Mrs. Roosevelt found time 10
change their costumes and we
are still wondering when and
how they did it.
While a Silver Jubilee caused
fiestas aplenty in Denmark on
Saturday - we, too, had our
celebration, thanks to Mr.. Otto
Wadsted, our tall and hand
some Minister here.
Earlier in the morning Mr..
Wadsted had said a few words
over the radio-in fact, he
spoke twice, and once to Den
mark.
"And did you hear K in G
Christian? 2" he asked, as we re-
marked upon his fine address.
We were sorry, but we hadn't.
Guests wandered out on the
sun-dappled porch looking over
the terraced gardens at prac-
tically the whole Of Washing
ton. An impromptu bar was set
up out there-but the host of in
triguing canapes were the real
a trac ion. Little pastry
boats" filled with crabmeat,
caviar sprinkled over deviled
eggs, and tiny curled pink
shrimp were only a few Of the
delicacies offered.
In the dining room a table,
bedecked with red carnations
and white snapdragons, was
simply groaning wit h 70 o d.
HOLSTERS, salads, ices and cakes
were being gobbled up by the
horde.
His Britannia Majesty, Sir
Ronald Lindsay, whom one sees
so seldom in t h e afternoon,
stroled out on the terrace for
a chat with his host of friends.
The Secretary of Commerce
and Mrs. Daniel C. Roper just

luscious sable cape over h e r

When We remarked on h e r
tricky black hat banded in
snowy white feathers, with one
about two feet tall shooting out
from the top, this delightful
Frenchwoman cried:

We spied the Minister of Lat.
