too small to
ride yet, ''Evie" Robert declares,
but it will grow up some day.

the Democratic National Commit
tee. whose husband has been
made Assistant Attorney General,
has taken a house in Georgetown
and is settling there with her huS.
band and two small children.
The late beginning of The Sea-
son has delayed its ending. The
bright stars of the social firma.
