Nine. de Laboulaye
Holds Last At Home
Before Her Departure
NINE. DE LABoULAYE, wife Of the

NINE. DE LABOULAYE, wife Of the
" retiring French Ambassador, was
at home informally yesterday after
noon to her hosts of friends in the
diplomatic corps, official society and
the French colony of Washington.
The spacious drawing rooms were
crowded throughout the receiving
hours from 4:3O to $50, the Ambas-
sador joining her for the latter portion
Of the time, and one and all were
saddened by the knowledge that it was
not au revoir, but adieu-and each
left with the wish that soon again
the popular Ambassador and Nine. de
Laboulaye will come to Washington.
Many of the guests we're making
their first visit to the new embassy,
bought through the efforts Of the
Ambassador and Nine. de Laboulaye.
The gracious hostess suggested to them
that they wander about through the
drawing rooms and see the views from
the windows overlooking Rock Creek
Park. The various amply proportioned
rooms beSpeak the excellent taste of
the Ambassador and Nine. de Labou-
laye.
The hostess stood at the door of
the drawing room to the west of the
hall and wore a most becoming gown
Of silver lame fashioned with a coat,
on the left lapel of which she had
lavendar and purple orchid. The
deep peplum Of the coat fell below
the knees and her skirt was a little
shorter than ankle-length and of
black crepe. She was assisted by
her daughter, Mile. Marie Theresa de
Laboulaye, who saw to 1t that the
guests were generously served of
punch, tea and coffee and the many
delicious dainties which are to be
found in French homes. Mile. de
Laboulaye wore a heavy crepe gown
in a cafe au lait shade most becom-
ing to her soft light brown hair and
blue-gray eyes. The natural waist
line of the gown was marked with a
narrow belt of dark brown and at the
back shirring at the waist line gave
a bit of fullness to the skirt. She
had a shoulder bouquet of white
gardenias. Her younger sister, Mile.
Agnes de Laboulaye not yet out Of
school, also assisted. Her gown was
of crepe in a small red figure on a
white background and about her
slender waist cord Of the material
was tied, matching a similar cord
which tied the high neckline Of the
