MISS CHRISTINE GAWNE,
V1 pretty daughter of Captain
and Mrs. James o. Gawne, has
an exceedingly interesting col
lection of guppy fish. She has
practically every Speciman and
kind and her aquarium is
thing of real beauty. There are
no end Of fascinating gadgetS
in this aquarium and one of
the most intriguing is a pirate
jewel chest, given Miss Gawne
by Miss Edith Beardall, the
daughter of Captain and Mrs.
John Beardall. This chest is
open and spills over with gilt
tering and bright colored colors
and seen through the water the
effect is gloriously different and
a bit breathtaking.

NOMDR. AND MRS. DONALD

ranking officials under one roof

HOL. AND MRS. WILLIAM
" ROSE are in town for
visit, and to await the arrival
of Governor Paul McNutt from
the Philippines. OF course you
know Governor McNutt is COM
ing via the Clipper Ship, and
we think that Colonel Rose is
an aide to Governor McNutt.
Anyhow, Mrs. Rose, who was
the former Rita Kane, grew up
in Washington and was uni

is small, darkly lovely, with
sleek black hair, a lovely laugh,
and she wears her smart clothes
with a great deal of distinction.
TAPT. AND MRS. DALLAS
" WAINWRIGHT were hosts
at dinner at the Army and Navy
Country Club Wednesday night.

she doesn't believe any one gets
to know anyone else at these
large affairs, SO her dinner was
just as she wished, nicely num-
bered and very congenial. Char
lotte, not at all incidentally, is
wearing very chic daytime suit,
these recent warm days. The
suit is severely plain, is Of gray
and black woolens, faStens
tightly at the neck. in demure
little clasp, has the very short
hem line and also tops it with a
matching turban, ornamented
by a glittering rhinestone and
black enamel pin.
THE Supply Corps of the Navy
Il are giving large cocktail
party at the Army and Navy
Country Club February 27. One
of the many nice things about
this particular cocktail party is
that everyone who attends it can
remember that all their official
calls have been considered re-
turned and-made. And in this
town where leisure is something
that one only reads about and
never has, and calls assume the
proportions of a heavy RESPONSE
bility, instead of, as they should
be. a pleasure, you can imagine
how nice this above ruling
will be.

to their many, many friends.
