honor Of Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor
E. Carney from 5 until 7, and
from what we are told, there
might be some very interesting
announcements made at this
party.
MRS. ALICE WARDMAN
AVA RHEEM and Mrs. Hardy B.
Page are giving a small cocktail
party in honor of Comdr. and
Mrs. Arthur Robinson, who are
stationed here, after a long de-
tail Of duty in China. The Rob-
insons, who have q host of
friends here, are being welcomed
back to Washington ever so often
with dinners, teas and so on.
Both Of them are tremendously
nice and charming to know and
Mrs. Robinson has a ready wit
and a delicious low laugh. She
also has an evening wrap that is
the envy Of the feminine contin-
gent about here, long sheath
Of glistening, silver white bro
cade, with a fascinating hood
and buttoning from the chin
clear down to her toes, with vivid
glowing buttons that once deco
rated the coat of a naughty man.

seriously, the art of designing
and creation of feminine styles,

MRS. KARL BRADFORD, wife
AA of Col. Bradford, is giving
up great deal of her time these
days to social service work, but,
SO far has not been able to ap-
proach it from an objective view
point, which, though it makes it
bit difficult for her, on account
Of worrying herself into fidgetS
over certain situations, accom-

good. She becomes so intense
over 1t, that she never rests or
allows her friends to, until she
gets some amazing piece Of good
done. And because she refuses
to take "No" for an answer from
anybody-she gets all kinds of
improvements in different well.

COMMANDER and Mrs. ''Frog-
~ gle" Reidel, who came here
for station, spent weeks in ar
ranging their apartment, which
is gorgeous place and just like
stepping into another world
when one enters the front door,
have been through a Seige of
illness which has kept them very
quiet. First the commander bat
tied with pneumonia, then the
son Of the house had a long
struggle with the flu and by the
time Mrs. Reidel, or Peggy, as
she is known to her intimateS,
got them through their conva-
leScence, she had to take a long
rest for herself.
The Reidels, who are a grand
couple, give the most delightful
parties and people on the West
Coast are still talking about the
farewell party Peggy gave when
she did over her entire house to
represent an Italian restaurant,
got in opera singers to enter
tain the guests with Strolling
melodies, had a typical Italian
menu with the appropriate
wines and then had an orches-
ira play for dancing until dawn.

"A daughter of Col. and Mrs.
Daniel H. Torrey, just to be
sure she wasn't going to miss
any Of the festivities to do with
the Army-Navy game today,
either before or after, especially
before, just up and left town
early yesterday morning for
Philadelphia.
