MRS. THEODORE TILLER is
Wl hoping, and very earnestly,
that peoples eyesight didn't
take in her costume which she
wore to the German Embassy
Wednesday afternoon too
completely. Not that she didn't
look stunning in all black with
a matching hat, for she emphat1-
cally did, but -.
It happened that Mrs. Tiller
was just putting on her black
suede slippers when the phone
rang in her house. She hur-
ried to answer it, then hung up
and continued her dressing and
it wasn't until she came back
from the German Embassy
that she realized that she, like
the nursery jingle, had one
shoe on and one shoe off" The
only difference being that she
had only one suede slipper, and
the other was a nice business
like walking shoe, which she had
forgotten to change when she
returned from the phone.
HELEN SHELTON, the very
IL pretty daughter of DR..
Luther Shelton, U. S. N, is, so
we are told, just about ready to
announce her engagement to a
well-known and very nice young
chap.
MRS. FRANKLIN D. ROOSE-
IVA WELT seems to have that
uncanny knack of being forever
new and interesting to people.
The other afternoon, at the tea
and coll sale for the Goodwill
Industries, a sweet old couple,
with very white hair and a shy,
gentle manner, came in and
asked Mrs. Louis Caldwell If it
were true that Mrs. Roosevelt
was coming there for tea. Mrs.
Caldwell said it was perfectly
true.
"Well," replied the little old
man, my wife and I are here
from Portland, Ore, and we
would certainly like to just see
Mrs. Roosevelt" Mrs. Caldwell
told them that Mrs. Roosevelt
was expected at 4:30 and, as it
was then just 1870, suggested
that they might like to do some
other things and then come
back. But they both shook their
heads-they wanted to be sure
they wouldn't miss her, so they
waited. And when they saw
Mrs. Roosevelt come in, their
smiles were the loveliest things
one could ever see. And all they
did was just watch her.
IN THE late afternoon to the
l. tea given by Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Hoyt March, in the
Chinese Room at the Mayflower,
and the Marches receiving alone
and having time to give a per-
sonal greeting and a bit of a
pleasant chat to their guests.
Mrs. March's hat, which she wore
with a rose and gold blouse over
a deep rose skirt, was as smart
as paint and seemed to be a wee
piece of material, turned slightly
up on one side and that one side
